Put Away the Caftans!
Most plus size department and speciality stores will stop at 3X so that leaves anyone larger than that at a disadvantage clothes wise. It's hard to go out for a walk or otherwise participate in society when all you can find in your size is a pretty tent.
This lens provides a listing of supersize (for lack of a better term) clothing for women. If you know of a great shop please contact me through the link to the right and I'll check it out.
