Ralph Lauren – they do offer plus size clothing

Ralph Lauren – they do offer plus size clothing

There’s a lot of hubbub over Ralph Lauren taking an already anorexic woman and Photoshopping her image beyond all reasonable proportions, as seen here. This may be a message about the RL attitude towards women’s bodies. It might just be a sign someone is really bad at Photoshop and there was only so much... »

Blazers, vests and sweaters

JC Penney’s extended plus line needs some better choices

The belted top layer for plus size

I’m seeing a big push for these belted tops in some of the trendier plus size stores, and I like the look, but I’m not sure it’s a workable look for all body types. Possibly an hourglass shape could work these, and a pear – but for those who are bustier, I can see... »
