Default Orlando Oversize Shops

Hi,
Going to Orlando on vacation in April 2004. Can anybody recommend, shops where you can get outsize ladies clothes and underwear UK size 28-30 (don't know what the equivalent US size is - sorry).
Thanks in advance.

I think there shouldn't be too much difficulty finding clothes for your size. For that kind of size, I think it would be known by the label, "woman" (or maybe "plus size"). There's also petite, junior, missy as well but these are for small women.

I tried to find out what your US size equivalent would be. Not knowing your exact dimensions, I would suggest you look at some of the sites listed on this page.

http://buckworks.com/apparel-plus-size.html

I found this by doing a search on Google by searching by the words: "plus size" clothing

You could do a similar search and find additional sites to identify your size and even find stores in Orlando.

The equivalent US size is 26/28 I believe, and Lane Bryant goes up to this size. My mother has been buying clothes there when she has been coming over and they are certainly cheaper than the English stores - I would say it is fairly similar to Evans in the UK (but perhaps not as fashionable as they don't have an equivalent to the seven range for instance). I am not sure if they have a store in Orlando but they do have a website you can check out.

Lane Bryant

Smile plus size clothes

Hi there,I'm a 'big gal' myself,unfortunately,but I find it much easier to buy 'nice' clothes over here than I ever did in the UK,I'm not too keen on the Lane Bryant stores,but the catalogue is great!,has really nice clothes(www.lbcatalog.com),as does Roamans(www.roamans.com),I really like the quality as well.
Another place to look is 'walmart'they have some nice things as well,I was in one of the 'walmart' stores in Orlando last year,they had a huge selsction.....good luck,hope you have a great vacation......Sophia(Illinois)
