I found a really great site for plus size formal wear. I know that finding beautiful gowns in a plus size can be hard. So I thought I would share this site: http://www.plussizebridal.com/

As you can see they also have plus size wedding gowns, brides maid dresses, etc..

I like to promote sites like this because they actually use Plus size models to showcase their clothing.

If you have the need for formal wear…please check out their site!

If you haven’t already stumbled acrossed www.Cherished-Woman.com you should go there and check out some of the designer clothing they carry! They have some fabulous things!

In the past plus size women were given limited options when it came to dressing like their thinner peers. But thanks to national body image campaigns like the popular Dove Girls and the emergence of plus size celebrities like Nikki Blonsky of Hairspray, Mo’Nique, and American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, plus size women are embracing their curves. Their new confidence has created a demand for trendy plus size clothes that has women’s plus size apparel sales soaring to over 76B this year, up from 60B last year. Read more »

Plus-size modeling promotes ‘real’ body shapes where models wear a size 12+. Their work encompass every aspect of the modeling industry: from fashion shoots and major campaigns promoting products on skin care, make-up and hair products to lingerie and swimsuits.

With over 60% of women being size 12+, curvy models are in demand and plus-size girls now forge fabulous careers and travel the world working for international clients.

** Why consider a career in plus-size modeling? **

Think of the clothes, the fun, the travel and an opportunity to work in a glamorous and exciting industry. Plus, it’s really rewarding to represent a new, and more representative, body type where ‘phat’ has a whole new meaning! Read more »

Ok so being volumptuous has its challenges…

One I recently had to face was buying a swimsuit. I have promised my girls a vacation to the beach this summer and I am not going to be wearing shots and a tshirt while there! So I set out to find me an affordable, sexy swimsuit.

I was a little disappointed at first. I couldn’t believe that some places are charging nearly $200 for a plus sized swimsuit! Read more »

New York’s Full-Figured Fashionistas Now Have a Boutique to Call Their Own

Wednesday, May 02, 2007……….Join us on Saturday, May 5th, 2007 from 1pm – 8pm for the Grand Opening Celebration of Lee Lee’s Valise, a boutique which only caters to the fashion conscious average-sized American Woman (12 – 24).

I found another great website. I haven’t had the chance to order from them yet to see if their sizes are true to size. (meaning when you order your size it actually fits like it is supposed too versus being to small or to big)

I love the style of clothing that they carry. Check it out:
