reasonable priced and fit normal women...where are you getting your pinup clothing?

Ok so I love my vintage repo or real clothing, but I have a problem finding reasonable priced... (dresses less than 100 bucks each) and ones that fit a normal sized woman. I know PUG clothes and I love them but the price tag and shipping has been keeping me away lately. I usually look at marshalls or where I can to try and find something vintage looking. I really want to get some shorts and jeans but they are all outrageous! Anybody find any good bargains? When I look at vintage I can never find anything in the medium size range. Any advice or secrets?

One of the things I try to do in my shop is find clothes for women who aren't a size 2. Sure, I have lots of that, because that was the size they wore back then (only it was labeled very differently!), but I also look for things that might fit a size 8, and sometimes find things that are even larger that fit my aesthetic.

Most of my dresses, except gowns. are priced under $100. I would also recommend looking at another member's site, as she finds great clothes and sells them for a reasonable price.

As far as new retro clothes, I have had great luck at Talbot's-- other than that, I sew my own.
I could shamelessly plug my own line:

or I could tell you to go to Forever 21. They sometimes have cute clothes, but you have to be willing to look for a while!
For dresses and such I love to look in antique or thrift stores. For jeans I just recently got a really nice pair of high waisted jeans from the women's section in JC Penny, I got them on sale but the regular price was like $30? They are really really great quality too. The ones I got are the "Amanda" style from Gloria Vanderbelt
I stumbled across this site.
Look on Yelp.com for thrift stores in your areas. I found a beautiful blue Oscar de La Renta dress with a full skirt for $12! It is practically new, actually cost me more to dry clean than to buy it.

Lol you should always shamelessly plug your site lol

i get really lucky at thrift stores, and at my local vintage boutique. however you do have to look/ shop thru everything sometimes, and there are days you dont get lucky at all. its a game i dont mid playing.... but most of my garments come out to $2-$9 a piece. this just lightens the blow to the bank for when i see something online that i "NEED" in my life LOL
Found this too and a promo code that might work with it for an extra 10% off and free shipping.

Promo code: ER5PVIIO
Feel free to check out my site www.onthetrashyside.com. Nothing over $90 plus tons of sale items. (Some insider info...I make almost all items to order, so any item can be made to custom fit for free).
...writes onthetrashyside.com down for future reference.
Thrift stores. Also Nicole Katherine Designs is really nice, plus she does great sales on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/NicoleKatherine
