Season's Hottest Item: Curvy Maxi Dress

Posted by Sarah on May 21st, 2008 | Leave a Comment

What good is a fashion trend if it doesn’t come in your size? This season’s hottest fashion craze is the maxi dress. Thanks to contemporary plus size designer Monif C. curvy women have options when it comes to dressing on trend this summer.

With the click of a mouse, plus size shoppers worldwide can find the most important fashion item this season, the maxi dress, at popular online boutique Cherished Woman. The popular store has recently added new dresses from contemporary plus size fashion designer, Monif C., to their summer 2008 collection.

Founded by former plus size model Nancy Baum, who makes it her mission to seek out the hottest plus size designers for her trendy online boutique so that she and other curvy women can dress just as stylish and fashion forward as their thinner peers. Following fashion forecast reports that indicate maxi dresses are the hottest fashion item for 2008 Baum knew she needed to add the Monif C. label to her collection. “Monif’s dresses are right on trend for this season,” says Baum, “Her flirty and feminine designs combined with superior craftsmanship are a must have for the woman who demands style without compromise.”

In addition to Monif’s sexy plus size dresses, Cherished-Woman.com is also featuring Monif’ C.’s new collection of designer plus size swimwear. The Monif C. swimsuit collection showcases well constructed swimsuits that are as functional as they are stylish. High quality swim fabric lifts, shapes, and contours. In addition, padded bra cups and adjustable leg ties compliment the fashion forward styles on this sexy swimwear collection. Gold tone hardware and exotic beads add fantastic fashion touches. Monif says, “I have been craving the opportunity to design a plus size swimsuit collection. As an avid traveler and unabashed sun and sea worshipper, I needed a swimsuit that reflected my style and need to feel as sexy and feminine as other women on the beach!”

Monif C.’s popular collection is flying off Cherished Woman’s shelves as the demand for contemporary and stylish plus size clothing increases. Contemporary designers like Monif C are helping full-figured women achieve their goal of looking sexy and trendy in a market place that is still promoting muumuus and tent dresses despite customer demand for trendier and more curve-conscious options.

Whitney Thompson is America's Next Top Model

Posted by Sarah on May 17th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

This year’s winner of America’s Next Top Model is ‘plus size’ contender Whitney Thompson. Whitney is curvy, and she is definitely not apologizing for it.

At size 10, Whitney is not the convential girl you would call ‘plus size’, but in the modeling industry she is what is considered plus size. So although by my standards Whitney is slim, I am still glad that she won the contest, another step ahead in the fashion industry perhaps?

Let’s hope we see even more curves on the catwalks and covers of magazines in the future.
