I found a new hobby, it's alteration. It started when I saw a beautiful plus size dress, I then went to the misses department and also at petites to hunt for it but to no luck. I bought the plus size dress and attempted a major alteration, sounds easy because what I need to do is trim the sleeve, saw 2-1/2 inches on each side and make the shoulder length fit me.
The plum dress fits me so well and I always get compliment every time I wear it. Since then I got hooked, I buy cheap big size dresses, blouses or cover-up shells and do my own alteration. Once I thought I should learn my lesson and buy a dress my size but I love the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment so I will continue to buy cheap plus sizes dress.
Note: cheap because I always go on clearance rack.
