Some New Years outfit ideas

I’m really liking the asymmetric collar on this sweater, giving it an element of visual surprise. The skirt? Wider in the middle for people who, like me, are wider in the middle. I dig. For a similar reason I like this skirt with a pattern at the hem, and I could also... »

Funky Winter Dresses

If you’re looking for a last-minute inspiration before New Year’s, consider these funky dresses: Again, body shape matters especially for dresses. I’m very fond of the loose red dress, it’s a very bohemian feel that can still work on a plus size. The empire cut on the print dress wouldn’t work... »

The Big Shirt

The Big Shirt

I’m not sure I’m wholly in favor of this shirt – although the belt does help it significantly. It seems like one of those shapeless options that designers uncomfortable clothing plus sizes sometimes opt for. I can imagine it working over certain palazzo pants, but beyond that, I think this shirt as it... »

Changing Generation, Changing Pants

Changing Generation, Changing Pants

It looks likeĀ  the new pant styles are starting to make their way into trendy/mainstream looks. Since I’m almost unreasonably opposed to a gathered elastic waist, I have to admit I’m glad of them. The low-waisted looks were just unfortunate on me, and even at my most uninhibited I’m not one that... »

Punk and Funk

The clothing jumping out at me at the moment is winter-friendly punk, both from the US and the UK. I love these skirts, especially the take on argyle. While it won’t look figure flattering on the wide-waisted, hour glassed ladies can pull this off beautifully. I’m also a sucker for corset lacing, like you... »

Monif C. New(ish) releases

While I think most of us have seen the Monif C. Marilyn convertible dress, for holidays 2008 they’ve added a couple new dresses: Both are curve huggers and both present shoe-matching challenges. They are definitely made for plus women and yay for using actually plus sized plus size models! You can find other dresses... »

Ruffle Front Yet Plus Friendly

Ruffle Front Yet Plus Friendly

Old Navy has an improvement on the ruffle front shirt design, opting for gentle pin-tucks instead of those great swatches of fabric leaping off the chest. I have to say I like this quite a bit better – for those with larger busts, you already have a three dimensional effect, and for those with... »
