Plus Size Clothes for Girls
I a couple of weeks ago I ran across a plus size clothing store I had never visited before, and this one was indeed a store with a difference. Specializing in plus size clothes for girls aged 7 to 12, It Chick Clothes, has made it their mission to make plus size clothing for girls that is anything but boring!
It Chick Clothes was founded by Emily Palit and Chatherine Price, after they realized that only a limited number of girls can actually wear ‘standard sizes’ at most retailers. So they joined forced to create a shopping experience for girls which is fun, and stylish. Their collection includes dresses, top, skirts and trousers, which are fun and colorful. 
Recently I had a quick chat with Emily, one of the founders, who was kind enough to give us more of a closer look at It Chick Clothes.
What inspired you to create It Chick Clothes?
We both love clothes and fashion, and we saw a need for girls who were being left out of the fun clothes that "other girls" were wearing. The girls we’ve spoken to have used the words "other girls" when describing what they want to wear; you can hear that they feel marginalized. There’s a catch-22 for these larger girls: they’re told they can wear the trendier clothes if they lose weight, but this is pretty discouraging. In contrast, we want girls to feel good in our clothes, no matter how much they weigh. We love the lit up faces that we see on girls who wear our clothes.
How long has this online store been in existence?
We started on eBay two years ago, and we opened http://www.itchickclothes.com in early 2006.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes!
What’s the main goal behind this one of a kind online store?
Our goal is to offer really cute clothes for girls 7 to 12 who may have a harder time shopping at traditional retailers. The end goal is to offer the same styles in the right sizes for our clients. The thing is that these retailers offer "half sizes," but some of our clients need a much bigger waist size than a half size bigger.
Visit It Chick Clothes today to take a closer look at this great store.

5 Steps to Slimmer Looking Curves
This post was kindly submitted by SizeAppeal.
1. Go for the right fit, not the size tag of a garment.
Try on different sizes, as all brands have their own size charts. Buy the size that fits you best, not the size you wish you were. A piece that is too tight will always make you look heavier than a piece in the next bigger size that fits you right.
2. Wear heels!
Don’t worry, there is no need to walk around all day in 5-inch stilettos and get swollen feet that hurt (although they would surely make you stand tall!). A 2-inch heel will give you extra height while being comfortable to wear for most women in their daily life. You will get the longest line by wearing pointy toes in the same color as your pants or hosiery. Avoid ankle straps that cut your leg line.
3. Your pants have to be long enough to cover at least half of your heel.
A straight leg or slight boot cut elongates your legs. Don’t wear French pleats or cropped pants. Your pants should fit snugly, but not too tight. Check for unwanted excess fabric in your butt area making you look shapeless.
4. Accentuate your assets.
Emphasizing your best features distracts from the ones you don’t like that much and makes you look slimmer overall. If you have a slim waist, wear a belt around it or a shirt with a cinched waist. Got nice legs? Wear a knee-length skirt. If your arms are slim, go sleeveless or try cap-sleeves.
5. Wear garments with vertical lines.
It is true, they are elongating and slimming. It doesn’t matter if the lines are created by seams, pinstripes, topstitching, prints or anything else. They all have the same effect. Vice versa, horizontal lines add unwanted volume to your silhouette.

New Look
Although the Scoop had been revamped only a couple of months ago, I felt a change was needed! Things were looking too cluttered, and a lot of items were distracting attention from the most important content… the posts! So this weekend I rolled out a new template, giving a new look and feel to the Scoop, which I think is more fresh and sleek. Tweaks here and there will still be made over the next couple of weeks, until I iron out minor issues. I do apologize if you run into any problem. Of course, let me know about these so I’ll fix them right away.
Comments and feedback about the new look are most welcome!

How to Be a Stylish Wedding Guest
Just as you smile and open the wedding invitation, a sense of dread falls as you see the words "Dress Attire". You start thinking – what am I going to wear??
Here are my simple quick tips to demystifying the code:
- Formal affair: Make an entrance in a sophisticated scalloped dress.
- Semi-formal (after 6pm): Perfect little black dresses will never fail you.
- Semi-formal (daytime): Opt for flirty jersey frocks in everything from earthy browns to vintage prints. To avoid deadly glares, do not wear red or white.
Phew! That was a close one. All eyes are set on the bride – but you’re sure to steal a few glances too!
