“The girls were gorgeous, but they were being shot as though they were sex-less old maids!” – Darren Trentacosta, on the need for va-va-vooming up the plus size look

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Reviews the On-Trend, Designed to Fit Trentacosta Line.

Four years on, Trentacosta New York is in fine form. Playing word association with its designs in mind is easy: Smart. Regal. Clean lines. Tastefully feminine. Most ideal for the curves-plus woman. Trentacosta New York’s stylish fashion craftsmanship is impressive.

The woman’s plus size clothing designer’s new Spring Summer 2010 collection, due in stores and online on May 1, cuts a winning, handsome figure and makes you think twice about getting your garments tailored. What’s exceptional about this line of full figured women’s blouses, slacks, dresses, and more is the fact that the clothes are already tailored, before they make their way to the boutique, on a fully-bodied Size 18 fit model. How you riff on the rest of the fit is always up to you.

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Checks in on Jessica Biffi: from Indie, to Etsy, to Fashion Week, to You.

“It’s not necessarily about taking one style you have and making it for a larger size,” she says. “What works for a two doesn’t necessarily work for a six or a 10.”                                           – Jessica Biffi, to the Calgary Herald

Yesterday, Project Runway Canada alum Jessica Biffi’s indie designer gear launched with two new collections in true Web 2.0 style: debuting at LG Fashion Week, in Addition Elle boutiques for women of size, and for MXM (the Bold Biffi line). This up and coming curvy clothing artisan is selling her wares both online and in stores, and both of her retailers of choice specialize in women’s clothing in sizes 14 and up. Facebook, Twitter, and Google continue to spread the Biffi love byte by byte. In the full figured world of diversified fashion, you can never get…

Plus Size Clothing Magazine: Happy Macy Gray’s Designing More “Junk from Inside that Trunk”

Frilly, frou-frou, retro, classic, gypsy, ghetto chic, Macy always had us wondering, “Who designs your clothes, Girl?” Now, we know.

The vivacious and curvaceous actress-musician Ms. Macy Gray recently informed Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) in New York that she plans to relaunch Humps, her plus size clothing line for women.

That’s right: the Grammy award winning woman with the signature voice is coming out with yet another signature line. Humps (pre-Fergie and Black Eyed Peas, mind you…) is not a trend, or a “bandwagon jumping” collection. Her line was originally filling…

Frumpy maternity clothes are a thing of the past. We’ve got Angelina Jolie, Tori Spelling, Heidi Klum, and Mo’Nique to thank–among countless other celebs and their babies-to-be. Only the latter is a woman of size, so the majority of maternity wear out there is for women with little “baby bumps.” If you’ve got more to love, then you can demand more from the places you shop.

Even before your pregnancy, and even if you’re not a slave to fashion, you know how gorgeous you can feel when you find a new outfit. It doesn’t have to end while you’re pregnant. Why don schlumpadinka, baggy, ill-fitting, and shapeless clothing if you don’t have to?

You can find affordable, attractive, and comfy fashions that give you and the little one lots of room to roam, while looking and feeling beautiful in the process.

You might find more luck with that on the web, at the time of this writing. There are many virtual destinations featuring clothes that’ll hug your extra curves, with materials that are breathable (polyester be gone!), and comfortable. While many retailers carry Plus Size Maternity Wear, some can make it harder to find than others.

Here are some rules of the road as you search for your maternity ensemble:

New! Now! Next! No.: Don’t get fooled by ads, solicitations, or displays…
