Standard Size for Plus Size

With the ebb and flow of trends, popular clothing shapes change, but there is usually some style that big girls can wear, regardless of what the tag sizes. Currently, with many loose, billowing shapes happening, there are many yummy-tummy options being sold. Here are my favorite pieces of the moment that can be worked into wardrobes of ladies of all sizes!

Loose Snag Tunic $48

I know that some ladies (and gents!) are unsure of how to style these or are afraid that they will make you look "bigger". There are plenty of ways to adjust shapes that don't require a needle and thread. Here are my favorite ways to add definition to a loose top/dress.

Belt - Cropped Vest - Cardigan - Jacket - Hoodie - Scarf (tied wherever feels best) - Layered Tank Top - Safety pin the back (an interesting pinning could ENHANCE the design)

And the best advice of all: stop worrying about it making you look bigger and work that flow-y business!!

  3. I think this is great. Lots of plus size girls don't know that over-sized clothes are everywhere and there are so many cool options!!! They should know that there are other options besides "Plus Size" clothing stores. Thanks for putting this concept on blast!!!

  4. PrettyP - I think it's also a matter of fear...S-L sections can be pretty intimidating for some plus girls. Hopefully by talking about it and giving the concept some visibility, they will feel empowered to give it a shot!
