I've watched the ebb and flow of designers efforts to create a collection that represents their signature style but adapts to the demands fitting plus size women require.
This collaboration with Lane Bryant is the second time around for Donna Karan. Her first attempt several years ago bombed at Bloomingdales. I was so disappointed that she couldn't seem to get it right, since her original mission was to dress real women.
Everyone deserves a second chance, so perhaps the folks at Lane Bryant will coach her team along as we respond with purchases...or not.
The shirtdress has a lot of possibilities. As for jeans, I'm not sure that we really care anymore who makes the jeans as long as we have choices to work with. I was surprised to see the line is lacking something a bit sexier. Well, dip your toe in the water to gauge the temperature, right?
