[...] from the different sellers on the site you will be very pleasantly surprised! The guys over at Big Fat Deal have known this for a long time in fact, and it’s thanks to them that I’ve discovered [...]

@Wish – that’s the beauty of custom made clothes! Granted, you may want to choose a different style than some one who’s classic hour glass, but custom made clothes will fit you well, which always looks good. I figure that a well-fitting pencil skirt looks good on everyone, regardless of the ratio between your waist and hip size.

Those are lovely, but I wonder if there are resources for people like me, who don’t have that much ballyhooed “hourglass shape”. I have kind of an awkward body shape, and none of these clothes would look good on me. But I really would like to be a bit more fashion forward. Right now I just hide in hoodies and jeans, with my beat up Chuck Taylors. Which is actually a look I enjoy, but sometimes it would be nice to feel like a real live grownup woman.

Bikinis: Lands End has a surprisingly good selection of plus size and inbetweenie size suits, I check out their clearance every summer, and end up buying something every other year, their stuff LASTS. This year I have gained some weight from a medication, so I ordered a couple of different styles in the two sizes I figured I was between, in both tankini and bikini variations. My husband voted IMMEDIATELY for the bikini versions. I have to squee over a set of lingerie I just bought from Cacique/Lane Bryant: Red Plaid Ruffles I'm Scottish, and my husband and I have been keeping an eye out for something along these lines for years. I think he was a bit bummed when we met that I didn't already have a cute plaid lingerie set!

I loved the bikini! The dresses and tops were not me but they look great on the models :)

I bought a tankini and wore it this summer for the first time sans t-shirt of shame cover-up. OK so maybe if I did have the t-shirt on I could have avoided turning into lobster girl for the rest of the summer (pale scottish skin and sun is no bueno) but I felt good enough about myself for the first time in years to do that and I had a ball.

I love seeing more clothes that are flattering to women with curves out there. When I was a fat teenager I had to shop in plus size shops that only had grandma worthy clothes. Imagine how cool I was. Yeah.

Love, love, love the stuff out now! <3 Someday I hope to be able to go into a store with cute things and not leave bummed out because the only thing that would possibly fit me is a pair of socks.

Seriously, that bikini?

The model’s breast is hanging out of the product on both sides (armpit and center chest) and the fit is so poor that the string is around her torso and not around the underbreast where a bikini (or a bra) should sit.

Points for the thought, but the execution leaves something to be desired.
