GRRRR, this makes me nuts too! I need to see what an outfit will look like on a short, spherical person with absolutely no waist. The models in those catalogs are still shaped like regular women, just thicker and taller.
As I've gotten larger (I'm about a 22 right now), I really can't find anything at Kohl's any more - I only find things now at KMart or - don't laugh - Fleet Farm! My entire wardrobe is big ol' Lee elastic waist jeans and plaid / flowered blouses now. The absolute WORST thing to try and find now are bras - when you get past a certain size, the undergarment industry is convinced that you should just wear big white torpedo-cone bras with 8 hooks up the back. I do like the styles from Just My Size though, and they fit really well. I've never really looked at their other stuff, but they have regular clothing on their site too.
