Lauren Silva Fine Lingerie is the store you visit when you have found that perfect dress for that so-special occassion, and have no idea how to arrange yourself beneath it. A carrier of the plus-size ubiquitous Goddess brands, BB Curves, Panache, and others, this is the lingerie resource to beat all resources - I half [...]

Fig Leaves has a lovely web layout, sizes ranging up to a G cup and a 56 band,  and all the familiar and a few not-so-familiar plus size lingerie brands.  This is a business that wants to serve its customers rather than just collect their money - the links offered on your bra and your [...]

Dear Fantasiawear and plus lingerie designers of similar ilk:
About the push-up shelf bra. Actually, I don’t mind it - they’re fine, they serve a purpose and a population. Someobody likes ‘em.
About the way you pose models in these bras: please quit doing the hand-cover thing. It’s grotesque. It causes me to associate your clothing and [...]

Deva Lifewear is a natural fibers clothing supplier that focuses on the fabric more than the style.  As far as I can tell from their fabric page, all they offer are cotton materials - while I would classify them as environmentally conscious, I’m not entirely clear on their source for cotton fiber, and methods of [...]

About Barnyard Scrapping from the Etsy Listing:
Lynn started Barnyard Scrapping in 2002 as therapy; she had become disabled due to a latex allergy. She began it at first to obtain supplies at wholesale price, but as she created her art, her art progressed. She began by making gifts, which turned into layouts, which morphed into [...]

I’ve got to give it to Catherine’s: for all their slightly “off” designs, they are generous with their sizing and reasonable with their pricing.  They offer a broad selection in conservative-ish support clothing, from panties to PJs. If you are challenged to find an appropriately supportive bra anywhere else, try taking a look here - [...]

Boscov’s is a brand-driven department store.  If you’re a plussie prowling for Playtex, Lilyette, or Vanity Fair bras, this is one place to consider because of its outlet pricing.  Navigating the site is a bit difficult; everything is sorted by category and then by brand, and it’s easy to get lost between each option.  Still, [...]

Blair became an unwitting staple in my wardrobe choices last year, when I realized I needed a between-seasons coat, and I couldn’t afford anything reasonable on my between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place budget. After desperate web searching, I unearthed Blair, this kindly aging proper woman of a catalog, and she guided me to a stone colored overcoat that will [...]

Big Girl Gear clothing offers what it bills “super size apparel.” The size chart starts at size 18 for a small, goes up to a 32, and then skips ahead to two new sizes: “Super” and “Empress.” The clothing not only lives up to its sizes, its models fit their market. Prices can be [...]

It’s a tragedy this little business in Brooklyn isn’t taking orders right now ; they’ve got a big market waiting for them. Big Boxers of Brooklyn offers unapologetically plus intimates for men and for women, and they don’t use models - they wear their designs themselves. These are nice pieces, pieces to be worn [...]
