Plus Size Girls, show us your outfits!

[WaterMe]

Hi everyone! I just wanted to drop by and say that although I'm not plus size, you ladies are serious style inspirations here! It's hard when I receive catalogs (ahem j.crew) and feel self conscious about my size/height. You ladies prove that wrong - over and over again!

Major props to everyone here, and keep workin' it!

Oh, and hi to Nova_girl - I remember you from the running thread (I've recently started posting again)

^^I second that, I always check this thread for ideas, being on the larger end of "normal." I find that bigger girls with style have a better sense of flattering cuts and fabrics.

gucci- I've been dressing bummy lately but when I wear something that's post-worthy I'll definitely take pictures for you guys!

Hi WaterMe! I think I just replied to your post over on the running thread lol.

Yes, that's exactly why I read this thread too! Of course, if you're built like a twig, you could wear a voluminous trash bag and make it look "fitted." Not all of us can do that (or want to, to be honest haha).

I find that the most flattering cuts are usually empire waist or similar, and v necks (I have a shorter,wider neck than I'd want).

Any plus size girls here find any luck with maxi dresses? I find so many of the fabrics are way too clingy for my tastes!

No luck with maxis yet over here - the way I carry my weight (belly belly belly) makes all of them look like lumpy maternity dresses on me. I have high hopes for one I just saw in the latest LB mailing though.

I kinda don't wanna buy any clothes for awhile because I just renewed my gym membership and even if I don't lose a LOT of weight, I'd like to get back to my starting-college size (18) and don't want to have a closetful of barely worn 22s and 24s. Although I probably shouldn't put the cart before the horse with worrying about that one.

Ive just been out in the sun for an hour

Another cute outfit MI!

[Veelyn]

I LOVE that coral dress MI! Is that a tattoo on your shoulder? Cute!

Cindy- Looking fab! Love all your bags.

[MissIndependent]

Thank you both

Veelyn: Yup, I have a small heart on my shoulder and two other tattoos

[Veelyn]

Thats a really cute little tattoo idea. I really like it!

Sorry that it took so long to post this picture. I broke my foot (hence the lovely boot) and ended up leaving town for awhile to stay with my mom.

This is one of the dresses that I ordered from the Faith 21 line. The other one is REALLY short and I am not sure that I will wear it as a dress. I will try to post a pic later this week to get your opinions.

I normally wear a 14-16 but ordered this dress in the 2x. It was a bit big but ended up shrinking enough after the first washing that I like the way it fits.

MI & CJ - the color of both dresses are awesome! You guys look great!!! Perfect for summer

Sorry about your foot CJ... but you're rockin' that boot

Gypsy 05 Maxi dress works for me.
