I also own a Penache sports bra (goes up to a size H) which I love and recommend
Check out the barenecessities website for a good selection of sports bras in larger sizes (there’s quite a...

yale-girl asked: Hi there! I try to know everything I can about what's going in the fashion/style universe, but I'm afraid plus size clothing is really a blind spot of mine (probably due to how marginalized it is). But I was wondering-- do you know some good retailers of suits for plus size women? Price is no object. I'm especially interested in more masculine of center styles. My friend asked me...

Anonymous asked: So for a while, I thought your tattoo was a red converse sneaker, but now it has become apparent that it is indeed a t bone steak. Haha, does it have something written on it though?
whitehotcenter asked: So I'm looking for a dress I can wear to a work holiday party and also to a friend's wedding. My problem area are my arms - I feel like they are so disproportionate to the rest of my body. I'm 5'2", 187 lbs and wear a size 14 most of the time, but a 16 when my arms won't fit into the sleeve :( What dress styles do you think might work for me?

Question: Where to buy plus size clothes over...
Where to buy plus size clothes over size 20
eShakti - this online retailer makes adorable dresses/skirts/shirts and accessories up to size 26W. In addition to this sizing, they also offer custom sizing for their items (including alterations on sleeves, hem length, bust size, etc).
Forever 21+ - I really love shopping in store as their selection is much larger, but they have online shop too....
