hmmmm... i'm a 14 -- sometimes 16 and rarely an 18 - i normally go for dresses that are a-;ine and hit me right at the knee since i'm super short too
target, nordstrom, kohls, i look everywhere!
it's wierd, but stuff at lane bryant doesnt fit me right -- i think b/c i'm so short and all my fat is in my belly area... so if i pulled a plus size pair of jeans - i am swimming in them everywhere else b/c i'm only fat in my beer and wings
tummy hahahahaa
so my butt and my thighs are much much smaller - i look so wierd! hahaha
so for now - i just go for XL and i look for matte jersey dresses, jeans with lycra in them, etc...
old navy tends to fit as well =)
