My couple of non-pop button downs are from Catherine's — summer shirts I bought awhile ago, but yes, it's the princess seams that make the difference. They also put bust darts in many of their tops, which is a huge help.

Yes this exactly. I am never going to find clothes that are going to fool someone into thinking — “wow, she’s skinny” — and more to the point, I don't want to. I want clothes made of good fabric, in colors I like, and with decent tailoring, that fits the look I am striving for - which has more to do with symmetry and…

And I'm quite sure the entire Drumpf family is staring at the giant pile of cash that is the American government and thinking about how to steal it blind.

You lost me at "banana."

“I always come back.” Right there with you, have been playing off & on since 2007. The beauty of being able to freeze accounts to go do other stuff and then step right back in when new content comes out.

I hope all those 18 and up so desperately worried about a video game will remember to vote in November. Maybe Niantic could be persuaded to put Pokémon at polling stations.

So with you - as an urban professional, I am not interested in giant flowers, lace (ewwww), etc. A very few companies take time to do things like bust darts or pintucks, but most just seem to cut a square with holes for arms and neck. I don’t need layers, I have layers! Baggy and shapeless won’t hide the fact that I’m…

I think it's interesting that the buyer uses the word "distorting" in talking about upsizing. Tells you everything you need to know about her attitude.

Not me, I am most permanently, definitely fat. I would happily give designers my money for better clothes.

I find that buying really nice purses & shoes also helps :)

I'm in exactly the same place - being plus-sized since childhood, now I'm north of 40 finally there are cute clothes.

I've gotten a couple great jackets from Simply Be. Avenue carries some nice pintuck shirts for those who are smaller on top with wide hips - first flattering shirts I've found. Thanks for the retro list, going to check those out.

Although most of their clothing sucks, Woman Within carries 5-pocket wide leg jeans in denim and twill that are excellent for those of us with thunder thighs. I add a button to take in the waist.

Exactly. I am six feet tall in my boots, large, deep-voiced, and not wearing makeup and a skirt to shop. I guess gamergate has run its course, this is the next thing ("pottygate"?) for stay-out-of-my-treehouse men to obsess about.

You know the bathroom door isn’t magical right? It won’t keep out “men” if they want to go into a woman's bathroom. My continuing plan, as always, will be to use bathrooms and completely ignore whomever else is in there, because it's none of my business/I don' care. If I think I'm not going to be 'safe' in a bathroom,…

It’s simply a room for disposing of waste products, regardless of the icon on the door. Bodily functions trump insane politics. Let's make them all unisex, which would also solve the "magic door" problem.

“In order for men to gain entry to a women’s bathroom, all he needs to do is...open the bathroom door.”

A number of recent research studies have shown that once you have dieted down to your ideal weight, you will need to continue to consume a few hundred calories less per day to maintain that weight, versus a person who has always been normal weight. This is what apparently confounds the efforts of a lot of dieters -…
