After reading the comments though, I must agree with the person who stated that "old navy's sizes are over lapping". In store, the sizes go up to XXL in tops, and a size 20 in bottoms. Can everyone fit the largest sizes available in store? No... but overweight Americans are an even bigger problem then those with an eating disorder. With that statistic in mind, one would think that the plus size line would still be in store since there're so many overweight people. But the line wasn't making sales. Perhaps overweight individuals don't want to be seen in public???? It's retail...it's the economy...companies have to do what that have to do. So stop bitching and atleast drop to a healthy size 16. Your heart will love you for it. I understand how some people can be frustraited with this change.

I keep reading about people not wanting the heel. I like wearing heels, but I am looking for a lace up boot. I can find all the ones with stretch shafts, but nothing wide width lace up.

First of all, the different treatment and trying to pretend like there are no plus sizes, when clearly 50% of us girls, women areeee plus sized per those standards. That is simply a fact, I used to be very skinny before I came here but with this lifestyle here, speed, driving cars etc, no time for anything, and the food just not good even when it says organic, water full of meds, it is almost impossible to be skinny unless you are anorexic. I used to very very skinny IN EUROPE, no problem, could eat what I want, but the lifestyle there is so different, the food, the water and stress is sooooo much less.. it is just not like that here. Now if I starved yes maybe only maybe than I would lose a few pounds. Big difference. And I DONT USE CATALOGS, I NEVER WOULD. Ridiculous, if anyone NEEDS TO TRY ON CLOTHES, IT IS THE PLUS SIZES. When you are stick skinnt almost everything fits because you are like a hanger. I know from experience. I've been both. But when you are plus sized, you gota make sure it fits your SHAPE. You can't do that unless you try it, that is silly. Well, I am sad to hear that they are trying to pretend half of the nation doesn't exist.

After reading about these jeans and having problems myself I went in to Catherine’s and Saleslady set me up with 5,6,7. Website said I was 8 Y. I was amazed I fit 5 yellow. Tight at 1st. After one wash and 2 days wearing little looser. Should be perfect. Nice not gaping at the rear! SteveD Also a Guy.
