Forever 21 is junk it just is, your
better off going to an outlet somewhere and get far better stuff. My husband likes bebe so we always end up there….dont waste your money in forever 21 . its bebe for me plus if i dont want it i can return it in 14 days no drama .

This all raises a really good point. So the question is, what’s the source for cute, inexpensive clothes in larger sizes? Obviously lots of people would like to know!!!

to the sizing issue, these clothes are sized for juniors. my normal size small/6 is actually a large or XL in F21. once i figured that out, i found more things that fit.

to the quality, you get what you pay for; a lot like H&M.

in the PROS column, the store is great for accessories.

Charlotte Russe seems to be another store that is recession proof. I can walk out of there with a large bag full of clothes for only 20 bucks if I shop the clearance racks (I swear, 60% of the store is clearance). I can get shirts for around 1.75-3.00 and the quality is better than Forever 21 and the fit is better, too.

I’m with Mimi; add to the CONS list Forever 21′s skimpy sizing. And the quality (already on the CONS list) is really lacking. In other words, you get what you pay for. Sure, you can pick up a really cute & trendy tweed blazer for fall… but just don’t expect to wear it past one season.

You’re lucky you can fit into the clothes! I can never find anything there that will fit my non anorexic body. I don’t think I was even that small when I WAS 21!
