Are You Plus-Size on Just the Top or Bottom?

Inquiring minds would like to know. While I may wear an 8-10 on the bottom, I’m nowhere near “average sized” up top. I thought there were tons of people like me, but the more contact I have with the plus-size population, the less I believe that. Yesterday, at a mega TJ Maxx clearance sale (oh, happy days), I realized just how plus-size on top I am. My back’s wide, my bust is approaching the “giant” category, and my shoulders are pretty big, too.

Does anyone else have this same fitting issue? The good thing is that we can shop in more than one area, but it does make for a confusing time when you’re concentrating on fitting. Tops like the one shown above by C.enne.v are my savior. This Short Sleeve Top with Back Ties is perfect for skimming along curves without obscuring them, and it’s very easy to fit, too.

    I’m definitely a small or medium on top, and a L going into plus sizes on bottom. It’s so frustrating!

    I’ve definitely got the same problem! I’m about 2 sizes bigger on my bottom. I find going with separates is usually the easiest way to go - that and sewing my own clothing :-)
