Sounds like everyone is pretty much in agreement here! It's extremely hard for me to find clothes that fit because I am so short and Petite Departments with good selections are hard to find. If I find jeans that are comfortable, I buy them regardless of the department. Shirts/sweaters/jackets are a whole different story! If they don't fit well, I am absolutely miserable!!
I think it has a lot more to do with shape than age. I saw a really heavy lady the other day and she was wearing lowriders and one of those little T's that shows your bellybutton if you raise your arms. I am not lying, it made me
gag!! About 6-8" of her fat belly was literally hanging out!! Ewwwww!!
