if you want to look skinnier sit and stand up straight. always hold your head up.also if you are overweight dont wear baggy shirts, it just makes you look bigger. wear shirts that go just below your waist. also wear pants that arent too lose but make sure they aren't too tight either. *Good Luck*

Try walking every day and night. At least 2 times a day. And a good place to shop for bigger clothes sizes (if you are into punk clothes) is Torrid. They have lots of clothes. Peace out.

I know exactly how you feel. I don't know if you have Old Navy, but if you do, they have extended sizes for jeans. If you're an internet shopper, u might want to check out gap.com and/or ae.com. Hope I helped. Good luck!

hey, ive got the same problem. i have a small waist, and i am very tall (5'7), but my chest is a D. it always makes me look bigger then i am, and it sucks. But, if you buy shirts that are solid, it will make your chest look way smaller. Hope i helped at least a little!

Hey Girl! When I put on bakinis my stomach sticks out. When you go shopping try on tankinis, there like bikinis but they go lower. I just bought a tankini yesterday and I look skinny in it! Hope this helps!

well it depends if your ok with your body, but if your not, then a bikini isnt the thing for you, do crunches, cardio, drink water, and eat right, and u'll ne on ur way

I am overweight just like you. I am 5'7'' and I weigh 200 pounds. I have found that gap.com has more sizes online for their jeans. Old Navy also has bigger sizes in their stores and online for jeans and shirts.(Almost all of my shirts are from Old Navy!)

I am about 200 pounds. I hate it when I can't find clothes that "regular" girls wear. Especially jeans! I have recently found that Gap.com has womens' sizes 0-20 exclusively online. They have boot-cut, flare, and straight legged jeans. They even have different lengths you can choose from; x-short, ankle, regular, and long. I just wanted to share this to all who have trouble finding jeans.

Hi,
There are some stores that have "our" sizes, with really cool clothes too. The one I go to is Cato. It has plus sies and teen clothes. It's nice, but kinda expensive. It's worth it though.

If you want 15/16 sizes try JcPenny's, you can order off the internet and pick up your order at the store.

Reply From Ashley, Age 12 - 02/11/01   show message replied to go to original board
Try Macy's, Lord & Taylors, or JC Penny's
