Nordstroms has plus size clothes up to 3X. There are some professional clothes there, but they're expensive. My experience with them is that they carry very high quality goods and offer wonderful customer service.
I'll keep looking for more work wear.

Sorry for the gender bias, Dean. Men are of course welcome to list plus size clothes resources, too ... or shall we say "Big and Tall" clothes?
A lot of women buy from these stores, too - especially for better made LONGER t-shirts made in 100% cotton.
Why the heck are so many t-shirts for women midriff length????
Regarding
Walmart ... I'm so conflicted. It's incredibly hard to turn down such an inexpensive source of clothes. My favorite t-shirt came from there and cost something like $5 (it's tie dye in all rose / fuschia colors). BUT I hate to shop there; I dislike their labor practices and destruction of some small town cultures.
However, Walmart also carries
Just My Size undergarments. I buy the big value packs of their panties there, which I believe come up to size 14. The link above will take you to their website, which carries clothes 14W - 32W. Again, it's mainly casual clothing and moderately priced. I have ordered from them many times and have found the quality decent.
Bat Spit ~ Thank you for the Big On Batik link!!! I love that style of clothes ... The Darling Dress is
gorgeous in blue dragonflies, too - and that Juliet waistline? So cute. I guess I'm gushing as well. I can sympathize with petite women, but I've been looking my whole life for dresses long enough. Maybe it's not the most fashinable thing, but I prefer the hem to hit me 6"-8" above my ankles, which means the skirt has to be ~54" long.
