Hi Ladies-- another *curvacious* bride here... We went to try on wedding gowns the other day (wedding is still a year away, but most stores tell me I need to order at least 6 months out!) but I hate that the selection is soooo limited in any sample size above a 12!! I am a 20/22/24 (depending on what it is and the cut)- we ended up at Davids' Bridal just to try on different styles of dresses (but I really don't like their customer service, or lack of so I really don't want to purchase from them) I found a couple of different styles of dresses, but I hate that if I want to order a "desinger" one, it is all by chance, that I can't try it on- oh well.
For everyday clothes, I ususally go to old navy online, Macy's, Target & Marshalls- for dressy stuff Nordstrom is fantastic. I used to go to Lane Bryant alot, but I have found that in the past year or so most of the things there are not really work atire (the stuff I see is too trendy or all jeans)- or if they are, they are way too expensive (for what it is).
I started going to the gym- not only helps with getting in shape/losing weight, but I find it a great stress reducer, but a within a week of going back, I fell at home (trying not to step on the cat, I fell up the stairs--only me!) and sprained/strained my ankle, so I have a lovely walking boot on for the next few weeks- so much for the treadmill!
Anyway, I just found this thread and wanted to say hi to everyone!
