This kind of makes me wish I was plus-sized

Very cute dresses all made in San Francisco, CA.

Reading the post earlier about Wal-Mart prompted me to search for clothes (among other things) still made in the USA.

Don't hurt me but I bought two tops today that were made in Indonesia.

2. Pricey though, and clingy stuff like that you gotta wear some serious foundation garments. But yeah,
if I was in the market for a nice dress and had the money to spend, I would definitely take a closer look at some of those clothes.

4. They're definitely pricey
but while driving home listening to National Propaganda Radio (I've since cut them out of my commute), they had a report on the plus-sized female shopper and how she's willing to pay more for good fashionable clothing.

When I was a bit bigger, I loved Torrid.

5. Torrid has really nice dressing rooms
even those who aren't plus size will find things they will like there.

I agree their dressing rooms are nice.

The whole store is nice.

7. I'm embarrassed to tell you but..........
Family Dollar has a really nice selection of trendy, fashionable plus-sized tops for women. Their plus-sized tops look like those featured at Torrid but for a lot less money. :blush:

8. No need to be embarassed.
I haven't been in a Family Dollar in a while. I never did pay much attention to their clothing section.
