Well, I was looking through the brands, and they are all so small...
I am not a 26 waist. XD
Any suggestions?
I am about a 10-12 in US sizing.

DX most brands are smaller. Some come out with an elastic waist <3 Baby has one right now ( I have the skirt and its super comfy) Meta skirts are normaly a little bigger.

And there is alway alterations! I have heard some people getting a brand skirt then taking out the elastic in the back (if they have it) and that makes it a tad bigger.

There are places that make stuff to your size but they arent Japanese brand (fan+friend, In the Starlight, and maybe some more)

Double and triple check your measurements, to start.
I wear something between a US 8-12 *it depends*, and while I know I can't fit into ALL of Baby's clothes, some of the jumperskirts and onepieces seem to be big enough *from the measurements they post*.

If all else fails, commission a dress.

Just a note on altering brand clothing- Please DO NOT do it. xD If you ever want to sell it again you've taken a lot of the value out of it. It's not worth it.

Why isnt it worth it? People buy clothes to wear and not to resell most of the time.
So people who can not fit into small brands should just look and not touch them? Or starve themselves until they can fit into it?
People dont give a fuss if you buy a dress and alter it but once you slap a brand name on it you cant touch it?

Someone above me said that meta skirts are a bit bigger. just to clarify it's actually the exact opposite. most meta skirts are a little over 24 inches. (i'm pretty small and they're still tight on me)

Ahh thank you for the help. =]
I do not plan on selling my clothes either, they would be mementos in the future, maybe for my kids, etc. =]
I am trying to lose at least 10 pounds, fopr health reasons.
I am not like huge or anything, but lately I have been feeling sluggish.
Thank you, all your info was wonderful and appreciated. =]
