Now, where have we heard this story before?
Jezebel highlighted this Los Angeles Times story and it reminded me that I had not featured plus-size fashions in a while. I have featured plus-size from Igigi, Kiyonna and Nordstrom before and the very first 55 Q&A I did was with Yuliya Zeltser, the designer behind the plus-size clothing line IGIGI where I told her how I I felt "too big" for regular stores and "too small" for plus-size stores.
I asked a few questions in my comments in the Jezebel article, but I think they got lost in the crowd. One of the commenters complained about cheap fabrics and high prices in many plus-size lines and I would like your thoughts on it. I have included what I think are some nice picks from, once again, Igigi, Kiyonna and Nordstrom. If you would like to recommend some quality (fabric, design) plus-size lines, let me know in the comments*. If you've been on this site long enough, you know the price range is flexible so let me in on lines in every price category.

What a lovely collection of dresses for plus size women. I totally agree with you. Over size women can be fashionable too. Now the market is open for then and designer coming up with dresses which add on style with giving them a slim look.
