Tips:
·Most plus sizes you’ll have to order online.
·You may have to remove the belt loops on sweaters or tops so that you can self-tie, or they may end up too high on your waist.
·Several places to look: Land’s End, L.L.Bean, GAP, Old Navy, H&M, R.E.I., Boden, Garnet Hill, Nordstrom, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Target, Alloy, dELiA's--really, anywhere girls' clothes are sold!
·Patagonia and Columbia jackets and pullovers also come in XXL kids’ sizes for a fraction of the cost of an adult jacket.
·An added bonus: Girls’ bottoms have an internal belt—takes the bulk out of your profile if you’re wearing a untucked tight shirt over the top.
Check out the Mind the GAP tab "For Smaller Women" to your right for more girls' clothes that will fit women.
