Hello! Today I’ve decided to post a compliation of stores which cater to the plus size figure.

Hey, I got to do a Fashion February today!  Camera phone is the only camera I own at the moment, and I happened to go to a local Kohl’s that’s closing to look through their clearance, so I got a nice full-body shot of this outfit in the dressing room mirror.  (Also pictured: a top I got for $5 on its hanger. :D)

I don’t wear this skirt nearly as often as I should.

Cardigan: Merona (Target)
Top: Avenue
Skirt: Merona (Target)
Stockings: Hips and Curves
Boots: Payless

Will also be the subject of a future OOTD illustration! ^_^

First, remember that style comes in all sizes, so the bigger you are, the more style you have. And second, draw attention to your best features by pointing at them, and conceal your flaws by sucker punching anyone who mentions them.

Outfit from April 9, 2011

Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 22
Necklace: Paperelle @ Etsy
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11

This dress was almost sold out by the time I ordered it (as my birthday present to myself!) so it’s a size smaller than I would have liked to get.  Hence, it cinches my torso in quite a bit!  I simply couldn’t resist it’s cupcakey wiles.

I’m super excited about my Strawberry Dress!  I can’t wait to draw it.  I’m hoping it will come in time to wear it to a wedding I’m going to the first weekend in October. ^_^

As always, your model is 5’7" and 265 lbs.
