Help I’ve gained 30lbs
Since December, lots of stressors etc
And let’s call it what it is
I LOVE FOOD
I know I need to lose this extra weight, plus what I needed to lose from before

I keep ordering on-line and returning
I just don’t know how to shop on line

When I go to stores I have better luck
I can see the fabric thecut, try it on, etc.

Can someone give me a hand and help me find something on- line

I need Shabbat dresses -
must be opaque long sleeves. The sleeves on shells bother me

must be light weight, I live in NMB and I get too hot

must be non iron material and easy to wash
NO COTTON - I know it’s breathable but I can’t iron and when I do it doesn’t look as crisp

must be slimming I want to look and feel pretty and put together

I’m 5 foot tall 175lbs
I’m guessing a size 18, 16 if it’s a big loose cut

Now I’m wearing house robes all day because I have absolutely nothing that fits

I also need dressy tops and 2 basic skirts

What is your shape?

Crinkle cotton might be good for you. No ironing and it breathes.

I use to do well with shirt dress styles
Loose fitting straight , NOT SWING,
I’m curvy so it looks nice in a crepe material
I have a few like this and wish I could get them 2 sizes bigger
Long sleeve shirt dress with collar

But I’m really open to anything as long as I feel pretty in it

I tried it once
I wasn’t impressed with the quality
Also, I’m really planning to get this weight off
Not interested in spending too much
No more than $50/$60 per dress.
If I can find less great.
I use to do very good in Burlington and Ross
But they don’t have on - line stores.
Also it needs to have a no hassle return policy so I think my best bet are the big box stores

How about this? If not, the website has some nice dresses. Some are very oldfashioned, but there are some very classic things, and they are cut for people who have curves.

I’m looking for more these type of dresses but in my size
https://www.junees.com/search?q=dress

Problem is I’m in between xL and plus size
Plus size, like Avenue, is HUGE on me
So I need to find a brand that runs a little bigger

I looked at the sight
Really nice stuff, but
Everything is very dark colors
And they don’t accept returns

Try these plus size online stores:

https://www.catherines.com/
https://www.ullapopken.com/
https://appleseeds.blair.com/
https://www.jessicalondon.com/

About the ironing: try Downy Wrinkle Releaser spray instead of ironing. You just shpritz your clothes, shake gently, and hang them up to dry, and the wrinkles come out within a few minutes. It’s amazing. You’ll never iron again. You can buy it on Amazon.
