rene194215 Posted August 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have looked at JC Penny, Macy's Debs Old Navy Torrid. I am looking for some things for my upcoming cruise and I do not want to spend a fortune! I have swimsuites and coverups I am more so looking for tops for dinner. Nothing super fancy just things I can wear with capries. (Oh I have even tried EBay) Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted August 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Many stores that don't sell plus sizes do have plus online. Kohls. Talbots. Sierra Trading Post. Chicos. JJill. All the department stores as well as their "outlet" (so, Nordstrom & Nordstrom Rack, Saks & Off Fifth, Neiman Marcus & Last Call, etc) If you're younger, Forever21. eshakti.com; modcloth.com.

Kamloops50 Posted August 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You can also check NyGard/Alia and Pennington mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truffle Posted August 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Try dillards.com, belk.com, lordandtaylor.com, saks.com (they have good sales). I have found the online sites seem to have more variety than the stores themselves and you can return items easily to the retail stores if there is one in your area and they never give you a problem. Also, check out chicos.com and nordstroms.com (also good sales.) I always find a lot of things at Macy's online. I don't know when your cruise is scheduled but I'm sure that you will begin to see more fancy tops the closer we get to the holidays. If you live close to an outlet mall you can often find things there as well. Have fun shopping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted August 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Another vote for Belks. They always have sales, and have wonderful tops, several of which I own. I love them. Haven't had any luck on the website, I go to the mall. Plenty of choices, and size ranges enough for anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Chew Posted August 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Woman Within Roaman's Both good online sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirenitas Posted August 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Not a typical retail store but lately I have been seeing ads for this site - http://closet.gwynniebee.com/pages/the-fabulous-life and they have some really cute things!

auntjoy036 Posted August 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I like qvc.com. Their Susan Graver line has lots of nice tops in solids or prints. The fabrics fold down to nothing to pack. The Quacker Factory line has bling, a little or a lot. Another bonus, qvc does not charge extra for plus sizes. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted August 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Denim and Company on QVC has moderately priced casual clothing. What I have ordered from them has been generously sized and well made. You don't have to watch QVC to see the items. Just go to QVC.com and click on Denim and Co.

auntjoy036 Posted August 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I agree with Gangway Style. Denim & Co. is another good qvc brand. I have lots of their cotton/spandex knit shirts. They launder and hold up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted August 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Dress Barn has some nice tops and I agree with the QVC suggestion too:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abklyngirl Posted August 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I get most of my clothes from Woman Within, One Stop, The avenue and lane Bryant. They usually have pretty good selections....enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirlejfan Posted August 21, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Dress Barn, Lane Bryant, SimplyBe and my new favorite, Ebay! I just got a wonderful travel knit dress on Ebay that fits beautifully! Adding two pashminas to my bag and we will be good to go! I caught some cute things on the Nordstrom site as they are clearing items out for the season. No, they aren't cheap, but they do stand behind the items they sell.

FawnRiver Posted August 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Addition Elle and Penningtons both have websites and will ship to the US. They both also do frequent sales and have lots of variety for tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HistoryGirl4Ever Posted August 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I usually shop Avenue and Lane Bryant (which is NOT the Lane Bryant of my grandmother's times when the idea of plus size fashion was a new color mu-mu :eek:). Also check out Kohl's online (as I think someone else mentioned); Macy's (I bought a lovely high-low dress to wear to a performance of Phantom of the Opera this past spring, and I'll probably bring it on my upcoming cruise); a website I ran across called ELOQUII which is very modern and up-to-date in their plus-size fashions. Check Pinterest too if you have an account -- there are loads of Pins for plus size cruise fashions so that'll give you a head's up on other sites, especially swimwear. Just put what you're looking for in the search engine. Hope these help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calliopecruiser Posted August 24, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Don't forget LL Bean - basic styles, but good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene194215 Posted August 25, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thank you all for the suggestions! I have found a lot out there!!! Really nice sites!! Now all I really need to find is a nice coverup. I apparently threw mine away last year for some very odd reason? :rolleyes: So Now I am on the hunt. I have found some thought that ate like $40+. Thats a bit much for me to spend but I will see what I can find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted August 26, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 26, 2014 My favorite cover ups are sarongs I buy cheap when I travel, and cotton sundresses from Lands End (many on clearance now!) They run big, when I was ~sz18 the XL was still big on me (though they sell plus sizes as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Moon Posted August 27, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 27, 2014 My new favorite store is CJ Banks (plus size) For smaller sizes, there is sister store Christopher Banks. Decent sales at the regular stores and online :). Even better prices at their outlet stores :cool:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PomSaysOm Posted August 27, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Tons of great suggestions, I had forgotten about some of these places! I do most of my shopping at Kohl's, Maurice's, Dressbarn, and Burke's Outlet. I have found Silver Jeans (typically one hundred dollars or more, but excellent quality and fit me really well) for forty dollars at Burke's. I just recently (like Sunday) discovered that Forever 21 has plus sizes. I was pleasantly surprised and actually bought a really cute top there. I'm also a big fan of hitting up the 50% off sales at Goodwill. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welove2cruise2014 Posted August 27, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I actually bought a super cute striped Vera Wang "nightgown" at Kohls, for the purpose of wearing it as a cover up!! It is super cute, soft, comfy, and love how it fits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
