But I do not know what to wear so please someone help me oh yeah I am a black african american women and I am 18 so help me please and thank you

First of all you need to keep it classy.

Wear a nice top that's comfortable for you. Something fun and sassy and most importantly, something that makes YOU feel sexy and beautiful. Plus size doesn't have to mean that you are limited. Also consider that it gets really hot in a club so make sure your top will be comfortable throughout the night.

You should probably wear your best jeans. The best BUT comfortable jeans you own. Dark jeans are ideal, they are slimming.

As for shoes, make sure your shoes are SHOES and not sneakers, and it would help wearing something you're comfortable dancing in. If you can't walk in it for more than a half hour, don't wear it.

Hope I could help! And have a great, great time

I don't need your rude comments about losing weight, I just want to look around at some new stores. Does anybody know any places that carry cute plus size clothes besides lane bryant?

I was looking on the Sears website for an outfit (yes, in the plus sizes) and I noticed alot of the models, if not all, were skinny! Why?!?

Sometimes even when they use plus-size models for the clothing, you can't really see too much of a difference between the "plus-size" models and regular models. But if you put them side-by-side, you'd see that the plus-size models are more like the average slim person. That's because while most models are a size 0-4, "plus-size: models are usually size 10-12—which actually isn't plus-size at all, it's a regular Misses size. 12 is also the average dress size of women in the US. But models also tend to be 5 to 7 inches taller than the average woman, so their weight is distributed differently, meaning that even the "plus-size" models are skinnier than the average woman who is a size 12.

It's the way the industry is at the moment, and given that it's really only been in the last 10 years that plus sizes have gotten any recognition or respect at all in terms of fashion, it's unlikely to change anytime soon. It's unfair, but they expect that people will be happy with the crumbs they toss: a few stores and designers offering plus sizes—most of which have wonky fits because they don't research women's body shapes well enough, and most of which also only offer a shadow of the fashionable styles in Misses lines; and a smattering of models that are 3 or 4 dress sizes above the miniscule regular models. It's ridiculous, but it *is* changing, though change is slow.

It would probably help speed the changes along if more people complained or spoke up. If you do end up ordering from Sears, ask to talk to customer service when you call in, and explain to them what you feel about the models. Or email them, if they have that contact available. It may seem like it's not much, but if enough customers tell stores how they see it, and how serious they are about it, it will make a difference.
