    Found clothes that work!

    I have a heck of a time finding clothes (everyday clothes) that will fit a "women's" body. Last summer I found a brand at REI (my Nordstrom) called Aventura, bought a cute skirt...and it fit great and comfy. Over the winter I found a vest I liked, happened to be the same brand. This summer I went to the big sale a few weeks ago and found the same skirt in a different pattern still fit great. Tried on a pair of their capris...fit great and comfy!
    Super cute stuff, get compliments all the time on them and they fit great!

    I think they are a branch of Sportif. Anyways I have a heck of a time finding clothes that are cute and can fit my big childbearing hips with out making them the focal point. I usually wear a 10/12 and can fit into a 10 just fine in these.
    Hope this helps some lost clothing soul out there... I know I am lost most of the time. -Nic

    I just had to buy pants for my new job. I have a hard time finding chinos or twills that don't make me look like I have even bigger hips and thighs than I already do.

    Went to Coldwater Creek in desperation (I need GROWN UP pants, not "see the top of my thong underwear" teenager pants!) and found their "Aspen" chinos fit nicely. Not too gappy at the waist, cover my underwear (but still below my belly button), and roomy enough at the hips. Spandex in the fabric, too.

    Hey, I like these! I'm not sure how many of these will fit me since I normally take petite sizes, but I'll definitely have a look - this is my style of clothing for sure. Thanks for the pointer!

    Wow, nice site, I really like their skorts! I to have a problem trying to find clothes that fit right, with a small waist and fuller hips it's awful. Thank you for the link, I've already ordered a few things!

    cute!!!

    Has anyone ordered/bought one of their dresses? I really need dresses for summer, along with shirts. I'm tall so shirts tend to expose more than I want midriff-wise and dresses can be fairly short.

    I'm at that awkward stage where I'm too old for "teen/young adult" clothes (and they are starting to not fit well anyway) and too young to be matronly. It's a difficult task to find clothes sometimes!
