I DID notice you seem to be in a smaller size than me - either I'm built weird, or there may be some differences between American and Canadian sizing...one thing I've finally (finally!) learned is to forget what the number says, and wear what fits. I just had to buy a 3X Columbia jacket. Fortunately the online reviews all said "order 2 sizes bigger, they fit small!". And that was totally true - so even though the number SOUNDS awful (I was so glad to get out of 3X's!) the jacket looks great, and fits even with a sweater underneath. But I digress..

My point wasn't so much size. But more about you might find that going to a normal size relax cut might provide a different fit. (instead of plus size)
For me I was wearing lane bryant plus size curvy because of my waist was big and it was the only thing that would fit.
Once I got down to a certain size, that size was getting too big in the hips/legs/butt...
So I tried a normal size and found the relax fit, better.
Maybe it won't work for you since it seems we aren't the same body type.
I have all my weight in my butt/hips/and stomach. With my lower stomach being bigger then my hips and butt now.
Either way, Don't be afraid to ask other women at the clothing store or the sales people on the floor.
I do it all the time, ask a complete stranger if I am unsure. Mainly if something I feel is too tight...
And sometimes, to put people at ease, I say "hey can you help me? I lost over 100 pounds trying to figure out if this looks okay, or if it is too tight? I don't mind it tight some because I plan on keeping loosing weight. but is it too tight that it looks awful or bad?"
And I get honest answers back.
