Plus She

The Pretty Cami

Moe — Sat, 05 May 2012 20:35:01 +0000

Swak Designs came out with a Pretty Cami ($29) this week. It has the spaghetti strips on it so you’ll have to wear a pretty or strapless bra with it but I love how it hangs loose. Unlike traditional basic camis that cling to the abdomen this one has free flowing fabric and as you can see it comes in seven colors (in sizes 1x to 6x) and looks great as is or with a belt. I think it be a hot item for them this summer.

I love that they did not forget about the back of the cami too — with pretty gathers in front and back. I want one in every color!

More U.S. Shops Delivering to Canada

Moe — Thu, 03 May 2012 20:10:36 +0000

Three more plus size clothing shops from the states are offering shipping to Canada: Woman Within, Roaman’s and Jessica London. They are under the umbrella of OneStopPlus which is owned by RedcatsUSA. They also offer PayPal as a payment option which totally makes me happy.

While this is good news there is also some bad (and strange) news to along with that. Not everything they sell is available to international shoppers. i.e. fave brands such as “Aerin Rose, Aerosoles, Alight, Carol Wior, IGIGI, Kiyona, Lafayette 148 New York, Torrid, Ulla Popken, SVOBODA, Sealed With A Kiss Designs (S.W.A.K.), Tafford Uniforms, Reebok, ShoeBuy, handbags, jewelry, fragrances, costumes, home and kitchen, items delivered from the manufacturer, or gift cards & e-gift cards.” It does not say if it is only certain countries or not but it is something worth noting while you are shopping. Now many of these brands already offer shipping to Canada from their sites: Igigi, Kiyonna, Torrid, Ulla Popken, S.W.A.K. but it would have been really convenient to shop them all at one place.

It also looks like that any coupons for discount may not be applicable to Canadians. It has usually been pretty standard for free shipping not to be offered to international customers (although some do) but I am not liking the trend for other discounts not being honored.

I have added them to the list of online shops that offer delivery to Canada because they do have a huge assortment of options in all areas of dressing for plus size women. Have fun exploring these curvy clothing sites.

Jet Setting

Moe — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:59:37 +0000

The Deco pattern on Diane Kennedy’s Jet Set Dress reminds me of a chain link fence but so much better because it is made with 97% Modal / 3% Spandex. Just the right amount of stretch. I found this dress when I was over at Cherry Velvet checking out their new arrives. I like repetitive patterns like this, I find it very pleasing to the eye without making me feel all dizzy if you know what I mean. This dress is perfect as is or the pattern could be broken with a thin belt; with the neutral grey pretty much any bright or white would do. The dress comes in sizes S to 3x. If you are not fond of the pattern but like the style it also comes in solid black or indigo but with a fabric change to bamboo/lycra. Currently selling for $155 at Cherry Velvet.

Addition-Elle Bras and Panties

Moe — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 03:48:48 +0000

Back in February Addition-Elle invited me to the spring launch of their new intimates collection featuring plus model Ashley Graham. Much to my disappointment I was not able to attend but shortly after they sent me a press package which included a coupon for a bra a panty from my local store.

This past weekend I was finally able to make it over to Addition-Elle to check out their lingerie line. I have to say, IT’S FRIGGING HUGE! Seriously, I could not believe how many styles there were for pretty bras and functional bras; both underwire and wire free. I took a few pictures while I was there and of course tried on a few styles.

And that was not all of them.

As you can see from their mannequins many of the pretty bras have matching panties.

Unfortunately many of the pretty panties did not go above 2x. In fact there was a huge amount of 1x and 2x sizing but I did not not find anything larger. Perhaps those sizes just sold out quickly. When I say “pretty panties” I am referring to the lacy ones, not the basic briefs. The bras though had many sizing options to choose from.

I tried on the lacy Femme Fatale and Smooth Curve Underwire Bra (definitely check out this one as its band is really unique) but ended up taking home the Smooth Embrace Underwire Bra in white (with a coordinating white brief) which does not have any molding so will be perfect for summer. I also loved how it covered the back area (I will do a full review posting once I wear it for a day).

The staff of course were friendly and helpful. I think they might have had a few extras on for the customer appreciation day (I have such good timing) they were celebrating with their customers. One of the things they were giving out with purchases were some kick-ass fashion watches — I was given a lovely Michel Studio bracelet watch. This photo does not do the watch justice.

I looked at their website and they still have their buy one get the second 40% off if you are interested.

Blue Poppies and Pussy Bows

Moe — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:38:33 +0000

I love blue poppies! I even tried (unsuccessfully) to plant them in my garden a few years back. So when I saw this large print Blue Poppy Skirt from Kiyonna I got incredibly excited. And it is a pencil skirt no less.

Kiyonna gets better every year with their separates, helping women create professional career looks from day to night. I love the Blue Poppy Skirt paired here with the black Melrose Mesh Top (also affectionately called a pussy bow top). This mesh top comes in other colors and patterns including a lovely leopard and a most awesome black with mini white polka dots

The skirt is $74 and the top is $64. Both are available in sizes 10 to 32.
