Note: I have one pair of jeans not in the photos because they're on hold at Macy's and I'm getting this evening so I'll post about them later and more about feeling comfortable for the first time in two years in jeans, and how awesome (if you are someone working on losing weight) it feels to be a size and a half smaller! :)
Here is what I found: (PS) That weird foot is my boyfriend's, so WHY did he only take one photo? I felt that from above was unfair, only tall people see me that way. I want you to see me at not only "flattering" angles... I don't look only that way. :)
PS Links to currently sold items will be listed as LINK. :)
American Rag Plus, size 1X (they carry 0x-3x), at Macy's, Dress, and about a year old cardigan also from Macy's and also a 1X.
So the dress has a cute vintage feel with the bottom trim, it has the front zipper, since last season (I got two last year in different patterns, one with no trim and one with cotton lace trim hehe) they've made the padding at the bust better, it is still individual obviously (since the zipper) but it is much thinner and a tad wider which hopefully means it wont fold like the other two in which case I had cut them out from the inside. The straps are adjustable which is always good. It is a fit n flare with lovely very stretchy panelling (hidden away perfectly at the mid-back) which meant that this is the same size I wore last year even though my waist is 4 inches smaller! So now it is ALMOST too loose but still wearable until probably a size or two smaller (12-14 is about a 0x realistically since this is juniors sizing).
and in their other pattern: black back with white polka dots! (so cute!!) LINK
Closer look at the pattern
The trim, it is only at the end which is comfortable, no itchy business.
stretchy panelling and tag
Look at the pattern, geometric and flowers. Neat, funky and very summery! :)
The lace on the sides of the cardigan.
Tag, Premise Studio at Macy's.
This next dress is from Forever 21+. It is a 2X (Forever 21 also runs as more junior sizing and smaller). The cardigan is also "older," and is from Macy's and is a XL petite from Charter Club.
This is a"chiffon" style bottom that is flowy (and if you're not careful quite see-through), it has a silky shift underneath that hits at the knee and smartly has some elastic at the bottom that keeps it in place! The top overlay is a loose lace. The color is a blush-y, almost tan/cream off-white color.
* Currently sold out ONLINE.
Same dress, Cardigan from first post, just trying to figure out which color is preferable. :p
Eyelet, Orange-y dress from Target, size XXL, with an Old Navy XL cardigan.
GREAT elastic waist, this size is too big in the waist, it is fine in the bust and good at the hips, because of having a bigger lower tummy, I prefer for it to be a little loose at the waist than too tight at the stomach.
This second cardigan is from K-Mart and is a XL. It is also an eyelet pattern and is an off-white color and very cool for summer!
Basic Editions is the brand.
Mossimo is the brand.
This blouse is from American Rag plus and is a size 1X. I have numerous blouses in this style from this brand. They're light, comfy, flowy and cute! I LOVE THEM! This is a new one (since all my old ones were getting a bit worn). The cardigan is Old Navy, XXL (their XL had been sold out). Here I am also wearing new BONGO at K-mart jeggings. They're AMAZINGLY comfortable and higher waisted which I love because there is no camel-toe from pulling up low-waist jeans/jeggings and these look like jeans and feel like soft, stretchy jeans. They're a dark wash too which I like. They come in sizes S-3X. They're all together in the juniors section. I'm wearing a 1X here. They fit me at 5'3" tall and my sister at 5'7" tall. A 1X fits a size 16 (me) and 18 (my sister). A size 14 would probably need a XL and a size 20 would probably need a 2X, assuming each X represents two sizes, the 3X could probably fit a size 26.
As you can see it is a more mint color.
LINK They're called Knit Jeggings and this is the plus size link (of course!)
Old Navy Cardigan from before and a Forever 21 + blouse in a 1X. It is looser and very flowy. I like my blouses long to completely cover my tummy.
This is another new American Rag plus blouse in a 1X. This is slightly more polyester, silky material instead of more cotton. It is a neat pattern I thought. This is with the pink cardigan seen above. (This was supposed to be a "new" top but I can't find it online, sorry!)
This is another Old Navy cardigan in a size XL.
And a third blouse from American Rag plus in a size XL. A tropical print that is fun! This is with a black cardigan, identical excepting color as the other lace one seen above.
The color balance is off, weirdly, but this is with the burgundy cardigan.
SOME OTHER FINDS:
Titled "Basic Top Cami" Not sure which online link but here are three! LOL
I got these two camisoles from Forever 21 + in a size 3X. These are looser on me BUT not super loose. I recommend sizing up, (I wear between a 1X and 2X at Forever 21). I got it in mint and black. So cheap too! Pretty soft. I got these for added cleavage coverage (which is not necessary but I prefer) with the American Rag blouses. Bust/waist wise I'd fit better a 0X but tummy wise I am a 1X so it can be a tad gap-y if I ever bend/lean over and it can be like BAM! BREASTS! (which if you're busty you know is easy when you're a D {like me} or larger!)
PS I was wearing as a PJ old casual dresses that were a loose style from summer from ASOS plus (they're WAY too big at a size 20 for me but so damn comfy)!!! They're leaping tigers. :D I had bought these when I was a 1.5 sizes bigger in June 2014, for traveling because I spent two weeks in the UK with my dad. They'd been loose then but passably because I was about a 14-18 in dresses (Now I'm a 12-16 in dresses and a 16 in pants). I was a VERY tight 18 in pants and because of the then in between sizing I avoided pants for the most part for 2 years plus I was a total idiot and until this summer ashamed of being plus-sized and often instead of sizing up or just dealing with how I looked, I'd not go shopping, OR even more so, I'd avoid actually making life choices to love myself and make lifestyle changes to feel healthier and also to lose weight.
Thanks for Reading and Comment PLEASE!! :D
SIZE CHARTS:
This last one is not THAT helpful. The jeggings are looser and more women's style than juniors. As you can notice juniors is WAYYYYYY smaller than women's sizing. So freaking weird to me... But just fyi for K-mart sizing. I tried on a 15 and it fit like a 12, looking at this size chart NOW I know why! lol
