"The average U.S. woman, who's 162.9 pounds and wears a size 14, is treated like an anomaly by apparel brands and retailers -- who seem to assume that no one over size 10 follows fashion's capricious trends." Emili Vesilind, Los Angeles Times, March 01, 2009

I'm having Deja Vu!
ReplyDeleteI had just sent an email a few days ago to my other favorite fashion blogger (wwepw.blogspot) saying how I sometimes daydream that the 2 of your would team up to bring Emma Pillsbury style to all body shapes. And it started as a response to THEIR FTF GIVEAWAY! Like I said, deja vu.
Could it be? Have the stars aligned? Are the Gods that kind? (& by Gods I actually mean fashion goddess bloggers like you & Danielle over at WWEPW)
YAY!! Stuff for us normal sized girls ;) I love the site - never been to the store before. I loved the Plaid Tunic with the drop waist the most.
ReplyDeleteyay! cant wait for more on this topic!
ReplyDeletei like their chiffon tops. they would be great paired with a cardigan and belt. the draped cardigan also caught my eye.
I luv this and can't wait to hear more about this subject. As a plus sized woman myself it might be a pick me up!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow--never been to the site, but glad you posted about it! I really like the Boatneck Tunic with Braided Belt, but was hard-pressed to pick just one item!
ReplyDeleteOoh. I love that coral ruffle chiffon blouse.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this series! I'm still hanging on to my baby weight, and coming to terms with the fact that these curves may stay for awhile.
I'm trying to embrace them, but it sure is difficult when cute, well-fitting clothes are so hard to find!
As a full figured Mama I flaunt my curves with a baby on one hip and another holding my hand. Help! I need some fashion expertise.
ReplyDeleteOH HAPPY DAY! I have been hoping for a full figured post from your fabulous site! I am always sending links to my fellow curvy girls when I find great fashion or fashion advice, and CE will be one of those today. One of my favorite webistes is eShakti.com, if you have not taken a look, its a gem- and now I have Fashion to Figure to add to my link list thanks to you :). My fave on F2F- the Rose Sublimation Chiffon Top- gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI follow CE!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to show my mother Fashion to Figure.
I would love to win this giveaway as a Christmas present for my mom. She has horrible self-esteem issues because of her weight, and has described herself many times as your post title: Invisible. She needs some cute clothes!
I really like the kimono print dress!
ReplyDeleteHow do I flaunt my full figure? I don't know that I do. But I try not to hide in frump.
I am a follower of Cardigan Empire . . . love it!

Ok.. I narrowed my items of desire down to three.. Stretch Zip Front Top, Striped Longsleeve Tee w/Draped Vest, and V-Neck Sequin Front Top!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the assemmetrical swirl-tee. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI flaunt my full figure by not squeezing into shirts that fit "before" I was breastfeeding twins.
ReplyDeleteWhich means I need to update my shirt repertoire. With the Ruched Sweater with Floral Collar Detail.
And I'm a follower!
I love the floral print chiffon blouse!
ReplyDeleteLots of cute items on this website--would love to try their skinny jeans as I've been afraid of them thus far. Clicking to follow Cardigan Empire now!
ReplyDeleteI wear what I like, what makes me feel happy.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower
LOVE the Hacci Tunic Sweater with Double Belt
Oooo! I love this! I follow you and your tips are always so helpful but this is just my cup of tea!! I need help dressing my full-figure!
ReplyDeleteI love color and it's a must have.
I love your blog so much. You have such a lovely way of phrasing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI flaunt my plus sized figure by always dressing for who I am today not for who I will be in 3 months when I lose some random number of pounds.
And finally I love the Floral Scarf Print Charm Blouse on "The Fashion to Figure" site.
I dress by focusing on my assets, which are my bustline and eyes. When I wear certain colors, especially turquoise, my eyes become the most noticeable thing in the room.
ReplyDeleteI'm really digging the jersey ruffle halter maxi dress.
