Since I had DD I have gained a few pounds. I literally cannot find clothes that fit me. I thought I was a plus size but only on the bottom and only in a few stores. I ordered a dress from Old Navy online in a 1x and it was enormous on me. I have a big butt and hips. I'm like a 16 pants size and a medium top. Sometimes a small top depending on where. I'm so made because I need to find something to wear for Christmas and DD's birthday which is inexpensive. I also have the lovely "mom pouch" we call it. Some call it a muffin top. I need some spanx. So basically I am on the top end of regular clothes for my bottom and to small for plus sized clothes. It is very annoying. I just want to yell at my body to decide do you want to be skinny or fluffy!!!! Pick one!!!!!
I am also hard to fit..My tummy is big..Most bottoms the waist is ten inches smaller than the hips...My tummy and hips are the same size..lol..so I either have to sqeeeeeeeeeeze the waist to button...or I end up with HUGE hips that make me look like a clown!!!!

Haha.
Kind of, but different from you. I have a small waist and a small torso but I wear a 34F. Most stores do not make a size 34F bra. They go up to a 34DD and the next size they have is 36F, which does not fit me right.
If I buy blouses, I can barely fit them over my boobs, but they hang off of me everywhere else.
Same with pants, I have big hips, a big butt and right now, a mommy pouch. So I buy pants that actually fit around my hips and stomach but I have several inches of extra fabric around my thighs, knees and crotch. Super annoying.
The only place i can get jeans that fit is Lane Bryant,Mostof the tops are too big but they have the best fit in jeans for me.
Yes! I'm a 38F or 40DDD bra, so in dresses I might wear an 18/20, but in jeans I'm a 14 or 16. It's always been this way...even when I was much thinner, I was still a 10 in dresses and a 7/8 in jeans, etc...
my cousin is like an A cup on top. She wears an XXS on top and a 10 on the bottom. She has to have all her clothing altered. I can't afford a tailor. My good friend has size 38G boobs. All her bra's have to be custom made. If she didn't have those boobs she would probably be a size 12. *sigh* I'm glad I'm not alone.
well for the mom pooch i bought this tummy control underwear from target for 12 bucks..they have some at wal mart too that will get me threw until i can afford the spanx...it controls the muffin top too lol. as far as tops, go for the ones that are form fitting at the boobs with a gathering underneath..this causes it to flow down from there and conceals other flaws.

Depends on where you shop I guess as to how any type of clothing fits . In some stores I wear bigger than in others I guess its the material the clothing is made out of and if the store re sizes them. I hate that though not that I am just a cow I can be a bigger heffer in other stores which makes me freak out and think omg did I gain weight again hahaha.
I tried tops like that, the cling to my hips and make me look like I'm pregnant. I think they are pretty just not on me. Maxi dresses are also bad on me. I feel like you have to be really tiny to pull those off. Loved them when I was pregnant though. I will look for the underwear. It just hangs there no matter how many crunches I do. Can I just cut it off? lol
