Branwyn, I need help~ plus size Mamas- come on in and join this thread!
What sort of clothes should I buy, that are flattering on a "full figured" Mama? I want to look nice, but I buy baggy flour sack like clothing because I dont know what looks nice. I wondered if you have any advice?

Reason: to include other Mamas that would benefit from the advice in here!

i do! i have some issues of "figure" magazine, would you like me to send them to you? yes they have many size 14 models but they also have 20+ models too. i find that just flipping thru them gives me some great ideas (of course i usually live in old navy jeans and shirts when i am at home and when i go out its tanks with a shrug on over-im not very comfy showing my upper arms- and strippy skirts)
I would LOVE that! I will paypal you at least the cost of shipping, I am in canada, let me know if you would like more too. I dont think we have that mag here, I have never seen any mags with plus size models before. I am too afraid to show my upper arms also. Which sucks, because I used to really like tanks in the summer.

heres some pics of what i love to wear
the shrug (can be found at any walmart, target or oldnavy):
some tanks and baby doll tops (also found anywhere)
i love wearing the tanks and a shrug with a good bra bc it accentuates my boobs and detracts from my belly. you can get the shrugs in long sleeve or 3/4 (my fav) and you can wear them with jeans or a skirt and look great!
I was bulimic too. Well, both anorexic and bulimic, depending on where i was,kwim? I love those pics you posted..we have no targets here, and old navy doesnt go up to plus sizes in canada, and wal-mart has the TINEST section of plus size clothing. I could never find anything that cool here, arg.

if you find anything you like by looking online, i would be happy to go and pick it up and send it to you. anything to help out a curvy mama (and a sister fighting EDs)
jlmk what colours you like and what your measurements are (or your RTW clothing size)
all of these stores are just right down the road from me

you know whats good for that a shrug that doesnt tie under the boobs, that way its not drawing attention to the belly area but the upper arms are covered (which like i said is a must for me)
Linear Mode
