I'm brand new to this site. I stumbled upon you all while browsing the internet, running search after search, trying to find clothing online which would appeal to me, fit me properly, and that I could afford.

I'm 35 years old. Am 5' 6 1/2", have a long torso, wear a 34 AA bra size, and have fuller thighs and bottom. The distance between my bust and shoulders is small. I can't wear many tops, even in xsmall or petite, because the neckline is far too low.

I can fluctuate from a women's size 6 to size 2 in pants, within the year depending on my workout schedule. I have to keep many sizes in my closet. My upper body is thin, but my shoulders are pretty broad; I was told my shoulders are size 8. My arms are long and thin. My calves are very thin. My feet have little arch and I wear size 9. Heels are usually very uncomfortable and I can't typically wear them.

I describe myself as being skinny, yet curvy (on my lower half). The size of my thighs and bottom is what mostly stops me from fitting into smaller sizes.

I have a terrible time clothes shopping. Women's clothing usually is too big overall and is too conservative for my taste. I usually have to shop in the Juniors section, but that clothing can be revealing and the style too youthful.

I used to try to wear padded bras to help make me look more proportionate, but I'm so small busted, I can't find bras to fit well either, and then they just move all the time and ate uncomfortable and can look unnatural.

I guess what I want is to just be comfortable and still love the clothes I'm wearing. There isn't much selection in my area, however. I live in a small Kansas town. Shopping via internet would give me selection, but I hesitate because of fit issues. I also cannot afford to spend much; I'm a single Mom of two.

If anyone has any ideas or recommendations, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks!!
