[quote=Anonymous]In my mid-late 40s I went through a Talbots phase because the store was convenient. I didn’t have to deal with a mall or order online and guess at sizes. I bought dresses, slacks and tops I could wear to work, and avoided all their floral pastel stuff. 
But I frequently ended up feeling frumpy in these clothes. The dresses could have been an inch shorter. The cut of the sweaters could have been more flattering. I think I was wearing the right size - I’m a 10/12 at most stores, but sometimes an 8 at Talbots.

On the other hand, I recently bought slacks from another store where my teen daughter shops. They were a little stretchy with a flare - normally a small flare is flattering on my body type. But when I wore them to work, I felt ridiculous. What I thought was a small flare in the store was a bigger flare at work and the pants were too tight. It was a fail.

I would experiment with stores, and when you find the store that works and you feel confident in their clothes, stick with it!
