Canada's plus size clothing sucks really bad, the selection.
Forever 21, we're almost about the same size and it DEPENDS on the cut and fabric of the garment, I can fit almost always size Large on F21, occasionally when it has buttons or it's silk or a non-stretchy fabric I may need an XL or a XXL. I fit F21's leggings size large comfortably.
If it's an empire waist and stretchy, it's almost guaranteed you might fit in their garments.

Old Navy is kind of vanity sizing, you could fit their large or XL with ease, imho. Gap is the same. I could fit my arms comfortably in their jackets.

If you've been to Ailes de la Mode / Fairweather they have garments that may fit you at the top. I've had luck fitting shorts at a size XL there, so...

All in all... the above don't really have true to size. There's some stretch and give.

Yeah. Actually, a lot of stores you could probably squeeze into. I found luck at SmartSet for basics. They have good sales too!

I feel the European pain. I was crazy enough to use a shipping service in the USA. I had to send it to be shipped there, and I had to drive an hour and a half to drive down there and pay crazy customs fees. ($60 in fees alone, holy crap.) It was worth it but my wallet screams, "NO!" Haha.

I'm confused by your response, because the forever 21 line doesn't go above a L.

The Faith 21 Line is XL, 1X, 2X and 3X

When I refer to F21, I refer to Faith 21 because they are the same store.

right, but the sizing you're talking about isn't matching up to the sizing that Faith 21 uses.

Sorry about that. I figured it's not hard to figure out that XXL would be equivalent to a 2X. :b

right, but XXL is actually used as a straight size at a lot of places that also carry 2XL (as a plus size) and they are cut totally differently.
