I was pretty impressed last weekend when I went to "Mantique"- a trendy store with small sizes and saw that they had a few cute babydoll etc. tops in plus sizes. ALthough they ran small and I could not fit my breasts in alot of the little pouches in the tops, I did find one that was quite cute. There is hope for the future!
Kathy, did you get your order yet?

Hi Dee, I just got my Baby Phat order yesterday ! I ordered 2 pairs of jeans and one of them is really great and fits perfectly but the other has a gap at the waist (it was a higher rise style). So , 1 out of two ain't bad ! Here is a link to the pair that I am keeping: www.babyphat.com/nshop/product.php?dept=&category=plussizes&view=detail&productid=BP-KB1100LL_004&startColor=&groupName=Ljeans&page=There the ones with the red stitching on the back. The others were the dark wash original fit. I did end up paying a fair amount of duty on them but hopefully I will be able to get a refund for the ones I send back. I would order from them again because these jeans are muc nicer than any of the plus size jeans I've tried on locally. I found they ran true to the size chart. I'm still waiting for my Lane Bryant Seven jeans order so I will let you know. Kathy

Hi again Dee, I wanted to ask you about Mantique. Which location was it where you found the plus size tops ? Were they actually marked as plus size ? I'm usually too intimidated to go into stores when I'm not sure that they will have anything to fit me but I'd love to find some more fashionable tops ! Would you say that the tops would fit a size 18 ? I fit the XL size tops from Victoria's Secret and Old Navy, do you think Mantique would have anything that fit me ?
Thanks, Kathy

I went to the Mantique in Guilford. It's almost beside the Addition Elle Career Store. I wear a 22 and the 3x tops fit me, so it's a tad small, but you'll be able to find stuff to fit you for sure. They have a limited selection, but lots of cute embellished camis and babydoll styles.

Oh yeah,
Of course the plus size stuff is at the back of the store!
