I'd like to continue my series on plus size fashion, this time focusing on places to find tops. For me, finding a comfortable and stylish shirt or sweater isn't as hard as finding pants that fit, but I know it can be a real problem for other women, partiularly busty women or those with broad shoulders. So I want to focus on beautiful styles I've found in my search for plus size clothing.
Silk Threads
Silk Threads is a brand I found through my HARO search. Silk Threads is inspired by Indian and Pakistani fashion, and their tunics are just gorgeous. They offer sizes from XS up to 3X, so there's something for every woman. I know I apprecate that! With such a wide selection, there's something for every taste as well, from sophisticatedly undestated to bright and daring. Check out the tunic I wore to the Type-A Mom Conference.
Isn't it beautiful? This particuar top is actually two pieces, a black cami with a tunic overlay. I was afraid it might be uncomfortable with the two layers,but it wasn't. I loved wearing it and all the compliments I received. Silk Threads can only be found in certain boutiques across the country and can also be purchased oinline. A tunic from Silk Threads would be a fabulous, unique piece to add to your wardrobe for that special occasion or to set you apart from the everyday crowd. Thank you, Silk Threads, for helping me feel beautiful and confident at the conference; I appreciate it!
Jones New York
I love Jones New York clothing. I used to go to the Jones New York store all the time when I lived near our local outlet mall. I didn't know, however, that they have an exclusively plus size line, Jones New York Woman. Thankfully, the store's publicist got in tuch with me to share some plus size fashion tips, (which I will pass along to you in a later post), so I went to visit the website. I was not dsappointed! Just look at this blouse.
The selection of beautiful clothing was amazing! I loved nearly everything. Tops come in sizes 0X - 3X, and the prices range from moderate to the higher end. I know that Jones New York offers quality, as I've purchased clothing there in the past. Though I haven't tried the plus size line personally, I won't hesitate to check it out based on the positive experience I've had with Jones New York in the past. I'm so excited to see that such a trusted woman's clothing brand offers the same gorgeous quality and selection to their plus size customers.
Dress Barn
Yes, you read that correctly. Dress Barn. I hadn't thought about that store in ages, like since college. But Dress Barn made a presence at the Type-A Mom Conference, and they sponsored an incredible fashion show starring a handful of lucky bloggers. I was so impressed with all the beautiful clothing. Dress Barn provided the bloggers with everthing, down to the boots and handbag! I was particularly in love with the sweaters I saw on the models. Cardigans of every shape and color. There were long ones, chunky ones, and twin sets. I LOVE twin sets. Just gorgeous. I adore sweaters, and I was super excited to pick up a plus size Dress Barn catalog in the conference lobby. The woman's sizes are available from 14 - 24. I will definitely be checking out the Dress Barn at the outlet mall to pick up at least one sweater to treat myself with this winter!
What do you think? Did I do a good job of tracking down a wide variety of tops for plus size women? What would you add? I know there are probably a lot of other great choices. Please share what you've found!
