Hi fatshionistas! My name is Orchid, and I've been lurking here for a while now but haven't posted yet because my wardrobe is...well...fail. I'm working on it, but my shape is kind of hard to deal with. At 5'4" and something like 260 pounds with a bust measurement around 52" the fact that I am the owner of a pair of b-cup boobies makes it

For performance wear, are you looking for a bedlah? Skirts and pantaloons? Cholis? Hip scarves? All of the above? I'm a tribal girl, so I can't really help you on the plus sized bedlah option, but for everything else, L. Rose Designs and SharifWear go up to larger sizes. If you have a sewing machine or know someone who does, though, pantaloons and circle skirts are totally easy to do on your own.
Ebay and Bhuz.com are great resources too-- worth keeping an eye out on both of them.

I don't really know what I'm looking for, which is what makes it so hard. *eyeroll at self* I'm mostly just looking for inspiration, I guess. ...and as I type that I just realized I never tried looking on Pinterest, hmm. But anyway, yeah. All of the above, mostly. I've been thinking of wearing a choli with a cami underneath and a hip scarf for class but that's basically replacing my current deep v-neck t-shirt and cami with a choli and cami. Boooring! I do love to sew though so when I finally figure out what it is I'm looking for I'll be able to make it.

ON is not good with consistent sizing either, as I ordered XL long pants in black and gray and the black was way shorter than the gray yet the tags both said XL long.
Sometimes I can fit in the XL tops, but usually I prefer to size up as I need room for the boobs.

Wow, fail. Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm glad to hear about the PJ pants because I've got my eye on them, too.
