Right now, I'm just looking, but I think I'd rather try on the dress before buying (which is why eBay isn't an option as much as I'd like it to be). At least, then I'll know if the style is right, I like the color on me, and the length is what I'm comfortable with.

I have no problems shopping online for casual stuff, though, because it's just not as important if things are perfect since all clothes are transitional for me right now (except for socks and shoes).

I love 3/4 length sleeves.

Oh, I'd love to find that, but not likely in a summer dress, unfortunately.

Looks like neither Macy's nor Nordstroms goes up to size 20.

I rather like this dress, although I wish the model's hair wasn't covering up the sleeves.

Kathy, where were you looking? Macy's does: [link] and Nordstrom's does: [link]

Or did you mean not in the brick-and-mortar stores?

YAY MAC!

And hee, Jesse, happy as I always am to encourage any budding hockey fan, I'm afraid Kat's Canucks are going to wipe the ice with the Bruins.

Silly me! I assumed "womens" in the category listing meant all of their womens clothes and then would be subdivided further into regular womens, plus sized, and petites. Guess not.

Thanks for the links, Steph! I'll be checking them out.

However, I really should be getting back to my five page paper that's due in, oh, 7 1/2 hours. I've got 2 paragraphs written so far. All the research is done; I just gotta crank it out. Archives in tne News--I'm doing my paper on the Yad Vashem/Google collaboration that was announced in January.

Gil Scott-Heron died. All I can say is: Damn. [link]

Or did you mean not in the brick-and-mortar stores?

They both carry larger sizes in the stores. Or at least they do here.

WooHoo, mac! And also, woohoo mom of mac!
