I'm only a largish size 14 at the moment and I struggle to find things that fit well even in this size, but it does get worse and worse to find things as you get bigger, and the states does seem to be much better at catering for anything above a 16 which is at all out of the ordinary. Though I do think the UK is improving even if Camden haven't caught up yet.

I've spent 8 years getting gradually too big for all my clothes, and then for all my new clothes, and then for all them too, and then the last 2 years doing the same only faster in reverse. Bit of a blip back up again now mind. It's so frustrating when something you loved won't fit any more. Though less so on the way back down IME.

Still need to shed about an inch to get in the new dress. Too hot for it this w/e anyway though.
