With the advent of more current and flattering fashions available for larger women, these consumers are happily discovering that some of those “don’ts” from years past no longer apply. As in, “I can’t wear that because it’s belted,” or “I can’t wear that because it’s a geometric print.” Maybe those styles weren’t available before, or perhaps someone once decreed that larger women shouldn’t wear belted styles, but that was then.
Larger women do not all have the same figure type, and that is news to a lot of clothing makers. Like smaller sized women, women who wear plus size fashions have different needs according to the particulars of their figure. Plus size fashions no longer relegate women to dowdy, frumpy, “old lady” clothes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with style if you’re bigger than a size 14. You might amaze yourself with how hot you look in styles you never thought would work.
