ETA: Coldwater Creek's 1X goes to a bust 45 and the 2X starts at a Bust 47. I am a Bust 46!?!?!
Sophia, do a 2X, then, unless it's a knit item (sweater, knit tee, etc.). Well, if it's knit and you want it loose, also do 2X.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I see. I was reading a Manolo blog which listed all sorts of after X-mas sales, including Coldwater Creek (and Talbots!)
Apparantly, my size does not exist at Coldwater Creek, though.

When I fall in between, I always go up, unless I know for sure how a store's clothes fit. I think you and I wear about the same size, and I almost always go 2X for tops at Coldwater Creek. (One very baggy sweater notwithstanding, and I was too lazy to return it, so I just shrunk it in the dryer and wear it when I want comfy and loose clothes.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'll have to check out the Coldwater Creek sale. Thanks for the heads up, Steph.
This NYE I'm throwing a party. So far one person's said "yes" on the Evite page, although a couple of others have said they're coming. I seem to recall that last year was kind of similar. So it could be three of us (and 4 bottles of prosecco—wee!) or it could be 40.

“Not dead yet!”
I got lucky at Lucky Denim outlet the other day and scored a pair of my One True Jeans.
And today produced one more deep, deep discount bargain.
I call it my Betty Draper dress
With just a touch of Joan.
Now if that's not inspiration to get working on the arm machines at the community center, I don't know what is.

Oooh, Barb, I love the back on that dress!

2X it is! I really want this wrap shirt [link]
I was really into them the last time around, but at that time (2000ish) I was literally 8 sizes smaller. I don't really mourn the size, but I want that red silk dupioni wrap shirt in my size for an affordable price!

Coldwater Creek would usually have one velvety, semi-Victorian looking jacket each year. I see they've abandoned that style this year, which means there's nothing I want to get from them.
(And I really don't need any more jackets. I know.)
For NYE, we're going to the annual party thrown by people we know from the gaming/comic industry. It's always a lot of fun.

“Not dead yet!”
I am a total WHORE for bare backs on dresses.
Add to that the ballet neckline on the front and the watercolor shades in the abstract design, all of which I love, but none of which I can wear as a solid color and I was pretty much a goner.

I almost bought that! I like it a LOT.
