Ladies, just because a size eight better describes your shoe size than your dress size, there's no reason you shouldn't be just as fashionable as those lucky enough to have a super high metabolism. Style exists for women of all shapes and sizes, although, admittedly, it is tougher for those who wear plus sizes.

Fortunately, designers and retailers have taken note, and some, like Silhouettes.com (whose tagline is "fashion starting at size 12W"), are making a real effort to offer fashionable clothes in larger sizes at an affordable price.

This fall, we're all about dresses -- specifically, bold dresses, worn with hot boots and great jewelry. Check out the gallery to see a few we love at Silhouettes right now, and let us know -- do you have a favorite plus-size shop, online or brick and mortar?
