Big Girl Conference: Let your voice be heard!

It is time to start calling these companies out about the manufacturing of plus size clothing. It is 2008. We should have better choices. I am calling out a few companies I feel could be doing a better job.

other big girl names hmmm juicy, fluffy, plump :) i love Phatgirl ( Pretty Hot And Tempting) i hear you im always looking for cute clothes for clubs but i have had alot of luck at fashionbug and i shop online fashion bug, Avenue is also a great place to shop. kelley

[AtlantaSistah]

I guess it is about persoanl choice. I would not shop at Avenue or Fashion Bug if they were the last places on earth. The clothes are square and wide. That is not my shape. But luckily I have been finding great choices lately. And I am losing weight.

Lane Bryant is THE WACKNESS! i hate their old lady fade into the background clothes.Torrid- is little bit ok

But Attention all Fat Girls or Big Girls!!!!

You should check out Beth Ditto's New Range for Evans! OMG! its edgy its cool its contemporary

I dont care about looking large or larger than i am- y is it so wrong to look bigger?

I just want STYLE LIKE TOPSHOP, H&M, ASOS

*love Matthew Williamson, McQueen, vivienne westwood

|*VINTAGE CLOTHES

I WANT INNOVATIVE CLOTHING

..I JUST WANT STYLE

[AtlantaSistah]

yeah, i looked at the Beth line. Not for me. Looks tacky and wide. But to each her own. Thanks for weighing in.

on the movie Phatgirlz they used the term 'Thick Madame' I thought that was cool.

Plus size stores that have GOOD clothes:

Lane Bryant

Torrid

Fashion Bug

[AtlantaSistah]

Torris is cool. BUT I HATE Lane Bryant. They don't fit my body right at all. They are he main vendors of oversized squared out clothing. UGH!

WHEWWWW AMEN!!!

I get so mad walken into stores Im like.. What the hell is this? FLORAL PRINT BUTTON UP.. snap who wore this in 1970 I think they believe all thick woman are elderly..

Pisses me off..Or reading "$5 more extended sizes" Oh, so I have to pay extra for looken the way I do. That's another thing.. Why do I have to pay $90 at Lane bryant for some dang jeans that really ain't all that but skinny girls can find sales everywhere and get jeans for like $20 .. OKAYYYYY!

[fefelamour1]

I agree about Target!! Why is the plus size ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF THE STORE!! It even seems darker in that area. There were many many racks of missy clothes then Plus Size maybe 4-5 racks of ugly clothes. YES NEXT TO THE MATERNITY SECTION.

belts

preferably wide belts too do pull in any waist or outfit

fat girls cant just expect to fit into an outfit tailormade 4ther curves in 09

i think many bigger women (especially the 1's tht hav been slim b4 still think like a slim shopper they c fitted garments designed for skinny people &expect the same treatment

nope its not happening in 09 manufacturers remain ignant about this topic so untill then belt things up make a crappy outfit in2 a cool 1

learn to be ur own stylist- accesorise

[MochaBBW28]

I think this is a great idea!! We do need to talk to these companies about how they are branding us. It is true that we just don't have much of a so in what we want to really see on the racks!! Geat idea I'm all in!!
