ORIGINAL: calamitysandra I just ordered from Holy Clothing too. Some really cool stuff there, and an offer for free shipping, even the international, for orders over 99$. Considering shipping costs to Germany, ordering a piece more to get free shipping was well worth it. So there are a dress, a top and a skirt each on their way to me, plus the top in a second colour to take it over the 99$. This selection should also help me asses their sizing for future orders. For now, I ordered on the larger side, 'cause loosely fitting is better than not fitting. And yes, in Germany, everything over a 12 is regarded as plus size, and you are looked at like something truly disgusting if you go into a "normal" clothing shop. And now I go and check out Evans. From the US they will slap you with import tax, be aware of that... And for Germany, I recall after having surgery, a bunch of issues with my thyroid, so for a a year or so I struggled with my weight, it wasn't too bad I thought, but I went up from a German size 34/36 (would be a US 2 roughly) to a size 40 (a US 6) and tired boutiques, being told that "We don't do large sizes" was quite a blow. Having been shopping with friends who need larger sizes was quite an eye opener!
