The first four I mentioned in these posts, but all were good.

I also tried this: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ka.....ze/4652925

I'm not keeping it, but I would had the panel been lace instead of leather. The leather is just too hard of a look for me at the moment, but it was super comfortable and very well made. It was soft and draped well.

These peplums looked spectacular on FrannieB..fabulous for a pear-ish plus.

Here is her whole thread with some more finds -- various leggings and such. I will go through and see which she ended up liking a lot.

It's more like a suiting material, but it seems quite waterproof. I liked it, but I didn't think it would be warm enough to take me as far into the fall as I'd like. But it was a solid jacket, substantial, and true to Ralph Lauren sizing.

Hey there! I can't add finds easily on mobile but will chime in with my finds.

https://em.nordstrom.com/pub/c.....U67rk42xCE.
Beautifully cut, soft leather, structured but cut well for a large bust, rear peplum is subtle but cut well for an hourglass, and the back of a tall collar is friendly to an average or shorter neck. True to size.

https://em.nordstrom.com/pub/c.....fKOdEGeaXo.
Thin but not clingy, body skimming. You'll need to be ok with the voluminous bell sleeves. Cute white piping.

Other tops I have ordered but not arrived yet-not in stores in my size.

I am a size 16-18, L or XL, and sometimes a 1X. I really liked the Caslon Twill Peplum Jacket, Bernardo Velvet Bomber Jacket, EF Merino Wool Pullover (in which I took an M), Halogen Wool and Cashmere Tunic, and the Levi's military jacket (which I'm not keeping because it's too short on me and the wrong color, not because of fit).

There are pictures of plus-size me wearing some of these items on my review thread.

I bought Caslon patchwork cropped jeans. They run a size big in comparison to other plus size jeans I tried on. Nice denim with some stretch. Not low rise. Like that they have some "character" to them. Wearing them now; very comfortable.

For some reason I can't find the link. I'm on mobile now. Will try to find link and update.

ETA: it's these but in plus size. I don't see them online but they were in store.

I have a number of things on order- unfortunately the shipping says they won't be here until the 24th. I did receive this dress today- I know it isn't a top (IMHO there wasn't much to choose from in plus this year) -

The color of the dress is amazing - a true deep blue red...

I also tried on these Wit and Wisdom cropped jeans. Loved them, very comfortable waistband. Smaller fit, I'd say TTS or size up for a more forgiving fit. Nice basic denim look. I chose the Caslon because I just need one pair and wanted something a bit different. If I wanted a more classic pair of cropped denim I would have selected these.

Suz thanks for checking out my finds - I have some more to add. Sheepishly ducks head because I have done a wardrobe overhaul with this sale and the number of things I have tried on and bought is a lot.

So yes I have more things I can comment on, when I get home.

Loved this dress when she brought it to me in the dressing room I said I don't do dresses like this but I'll tried it on and loved it. I'm pretty sure I bought the next size up for some more ease in the hips because I had the shoulders and sleeves tailored.

This top is comfy I found it to run big and it was longer on me then the model. I'm 5'7. Lots of hip room - I'm narrow in the shoulders and even in a 0X the solders were still a titch on the sloppy side for me

Nothing but live for this top. I ripped the tags off and have worn it around the house the last two nights. The color is a dusty rose. This is perfect for my pencil skirt dress down project.

Wit and wisdom jeans fit my curvy shape perfect. I will be honest they have a fair amount of stretch and the fabric is slightly thin. I don't see them lasting as long as other jeans before the reality of me rubbing out the inner thighs happens. I could be wrong. I bought my normal size

I did try on lucky jeans because they tend to not work for me.

Cant comment on slink

And i do not like NYDJ i find for the money that they dont wash well, shrink up and succumb to thigh rub quickly.

Jeans are a subject i could write a dissertation on for the curvy bottomed girl.

Every curvy girl needs to get these leggings. They are fab - substatial marterial, holds you in, no lumps and no bumps show. Not tight with the perfect amount of stretch. I talked 3 other women into buying these while in the dressing room. I tried on EF and thses and these were the better of the two the fabric felt better and had better stretch.

Every Nordstrom sale since I joined YLF (3 sales now) they have a black NYDJ pant the last two years it was ponte this year stretch twill. I always buy - usually i have to have the hem let out - this yesr they finally had a decent inseam length.

The vince Camutos were magic. I have a rule if i try on a black pair of pants and the waist fits and I don't have to tailor I buy them.

I honestly felt like i was in an alternate universe during this sale - no pants needed tailoring.
