Sure, what size are you in men's clothing? IF you are really large you may need to go to larger women's clothing.

There are basically 3 types, Junior, Miss and Womens.

Junior is usually for younger (or older) slender girls/women, (little to no hips or curves). Sizes run odd, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc. (Think Carmen Diaz, Penelope Cruz size.)

Misses is for women who have developed jips and breasts, not too large. Sizes run even 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,14,16,18.

Womens is for extra large women. Large in everyway, hips, stomach, breasts etc. Not sure what they run, but probably start at 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24. I have always seen XL, XXL, XXXL and so on.

Those are your basics. Now depending on your size, and the type of clothing, dress, pant, top, etc., like me I can wear a Junior 10 or a Missy 8.

(You can look at my recent images, I am 8 or 10 depending on brand and quality. https://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=gallery;ox=showalbum;ax=6662 )

I never stick to trying on only one size because of styles and manufacturers have "their true 8" which is just a little different than another manufacturer.

So I can wear an 8 in an expensive cloth, a 10 in a less expensive item.

As far as shoes, go to a TJMaxx or Ross and put you foot next to the largest size. Gage from there.

Happy shopping..

Also, please do yourself a favor and go to YouTube to watch videos on applying makeup, if that is something you are interested in. They have some wonderful tutorials.

Remember, less is more.

As for finding the right shoes, you have to try them. Everyone says add two sizes, but for me this resulted in having uncomfortably large shoes, which was made worse when wearing pumps as they would fall off. By the time I found my correct size, it ended up being the same. I wear 10 men's or women's. Though, admittedly, I don't like any of the male styles that are snug, but I don't wear them too loose either..

Another problem is consistency, or the lack thereof. I have found that sometimes they will run much larger or smaller, and have found heels to fit me in all sizes from 9 to 11.

Though when it comes to the straps, I found an easy way to add holes using a thumbtack and a small drill bit. Poke a hole with the thumbtack, then run the bit through several time, pinching with your fingers. This will ream out the hole, and cut most of the fibers making it clean like the original holes. This may help as some pairs may fit otherwise, but the strap may be to short. Too long is another possibility as well.

Besides, trying them on at the store is so much fun anyway. And, just like I had read, most people do not care. You get some that look at you strange, but others will even try to help you find what you want.

The suggestion to add 2 sizes for your male size is pretty much valid. There are some exceptions. Note that men's feet tend to be wider than women's feet, so while going up a size or two, you may need to go wider too. I have two basically identical pairs of shoes in the same number size (in different colors) and the W definitely fits better than the normal (B) width.

I've found that Lane Bryant size 12 shoes seem to fit my 23W feet fell, though there have been exceptions. There are also a few online sellers that sell “dancer” shoes that fit men's feet, while still using the female sizing system. Look for Please brand shoes.

When I bought my first bra I used the recommended method… turns out it was two sizes to small. Eventually got the right sized bra and panties etc.

Because of the inconsistency, I will often go to 2nd hand stores. If it ends up not fitting then your not out much money. Just som fun shopping.

Its a little off subject, but this reminds me of an incident a number of years ago. I was in the lingerie section of a big box store looking for a bra. A middle-aged woman who was stocking came over and asked if she could help me find something. I told her I was looking for a bra, white, about 30 or 32 A-cup, lacey, something a teenage girl would wear. She looked at me real weird, like to say what kind of pervert are you? She's probably thinking, I know it won't fit you, and if your girlfriend is a teenager, that is even worse. I explained to her it was a gag gift for my brother's retirement party, to remind him of the time our dad found a bra in the car after he had used it on a date. She got a big smile on her face and found me just what I wanted. (Been there, done that?)

Awesome resource thank you!
