More, Bigger, Better: The Options Are There

There's been a lot of sudden interest in the sales of plus size clothing. When slim women stop shopping, the large size brigade doesn't give up.
We're very resourceful, improvising, which helps us to actually take a few risks, and looking everywhere, under every rock, all the time, for clothing we want and need, when we need it. (Ever try to find a bathing suit in a size 20 in October?)
I was on the retail speaker's trail in the nineties, when retailers still had money, I did shop in stores, but I still couldn't find everything I needed, head to toe, in a big department store. But don't you think that this lament is true from all women, regardless of size?
The internet opened up a lot of opportunity for entrepreneurs, fashionistas and everyone in between. The shopping has never been better.
The Huffington Post had a link to this round up of great sites to visit for plus size style.
One thing you should always have is a great white shirt! Photo of plus model and author, Katie Arons, from my stylist portfolio for BBW magazine, circa 1992.
