As a woman who has been a variety of sizes I will add my two cents. Learn early that if your clothes don't fit perfectly off the rack, it doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Don't settle for something that covers you, it needs to fit and flatter. Fit your toughest area, and tailor from there.
I learned this in my 20s. I had gone shopping with my father, who was looking for a new suit. He stepped into the men's department at Macy's and was greeted within 10 seconds by a salesman. He told the man he wanted a charcoal gray with subtle pinstripe. The guy eyeballed him, picked three suits in his size and had the seamstress waiting for him when Dad stepped out of the dressing room. She marked up the suit, and we were good to go.
That caliber of service has happened for me...never.
It was then that I realized a good seamstress isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
I'll get off my soapbox.
