Thea says, “ I love the high waisted jean and pant look, but I can’t find any in my size (I’m a size 16 in pants). What stores give that style pant and jean in plus sizes?”
I actually wasn’t sure of the answer, so tapped blogging superstar, former Bombshell, and plus size fashion expert Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista to answer your query!
She says, “I love the high waisted look as well! Asides from the inspirations from the 70’s, for me, higher waisted jeans allow me to feel held in, pulled together, and confident about any squats or bend overs- without showing all of my business! There a few designers who pop into my mind instantly to help you achieve this look. There are quite a few brands that cater to curves above a size 14 and that deliver form, fit, and fashion!”

“These are my favorite go to specifically for this trend. These brands offer a great price, high quality, and an impeccable fit! “

Love these type of pants. They usually do a good job at flattering every body shape.

Amber Rose though? Plus Size?
September 21, 2011 11:12 am
I’m all for it. Didn’t care for a few months back but now I love it for some inexplicable reason.

@HavilandClark and everyone else befuddled by the Amber Rose picture…the reader in question submitted this photo as what she would like to get. We are by no means saying Amber Rose is plus sized. The reader was interested in getting a similar pant and a similar fit.

What about high waisted skirts? I’ve been looking for one for a while.
PS. I also agree the Macy’s full page ad that pops up is soooo annoying.

Hold on now, let make it clear, not ever plus sized woman should be wearing high waisted pants, just because it’s in your size dosen’t mean you should put it on. I’am a plus size who want to be repersented well by all the other plus size ladies, so check the looking glass be for you leave home, then folks won’t be looking at you funny.

I heart 7 jeans. One great place to find jeans in your city is Platos Closet. They have many brand name jeans and low prices. I heart Vintage.
