Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
Where can you find really affordable buisness attire... Its been almost two years since I have worked and I am finding I hate the way most of my outfits look...
I am looking into plus sizes to give me the room I need in the places I need the most.. Thing is I find they are sooo expensive.... Any suggestions????
TIA

Re: Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
I love Lane Bryant. But they are expensive. Maybe Target or Kohls (do they have Kohls in Florida?)
Try online you can see what they have before you go.
Lane Bryant
Kohls
Target

Re: Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
Yeah.. i checked out Lane bryant... Gotta couple of shirts and skirts.. Unfortunately we don't have Kohl's down here  lol... I havent tried target for plus sizes though.. The other tough dillemma is that I am five eleven and need the height as well... I am finding buisness pants suits are coming up short... (no pun intended) I will look into target... Any other suggestions???

Re: Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
If you to Macy's Misses Dept they have some nice classic business attire (Jones NY etc) and if you get a 14W as opposed to a straight 14, it will give you more room.

Re: Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
WHAT IS WITH THAT BOTTOM ONE.  ETA I ment the bottom dress not the suite I like the suite.
On a side note... I want to know why they have beautiful skinny models do their bra and panty ads. Now im not saying id like someone who looks like me in the ads. I don't like looking at myself in the mirror but... maybe put it on a dummy or just photograph on nothing... This is from the avenue website. RANT OVER THANK YOU

Re: Gotta Question for the borderline plus size gals...
FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was looking at that too... If I had abs that looked like that I wouldnt need to shop @ avenues!!!! 
I am doing searches and I find decent suits and then click on available sizes and it goes up to regular 12 ! Grrrrrrr This one is kinda frumpy for me but still......

I know that stinks.  I looked at nice suits in Macys but they were so much money. 
I like this one but the jacket is 119.50 the tank top is 34.50 and the skirt is 49.50 Thats a lot of money. Maybe not but I don't have any money LOL...
W T F I keep trying to post it and its putting on a bathing suite LOL.
I GIVE UP I JUST RESAVED IT AS SOMETHING ELSE AND IT STILL PUTTING THE BATHING SUITE UP

Well I don't agree with what they call WorkWear, but this site is different. They have stores.
