I'm 5'3" with thick thighs and large butt and belly. I typically wear size 18 bottom and 1x tops. However, it seems designers make plus size clothes for woman who are taller. It is impossible to find petite/plus sizes at reasonable cost. I don't want to spend a fortune since I'm expecting to lose some of the weight now that the thyroid issue has been diagnosed and being treated. Any suggestions.
