OT-- Since we've been talking clothes....

There is a catalog called Blair that carries real women's sizes :eek: . The prices are reasonable, the clothes nice. I bought my MIL's clothes there. They tell you what range their sizes cover like, a 12 covers a 36 bust, 30 waist, 38 hips whatever. :D All you need is a tape measure. Usually they cost less if you buy two or more of the same thing. Most of their stuff comes in a variety of colors so thats easy.

The clothes appeal to younger women, and they're comfy too. I like their sweat suits and the petites REALLY ARE. I'm short 5"1' and the legs fit. All machine wash and dry.

Another called Haband is pretty good too. Costs less, everything is pretty good. They both sell extra wide shoes.

Lil E,

I definitely wouldn't mind getting some more sweats since it is colder now. But I WISH they would come back with "wind suits"! :) I always liked them because they were neat or presentable and I liked the swishing noise. :) They were always great for those windy and rainy spring days.

yes these 2 companies have been around for a long time.

Kathi, check out Eastbay on the web as they still carry wind suits for athletes and you would find a few you really like.
