I think that's why so many manufacturer's preferred to make "Tent" clothing in the past. To make a tent does not require the customer to learn anything about their body so the product was easy to understand. To make something look and fit right for a plus size woman is a real challenge, not because designers don't know what they're doing but because each design has to be designed with shapes in mind and unless the customer knows this they will waste time and money and that's not good for customers or retailers.

I try to blend in some fashion tips on my website as well. I think this is ultra-important as the Recession is forcing plus size fashions out of brick-and-mortar stores and solely online. You will REALLY need to know what shapes work with your body. Great tips! I try to blend in some fashion tips on my website as well.
