Hate Shopping? Vent your Frustrations Here

[Style Diva]

I would like to hear from women who hate to shop and have trouble finding clothes that fit their body. I am interested in knowing the most common fitting problems women of any size encounter and any solutions you would like to share.

I'll start with myself. My biggest problem is finding pants that fit. I'm a Petite 14 and I find that the designers I prefer don't carry a Petite line. I would love to know about any company or designer who carries a great Petite line of skinny jeans or jeggings with stretchability. Also, for those women who have a small waist with generous hips--what line have you found where you don't end up with a gap in the back of the waistband?

I would love to have this be an ongoing discussion, as I think there are a lot of frustrated shoppers who have great misgivings about finding anything that makes them feel beautiful. I hope to hear from a few of you and will share my problems, experiences and recommendations. I don't claim to have all of the answers, but I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

I've found a website called MyShape, which provides a way to match your
measurements with clothing that works for your shape and personal style
preferences. They use over 250 designers.

Some of us have learned that certain labels work better for us than others.
This is the closest way to find out which designs fit our bodies better, and
can save a lot of frustrating hours in dressing rooms.
