How to use this group

Examples of great posts:

- wonderful plus size retro items you have found, be they overthings, underthings, and any other item that comes in plus sizes.

- asking where to find items that are often difficult to find in larger sizes, like hosiery, bras, etc.

- questions about the fit of items and which are more accommodating for certain measurements.

- pictures and posts that are body positive. Had a great shoot where you felt curvy and fabulous? Feel free to share!

Please be mindful that:

- all bodies are good bodies, please no body-shaming of others or even your own.

- even if someone is "not fat" or "not plus size" to you, doesn't mean they don't find that plus size clothing works best for them.

- We always want to help out people who are at any end of the plus size spectrum. Straight sizing often ends at an XL or a 16, so finds in 18/3x and up are always welcome to many members.

Comment by Anna Marie Burchwell on July 2, 2012 at 6:50pm: Hope everyone is having a splendid day!

Comment by sandy francis on July 2, 2012 at 7:27pm: has anyone plus sized (2x) tried/worn/own the Evelyn Dress? my bust is 47-49 and am wondering if it would fit, or if it would be too tight? I find my favorite dresses are the Heidi, The Netti and the Lana.

Comment by Kate Rose on July 3, 2012 at 9:39am: Hi Sandy! It's easier to reply to questions like yours when they're posted to the discussion forum section. Feel free to repost your question there so we can help you out.

Comment by Alicia W on July 8, 2012 at 9:45am: Just an FYI:

I'm starting a discussion for anyone interested in improving our voluptuous selves through exercise and diet. There is ALREADY an awesome forum The Pinup Girls guide to Exercise and Nutritional Plans but I think THIS group's contingency would be super great at building the discussion there.

THANKS!

Comment by Joanne Opazo on March 15, 2013 at 12:36am: I have always been very curvy. I love that so many styles of PUG clothing flatter my figure. I just got rebra fitted at Lane Bryant I found out to be a 38DD. They were so helpful there and sexier then VS.When I went into other plus stores I would be treated not well due to not being a size28.so now I can find skirts or capris to go with some tops that can be more of a daily wear. As much as I love a dress everyday, I'd like to be active more with my daughter. Any plus size pinup from PA here?

Comment by Jill McCormick on May 3, 2013 at 1:28pm: Hi, Mrgan, Do you only wear PUG or are you also a vintage wearer?

Comment by Jill McCormick on May 3, 2013 at 2:08pm: IndeedI do! I sell vintage for a living so do have quite a selection (hope that's okay to say here,lol?!) For the detective look, I would of course, do pin curls with a side barette, a WWII simple dress in a bolder color like a red belted dress OR a 40s or 30s suit. Ah now, for the parlor, nothing will do but a 1930s full length Summer party dress with a soft floral print! Oh how I DO love my vintage, hehehehe!
