This has been an idea of mine for a few days. There are so many websites on individual posts/threads with GREAT shopping! :D

 

Why not bring them all together in one directory for easy reference? This could grow to include shoes, bags, accessories, hats, mens fashion, etc, etc. Posters when listing a site should list:

 

1. website

2. brief description of goods available, sizes available (if applicable)

3. Note whether or not you've ordered from the site (ie: you like the quality/service, etc) or if you've just happened across the site and it looks interesting and wanted to pass it along.

 

The only thing I would suggest is to keep discussion/chatting to a bare minimum, make this a real directory.

 

 

I'll start with a few all-time favorites of mine!

 

 

http://www.junonia.com

Sportswear and great swimsuits for plus-size women. I've ordered from them extensively. Many swimsuits are chlorine-resistant.

 

http://www.shoebuy.com

Shoes in every width imaginable. Free shipping (return also!), love them!

 

http://www.silhouettes.com

Pretty, feminine plus-size clothing. Some more younger styles. Nice stylish wide shoes.

 

http://www.devalifewear.com

Natural fiber clothing. Much of it made in the USA. Many items perfect for hot tropical climates, lovely floaty nightgowns! Sizes S-XXXL, depending on style. Mens and women's garments.

 

http://www.kiyonna.com

Plus-size for 20-40 year old group (at a guess!). Very form fitting and sexy! Have not ordered, but would like to.

 

http://www.torrid.com

Trendy fashion for the plus-size teen and young adult. There is a Torrid store here in Minneapolis at the Mall of America and I have been in that. Fun merchandise meant to be worn for a year or two!

Lots of designer stuff at http://www.eluxury.com

 

Only problem with eluxury is that they're often higher priced than full retail.

 

In the past, I've seen designer items in a store like Sak's and was hoping to find them for less online and they were either the same or a few dollars more at eluxury. This happens a lot with the Dior things. I found a pair of Dior leather pants a couple of years ago that were $1800. in the Dior store as well as in Sak's. Just for a lark, I decided to search for them on line - Eluxury was selling them for $1900.

Funnily enough, I found them on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and the bid for them was about $800. I don't know what they eventually sold for.

 

So, if you find something you love at eluxury, before you buy it, check with a retailer like Neimans or Sak's and you might even get it for less.

www.sydneyscloset.com - beautiful plus size formals, haven't ordered from here but renewed my faith that I could feel like a princess instead of a grandmother.

 

www.avenue.com - some nice casual wear and great swimsuits

 

www.lanebryant.com - the quintessential plus-size gal's fashion valhalla (imho)

 

and don't forget, www.oldnavy.com now carries plus sizes in select stores and on the web, cute stuff and great prices -- I order from there at least 1-2 times a month!

 

If I think of more I will post them....

http://www.dress-directory.com/

Brings together dresses from many different websites (sections for misses, plus, maternity, petite, and tall). If you find something, clicking on it takes you to the actual company website.

 

http://www.cosmeticscop.com/

Excellent non-allergenic products for sale (face, body, makeup). She also has written books scientifically evalutating the claims of major brand cosmetic products. Very fair, recommends products besides her own but not afraid to say what items are a waste of $.

 

http://www.beachstore.com

Haven't ordered here, but intend to! Fun site for all things "beach"
