What to wear? What to wear? Is the question on every girls mind before she goes to bed at night and when she wakes up in the morning. Well for the fabulous and curvy ladies out there, we finally have options!
You may have noticed that this spring and summer many retailers have stepped up their game when it comes to plus size fashions. In the past it has proven hard work to even find clothing in plus sizes that looked great on a woman. Especially, if she wanted trendy, fashionable, and in style pieces. Most times the clothes that were displayed were for older demographics and the retailers failed to represent the younger generations.
Just because a woman shops in the plus size clothing department doesn’t mean she’s looking for lace on every shirt collar, tiny flowers on everything, and elastic waistband pants. Women with more curves and hips are just as interested in fashion and exploring their femininity through style as their smaller counterparts. It has been an injustice to the plus size community for years as to the struggle to find fashionable and quality clothing at reasonable prices was virtually nonexistent.
Now companies like Old Navy and Target are doing their part to provide trendy plus size fabrics in an array of styles and colors. As curvier women start to express themselves and embrace their curves the demand for fashion that fits and looks great has overwhelmingly rose. Now women feel comfortable trying styles that maybe they wouldn’t have, thanks to creations like Spanx along with other slimmers and tights that are available now.
This summer plus size women are in the majority when it comes to sporting the latest styles, shoes, and accessories. Lane Bryant has really taken the plus size community by storm with their new Spring/Summer 2011 catalog. The styles are fresh, new, and breathtaking. With so many interchangeable pieces you can transition from work, to casual, to nightlife seamlessly. Also, their sister company Cacique is a great place to find undergarments and lingerie in all different colors, prints, and fabrics.
Another great find for lingerie without breaking the bank is HipsandCurves.com. This website seems to provide a vast collection of lingerie and novelty items at a great price. Other great retailers like Ashley Stewart, Avenue, and Torrid carry clothing and undergarments that not only compliment, but flatter the fuller figure woman.
Have fun with the new prints, patterns, and accessories that are available. The websites to great plus size shopping including the retailers mentioned above are listed below. There’s a wide range of sites on the web that cater to the full figured woman and not all are listed here. A few ofthe mainstream, “in your neighborhood stores” are represented here. I encourage you to look on the web for the other awesome sites that carry plus size merchandise.
