Size Fat Activewear Review: Target

So finding work out stuff in plus sizes is one of those bullshit games I hate playing. I like good quality, funky type of workout gear. If I feel I could be mistaken for a fitness guru on instagram, then I'm much more likely to give it all I got during a workout. Anyway, I've tried a bunch of brands on over the past year, and thought a series of reviews on brands that I've had experience could be something useful.

For your reference for sizing: I am 48 inches in the bust, 42 inches in the waist, and 48 inches in the hips. Roughly an M in City Chic. I'm 6ft (184cm) tall, 120 kg.

Target: 

Whilst there is a (depressing) dedicated plus size range, most of the cute stuff from the straight size range sizes out at 18/20. Depending on the cut, the 18s and 20s fit. I wouldn't buy online -- the fit is pretty inconsistent from item to item. Target do have sales very regularly, and things get marked down to clearance frequently making it super affordable. Overall, this is my preferred budget line.

The tops are on the shorter side.

 I'm wearing an 18 in these items right now:

I'm wearing a 20 in these:

Even though the tops can be short, I do prefer them over Target leggings in general. I find the leggings to have thinner material, and the printed leggings show the white backing when stretched. However, there are some real gems out there, that are equal parts comfortable, durable, and cute.

I have this in an 18 and it's one of my favourite leggings:
