I know how difficult it is to find great plus size clothes so I wanted to share a great sale I heard about with everyone. CJ Banks is having their Friends & Family event this weekend where everything in-store and online is 40% off! They have great plus size clothing that is fashionable and comfortable. Share with your friends! http://www.cjbanks.com/entry.point?t...AD:3441947:CJB

Wonderful outfit

Hi, here is a picture of me in my usual outfit, a fitted top and jeans (previously shown in the LV clubhouse).

I am in desperate need of a quality solid color tunic. I am 45yo, 5' 4" and a size 18/18W. My backside is really sticking out

I think I would prefer a 30" tunic, not too long...

Can some please please recommend a quality brand tunic that will last through many washings and is a nice flattering style? I also like a slightly loose, or empire-style loose type of tunic. V-neck is flattering too.

Okay... I finally got up the nerve and it's now or never.... just went through my closet and pulled out all the TUNICS... pictures are coming....

rainrowan · Nov 10th, 2009, 11:14 AM

My every day outfit is a plain fitted top with cropped pants or denims.

Talbots sz X top
The Avenue cropped pants
Speedy 35.

It is really hard to take pictures w/o the tripod; I am leaving out the handbags in the other shots

1X floral tunic from TJ Maxx
The Avenue cropped pants
(i need a body shaper under this one...)

^I hope these pictures give you an idea of what I'm looking for tunics style-wise.... any recs would be so appreciated! If I could order online, that would be even better.

Would love to dress more in the style of the last set of pics but being a SAHM I can't seem to pull it off all the time like other moms, or can I? I think I make too many messes myself to manage...

Give it a try, maybe you can!

I saw some nice ones here:
http://www.silhouettes.com/endecasea...atchallpartial

and ann taylor too

BTW like all your outfits, you look good and comfortable.

rainrowan · Nov 10th, 2009, 01:26 PM

^^ooh I like what I see already at Silhouettes, thank you Samia! I'll let you know if I end up ordering before the holidays. Yes I prefer the looser feel. Nearly all my fitted tops feel constricting and makes me feel there's nothing to wear...

Ann Taylor makes plus sizes?? Where have I been all this time?? Must take a look... each time I've passed by them at the mall I see only the petite/average sizes in windows.

Samia · Nov 10th, 2009, 01:56 PM

^ They go upto XXL/18, here is the size chart from there website:
