Whilst I've been slacking off, there have been a few small developments in the world of plus size fashion...
Firstly and finally I might add (!!!) Anna Scholz has got her own on-line shop - yay! And whilst I certainly can't afford to buy any of her clothing (only her simplybe collection is in my price range!) its great now that her gorgeous stuff is so much easier to get hold of and see! If money was no object I'd certainly be after this dress and this one too which is sadly sold out.
One area which plus size women seem to completely ignored is with vintage clothing, I often figured that this might be because that if things now are terrible for larger ladies to buy clothing, in the past it was ten times worse. I've often thought that vintage will forever remain in the mitts of Kate Moss, but it would seem I am wrong. I have discovered the Frockery who sell secondhand vintage and retro clothing. Their range is not great, but at least they acknowledge that women over a size 16 might be interested in vintage clothing.
Shortly after discovering the Frockey, I came across Cuddlebunny on Etsy, who in addition to having the cutest alias on Etsy, she also sells some truly cool vintage clothing. Just check out this coat and then this dress, I want them!!! And she will do custom orders! I can feel a spending spree coming in July...
I also want to give a little shout out for a fellow Brightonian, take a look at My Little Halo! I first came across her stuff on ebay and then discovered her on-line shop, My Little Halo sells some great alternative stuff, my personal favourite is this dress, but there is loads of cute things on her site and shop.
And finally... Well last year there was some talk of Beth Ditto designing a range of clothes for Evans, I never really believed it would happen, but it does seem that in July Evans will be launching a Beth Ditto collection. I am both excited and fearful that I will be disappointed. I have in the past not been complementary of Ms Ditto's fashion sense, however I do think that it is possible that somewhere between Beth Ditto's extreme taste in clothing and Evans tameness, that some great clothing may appear. I certainly like the domino print top in the Evans ad, but I am a bit freaked out by the Beth Mannequin!
Great blog I have found some great links there, my word, Anna Scholz is certaintly expensive!!!!!
A good store I use for large sized underwear is feminineplus.com. Shopped there for a while now.

Hi
I would like to throw my website into the mix of new online plus size fashion. We stock a variety of the high street labels including DP, evans, BHS but to name a few, all at a fraction of the high street costs.
Please feel free to take a look at my site and let me know what you guys think.
