“Plus Size Clothes” It wasn’t too long ago that Plus Size Clothes was the most hideous to shop for and wear. The experience of entering a store to find the Plus Size Clothes was, first, such a dreaded experience, that we big, full-figured, Rubenesque, or chunky ones would opt for the muumuu grandma sent from Hawaii or the hand-me-down sweat pants and plaid shirt grandpa left us in his will.

The entering of a Plus Size Clothes store was up there on the scale of most-dreaded things to do, EVER, up there with or even over going to the dentist. And even dentists were kinder. The sales clerks were (until SOMEBODY got a clue) petite, pretty, and pretty snooty. The would visibly or audibly express their disdain, rolling their eyes or sighing as they had to get off the phone with Johnny Macho to walk us to the special section, obscured way in the back of the store, where very few selections hung tauntingly on a neglected rack.

And our choices were just as appealing. Of the rare selection of Plus Size Clothes were the sparkled, spangled, appliquéd t-shirts, ugly skirts with elastic waist-bands that the makers didn’t bother to disguise, and sleeveless, tacky-printed smocks. Where in the manual of sizes did it read that large women be-decked themselves in glitter? Where was it mandates that the only Plus Size Clothes to be made and sold would be that WITHOUT sleeves, so we could advertise even further the flapping folds of fat? And of all the styles, designers, and designs, how is it that only an elastic band would do for a waist?

Ah, but then a very wise entrepreneurship of a select few caught un that—however unfortunately—there were a huge number of huge women that wore clothes that didn’t flash like a Christmas tree or didn’t look like a garden of curtains. Delta Burke, who went from beauty queen to oversized star for numerous reasons, created a rational line of large women clothing, with pants that had lines and suit jackets that had style. J. Jill, Plus Size, and other markets caught on to the viability of profits in the large women clothing industry. And one god-awful expensive but beautiful and realistic clothing line was offered in malls across the country: Lane Bryant offered nylons and tights that didn’t stop at just below the hips when you put them on, skirts that had a panel waist with buttons running down to the hem and a swirly A-line design that shaped and contoured even the squarest potato body shape. The suits had darts and plackets. The dresses had a subtlety of color combinations and a simplicity of design—without being akin to a Hefty bag.

And so women’s rights takes another large step forward…and we are not forced any longer to squash into spikes or spin and swirl with the sparkle of silver daisies or poppies splayed across a size 22 tee.

“PLUS SIZE CLOTHING”

One of my co-workers is a plus size woman. She wears plus size clothing. She always looks very nice and she has a great eye for color. Her clothes always looked very nice and professional and she has a great skill in accessorizing. She is a person that is confident in her strengths and is not concerned or held back due to her size. She is well liked for her pleasant personality and is pursued for her knowledge.

A few days ago she had on a very nice outfit. She looked especially nice because her stockings were such an unusual shade that complimented the color of her skirt. I asked her where she had found such an unusual color. She told me that she found a great catalog that carried plus size hosiery as well as other undergarments. She originally saw an ad for the company in another catalog. There was a promotion to try a pair of the plus size hosiery. She filled out the form in the ad and received her complimentary plus size hosiery and also a full catalog from the company. She liked the sample pair so well that she has been ordering from the company ever since. She offered to bring in the catalog so that I could see the products. She stated that the company was not limited to plus size hosiery. They carried every possible size.

Ordinarily I do not order things through catalogs because I like to see the quality of the items in person. The plus size hosiery that she wore seemed like it was very high quality. I looked through the catalog that she brought to work for me the next day. The catalog featured every possible color and thickness of stockings as well as trouser socks, walking socks, tights and crew socks. There were also a variety of panties, bras and slips. The catalog had plus size hosiery, but also had many other sizes as well. There were sections for petite women as well as for tall. The thing that I like was that there was a very detailed measuring chart available with instructions on how to measure yourself to make sure that you would get the best fit. Once you do your measurements and send them in they will automatically send you the right size to fit you. The measurements are of your ankles, calves, thighs, hips and waist.

There is also the measurement of your inseam and outer leg length. They have so many sizes to choose from that it is best to send the measurements and the color of the item that you want and let them figure out the size. All of the items are returnable if they do not fit. This is a great way to be more comfortable and to also give all outfits a finished look with the great colors that are offered.

“Plus Size Swimwear”

WRITTEN BY A PLUS SIZE WOMEN WHO WANTED ME TO SPREAD THE WORD…….
It is summer time again which means that people are getting ready for swimsuit season. I have been over weight my entire life and as a result hate buying and wearing swimsuits. I have been wearing the same suit for three seasons. I knew that I would have to go shopping for a suit, but I dreaded the thought. I started in a major department store where I had purchased plus size swimwear in the past. They had a very small selection. They still had the same style suit that I have been wearing for three years for sale. It seems that all plus size swimwear looks the same.

I went to another store that specializes in larger sizes. They had a greater selection, however they specialize in the extra large sizes so their smallest size was too big for me. I told the clerk that I thought all plus size swimwear looks the same. She told me that there is a catalog that has a wide variety of many styles to choose from. She said that they are high quality suits in a mid-range price. I told her that I thought it would be hard to know which size to order through the catalog. She said that the sizing chart is very different. They have half sizes as well as quarter sizes. You measure yourself and then use charts to determine your exact size. She looked up the name of the catalog company as well as the website for plus size swimwear and gave me the information.

I tried two other stores but found the same old styles of plus size swimwear. When I arrived home I looked up the website for the catalog that the sales clerk had been telling me about. There were several pictures of the plus size swimwear as well as cover-ups and other beach wear. There was a form to fill out to request a copy of the catalog.

When I received the catalog I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful selection to choose from. There were many styles and colors. Each suit featured a design to help camouflage a problem area.

The plus size swimwear did have many different sizes. The measuring chart was very exact. You could write down your measurements and what style suit you wanted and have the company figure out your size, or you could write down your size. I sent in my measurements along with the style swimsuit I wanted. I am very pleased with the style as well as the fit. I will be ordering all of my plus size swimwear from this catalog in the future.

“Plus Size Shopping”

Just because you are a plus sized woman doesn’t mean you can’t wear the latest dress styles. It used to be that dress styles in unflattering colors and styles for plus sized women were the norm. Not so now, a plus sized lady, my not have as many clothing choices as her more slender sisters but she still has excellent options. Come with me and I will show where to find the stores that have the dress styles plus sized ladies want.One of the cheapest places to purchase plus sized clothing is Wal-Mart. I know the name has a stigma attached to it, but if you have to look closely, you will usually find at least one or two dress styles you’d like and would want to buy.

Hot Topic has a sister store called Torrid. It’s more expensive than Wal-Mart but has a selection that can’t be beat. You can find dress styles in a Goth, edgy sexy look; at a middle of the road price. This store also has reasonably price foundation garments so critical in getting that put together look. What ever is in fashion this store has it.

Fashion Bug Plus is another leader in the clothing market for curvy girls. Their dress styles tend to be on the fancier side. They also have plus sized ladies undergarments but the quality of the goods were not up to my standards. In addition, Fashion Bug’s prices are a little high, and sometimes the fabric is dry clean only. I will say though, I have found some of my best closet gems in this store.

If you live in a larger city you may be in luck. JC Penny’s plus sized clothing section has a lot of options but I have noticed this is mainly in more populated cities. Not only are the dress styles in good taste at a good price; they are made with quality in mind. If you’re really lucky, some stores even have a plus sized ladies lingerie section. The bad news is, smaller towns still have slim pickings in plus sized women dress styles at JC Penny.

Lane Bryant is one of the leaders in fashionable clothing for full figured women. They have an elegant appeal that many ladies prefer. The one draw back is that the prices are a little high so if money is a concern it’s best to leave the purchases at this store to special occasions and outfits you cannot live without. This store has foundation garments to go with your outfit. Be sure to look at their catalogue as well as they have different selections in their catalogue than they do in the store. This is because the Lane Bryant Clothing store and the Lane Bryant catalogue are actually two separate companies.

If you look carefully you can find fashionable, plus sized ladies dress styles, in many cities.
