Buying Plus Size Clothing Online
High Street Shopping for plus size clothing can be a frustrating experience. There are only a handful of shops that are dedicated to curvier women, most high streets shops have token plus size sections which generally aren’t very inspiring.
The main problem with shopping for plus size clothing on the high street is the options available. In the past, plus size clothes have tended to be drab, loose clothes intended to hide the larger figure rather than celebrate those curves! Fashion didn’t come into it, but times are changing. Nowadays more high street retailers do offer plus size clothing ranges but there is usually a limited selection, and what is available seems to be larger versions of existing items. This is a common mistake that clothing retailers often make. Just because you’re plus size does not mean that a dress made for a size 10 figure will work as well in size 18.
Comfortable and stylish plus size lingerie can be difficult to find in the high street simply because many stores don’t offer large cup and chest sizes or styles that flatter fuller busts. It’s also a little dispiriting to try on plus size lingerie and other garments in a high street shop. The mirrors and lighting are usually far from flattering at the best of times and if you’re self-conscious it can be difficult to ask for assistance, leaving you tempted to rush out with the first thing you try, or just give up altogether!
However, when it comes to buying plus size lingerie and other clothing, the situation is improving. There are fashionable and well-made clothes and lingerie for curvier ladies out there, and there is a more relaxing and enjoyable way to buy them. Online!
Online shopping has so many advantages for women in search of plus size clothing. There are a wide selection of online stores aimed at plus size and curvier women and many of these have taken care to provide ranges that cater for lots of different body shapes. You’ll be able to find plus size clothing in petite and tall versions, for example, and most online stores will have a wider range of sizes than on the high street. Online retailers who cater especially for curvier figures understand. Read the rest of this entry »
Eco-Friendly Swimsuits

Does this make my butt look big? Are vertical or horizontal stripes slimming? Am I falling out of this top? Widespread questions when facing the dreaded three-way mirror in a two-piece, but do you ever stop to ask if your suit is biodegradable. Possibly not, but if designer Linda Loudermilk has her way, you certainly will start.
At Swim Week at Miami Beach, Loudermilk introduced what she calls the world’s first fully compostable bathing suit developed from a plant starch that has been turned into a fabric. While that may make some girls a bit nervous about diving into the water wearing a suit that is created to dissolve, Loudermilk assured onlookers that the suit won’t begin to decompose until it is buried in the dirt at which point it is going to break down within 180 days.
Loudermilk joins a movement of “eco-couture” designers who are consciously deciding to utilize sustainable materials including wood pulp, hemp, bamboo and recycled plastic bottles or repurposed materials such as military parachutes rather than conventional synthetic textiles. Producing swimwear makes perfect sense – if you’re spending the time to appreciate Mother Earth in all its oceanic splendor, you might as well take a moment to see if you’re simultaneously destroying it with the clothing you wear.
