Plus Size D.I.V.A

Plus-size women often find that choosing comfortable clothes is always a challenge. Many stores do not stock sizes that are large enough to accommodate them, and speciality stores are often expensive. So what can a sister do when all she wants in an outfit is to be Trendy, comfortable and affordable?  I have come across so many plus size women on the streets wearing outfits they must stay away from if they plan to look every inch a diva. Shadders has been inspired to search for the best and affordable Plus size fashion boutiques as requested from a very keen Shadders Fan.

Monif C

Monif C. is an unapologetic stand for high fashion style for plus size women. Designed by mother/daughter team, Monif Clarke and Elaine Clarke, Monif C. was conceived to reaffirm every woman’s desire for an inspired life, luxury, and unadulterated sex appeal. A love of color, prints, and vintage details has been a part of Monif’s life from childhood. A child of Barbadian immigrants, Monif spent many summers enjoying the sweet life in Barbados. While there, she was awed by her grandmother’s love of color (red is her favorite!) and she was transported to a time when women dressed up for every occasion recognizing that taking pride in their appearance is one of the best things they could do for themselves.

    Plus SIZE women need to avoid Leggings at all cost, it reveals everything, one thing i believe they all must have is a ***Good Supportive Bras***

      hmmm you have a point yemisi however i believe it depends on the plus size persons shape, and what you choose to wear with leggings. a tunic top which covers the bottom is not going to reveal all where as a normal top is guaranteed to reveal all! also its important to get FOOT length as it won’t reveal the calves. i think it is also important to wear black leggings as black always makes you look slimmer! all the same, great blog shadders

    Loving the Plus size designs and love the fact that they are very elegant and decent.
    A lot of people may not believe it when they look at me but i consider myself a beautiful, sexy, elegant plus size woman even though i tend to fluctuate between a dress size 12/14.
    The reason i consider myself plus size is because i love my curves. I love ma chest and ma behind. I am big boned and love it. I am also very and i mean very fussy when it comes to what i wear.
    The British fashion market do not seem to cater for women like myself and even bigger. Their sizes are small and the styles irritating and tacky. If u want to wear elegant, classy, trendy, mature but sexily tailored, u got to be prepared to pay big bux for it and i hate that as well. So i decided to design and make my own clothes.
    If you like the Oscar De la Renta, Michael Kors, Karen Millen, Victoria Beckham etc kinda style clothes, then watch this space because 2011 holds a lot of surprises.
    I Love the Monif C’s,JIBRI and Decadent designs ……..
    I believe in not dressing like a tart because everyone is doing it. Dress with respect, intelligence and confidence no matter your size.
    Love y’all
