JC Penney has a brand called Arizona. The jeans are roomy in all sizes not like gap, and they have plus sizes too. Try and get the jeans with spandex to help her feel comfortable. GL!

Hi D.,

Talbots kids used to be great for this--their cut was always very roomy. The only one I can think of right now is Lands End--they have a plus size selection that allows you to buy the right size for her height (and appropriateness for her age) but with larger proportions. If I remember correctly (the one I had this issue with is 17 now!), either JCPenny or Sears' girls department also had a nice plus size selection.
I guess another thought, if the girls' plus from Lands End isn't enough, is to try their boys' husky size for jeans--they give the proportions online, and I believe that the boys line is much roomier than the girls. Since all the girls styles are the low slung type, the boys jeans shouldn't look or fit all that different.
Good luck!

Hi D. - I'm a Bronx girl too and I went thru the same thing with my step-daughter who was and continues to be very large for her age. I recommend shopping online if possible as often times the stores just don't carry enough of a selection even if they have plus size kids clothes.

Try:

www.jcp.com
www.oldnavy.com
www.landsend.com
www.jeenybeans.com
www.elegantplus.com

All of these have plus size clothes for children. Good luck.

Hi,
Yes, it is hard finding clothes for kids that fall into anything outside the regular sizes offered. My daughter is 10 and although she isn't a true plus size, her middle is slightly larger and she has been in-between size 10-12 for the last year or so. I found that she fits nicely into a plus size 12 1/2. They're just the right length too.

I find a lot of variety in the JC Penny store near me. You can try online too if you don't live near one. Believe it or not, KMart also carried plus sizes that I found to fit her - especially jeans which are the hardest thing to get for her.

Good luck.

Have you considered finding a seamstress (there are lots of Work at home seamstresses on ETSY that do custom work if you don't have anyone local) that could custom make a few nice items for your daughter?

D.~
I'm so sorry for you and your little girl to have to go through this. It's tough, because she's at an age when she is "modeling" others behavior. Such as seeing "big" girls/tv "stars" in outfits that she'd want to be in also.
I had to deal with my daughter being larger than her peers. The good thing is that it's summer! Clothes that are more free flowing tend to be available, sun dresses and such. Try Target and Sears, they have a plus size selection.

On another note, have you taken your daughter off all gluten, diary and processed foods? Dairy and meat are one of the blazing reasons for childhood obesity and hormone activation. ALL these foods contain hormones to make animal flesh grow faster and for the milk to flow more often. It goes directly into the blood stream creating a false message to the brain that puberty is to be activated. The gluten (becomes "glue" in the belly and makes food stick) and processed/fast food are the number one reason for the rise in childhood obesity and diabetes.

As a holistic health nutritionist I see so much of this. Believe me, it was in my own home and life before I went into this field. Know that you're not alone in your quest.
Love up your amazing daughter! Good luck!

I would try the JCPenney girls section plus department. I struggled with the same issue, and they seemed to have the best selection, clothes appropriate for the age group, and stylish. The sizes were roomier in the hip, tummy area. Good luck, I know that this is very frustrating. If I could i would open a clothing line for girls that are not a size 2 and stick figures. It does not help girls self image if all the clothes they like are made for skinny girls.

Circo jeans from Target run on the big side and are very inexpensive.

have you tried gymboree?

Hi D.,

I have a similar problem with my daughter, wide hips. She now wears misses and women's sizes, so it's been awhile size I've done the kids shopping.

I recommend going to stores, rather than online as brands can very so much.

Not sure if they still make them, but Target used to make jeans and twill type pants (thier brand, Cicro) that had elastic on the sides. They came in plus sizes.

Although a little pricy, I always had good luck with J C Penny, check the clearance racks for good deals.

Good luck.

My neice was built like that, my sister found a nice selection at Sears. That was year round too.

You may want to consider getter her boy jeans and decorating them for your girl with paint and glitter and beading. One of my girlfriends has the same problem and this solution seemed to work for her until her little one was big enough for women's sized clothes.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Okay D., I have read all of the other posts and yes I do agree with most of them BUT....., Please try The Children's Place FIRST!!! They are a little more affordable and its a great selection! If you have an outlet mall nearby it's even better. The jeans we buy have a button with elastic on the inside so you can buy a little bigger and grow with them. My 5yr old daughter has had a few pairs for about 2yrs(since she was in size 2t) and they still fit and look good. I know they are online too. www.thechildrensplace.com I think but it is not that hard to find. Good luck!!!

I respond with so much emotion...I was extremely overweight when I was in elementary school and finding clothing was ever so difficult.

Luckily, we found a woman who made clothing out of her home. She made pants for me because I was short and had a very, very large waist / hips.

If I found pants (at Sears) this same woman would hem them for me.

About early puberty, I refrain my own girls from consuming conventional dairy, meat and soy. Buy organic foods when you can.
