Men never understand why women have a hard time shopping for clothes. What they don’t get is that clothes need to be a perfect fit, in addition be reasonably priced, fashionable and bespeaks our personalities. If “normal” women have a hard time finding the perfect LBD (little black dress), what more the women who belong to the special sizes’ category – petites and plus sized? I belong to the plus-sized category and I am grateful that plus size fashion has grown leaps and bounds the past few years. Before I would cry in frustration how plus-sized clothes seem to cater to the elderly women and not women who have a career and wish to be still trendy!
Shopping online has also saved from countless tears – things are so easily bought online, I just need to make sure I know your current size or check their size chart. Different manufacturers may cut their garments a little differently, so your size may not be the same in all lines of clothing that you look at. Plus I order way before I actually plan to use it to make time for shipping and/or returns.
I have realized a secret though: One secret to women looking so nice, even when a larger size, are the undergarments. Body shapers and shapewear can hide the troubled areas and accent the curves. Women today are in love with their bodyshapers. INVEST ON ONE.
For online stores, check out Fashion by Elvi (http://www.elvi.co.uk/). They currently offer 20% off selected Spring and Summer Collections. I personally like their Nautical Range. (They have the Tuscany, Nautical and Monochrome collection in their Spring-Summer lines)
I am rooting for these: 
The tops are very “classic” nautical clothes. I love the blue piping and the fabric falls softly in the body, draping instead of hunching.
These accessories rock too: 
Great post! I will recommend this to my friends.
