Jjill Plus Sizes - Spring 2009 Part 2
To continue yesterday's perusal of the new Spring 2009 offerings in plus sizes at Jjill.com, I'd like to point out a few pieces that are really versatile wardrobe staples. The first is the Washed Linen Jacket shown above. Get it in the ivory/jute color if you want to be able to wear it in the early fall as well, or go for the mist or rosebud for a pop of spring color. Available in sizes 1X -4X.
Next, these Simpatico Stretch Flare-Leg Pants have a glorious drape and a chic flare silhouette. The grey is lovely for Spring because it grounds the airy pastel colors nicely. Also available in black, in sizes 14W - 28W.

Spring '09 Plus Size Fashion - Caroline Rose at Neiman Marcus
In my quest for the latest in plus size fashion, I get really frustrated with the way that clothing companies do their marketing. Specifically, I HATE when the clothes aren't even shown on a 'plus size' model (that's another topic - don't even get me started, folks.) How in blue blazes am I supposed to tell what this piece of clothing is going to fit like on someone who has, oh, i don't know, actual flesh?? Please! If you're out there and paying any attention, designers, please know that there are women out there who want nice, fashionable clothing, who are willing to pay good money for it, who are not a size 0.
Okay, done ranting for now. Here's a pretty spring ensemble by Caroline Rose at Neiman Marcus. The crinkle jacquard shirt and shell are made in the USA of imported French material, and create a warm monochromatic effect when worn together. The white linen pants feature a straight leg cut and elastic waist. All available in sizes 1X - 3X.

New Plus Size Fashion at Igigi.com
I've been anxiously awaiting the new clothes at Igigi.com, and they've finally released a few items. This plus size Victoria Wrap Jacket is my favorite. I love the portrait collar, made of dupioni silk, and the shapely princess seams. It also strikes me as very modestly priced at $72.00. Made in the USA in sizes 12 to 30/32.
