Plus Size ?

What is classed as a plus size in the usa ? Im a size 18 and am starting to get a bit of room in my trousers lol but I know I wont make it down to a 16 before we go well ever :blush:

A lot of our stores will go to 16-18 as a standard. The department stores will have "Women's" departments that will start at 14W. This is sometimes a better cut for fuller figures as it isn't a skinny cut. Places like Target and Walmart will also have individual departments for these sizes.

Some places will have everything together. For example 14P (petite), 14 (Average), 14W (Women's) all on one display. Other places will have them in separate areas of the shop.

If in doubt just ask a clerk.

I'm a similar size and went shopping in New York a couple of weeks ago. I found that I was mainly a size 16 in regular stores which they nearly all do. This size is also an overlap size and the smallest plus sizes 14W also fit me.

Thanks for this. I will have a look at a few of the stores on line to see what I like.
