and one more thing, since I have more hips and thighs than allowed in the cover of Cosmopolitan I was wondering if you have any tips for trendy and nice clothes in NY?

jeans in size 16 (british)???

vintage clothes in any size?

flea markets?

As added by Betty:

Concentrate on two locations: Lord & Taylor, on Fifth Ave. at 39th Street. From there walk over 4 blocks to Macy's, Broadway. at 35th Street, and Daffy's, 34th St. & Broadway (across the street from Macy's).

A second destination is Chelsea: Filene's Basement and T.J. Maxx are in the same building on 6th Ave. at 19th Street. A couple of blocks up is Burlington Coat Factory, on 6th Ave. at 23rd Street.

Wear comfy shoes!

Real Women have curves!
Remember:
They get to be on the cover of cosmo, but we get to eat more chocolate.

Hi ya,

I have my natural curves and am reaally proud of ´em.

That´s why I was looking for trendy and nice clothes, no need to diet or starve. I like bums and thighs

If you are near Macy's there's an Ashleigh Taylor shop on 34th Street, right next to the Empire State building, they have larger sizes, I haven't been in there so I don't know what sort of clothes they have. There are 2 vintage shops on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues and one on 25th Street between 6th and 7th.

I like being a bums and thighs girl too- I'm part samoan AND a new zealander so I got curves in all the places. I'm a brit 16/14 too- So we in the same boat here chickadee. Actually coz our country is a little big-peoples land, the plus size nice clothes are everywhere! you should come shopping over here! and take me back to new york with you. Coz I wanna go. So much.

I still think the "women's" areas of the large department stores have the best selections, much more to choose from than the specialty shops. Most of the popular designers make their lines in petite and women's sizes too.

This is quite a cheap store, but its very trendy and has an entire plus area. It's called Rainbow and there are a few of them but the only one i know of is on 5th Ave and I think its' 35th Street? It's in the 30's def.

Also try the top floor of Macys, they had quite a few designers with larger sizes. I got a fab silk shirt from their sales rack for only $12!! And, if you go to the customer services and show a foreign passport, they give you a discount card which gives you discount on everything including the sales stuff!!

thank you all very very much

can´t wait to smell plastic burning
