I am a very short, small-framed petite in the US and struggle A LOT with finding clothes that fit, since it's all too big. So hopefully we are sitting on a gold mine here for you! I don't know much about larger sizes, but I do know that the Eileen Fisher brand runs large and has some stylish but modest pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-5#post-1156054 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 23:41:21 +0000 Karie 1156054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Karen - we share the same name!

I like that, that you aren't interested in being a trendsetter. That's very honest. Also refreshing. It's nice to just look nice! But, of course, you may still yet come one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-5#post-1155814 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:16:13 +0000 abc 1155814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Karen! I know the frustration of dressing when plus sized. But there are options and I think fit and flattery are foremost. You're on the right track when looking for things to highlight your shaper rather than just cover up. In my opinion covering up in shapeless clothes can actually make you look bigger. Take a look at Angie's dressing your body type links and spend some time searching the archives for inspiration as there are plenty of plus size members here. Welcome and good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-5#post-1155727 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:09:02 +0000 Joyce B 1155727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Karen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-5#post-1155707 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:32:34 +0000 Suz 1155707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Karen!

I loved your introduction and am sure will get lots of inspiration here, no matter your size! I'm an size USA12/14&nbsp;and living in&nbsp;the EU, so unfortunatelly cannot help with exact brands and shopping there but&nbsp;my faves are &nbsp;the UK&nbsp; based Marks and Spencer (Next, New Look)-and other europeans, too(Mexx, s'Oliver, Vögele)-which I like and find them good and trusty quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-5#post-1155604 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:14:00 +0000 karenzxc 1155604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi I'm Karen, I'm 37, attractive brunette &nbsp;(if I do say so myself) plus sized (Australian size 16-18). Its hard to buy clothes that look nice in my size, recently read an article about bigger sizes being harder to buy in Australia that fit well so will try buying more overseas ie USA, with sleeves and flattering necklines. Looking for some advice about what colours go together, how to look more stylish because if I'm perfectly honest I'm more about covering, hiding and tucking rather than being a trendsetter.</p>
