I second the PP comments about Catherine's coupons, and for online coupons, always, always, check retailmenot for the best discount codes. I think the selection at Catherine's varies tremendously from Store to Store, and some are mainly dowdy styles, while others carry fresh, younger looking styles, so don't write them off. You also can use a Lane Bryant charge card at Catherines and rack up points, for your free reward checks. You mentioned Dress Barn not having your size, but they do have a Dress Barn Plus shop in some areas that go to at least a 24. (still not big enough for me lol). I also buy a lot of my clothes on Ebay and find lots of stuff NWT very cheap. Since sizes vary so much, I always check for measurements and if they aren't displayed, write and ask them to measure for me. If you have brands you know fit, you can limit your search to them on Ebay. I am a bargain shopper, but I have occasionally paid $40+ on Ebay for a We Be Bop blouse, in the crinkle rayon, which I really love.
