I think the largest size they carry might be a 3.5, which I think is a size
18. I can't remember if they carry petites or not. I know that Coldwater
Creek carries plus sizes (& petites). I usually manage to find things at
Coldwater Creek as well.

They do sizes larger than an 18 -- I wear a 22 and I know they have
stuff to fit me. The problem I have with their clothes is that all the
stuff big enough to fit me is made of the stretchy, drape-y, spandex or
lycra stuff. It absolutely CLINGS to every bump, bulge, nook and cranny
of my fat Irish arse & thighs! Large size for so many people today
means being fat and middle aged -- NOT necessarily young and firmly fat
-- LOLOL! The thought of that clingy lycra stuff caressing my cellulite
thighs is just way too obscene so I don't even get near that sort of

Oh Tia Mary.....I can so identify with everything you wrote! I HATE clingy
clothes. I feel like I'm being strangled. No one wants to see all my lumps
and bumps and bulges. And I don't care to see it on others either. I
haven't been in a Chico's for quilte a while. I didn't know they carried
larger sizes. But just because the size is larger, it doesn't mean the
style is good for "largers"!

Kathy - I think Tia may be speaking about Coldwater Creek with the larger
sizes.

Ok....That's more in line with what I've seen. I must have mis-read it.
