I guess I am going to give up on QVC as far as clothes go because it is impossible to get almost anything in 2X .Why?

Q will never be a good source for button up/down blouses or shirts. Cheaper to make over-the-head tops...........I'm in the same boat as you....has nothing to do with size - buttons need button holes & those cost more to make.

Well it was worth a try.There are some great sale prices if you can find anything in a 2X.

Hi binkie. Try Avenue online. 2X is a 26 there, great designs and good quality, great fit. Try Fullbeauty, online, quality isn’t as good as Avenue, check sizing guide there. Try Catherines online. Quality varies. Try Ulla Popken online. Great quality, but priced higher than others. Try Coldwater Creek online and catalog. Clothing runs much smaller there. You will need a 3X and that can be iffy. On QVC, try Dennis Beso’s size 28, sometimes 26. Try

Joan Rivers. Try Louis Del Olio, Linea. They all make classic button down shirts too.

I’m sure you already know Susan Graver and Denim & Co have 2X.

There are deals to be had at Lord & Taylor. They have an additional 20% off @binkie .

These are all under $40.

I wear button down shirts too. I forgot to mention Martha Stewart. Beautiful fabrics and quality. Some designs have enlarged abdominal areas incorporated into them. That’s not always a good look.

There have been many, many button down shirts in Denim & Co. this summer. I've bought at least a dozen; some I liked so well I ordered two different colors. Every day I check the newly arrived merchandise to get a jump on ordering.

I don't buy blouses from QVC because most of them are too long for my personal style even though I am 5'9" tall. I love blouses and I found some cute ones at Dillard's this summer. All cotton and wrinkle resistant.

binkie~~I bought the recent Martha Stewart button -down TSV in denim. I am a 1X-2X, but got it in 1X. It fits really well and I love it. It especially disguises the stomach area, which is a problem area for me. Just ordered same shirt in the poplin. Just an idea for you.

QVC does not do plus sizes well for the same reason petites are scarce. Demand. Volume is their aim.
