I want to introduce you all to my new friend Brenda Jean. As a stand out on Flickr’s Fatshionista group, with over 100 outfits posted, I couldn’t help noticing her right away as a creatively talented, stylish, young woman.
The fearlessness with which she constructs (and often deconstructs, then reconstructs) the items in her wardrobe, [...]

So you’ve put together the perfect outfit. The dress is right, the jewels are perfect, but there is that one nagging detail that seems to never resolve itself. Those darned narrow shoes. Consigned to flip flops? Relegated to orthodontic shoes? No more!
 Avenue has both women’s clothing sizes from 14-32 AND a crazily large selection of [...]

Plus-size fashion is a subject of passion for BBW Deluxe readers and writers alike, and rightly so. The big women in my sphere are among the most stylish people around, yet they frequently get the short end of the stick when it comes to attractive, afforable clothing in extended size ranges.

Holy “The Boy-Wonder”! What does Batman’s sidekick have in common with fashionable, large, lovely ladies? They both like to shop at Torrid! The next time you want to get your Robin on, don’t forget that you can get these in a variety of colors, including green for the traditionalists.

While I may not know the first thing about fashion, I do keep my eyes open for items of interest which I can pass along to my friends. Fat and Fab Chic offers a wealth of articles and links that I would certainly find helpful if I wore women’s clothing.

“I love Hollister jeans.” I heard a girl chirp in the halls of my local mall. A seemingly innocent remark and one that probably echos in the corridors of malls all around the country. But one that made me cringe. That girl has no idea what I have had to go [...]

I have been Spanxed.  Hard.  And I like it.  Please, Sir, may I have another?  One pair of high-waisted power panties is surely not enough!
If you have never heard of Spanx, allow me to introduce you.  You should become fast friends!  Why?  According to Suze Yalof Schwartz, an editor at Glamour magazine, “They’re like hosiery [...]

I know Victoria’s Secret. Her secret is she doesn’t like big girls. I have never owned anything from Victoria’s Secret, besides fragrance. Reason being, Victoria does not cater to plus-size women. Shame on you, Vicki, shame on you.
Because I am a woman of size, I have [...]
