Beating the “FAT” Stigma With the Help of Plus Size Clothing
Sep 28th
Just because you are a plus size woman, does not mean you care any less about how you look. More importantly, being a plus size woman does not mean you want to FEEL any less a person because you are carrying extra poundage.
There is an enormous stigma that goes with being overweight. While the general population, which may include your boss, your neighbors, your teachers, your family, and/or your doctors, may try to convince you that you are “bad” because you weigh a little too much, the truth is you are healthy, who cares how much you weigh!
Just because you are overweight does not mean you are any less intelligent, beautiful, charming, or worthwhile!
If you are a plus size woman, trust the ever-rising population of plus size designers to offer you designer plus size clothing that flatters you and your particular physique. Be proud of who you are regardless of your current body weight. After all, your weight is not who you are.
Plus size designers have brought us astonishing and beauty plus size clothing designed to flatter our physique. Quit trying to purchase sizes that are too small; quit shopping at retailers that stop offering sizes at size 14. Relish who you are. Respect yourself. Love yourself.
There are more and more retailers offering plus size clothing up to 3XL, and then there are those that keep on going. Why stop at 3XL?! Some retailers are choosing to carry extended plus size clothing up to 5XL or even 6XL. Times are definitely changing, and the world is viewing the plus size woman with more respect.
Quit using a stigma as an excuse to not purchase the plus size clothing that fits you comfortably. Purchase what you feel good wearing, and enjoy life without worrying what everyone else is thinking about you.
Do not feed into the obesity prejudice that seems to be running rampant these days. Instead, carry yourself tall. Hold your head high. Be proud of who you are. Your weight does not define you as a person. Purchasing plus size clothing that fits and makes you feel the top of your game should be a goal that you always aim for. Because when it comes to looking good, you will feel even better when you like how you look.

To make shopping easier for a plus size woman some general rules apply. My hope is that this will give women an easier way to shop for clothes that are beautiful, stylish and look great.
1) Buy clothing that is really comfortable but also makes you look your best. Absolutely forget the sweat pants and purchase clothes that are just as comfortable and will accentuate your wonderful curves and heighten style like the styles that can be found at Jag Apparel. Make sure your shoes are comfortable but take note that shoes with a heel will make you feel taller and stand up straight which means a great posture which can give a slimming effect. Pay attention to the styles that flatter and fit your shape and look for similar fabrics, styles and shapes when shopping for new clothes. For a comfortable fit for your bra when you wear plus size clothing, remember that your shape can change over time and different sizes may be required at different times.
2) Large handbags are a better choice when you are a plus size woman. They will flatter your shape and balance your look. Shoulder bags can give an overall lengthening effect. Accessorize wisely as to not draw attention to problem areas.
3) Clingy plus size clothing that will distort your figure should be avoided as well as baggy clothes for the same reason. Choose clothes that accentuate the bust with a flattering neckline. Light fabrics, such as crepes, are great for creating a stylish, breezy look. You can also create an interesting look by wearing tops and bottoms with the same shade of color but with different fabrics creating a clean lined look that will contour your body shape.
4) Vertical lines are great to add shape and definition in plus size clothing tops. Do this with great sweater set or blazer with undone buttons as this will also lengthen your shape. As a general rule stay away from horizontal lined clothes as this makes the body appear wider. Balance can be achieved with skirts that are knee length or longer. There are also undergarments available that will create smooth bodylines under your clothes and keep you warm.
For women who fall into the plus size clothing category it is possible to still dress with style, look great, not spend a fortune and be comfortable. Many retailers have realized the need for these types of clothing items and one great place that has it all is Jag Apparel. Putting your own special style together can be fun. Follow the basic rules when shopping for your clothing and your wardrobe will be full of things to wear that will never have you saying” I have nothing to wear”.

Did you know that Jag Apparel carries the plus size designer garments by Piano? Yes, finally the rules have changed, for women who are in the plus size range, as to what looks stylish and figure flattering. Take for example the plus size printed crepe blouse selections now available to choose from. Yes, Plus size women can wear prints!
Many of the crepe blouses from Piano are the perfect addition to completing a truly outstanding outfit! Many of these blouses are collared and button up the front with ease using snap buttons. In these plus size blouse selections the buttons are hidden and feature the extra addition of a strip of ribbon and beading. Crepe falls nicely and has a flattering feminine flair as well as being sheer and can crinkle which creates an interesting effect and makes for easy care.
Some of these garments have accentuated cuffs with ribbon and beading accents to dress things up a bit. These tops are easy to incorporate with your favorite pair of jeans or slacks for a chic, up to date look which can be incorporated as casual wear but flow into the evening without a problem.
Although prints are no longer taboo for plus size clothing, one must make sure that the garments they chose are flattering styles and that the patterns are not too large as well as being placed in areas that do not deserve accentuating. Be careful not to choose plus size clothing that includes prints that stand out compared to the rest of the garment around the middle section if you are trying to down play this area. If you want to accentuate your womanly curves around the bosom area, by all mean choose prints that draw attention to that area.
Plus size clothing has finally come into its own. For the longest time designers seemed to forget that most women wear larger sizes and still want to look fashionable and beautiful. It is long overdue that the times are changing and women who have wonderful curves, as women are supposed to have, are getting choices in clothing other than the horrid past days of the MooMoo.
Today the convenience of the internet has also added to the ease of shopping for plus size clothing that is up with the latest trends but still remains flattering, Now wonderful pieces can be purchased at a reasonable price. There are many plus size designers who understand the needs and wants of women who actually have some curves and offer their designs at affordable prices. Let’s face it; they have realized that women who wear larger sizes make up most of the market these days and those they are the ones spending the money.

Pleasantly women are no longer confined to a limited shopping experience for plus size fashions. Many plus size designers have hit the scene to take the ‘frumpy’ out of plus size clothing and the good news applies to business attire also. There are some ‘must haves’ to begin putting together a basic business wardrobe on a budget.
Larry Levine, one plus size designer that you will find at Jag Apparel offers pant designs and sizes to fit almost any taste from casual to business attire. For your basic business wardrobe you should have at least two basic colored well made pairs of slacks. The trend this fall is for pants to hit just above the ankle or just at the top of footwear. Either length is acceptable. The plus size pants offered by this designer not only are affordable but flattering as well even offering pin stripped designs. Pants from this designer range from fabric mixtures of polyester and spandex (for a great fit) to cotton blends for comfort and ease of care. With an affordable price range, this designer should definitely be included in your fall wardrobe.
For business attire another basic you will want to include is a white blouse. A terrific plus size clothing designer for this type of item is Karen Arnold, also found at Jag Apparel. This piece for the basics of a mix and match business wardrobe is an essential as it can be worn alone with your favorite slacks or under a terrific blazer or sweater. To change up the look of a particular outfit you may want to include blouses of different colors and small sized patterns depending on your budget for your business wardrobe. If you want to change the look of the basic white blouse you may add a plus size scarf or some sort of jewelry accessory.
Sweaters and blazers are going to be big this fall and including sweater or blazer, like the ones offered by Finity and Vezucci, in the makeup of your business attire basics would be a smart idea. When wearing another garment over a shirt, remember that you want the shirt to fit snugly as this avoid bunching that won’t look as flattering.
You may also want to include a two piece cardigan set in a color that will mix and match with the pants in your wardrobe. When budgeting for your wardrobe, the nice thing about a two piece cardigan is that it is bought as a set but can be worn separately as a mix and match piece. Remember, have fun with it and mix it up a little. Shopping for plus size clothing for your business wardrobe no longer has to be a chore and you can also stay within your budget.

Ladies, the good news is that curves are back. Recently I was pleasantly surprised to see such celebrities as Queen Latifah doing print and TV media for beauty products. The same goes for plus size clothing. It is no longer taboo to be over a size 2 and flattering beautiful plus size clothing is becoming easier to find.
Today’s plus-size woman wants to be considered just as fashionable as anyone else, with the same types of clothing to choose from. Plus size clothing options are improving from casual wear to evening wear. Online stores such as Jag Apparel are the best places to find all your plus size clothing needs as you can shop from the comfort of your home and the sizes you need are usually always in stock.
Take for example the Grace Embellished Suit offered by Jag Apparel. This item has stunning added extras that make the garment look like you spent much more on it than you really did. It is offered in a wide range of sizes and would be the perfect ensemble for any dressy occasion. This however is not the only choice to be found for special occasions or for everyday wear as far as that goes. There is much to choose from and prices that you won’t have to take a second mortgage for.
Plus size clothing is changing due to the fact that nearly 50 percent of women wear larger than a size 12 in, this day and age. There are online clothing stores, such as Jag Apparel that understand the need for this every increasing population. In this way one is afforded the convenience of not looking through racks of things that won’t fit anyway, are over priced and not of good quality. When shopping at an online store that understands the needs of women looking for plus size clothing you will find garments that are well made, stylish and affordable.
If you carefully choose the store you are dealing with you can let the internet be your shopping place for all your plus size clothing needs. Make sure to read the return policies, know your measurements and use the size charts that are available. Although it is a relatively new experience to be able to find quality fashionable plus size clothing online, or anywhere else for that matter, one can feel secure and safe shopping online. Take the time to browse to your hearts content through the wide and great selection of styles available from many different plus size designers. You will be able to find bargain close outs, essentials for business, accessories and everything in between. Isn’t it wonderful how smart the clothing industry has become!
