You are right, you have to decided if you can shop Juniors or not. Thats why I try “everything” on because each item is cut differently. Some Juniors line are more generously “cut” than other, and some lines have extended sizes (Junior plus sizes).

Some styles will work out well, and some will not. You always have to “size up” if you wear at least a 36 cup when trying on Junior tops. I don’t buy junior pants, even though I’m smaller on the lower half of my body. I prefer shopping for pants and jeans in the women’s department or old navy (most women are thicker in the mid section and stomach area so they need to purchase from misses/petites) . I seldomly buy any Junior dresses. There are certain things I stay away from as I mentioned in my post. I do blazers, blouses, shirts and skirts occasionally and thats it. I don’t suggest you buy everything in Juniors.

-Forever21 only goes up to a size 6 for the average woman. If you are a petite (small boned, small in height and statue) you can go up to a size 8.

-DOTS is great and generous with their sizing, they carry PLUS sizes and woman who wear up to a average size 12 can shop in DOTS

Except those clothes are for teenage girls and if you’re not built like a teenage girl, you can’t do it. Many grown women, even if they’re in great shape, are still not able to dress in teenage girl’s clothing.

Thanks BB. I love shopping Juniors. The Petite and Misses section is great when you can catch a real sale like 50% to 70% off. Otherwise I’m scanning the racks in Forever21, Rue21, Old Navy, etc.

Great dress!! I like some of their dresses, but most of the time their dresses are a little too short. I need most of my dresses to go over the knee. That one is really fab though!!

I just started shopping at forever 21. Some of the stuff is blah but I’ve found a few good things. Today I wore this dress (http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=dresses&product%5Fid=2047066047&Page=all) with fishnets and mary janes and got SO many compliments. One male coworker told me this was one of my more “conservative” outfits, as opposed to my “flashy” outfits. I think he meant those pencil skirts I told you about!
