Want a Great Coat for Very Little Cash?
We're in the middle of Winter's end sales at all the catalogues. BCO Outlest, which does final clearances for all of the REDCATS companies (Woman Within, Roaman's, Jessica London etc.) has the best prices for final markdowns, but they won't have every size. Sometimes they'll only have one lonely color in one size.
On the other hand, if that's the color and size you need, it's going to be half price or less.
If you have a bit of time on your hands, check the clearance sections of your favorite online sites and see if you get lucky!

My first hand research and opinions on life, style and survival skills as a 5 foot 10 inch, 272 pound, size 26 singer, wearing 10EEE shoes. I share web addresses where you can find large sizes in work clothes; sexy outfits;"welcome to the commune" garb; yuppie togs; formal wear and prom dresses; even Renaissance Faire and Halloween outfits! Join me in my quest to live happily and healthily as a round peg in a skinny world.

SAD NEWS about WIDE SHOES:
David Tate Shoes No Longer Dependable.
It used to be that every time I tried on a David Tate shoe I was sure they'd fit. David Tate was my source for pretty and dependable strappy sandals. They were foot shaped (not pointed.) They were well made and comfortable to dance in. While there weren't any 3" or higher heels for really DRESSY occasions, at least I used to trust David Tate. But sometimes life is sad.
I just sent back a very pretty heel that was supposed to be a size EE. It was WAY narrower than an EE. Forget "snug"! I couldn't even get it on!
My old David Tate dress shoes still fit just the same as always, so we know the new ones aren't being made to the same standards, so, sadly,
I TAKE BACK MY ENDORSEMENT OF DAVID TATE SHOES.
Propet and Aravon
For dressy events, we still have Propet and Aravon. Both make cute sandals that are comfortable and look nice (not spectacular, but good) with dresses and even semi-formal clothes.
Aravon is a newish brand, compared to the others. Their shoes cost about twice as much as Propet, with no visible difference in quality. Also, for Aravon, I had to order one shoe size up and accept that to fit my shoe width, I'd have to accept 1/2 inch more length than I need. Even so, they work. I wore Aravon Clarissas to a slightly dressy party last weekend and a few people commented favorably on them.
