We love Marissa Jaret Winokur. She flaunted her curves with pride in her Tony-winning role as Tracey Turnblatt in "Hairspray" and on "Dancing With the Stars" where she made it to the finals. And now, as host of Oxygen's "Dance Your Ass Off" (the finale airs next Monday, August 31 at 10 p.m. EST) she continues to prove that big girls can definitely move.

But when MJW isn't dancing, she's shopping. And she shares with Lemondrop her secrets for buying the perfect fit every time, no matter what your size.

"I'm obsessed with clothes," she reveals. "I'm obsessed with shopping and shoes, and I can't help it."

Try Everything On
"I know some people don't like the way I dress and some do. I've completely figured out what I like to wear and what makes me feel good. You can't go by size. You have to try everything on. Every pair of jeans fits different. Buy what fits your body. I feel like a lot of women are at stores like H&M where everything is gonna run smaller. So, a lot of people are like, 'Oh no this looks like I'm a 12 or a 14.' Just put it on. Nobody cares what the size is. Just wear what fits you."

Learn Each Store's Sizing
"Some stores run big and some stores run small. H&M, Forever 21 -- anything that's, like, more for tweens runs small. I probably shouldn't be going into those stores anyways but I do. But then there are other stores like the Gap and Express that always run big. So you go in there and you're like, 'I'm wearing a size 8 and I look amazing!'"

Show Off Your Shape
"My whole thing with clothes is that when you're overweight, you don't need to wear big smocks and mu-mus to find clothes that fit you. If you cover up more, you just look bigger 'cause you can't see where the body is."

Colors Can Be Deceiving
"The scary thing in those kind of cheaper stores (which are great) is that you have to try every color [of the same item] on because the black is gonna fit tighter because it has more dye in it. But then, if you get the beige or the gray it could fit bigger. Every color cuts differently. That's why black jeans are always tighter. You always have to try jeans on."

Wear What You Love
"I've been on the worst dressed list so many times it's like I can't even count. It'll be like me and Kelly Ripa wearing the same Marc Jacobs dress and its like, 'Who looks better?' Well, of course Kelly Ripa looks better. The dress was made for Kelly Ripa! Those dresses are really not made for me, but I'm still gonna wear them 'cause they look really cute."
