I have my friends bachelorette party at the Borgata next month and I wanted to get a cute dress to wear

All the websites I am looking on where you girls got your cute dresses (BCBG, Guess, Bebe) stop at like a size 9.

I wear a 12 or 14 usually and I'm not seeing anything in my size Just a little discouraged. I've come to terms that I'm not super skinny and I'm happy with myself - I just get discouraged when this happens.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to look? I didn't see anything fun on the Macy's website.

I wish I could help, but I'm a size 0, and I have NOOOO cellulite at all. I just take a sock, and cut the toe off, and use that as a dress most of the time, thats how skinny I am.

We've seen you practically naked So we know how skinny you are haha.

You should have worn the tube sock for your b-pics, that would have been hot.

Coleen, there is a store my sister got a cute dress at a while ago called Alight. It's on Old Country Rd in Plainview, in a shopping center with a shoprite in it, near the hospital and the SOB. Check it out. They are online too.

if you are a 12 or a 14 i think a plus size store might be to big for you!

Thats my problem - I AM inbetween regular stores and plus sized stores. Depending on how the clothes fit (and how big the bust is) I'm other in a 12 or a 14, which usually makes the difference.

Its a little rough.

Re: I hate being chubby - anyone wanna help me find a dress?

I always have issues finding dresses because I'm top heavy and need them to support my boobs. I'm also short waisted so that doesn't help. I have to buy a size bigger and petite because of my stature.

I usually go to Loehmann's and I'd say I find great stuff 95%. The deals are good too.

By the way.....12 & 14 are not plus sizes!! They're actually average sizes.

i love newport-news....actually FMIL took me to JCP and there were some cute dresses. would probably be easier if you went to the stores vs online. good luck!

Re: I hate being chubby - anyone wanna help me find a dress?

It s*cks being in between..I'm a 12 or a 14 with big boobies..so dresses is hard!!

Plus size is always too big and the regular stores don't usually fit!!

NY&Co usually has cute stuff
JCPenney has adorable things
Limited
Old Navy
