I have a bali trip coming up and I have travelled enough times to know I cannot take an empty bag and just buy what I need while I am there.

I am on a strict baggage limit of 17kg (I rarely travel with less than 40kg in all honesty) so I've been very deliberate with my packing and planed an outfit map. It helps me so much to visualise my outfits and to not over pack. It does take some time and patience though.

I grab all the items I am thinking of taking, try them on and make sure they fit how I want them to. Having visited Bali before I know for a fact I will bloat so I made sure everything was really comfortable/slightly loose fitting.

Then I take photos of the items and make a collage of each type (pants together, tops together etc) pick out which items are more cohesive, this helps narrow down so I can easily mix and match. I started off with like six pants, tweleve tops, five skirts etc and culled from there.

It is a process but I actually really enjoy it and then I put collages together (most product images I sourced from where I got them or I took a photo of them with a good light and removed the background) of bottoms and tops, dresses, beach/swimwear and accessories to see it all together.

I've posted the final collages.

This may seem totally crazy but I needed to pack a couple of months in advance due to moving and this truly helps with the temptation not to buy more or add more.

I'll post how I style them while I am there in October 💃

I used to be a black jean girlie but now that I've gotten used to skirts, there's no going back. Especially in the summer heat. I felt so cute saying hi to some goats. 😂

So, I’m 52. I’ve had 2 kids. I’ve probably lost and gained hundreds of pounds over my lifetime so far (you may be picking up on the fact that my lower belly is big and hanging). I have to go to a cardiology conference at the end of October. I spend most of my days in scrubs, or mix and match casual clothes. The “suggested” attire is business casual.

I HATE structured clothes. Blazers and collared shirts would be a possibility, but I also have short hair and I’m not ready to look like a bus driver interviewing for a bank job.

What do you guys do when you have this particular attire suggested? I’m leaning towards maybe some shirt dresses and leggings or…yeah, that’s all I got.

Help a sister out!

I am in the USA and have a funeral to attend next week and they are requesting everyone to wear white. I was trying to order a dress off of ever pretty, but it won’t get here in time and I need it by next Tuesday. I’m also realizing it’s hard to find a dress that’s white because lots of fall colors are coming into season.

I have tried looking at Torrid, Eloqui, Anthropology, JCPenney, Kohls, Macys, Maurice’s and others with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated. For reference I’m around a size 22-24 or 3x.

Hi all! First time poster :)

These were originally my mama’s jeans. I’m not 100% on her pant size but she usually wears around a 4x. I am an 18-22 for pant size, 2x (ish.) for tops etc. For me, these jeans fit tighter around my thighs, and loosen below the knees. Are these just bootcut? I’ve looked up boot cut jeans on women of similar size to me, but it doesn’t exactly look like what I’m looking for. The tag says straight cut, but that would be straight cut for a woman bigger than me, so I’m not 100% sure 😅

Unfortunately these jeans have basically eroded in the inner thighs, a struggle I’m sure a lot of you face 💔 older, fast fashion denim + big thighs rubbing together + near daily use = fabric that has just proofed out of existence… so I’m looking for a replacement pair!!

All help is appreciated :) thx!

Hello! I have wide feet but not extra wide and it’s mostly a toe box issue. Does anyone have any recs for a daily 1.5-2in pump? No straps, closed toed. Preferably in some sort of leather or pleather. I feel like my internet scouring skills are lackluster.

ETA: I’m NA based. Shoe size US 9.5/UK 40. I’m looking to spend anywhere up to $150. My current dailies are Birkenstocks and Teva sandals.

hi lovelies! so i want to buy a pair of dr martens but im not really sure how sizing works. ive heard they run big but what im afraid of is the top of the shoe being too constricting. my feet are quite fat so i wanted to know if any other fat feet peeps could chime in with their experiences with dr martens boots! im looking specifically at the jadon lll pisa material!

I'm in the midst of overhauling my closet and have found the brand PRETTYGARDEN has a lof of basics for reasonable prices, but I wanted to see if anyone here had experience ordering from them and if their sizing was pretty true to what was listed. Allegedly a lot of their items run up to a US 20, which is perfect, but I'd hate to buy a bunch of stuff and just have to return it because they run small.

I've been searching and searching, and there are absolutely no women's band tees for Korn, Linkin Park, or even Metallica! (I live in the USA for reference) The band tees that I have seen modified for girls are like a maximum of 22 in width across the chest. (Pit to pit) I'm 32-34in!!!! And when using a fashion measuring tape around my torso, like i do for most chain clothing businesses, I'm 49.5 in. HOWEVER, the only times it WOULD fit around my chest, the length of the shirt, from hem to collar, is like 31in, that's down to my mid-thigh!!! I'm dying, guys. Please, I need help 😭 I do NOT CARE about the price; I just need options!!!

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in two weeks. I have the dress, which is tailored to fit and I feel decent in it! My problem now is my footwear. I used to be the girl who wore heels whenever, but now I avoid them like the plague. I haven’t really worn them in years. And my foot size changed to Wide after being pregnant last year. I got a new pair of heels and searched specifically for wide, comfortable shoes. They fit technically, but gosh my feet hurt. Especially one foot that I am going through physical therapy to treat. Idk what to do or how I’m going to make this work! Any advice??

I am beginning to think that I just cannot wear their sweatpants lol. I love my zip up and hoodies I have from them. But pants… absolutely not! I am so sad! At first I bought the grey leopard hoodie with the matching pants which those are minimalist straight leg.. I bought a 2x and they were way too tight in the belly but giant oh my legs! Super unflattering.

Just ordered a bundle deal for $57 which is a steal with a zip up and matching sweats. (Joggers in cloud line) nope! I have a lot of room in the stomach but yet they’re still tightish?? Tried these ones in a 3x since they claim to run bigger than the minimalist line. Don’t know how to explain it but it’s not flattering, could wear something over to cover my tummy however I look like a tent. I mean the legs on these are so huge on me that I think I could fit 3 legs my size in one pant leg 😅

I will sadly have to return. I don’t understand the sizing. Now I am 5’8, 290 and normally a 20-22. I do not have thick thighs though, I have rather small legs and more of a belly, so more apple shaped. I see so many women on tik tok model these that are much larger than me and they look great. Am I just being scammed?? 😅 if anyone has any insight on maybe another style that works better let me know!

By chance has anyone come across decent designer shirts or polos? Something like Givenchy?

I’m a trans woman, plus sized, and I’ve shopped ladies plus since I transitioned.

There’s an annoying tendency in ladies plus sized fashion that just because the garment is made for a woman who’s measurements are larger than “average” (I doubt those non-plus sized garments can actually be called “average” in America, where I’m from).

Long story short: when i shop I see three categories: “normal”, which is so “normal” it doesn’t get it’s own size distinction, “petit”, and “plus”.

The plus sized garments tend to cover more of the wearer’s body. So does anyone know of an online shop I can find clothes that fit larger bodies which show skin?

For anyone looking for cute, colorful dresses look no further than Sugar Lips.

I never heard of them until recently and shopped at Dillard's and found a cute muumuu for my trip to Cancun, size 2XL. I can't find it on Dillard's site.

It is not my style or my colors (it's very bright with toucans and flowers) but it is so flattering and adorable and comfortable. It was on clearance too!!

My boyfriend’s college is having a formal event and I haven’t shopped for dresses since prom so I have NO idea where to even begin ! I would love suggestions for places online/ in person shopping that offer formal plus size dresses.
Thank you in advance
USA size 18-20
Price range max $200ish

Top is from torrid (thrifted) skirt is from old navy, shoes are thrifted without label, shirt is from lane Bryant, I wanna say? But I seriously cannot remember

going to event this weekend, cant decide which top. im gonna use. 🥹☺️

Has anyone else noticed that extended sizing past an XL for women’s clothing is gone on items where it used to exist, particularly all of the fancier maxi dresses for an occasion like a wedding ? I tried to call the customer service today and they said they could not disclose whether or not that was going to be permanent…

My longtime friend is getting married. (He's the groom) These is the guideline:

Guests are welcome to wear formalwear or traditional cultural dress, including Indian attire.

Suggested Attire:

Ladies - Formal dresses, dressy separates, or other celebratory attire.

I live in Central Jersey so I have access to stores in "Little India" but I am nervous and still would love to look online first. Get good ideas that might work for me.

The trouble is I am 5' and 270. So around US size 22. By most sites I looked at for Saree or Anakarli dresses I am a 6x. Also my budget is under $250.

It is an autumn wedding in NYC so I don't want to overheat with long sleeves but 3/4 is doable.

Does anyone have suggestions? Previous experience?

I’m looking for a good plus-size push up bra. I’m a 42/44 B/C. My breasts are fuller on the bottom and very flat up top. They look deflated 😭. I really want a god bra that isn’t super full coverage and will actually give them lift. I don’t mind padding, but I’d reallllly love to find something wireless!

Located in The Netherlands. I have a curvy body and a great waist but the trend of oversized coats just drown me. And I want to feel good when I'm outside.
I don't like how square this coat makes me look and I feel the sleeves are too big. But I like the lenght and the look of it.

Which brands should I shop at that have good coats/jackets for fall and actually fit a curvy body?
I'm a size 14-16UK ish.

Just bought this dress on Amazon, I think it’s cute! But I definitely need to wear my hair down and maybe a cardigan 😅

Hi everyone, thanks for having me!

Before I start, I want to clarify to ensure everyone feels comfortable: I am a crossdresser. I hope that’s okay here.

I’m looking for a mini skirt and having a really hard time finding one. There’s an upcoming event in my city for the crossdressing community. The dress code is elegant, lingerie, or fetish.

I really want to wear a mini skirt. I’ve never worn one before, and I’m super excited for this party—it will be my first time doing something like this, and I think it will be wonderful to meet people with shared interests.

My bust, waist, and hips are all around 125 cm (approx. 49 inches). I am 1.90m (6'3") and around 125 kg (275 lbs). Finding clothes in my size is always a challenge.

I’m specifically looking for a mini skirt in a fetish style (like faux leather, vinyl, or latex look). I’ve dug through Amazon and various other sites, but whenever I find fetish-style items in my size, it’s always just corsets.

I found a wonderful US retailer for everyday plus-size clothes, tops, pants, and lingerie, which was great, but they don't carry fetish wear or mini skirts.

I feel pretty stuck and would love any advice, store recommendations, or ideas before I give up.

Thank you so much for any help!
