I went online and found some cute things at Blair.com. I checked out their sizing charts and also those at a couple of other stores. According to the measurements, I am still wearing the same size. What a disappointment!
However, my jeans are hanging loose. Certain shirts that were hugging my belly are now hanging loose, straight down like they should.
Perhaps the problem is not that I have not lost a size, but that I was wearing the previous size too tight? It's just numbers, anyway, but if I am going to get something new, I so wanted to have it be a smaller size than everything else I have.
I think I need to drop in at a couple of local stores and try things on, just to see how sizes actually fit. Measurements don't always tell the whole story. I looked at things at Dress Barn, but almost all their dresses are sleeveless, so I did not try anything on. I was going to go to Cato, but I did not see anything online I like, and it's about a 45 minute drive to get there, so I am holding off on that one.
My daughter-in-law says "Blair" is "Blah" but they actually have some cute things this year, and they have things with sleeves! Maybe it's a rant for another day, but why do manufacturers think so many women want bare arms? Especially plus size women? I think it's far more attractive to cover up my arms and armpits!

| This is a pretty skirt, in spite of the paisleys. |
 |
| My husband likes this one, but I'm not so sure. It's kind of a crinkly fabric. |
 |
| Not wild about the dark blue splotches. Spiders? Handprints? Palm trees? |
 |
| I like this one. We both love the pink but my husband dislikes the hem. |
 |
| This one is pretty; I like the cut but not the color family used in it. |
 |
| We both like this one but I kind of wanted to get away from black. Maybe I can get a colorful blouse, and wear the shirt with other things. |
 |
| I might get this skirt set in the fall; I love it but definitely the wrong season. Maybe I'll go down a size by then! |
