In relation to that post, if there are fatties out there who are places other than SF, please also post about where you find fabulous clothes. I'm in Iowa and have trouble finding groovy looking, decent priced fattie wear...

Don't know about any brick-and-mortars, but Torrid online has some way cute stuff, especially if you're a 3X or less.

I get great clothes at California Big and Tall on Howard St in San Francisco. They are the outlet store where all of the clothes that did not sell at Rochester Big and Tall, their parent store. The clothes are always top quality and are usually marked down to 40 to 60% off the original price at Rochesters. (There's a store a few blocks away from California Big and Tall, I go there if I can't wait until the markdown next season.)
Before I found this store, I usually had to settle for bland clothes in less than optimal materials because that is all that the local fat men's clothing store carried. That phase of my life is long gone now that I've discovered Rochester's and its cheap-o cousin.
I love the service there too. I think it says a lot of positive things about a retail store when the exact same staff has been there for all 6 years you've been shopping there.
By the way, I know the topic was for "us big girls." However, I do know several women who've gotten clothes there too!
