I know that I've asked this a million times, but...?

Okay, so I've tried Torrid, Old Navy, Lane Bryant and a lot of other plus size stores for my teenage friend! She does NOT like all of them! She's trying to find clothes that are like from preppy places that aren't too expensive. She wears a size 17-18 and she can't fit in American Eagle jeans. Where should she go? Please supply a link! I've tried Google, EBay, shopping.com, Yahoo! and a lot of other places, but she doesn't like any of them. She's also punk, so it's even harder to mix punk w/ preppy. Got any ideas?I know that I've asked this a million times, but...?

okay i looked all over the net and this place seems like it would be a place to hopefully help her there are tons of sites here all types of clothing for anyone i feel bad beacuse there arent many for plus size teens and there should be but tell her good luck i hope she finds somethings she likesI know that I've asked this a million times, but...?
Gee, you're a good friend to help her out like this, but it's really not easy for a teen, especially if she has a certain look in mind. Most regular department stores have clothes that go to 3X, so she should have no trouble finding her size. It just will take a LOT of looking if she is so particular with what she wants. It's unfortunate, especially for teen girls, but sometimes at that size you just have to ';settle'; (been there). Another alternative, depending on her ';shape'; is men's clothes. Working dude kind of clothes like Dickie's are really in style, and those big work shirts paired with a camisole under look kewl.


As for her punkish ways, hey, in the late 70s, we wore black garbage bags and chains to a Sid Vicious memorial party. It don't have to be high class or priced to be punk - just a lot of imagination and creativity.
Try Torrid online, they have everything from club to prep. Depending on where your shopping I know that the Torrid in Arcadia, CA carries more preppy clothes, but the one in Brea, CA carries more punk. I asked the sales lady why it was that way and she says it differs from store to store depending on the demand. Generally Torrid online has it all. Hope this helps, good luck. P.S. HOTTOPIC.COM has better links to plus punk clothes.
Hmmm.... there's not much out there in that size, my sister has a really hard time as well. She needs to mix and match from the stores you mentioned. I am surprised she isn't into Torrid since she is gothic/punk. It's all about creating your own style and it may take some hard work and alot of store hopping but she can do it. There are alot more options than there once were.
You could try places like Hot Topic.....they probably have some plus sized clothing and you would be suprised at how cute the dresses are!
The best place i can recomend would be hot hopics, Macys, or the fashion bug. You should also try going to some malls around ur town/city and check out the cloths their.
If she wears a size 17-18 she should be able to find clothes in basically all normal stores. Check out some malls - they always have unique stores for people with a special taste.
Maybe a Tent and Awning place could make her some colorful stuff.
wow uhm well this is gonna sounds mean but she needs to start liking those clothes cuz there really isnt any other ones
