Watch Out for the Missphit Spring/Summer Collection
2008-02-25 11:00:00
I have just been given a sneak peek into what is coming up Missphit's Spring /Summer 2008 collection, and I must say I am impressed!Ever since I was introduced to the Missphit clothing line I was immediately impressed at their attention to detail, style and most of all quality. And as time passes by the Missphit line continues to impress me as it grows and matures to include more and more designs. Their styles are up to the minute, and most of all figure flattering.I can't wait to show you what's in store for you ladies from them, but you'll have to hang on a while longer!Curvy Tip Remember, you can look up the plus size clothing store to suit all your needs at http://www.pasazz.net - visit the directory and pass the link on to your friends!

See 'Fat Pig'
2008-02-23 21:29:00
If you live in the Salem, Oregon area, then you might be interested in going to see Neil LaBute's latest play entitled 'Fat Pig' which opened last week at the Salem Repertory Theatre. As the StatemanshJournal.com reports, LaBute chose this title precisely to make us feel guilty just by saying the name of the play, and therefore getting us into the whole mood of the play. Director by Rhett Luedtke this play toys with our sympathies, engages our emotions and keeps us off balance in this romantic comedy/drama about an uncertain young man and his plus-size girlfriend.This play will be showing until 2nd March, 2008. Find out more about it and purchase tickets for the show if you're interested. I'd love to go and watch, but obviously I am way out of the area. If you happen to actually go and see this play, please let me know about it and how it was by commenting below!Curvy Tip Remember, you can look up the plus size clothing store to suit all your needs at http://www.pasazz.net - vi...

Ideal Stores for Mother of the Bride
2008-02-22 14:20:00
The NewsObserver.com carried a plus size related fashion Q & A recently, which I wanted to point out to you ladies, as I am sure it will come in handy to some. In this feature, Jane is asking for some tips on choosing the perfect plus size mother of the bride dress. Fashion writer Deborah Friedman answers responds to her dilemma and suggest taking a look at jackets from Nordstrom (within their plus size department), as well as items from Belk at Carbtree, Eileen Fisher, Karen Kane, Anne Klein or Ralph Lauren. These are great suggestions, though I would like to add my own two cents to this. Sydney's Closet has a wonderful 'Mother of the Bride /Groom' section within their online store, which includes some beautiful choices. So Jane, if you are reading this, do take a look at this collection as well, as you might find the perfect outfit here, at a great price.

5 Core Pieces For The Ultimate Plus Size Wardrobe
2008-02-21 12:15:00
The following is a guest post by Sara Johnson. Several fabulous core pieces are essential for any fashion maven's wardrobe and for plus size women the devil's in the details...The selection of a few core pieces, that most importantly fit one's body and work harmoniously with one's lifestyle will carry their wearer seamlessly through any occasion. The following are five absolute "Must Haves" in your plus Size wardrobe. A Good Bra: When the girls are drooping or bulging out of your current bra, you look heavier regardless of your size. 60% of American women wear the incorrect bra size, which while aesthetically unpleasing, more importantly "especially in larger busted women" means many are subject to shoulder, neck and back pain/chaffing/skin abrasions. Get fitted by a professional! Nordstroms has knowledgeable staff and free fitting services, or visit a local lingerie boutique in your area.

Why Some Boutiques Don't Carry Plus Sizes
2008-02-20 14:30:00
I read an interesting blog post by style editor Kim Crowe today, which gives plus size women and retailers in general, some food for thought. Kim has recently been following some boutique owners around as they select merchandise for late spring/early fall deliveries. Out of the many retailers she has seen, most of them do carry their items in XXL or size 16, but unfortunately only one retailer was one which you would call totally plus size oriented. What's happening is that plus size people don't actually know that these sizes are available in these particular places, so they simply do not go to these boutiques. As a consequence, the retailers simply assume that there isn't a market there for them! As Kim suggests, what this boils down to is merely mis-communication, or actually lack of communication. What happened to good old market research, and investing in some effective marketing? These retailers need to look around an realize that, yes, the market is there. But plus size...

Communion Dresses: What Do Plus-Size Girls Wear?
2008-02-19 14:15:00
The following is a guest post by Janet Donahue. Communion dress shopping season is upon us. This can be a really fun time, but it can be extremely stressful too. Every year we see one group stand out as the most stressed - the mothers of extra-fluffy girls. (Our customers have expressed appreciation for our term of "extra fluffy" over and over again. It's a little less insulting and better descriptive.) These families soon found out when shopping that there are many Communion dress choices for the typical girl who wears a size 6, 7 or 8 - even a 10. Every manufacturer of girls' dresses turns out white Communion dresses for the spring season in these sizes. But not all girls are these sizes. In fact, our experience tells us that a very large percentage are not! Who is the extr-fluffy girl? She is the one who is wider than most her age. Dresses that are the right length are too snug across the chest and waistline. She is not necessarily taller (though she might be, bu...

Hawaiian Plus Size Line Launched
2007-11-27 14:20:00
Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirts has been on a quest to produce fashionable Hawaiian shirts that slenderize the large and lovely woman, and their goal has finally been achieved. Wave Shoppe's quest started around a year ago when they received several requests from women who were looking for Hawaiian themes shirts to fit their fuller figure. They received several comments like “I really love the shirts on your website but I need a larger size,” or “I am going to a party and can’t find a shirt to fit me anywhere”. After several such phone calls and emails were received, Charles and Peggy at Wave Shoppe decided to move forward and offer shirts for plus sized women. First they started working on finding a pattern maker that had experience in making plus size Hawaiian shirts for women.  After several lengthy meetings and sifting through test patterns, the perfect combination was chosen and samples were sewn up. At this time Charles and Peggy had several ...
