Just wanted to introduce myself, I’m Nic. I posted a couple of replies earlier to Maris’s first post. I want to say that there are so many opportunities for women out there, opportunities worth seeking. We aim to please, here at DeluxeGrrl, and we hope we can be of service to other women out there who are much like ourselves. I want to start with a couple of suggestions of places where women who are big, bold and beautiful can shop. These stores not only are in many local malls (in larger cities) but they also offer a great selection in their online venues as well as catelogues.

Fashionable clothing for women greater than a size 14 can be found in many places, you just need to know the right places to look. You can find a great selection on sites such as Bare Necessities, JustMySize, and OverStock.

I’d like to share some of the places I like to shop. Not only can you find amazing clothing, but they’re in style, cut to fit different shapes and sizes, and they have a very appealing selection to choose from. I absolutely *love* Lane Bryant’s, Catherine’s, and The Avenue (in addition to my previously mentioned Frederick’s of Hollywood.) There are other stores that offer a wide selection of clothing for larger women, such as Roman’s, I get their catelogue delivered to my house.

These stores not only cater to real women, they offer a varied selection for women of all ages, including teens. It doesnt matter if you’re tall or not, they provide a place for real women to shop for apparel, whether its business or casual, from poolwear to winterwear. I commend these businesses for appreciating women for who they are, not what society thinks they should look like.
