Plus Size Clothing for Women

Sexy Plus Size Lingerie Popularity is Exploding

Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions women have is if they wear plus size clothing, they shouldn't wear lingerie. Nothing could be further from the truth. Plus size women are just as beautiful and attractive as skinny women and plus size lingerie is just as sexy as skinny size lingerie.

Gone are the days of flannel gowns and floor-length robes. Today's plus size lingerie gives women a vast array of styles, fabrics and colors. From silky camisoles to sexy nighties, and tantalizing teddies to rhinestone encrusted thongs, plus size lingerie is available to suit your every need.

Bodystockings are a popular choice in plus size lingerie. These curve-enhancing garments have the ability to tuck in "problem" areas and enhance other assets; i.e.; breasts and buttocks. Bodystockings are generally made from fishnet, mesh or lace. They cling in all the right places, and have the magic ability to make clothes fit better.

Plus-size prom dresses get ahead of the curves

A 51-inch waist plus 58-inch hips used to equal "staying home" for prom.

Which is why Phyllis Brasch Librach left a journalism career to found Sydney's Closet in 2003. Her Web site and suburban St. Louis store carry special-occasion dresses size 14 to 44 -- to give curvy girls, like her own daughter, a no-more-tears shopping experience for prom.

"These plus-size teens have more choices than ever for everyday wear," Librach said, including chain stores such as Torrid and Avenue. "But the last frontier for fashion-conscious shoppers remains finding plus-size dresses for special occasions. You can go out and find a black beaded jacket with a skirt and top that looks like a grandma would wear it. But plus-size teens just want the same styles that their friends are going to wear."

What Body Type Are You

Anyone that loves to shop for clothing knows that just because you are a size 18 at one clothing store doesn’t mean you are going to wear a size 18 at another clothing store. It can be very frustrating. Something that may be helpful is trying to figure out what type of figure you have. Below is a very helpful guide to help you figure that out. This guide will help when buying clothes at different clothing chains.

The Four Basic Shapes:
There are four basic body types used to communicate about fashion. Understanding your frame is helpful as a reference for creating an overall silhouette and the garment fit that will be most naturally flattering to your figure.
While your measurements will change over a lifetime, your fundamental body shape is a combination of bone structure and genetics that won't.
The Pear-Shaped Figure: The pear-shaped figure is the most common female form.
· Your upper body is noticeably smaller than your lower body.
· If you were to gain five pounds, four of them would go to your hips and thighs.

What Size Do I Wear?

Why can’t we have a sizing chart that all the designer’s go by? If you are a plus size woman, you know what I mean. I know what size I wear, or I thought I did. So why is it that every time I go into a clothing store I have to try on 2 or 3 different sizes to make sure the clothing is going to fit. The best way to get a great fit is to know your measurements. Before your next shopping trip, measure the following areas: bust, waist & hips. Use the chart below to find your size.
