Etsy for Plus Size Clothing
Posted by Sarah on November 21st, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Some of you might not associate the popular site Etsy, with a great place to shop for plus size clothing. But if you take the time to look around the items available from the different sellers on the site you will be very pleasantly surprised! The guys over at Big Fat Deal have known this for a long time in fact, and it’s thanks to them that I’ve discovered some amazing fashion options on Etsy.
I am itching to hit the ‘buy now’ button on many different items. But I will resist! Then again Christmas is around the corner, so I might as well start building up my wish list, and hint to my hubby those dresses and skirt I really cannot live without. So check out Esty, and especially designer JIBRI for some flawless plus size clothing options.
Fat Chic Showcases JustMySize Dress
Posted by Sarah on November 19th, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I was looking around the other day for reviews of JustMySize dresses and I was very lucky in my search as I found out that Diana Rajchel, the creator of Fat Chic has actually created a video review of a dress from JustMySize. In the video she also talks about her very cute teal tights from We Love Colors.
The video review is very helpful in showing you how an actual dress from JustMySize would look on you, so I do hope Diana goes on and creates more similar videos, as I thought it was very helpful… and would come in very handy to other people looking into buying dresses from JustMySize. I hope to add on some video reviews of my own. I’ve just put in an order at Figuresque for some winter plus size tops, which I am hoping to receive soon. One I do receive them, I’ll fill you all in with all the details! So thanks Diana for the super video, and keep up the great blog.
Glamour Gets Curvy Models to Bare it All
Posted by Sarah on November 18th, 2009 | Leave a Comment
You might recall way back in August, Glamour was all over the news and the blogosphere. Everyone was talking about the feature they published on plus size model Lizzie Miller, in which a photo was including, showing Lizzie in her natural beauty. Her belly and thighs were the talk of the town and for all the good reasons! Glamour received various accolades from women all over, and especially from the plus size community. Finally a leading fashion magazine was depicting real women in their full natural glory.
A lot of us thought this was just a onetime thing and that Glamour would forget about real women and real curves, but we gladly were mistaken here as Glamour’s November issue features seven plus size models. In an effort to continue encouraging women everyone to start loving their own bodies the way they are, Glamour has included this beautiful bodies spread in their latest issue. Let’s just hope Glamour continues to include such features on a regular basis. These kinds of issues and discussions should start becoming the norm in leading magazines, and should not be looked at in awe and surprise. This is what women want. So let’s keep on giving it to them.

Jessica Svoboda on her Clothing Line: Tune Into Tuesdays
Posted by Sarah on November 17th, 2009 | Leave a Comment
In this video, created by Capessa.com, we see Jessica Svoboda talking about her very own plus size fashion label SVOBODA. She speaks about why she created her clothing line, and about her frustrations at the lack of plus size clothing available to women in general. Very interesting video to watch, and I have to thank Jessica for creating her line. I think SVOBODA denim especially is of top notch quality and I absolutely love their denim skirts which fit me like a glove. Thank you Jessica for creating SVOBODA!

Hot Evening Wear Looks For Plus Size Women
Posted by Sarah on November 4th, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Finding incredible clothing in plus sizes has grown much easier over the past couple of decades. Finally, there are a number of incredible clothing companies that have realized that not all women are a size two. Today, you can look for a wealth of incredible plus size clothing including evening wear in a handful of retail stores and even more online shopping outlets. You simply have to know what styles to look for and the best ways to shop for your particular size.
Of course, when you are a woman of ample size, it is extremely important that you look for clothing that fits you properly. Having items of clothing that are not quite fitted to your size can cause an unflattering look and also make you feel uncomfortable while you are out for the evening. With a little bit of looking on your part, you can find great dresses and evening wear that will help to accentuate all of your curves and make you look absolutely stunning.
Start by looking at some of your finer features and then make sure that you bring them into the spotlight. Many women who are plus sized end up having a gorgeous bust that can be accented with the right neckline. Additionally, if you have great legs then you can always look to skirts or dresses that are knee length and flare out a bit or even have an enticing slit up the side. Any mixture of these looks are sure to help you put together an amazing evening ensemble that will be suitable for just about any kind of occasion.
When you get ready to go out for the evening, do not forget to dress up your entire look with an accessory or two. The right shawl or scarf can really bring out the top half of your outfit while a great handbag can completely round off the entire look. Never be afraid to go flashy with your jewelry either. Incredible earrings or even a sexy necklace that drapes down your plunging neckline can help you to keep the focus where you want it to be for optimal attention all evening long!
For the shoes, make sure that you wear something that is both sexy and comfortable. There are a number of dress sandals or wedge heels that can really bring together an evening wear ensemble while still keeping you from having to stop and rub your feet several times during the night. All in all, once you shop around, you should be able to put together a number of spicy plus size outfits for just about any kind of evening adventure.
