What do you bring back?

[ERICS MUM]

Linda, I am also on the larger size, are there any shops you would recommend?

My favourite is AVENUE, which is at the Florida Mall Terrace, behind FM itself, opposite TARGET. Sizes 14/16 to 30/32. I like their trousers as most styles come in petit, average and tall lengths. Good quality fabric, upto date colours, love their chunky watches. Good sales/offers.

Also, LANE BRYANT, who have a branch inside Florida Mall. Simialr to AVENUE, bit younger fashions (I am pushing 50)

You could also try Catherine's, which was recommended to me on another forum but I have not tried it yet.

Dress Barn have a seperate shop, Dress Barn for Women, with a good range. Try the branch at Premium Outlet Mall.

There used to to be a Liz Claiborne shop for larger sizes in Mall 1 at Belz. I cannot remember what its called, and given the current changes I dont know if it is still there.

Finally you could try JC Penney - many of their womens fashion ranges are also available in "Womens" sizes, especially nice range of cotton trousers, or in winter nice Xmas outfits. They also do nice lingerie for cuddly ladies!


If it was not for these shops i would look like a bag-lady, I find it so difficult to find nice things to wear in UK shops.

Happy shopping!!!


Linda aw:

from the US in general - DVDs, toiletries, shoes for everyone, bathing suits for everyone, underwear for everyone, fun clothes for the kids from stores like hot topics and steve & barry's, sheets (extra long twin size for the kids beds and king size for our bed), comforters, duvets, towels (usually from costco), clothes for my husband (he's 6'7" with a 39inch sleeve and a 36 inch trouser inseam-- we have to shop for him in the tall man shops, of which there are very few),
oh and books and books and books....we spend lots of time in Borders and Barnes & Noble and usually have to have a suitcase just for books....

We arrived home friday morning and bought back mostly shoes, trainers and clothes for both DS (although could not get Dunlop Green flash shoes anywhere - DS needs them for school PE, very strick church school, needed in size 12/13), but especially for the eldest who is 6'3" at 13 years old and has a 12 - 13 (uk) in a shoe, got some great Hush Puppie shoes at the Orlando Premium Outlet in narrow width fitting for him for school at about £20!!!, Reebok trainers for DS (9) at $20!!!! a pair. xmas pressies, videos (they work in our tellyvideo that we bought at Argos), DVD's CD's Gameboy DS (although they were only marginally cheaper than here) gameboy games and I could go on and on and on. But 3 bottles of pancake syrup where a definate must.

Just remembered - we brought back a couple of good quality canvas folding chairs from Bass Pro Outdoor Shop at Festival Bay. They cost an amazing $5 each! Too good a bargain to miss. At that price we took the risk of them taking us over the weight limit on the return journey - but our cases didn't get weighed - yeh!!!
