The Empire strikes first – plus size empire dresses
I am bewildered by the expression on this model’s face. I realize “showing attitude” is popular in some crowds, but it never really comes to a successful end. Did the photographer tell her to make that face? Was she just having a blood sugar crash? What the heck is going on up there? It’s still a cute dress, though. This model looks [...]
For the plus-size woman with the small bust
Women’s bodies don’t come from cookie cutters. This is especially true among plus-size women, where finding clothing with the right fit (especially since most people can NOT avoid the additional expense of a tailor) is a struggle. Jeans gape at the waist, as their designed for someone with bigger hips. Bellies prevent pants that otherwise fit [...]
Capris-fun
When capris first came back on the racks, I was horrified. While capris – also known as pedal pushers – were great on 1950s starlets but on me? I still feel vaguely like a weeble-wobble. This may explain why so many women have clamored for longer tops and T-shirts. We are not midriff bearers by nature, and alas, I do not look this put together [...]

Print blazers–NOT off an animal, please
Thank the fashion gods for Anna Scholz, or all plus women would still be stuck on the frustrating fashion sidelines. I’ve noticed cute floral print blazers all over the magazines, much like this: I can't find anything remotely equivalent in plus sizes at all at the moment. Paint me VERY annoyed. The next best thing I managed to locate [...]
Smokin’: Cigarette Pants
Since the 1950s is a part of this latest fling with spring, some of the goodies besides the poodle skirt are making their way back into the fashion pool. This includes the cigarette pants, a variation on the capris. Yes, you can make them smokin' but you have go to adjust it to the body you have. We won’t wear them the same way, of course. [...]
Lady in White: white jackets for spring
Jackets – especially trench style – are a spring basic. White jackets, while prone to showing coffee stains, also do add a certain “I’m awesome” polish to an outfit. This works only if you manage not to spill anything on yourself. You can find your own white jackets on Fat Chic clothing search.
You are the sword: plus size sheath dresses
Sheath dresses, like pencil skirts, restrict movement, demand heels, sometimes encourage people to strap themselves down in underwear like they’re planning on riding a roller coaster for eight hours… and yet wearing one feels freaking powerful. My first sheath dress was a magenta number I wore to my senior concert in high school. While I [...]
