Oh God please ask readers about the Chubby departments in department stores. When married an 11. I am now(I have never had a waist)an 18 bottom and 16 top. I also need petite sizes. Talbots at least will mix and match and but Bloomingdales(who are about to cut their plus size department) say"you are too small for us" while upstairs I can only wear the tops. I always wish I was rich enough for a tailor who would make tops that did not stretch to my knees or bottoms that didn't have hips for the curvy.Help!Help!

The love of a wonderful man who became my husband helped me grow in self-esteem greatly. I am not FAT. Fat makes you think of greasy, slovenly things that are scraped off the plate into the trash can... It's all attitude. I am Womanly. Sexual. Seductive. Sensual. Voluptous & Buxom with lush curves that desire to be stroked, caressed and petted. We are all blessed with attributes. Find yours and revel in it... Good luck with your blog!

This seems like a good concept for a blog. I will be reading! For the record, I am fat, broad-shouldered & tall (or, as I often say, built like a linebacker) and would love info on plus size tall fashions and any shoes that come in larger sizes (I wear a women's size 13). -E Hi!

Except me. I buy most of my clothes online but sometimes the fit is not quite right :(. I'd love more options from women who know how to make the best of the bigger, cushionier girls assets. Finally, clothes (and shoes) that make me look as wonderful as I usually feel! Try being a curvy woman in Asia, where almost every woman seems to be a small size 0. Except me.

Can't wait for the blog to get rolling and see some plus size clothes with style and attitude. And I love cushiony, though I think we also need a sexy version too. Yay!

Looking forward to seeing fun fashions! That'll be a nice change from the tunic and leggings or muu muu looks you see around town that is most often offered for 'cushiony' ladies. ^___^ What a lovely start!
