Are there stores like that around today? Very high end designer clothes with super luxe fabrics, including leathers & suedes and lots of (tasteful) specialty items with beading for plus sizes. Not the cheap leather some plus size stores use but really fine quality, buttery Italian leathers. Sure, the prices were astronomically criminal, but they owned the market. There was no other store to my knowledge like it. They could pretty much charge whatever they wanted...and did! :) However, if you had a wedding or special occasion to attend and didn't mind indulging $700-$2,000 for a drop-dead outfit, they were the answer and you were guaranteed to walk into your event looking and feeling fabulous. It's shocking that there are no other retailers like this today...I know it's a small market that can actually afford these clothes but considering they'd have no competitors, they would walk away with 100% of the business. If Neimans and other high end retailers still have buyers, why wouldn't these stores? SOMEONE PLEASE BRING BACK LUXURY for the chubbys!!! :) Does anyone remember The Forgotten Woman?

Over the years I've gotten larger. There are plus size women who exercise. I walk 2-1/2 miles each day, ride my bike 4 to 6 miles per day and work out with light weights in my living room. When a girls is 18 and plus size, and believe me there are genetics involved, she must be able to dress as great as her peers. Self esteem is a must for everyone. Part of the answer may involve a weight revolution BUT until that occurs the best way to bring up the quality of clothing and offering to the plus size market is to ask for better and more. Cheap clothing stores sell cheaply produced products. Buy the best clothiing you can afford. Take care of the clothes and write letters to the stores. Everyone deserves the choice of purchasing attractive clothing. A great way to start is for companies to include their plus size lines on the racks in selected stores and place those sizes right along the regular size clothing. Having seperate stores is a part of the problem. Personally I hope one day to be thinner but until that days comes I'll keep exercising and eating wisely (most of the time) and dressing as well as possible.

This is fashionable stuff made to flatter our size. The clothing made me take a second look and a third. Yes it is a bit pricy but in the long run when one is large better quality clothing looks better. Save you money and purchase a few great pieces - or buy online at sales. that is the Limited's line of plus size clothing and well worth the price. This is fashionable stuff made to flatter our size.

For GREAT fitting jeans I found some at Coldwatercreek (they have low waisted jeans -- quite low) and the fabric is great. One can also have jeans made to size at a couple of web sites. If you are young or dress young you will have to search through the sites BUT you can find young clothing. Women's plus size clothing is for the most part, ugly and looks as though the real idea in the design is not flattering one's figure. The stores I've mentioned above do a good job of flattering our figures and providing quality.

I just opened a store in Asheville NC that sells new and pre-owned plus fashions and it's very hard to find things that are trendy, but not too young looking. It's also difficult to find wholesale items in sizes larger than 3X. If/once the store makes a profit, I may look into designing, but finding a manufacturer in the US seems impossible. Wish me luck.
