Sturdy workwear
The hunt for a pair of jeans that could stand up to work, and not feel like I would bust through them in a week, brought me to tears. These were true to size and actually fit when I got them, and they're sturdy! They've been going strong for five wee...
Rebar DuraStretch Riveter Double Front Straight Jean | Ariat
Ok, to be clear ON ME these ran extremely large. I ordered my usual size, which was a 22, and I think I could have gone down a size, which is crazy for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to exchange them, so I had to take them in as best I can...
Rebar PR DuraStretch Made Tough Double Front Straight Pant | Ariat
Athletic
This is the one. I cried when I put it on, I love it so much. I got this in the light purple color, and I got so many compliments on it in class!!
Crisscross Hourglass® Juliet Skort - POPFLEX
Now I'll be honest, this doesn't exactly hold the girls in place, but for more casual exercise, or even just wearing around, it's so cute! I got mine in the coconut cream color!
Peekaboo Crew Tank - Black
These have been my favorite leggings for dance, and just life in general. They don't roll down!!!
Powerhold Shop
OMG finding a leotard that fit me was a nightmare! To be transparent, you have to order a way bigger size than you'd think you need, but check the measurements and reach out to their customer service if you need to! I did, and they were so helpful in...
Women's Long Sleeve Leotards
This brand just about made me cry, I've never felt prettier in active wear. I got this skirt in black, and it's been great for dance class or just as a cute outfit piece!
Crisscross Hourglass® Twirl Skort - Black
Underthings
Shopping for underwear is one of my biggest hurdles, and let me say these were everything I wanted them to be. No riding up, or rolling down, and they actually cover everything!!
Evry
This thing is heavy duty. But, as an Irish step dancer I need heavy duty! This is the best thing I've found for really strapping the girls down when I need to.
Ultimate Sports Bra | Front Close Adjustable High Impact
I'm a 44 DDD. I didn't know it was possible to still have some support without the wire, and now that I know, I don't think I can ever go back.
Plus Size - Wire-Free Push-Up Smooth Bra
These are the most comfortable tights I've tried in general, but the dance specific version has been so nice for competitions and performances! It's really hard to find tights as a plus size person, and I love that this company exists.
Black Super-Opaque Dance Tights
This bra is SO COMFY for lounging! The sizes are accurate, and the merino really is as good as advertised.
Women's Seamless Merino Wool Essential Busty Bra - BRANWYN
I bought this for a training program I was doing where I knew I'd be doing work and getting sweaty, so I needed something I could wear multiple days in a row. Merino wool absolutely holds up to the hype! It lasts me the work week without getting stin...
Women's Seamless Merino Wool Racerback Sports Bra - BRANWYN
Alternative
These were the first bold clothing choice I ever made! I was so nervous to wear them, but I really love them, and get a lot of compliments.
Alice Lace Up Flare Pants
This was a recent addition! Again, I was nervous to wear it out, but there's something about the way I feel in it that I can't describe. It shows the nicer part of my legs, but hides the parts I'm insecure about. Definitely love it!
M-line Buckle Skirt
It's so hard to find pants of any kind that fit me. I adore these leggings, and I think they're pretty flattering!
Bat's Roost Legging
Dressy/Professional
I love this shirt for when I need to be a little more buttoned up, but still me.
Embroidered Relics Button Up Shirt
Daily wear
It's nice to have a pretty affordable option for daily wear leggings! Downside for me is no pockets, but for pants that fit, that's a trade off we have to make sometimes.
