In some parts of the country, it's turning pleasantly cool, while in other areas, it's just flat out freezing.

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.

Beth Ditto has signed on to be the new face of Evans, a fashion plus size retail giant. She'll be designing a line of clothes in the size range of 14-32.Filed under: Stores We Love
Becca Peters used to like Old Navy, apparently. So much so, that when she learned from a friend that they were removing the Women's Plus (plus size) section from their stores, she wrote them an email asking why. Their response? The company more or less told her to deal with it, and buy her plus size clothes online.
Becca writes: "it's not fair for us to be pushed aside to the Internet for our shopping needs. We have just as much a right to shop as the skinny girls do."
And an Old Navy spokesperson responds with an email that essentially says "tough luck," and adds: "We will, however, continue to carry Women's sizes 1-20 in our stores."
Oh, so if she'll just lose a little weight, it'll be no problem!
I'm not a plus-sized woman, so I have no idea how difficult it is (or isn't) for bigger women to find stylish clothes that doesn't cost a fortune. However, if it's anywhere near as difficult as Becca makes it sound, I imagine they're about to lose quite a few customers.

Truly romantic clothing is often in short supply for plus sizes. It's as if there is a weight requirement for being girlish.That's not the case at Fashion To Figure where you can find a bunch of cute tops that have a feminine and flirty style. The cotton blouse shown here has a flattering empire waist and eyelet trim and ties in the back. It is very sheer so you will have to wear a camisole or tank top underneath. It sells for $20.Filed under: Clothing
This post on Fatshionista led me to some interesting pictures of a Lane Bryant catalog from the 1930s. Yes, Lane Bryant has been around that long, it was actually started in the early 1900s by one very enterprising lady who found that then, as now, the market for larger fashion was being underserved. The elegant flutter-sleeved dresses for "stout" women sell for under $5 and there are also silk stockings and some very sturdy-looking girdles. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the pics is that until rather recently these types of dresses comprised the bulk of options for larger women.Filed under: Clothing
Browsing around some plus size forums, I kept hearing the name Addition Elle and was curious -- a new plus size fashion outlet perhaps? A few clicks and I was at their website.
