I'm short - only about 5 feet tall. I have a few extra pounds and usually wear a size 8. I'm also have a large chest and am 51 years old. The style of clothes on sites like BloomChic look best on me. They have flattering cuts for mature folks with a few extra pounds, are stylish, and don't cause issues with things being too low cut or not working with a larger chest. BTW, I tried ordering something from BloomChic in their smallest size (size 10), and it was way too big.
The problem is that because I'm also short, I don't fall into what is considered plus size. So I can't seem to find anything in similar styles in my size. Does anyone have any suggestions of stores that have similar styles but in more size options?
I am looking for a dress for a specific event. I absolutely LOVE this dress from BloomChic, but it was way too big. I can find a million similar dresses online, and I've ordered and returned about 6 of them already. And every, single one of them was way too low cut on me - like wouldn't even be able to wear a bra. None of them were that low cut on the model. I am totally OK with having a dress altered, but the v-neck can't really be altered to make it higher (I've asked).
Sounds like separates are your friends. Have you tried looking on www.temu.com ? Just for the heck of it, I looked up a pair of their jeans, and the jeans start at small, size 4 up to size 14. (I just looked up one style, one pair of jeans) But they also have plus size tops. And they also have lots of dresses.

Yeah. I don't voluntarily buy any button-up shirts, but had to wear one for work. The buttons wouldn't meet of course, so I had a camisole under and left the top few buttons open. Much more comfortable and looked better.
Fashion is a real struggle for the top-heavy among us. It's made me loathe shopping.
