Fashion dilemma-can anyone help me out.

[sundevilaz]

I'm a long time lurker (mostly on the Foodee board) and new-time poster, and hoping I can find some help in finding some good clothes.

I'm 5'4, about a 165 pounds, and have a large chest, and usually a size 12 clothing size. Plus size clothing ranges are cut to flatter a curvy figure like mine, but only start at size 16. And standard 2-14 sizes never fit me well, as my boobs, butt, arms and hips are always too big, or the styles are not flattering.

I understand that I am smaller than many of the ladies who are on this board, and while I am not considered to be a BBW, I consider myself an ally in the size-acceptance community. And while I have not undergone some of the challenges that DIMS members have experienced, it was still a struggle to accept my curvy and fleshy body and give up on the single digit size ideal.

My problem is that I am too curvy to be regular sized, but too small to be considered plus size, and have a hard time finding clothes tailored to my body type. Any suggestions?
