I am 59 years old and recovering from a 20+ year eating disorder. So….I’ve gained weight and am feeling like, you guessed it, Aunt Bee! I’m only 5’3″ and am apple shaped. Any ideas where I can buy attractive and NON-MATRONLY clothing for a size 14/16? I’ve spent too much time looking at plus sized clothing geared for a teenager. I’m not into showing cleavage, thank you very much.
Dear Aunt Bee,
Try OneStopPlus. They have some really pretty clothing and links to a variety of specialty sites that will give you a great selection of clothing, although size 14/16 is still considered a Misses size. Good luck with your search.
Kohls’ has a wonderful plus size section.

If there’s a Christopher & Banks near you give them a try. Their clothes are not matronly, but also not for teeny boppers. I wear 12-14 and always find lots of cute things there.
Not sure where you are at, but in Canada, we have Mark’s Work Warehouse.. most people think its for men & safety boots, but they have lots of nice clothing… not “teeny bopper” style, but I’m 53 and think its great.. as WELLLL a Large is a Large and they have XL.. which is generally what i wear…. Good Luck
