All women have issues finding affordable/flattering clothing.

Yes mtp, I have. And I do buy some things online but I prefer to try them on. I just hate the gamble of guessing my size, waiting for it to arrive, trying it on then returning it for exchange. It takes forever just to buy a blouse! I do NOT understand female sizing at all!
The plus sizes still don't really fit until I get to 2X or 3X but then while my shoulders and chest fit, the rest is way too loose. I sometimes take something I otherwise love to a seamstress and have her resize it to fit me but that is spendy!
I have threatened to parade around in maternity wear to see what happens but haven't quite had the nerve yet!
