Plus Size Designers - Old And NewI've been complaining a long time about the scarcity of dressy, fashionable clothes for us full figured women. The designers are hearing us! A lot of established names are expanding their lines and there are some brand new entrants appearing on the scene. That's all very healthy. Now the retailers have to catch up a bit, by presenting a wide selection and featuring variety in fabrics, colors and designs. More advertising dollar spent on our category would help. Enough rant. Here are the established names I trust in the design field: Eileen Fisher, Ellen Tracy, Anna Scholz, Spencer Alexis, Lafayette 148, Dana Buchman, Marion Rinaldi and Gala Bentley.
Some of the newer ones include IGIGI, Abbey Z., eShakti, Monif, Vicky Vi Boutique, and the Kingley & Posh Boutique. If you are not familiar with the names, here is a dress from La Grande Dame by Anna Scholz to whet your appetite. Stunning, flattering dress. The beautiful blue hydrangea print complements every skin color and the double silk georgette feels luxurious against your skin. The touch of elastane in the fabric guarantees a custom fit. This dress is on pre-order (scheduled to be delivered between 2/15 and 3/15). The quantities are limited. Priced at $531. Here is another by the same designer. A Bow Button Cotton Shirt Dress by Anna Scholz. It has a cute, tie front neckline and a flattering button front. The fun poppy print will delight you. The Ada wrap belt with it completes the look. Pre-order and quantities limited. Priced at $305.
