The pieces are absolutely beautiful…but I don’t really see the benefit of a plus size line if its all spandex and bodycon..and a midriff top? Don’ t get me wrong, there are quite a few plus size women that could more than pull those looks off (me included with the right ‘under armor’ as I call it) but I don’t think this is what the majority of the plus size market is looking for. JMO though.

…but this has Emily B written ALL over it.

I love this. This post made me this of the post from yesterday when it was said that women are more likely to but clothes that they see on a woman who looks like them. The first model looks great in these clothes. I am certainly going to get something from this collection.
May 18, 2012 9:17 am
Well Mixx you won’t have to worry about seeing too many rolls and jiggles because XL isn’t what it used to be. this stopped at a 14, which to me means not really “plus” but i actually don’t think i’d be wearing this if it came in a 16/18 because it is so tight and unforgiving to some body types who aren’t the typical “thick in the right places” curvy. If that makes sense, it’s pretty to look at though.
May 18, 2012 9:17 am
I can see wearing these to a club in Miami.
May 18, 2012 9:24 am
I guess I would be considered plus-sized (size 10) in many circles, but since I don’t carry all my excess weight in the donk like the lovely woman photographed I’ll leave these alone.
May 18, 2012 9:37 am
I love her clothes!! Cant wait for my leopard skirt to come in the mail.
May 18, 2012 9:37 am
To be quite honest, I do not consider the model a “plus size” model. She looks like the averaged sized woman in the Urban community. She’s BAD though. Idk If the real “plus size” model from our community would be able to fit in those dresses. Nor would the pieces compliment them like they do the model.. JMO..
May 18, 2012 9:50 am
i dont think fat women should be wearing that much spandex.
that is all.
May 18, 2012 9:50 am
Let’s expect some new bathroom pictures from Emily B rocking those tight dresses in the very coming days…*sarcasm*
May 18, 2012 9:53 am
the first model’s body is hot! barely plus size
May 18, 2012 9:59 am
I am going to have to agree that these models are NOT PLUS Size. I guess it depends on what you consider plus size though. I’d like to believe a 16-18 and up is plus size. None the less they have photographed women when great bodies (or photo shop’d them well) so does this really represent the average plus size woman? In my opinion it does not. But let us not forget about Good Ol’ Photoshop. I must say I dont know many plus size women with no pudge in the mid-section. I think at times these types of things can be so mis-leading.
Anyway, Happy Friday :)
May 18, 2012 10:03 am
I love it! Finally, clothes for us! Now I have question, what exactly is plus sized? At what size do we consider a lady to be plus? I’m a 12 so obviously I qualify. But is that starting number?
May 18, 2012 10:11 am
Cute stuff! They call this XL though..they don’t say anything about “Plus” on their website
May 18, 2012 10:17 am
That model is not plus sized to me, she does not look like a 13/14, a 10 maybe? It could just be the way she’s proportioned though. She’s curvy with a flat stomach and that will definitely give the illusion that you are much smaller. I love those orange pants though!
May 18, 2012 10:21 am
See this is really cute….the key to this look is she has no stomach, no back fat,etc…NOW, some really thick girl w/a stomach, back fat and not shaply will try this look and be a FAIL. Because the tag said XL..that doesnt mean its always for you and ur body shape! IJS
May 18, 2012 10:29 am
@Angel good point. I guess I assumed 13/14 was plus sized, but that category obviously expands beyond 13/14. I edited the post title to reflect that XL is actually just a new size category, but is not inclusive of all plus sizes.
May 18, 2012 10:35 am
I agree with the majority on this one. The clothes are cute, but guess what? If you have a pudgy stomach or a bit of extra fat, these are not the dresses for you! I love my Spanx, but they can’t hide everything…
May 18, 2012 10:50 am
I agree with the other woman who said these style though great to look at on the model are unforgiving to a real plus size woman who may not have the proportions or flawless midsection of a thinner waisted woman. I am a 14/16, moreso on the 16 side, and sure I can slither my body into many size Large/XL spandex skirts or dresses, but I don’t want to walk outside everyday looking like a club-going video vixen screaming for attention. I want to see and buy plus size styles that are comfortable, trendy and feature the bright colors of summertime: chinos, light jackets/blazers, pleated shorts, tulip,midi, and maxi skirts, loose sheer blouses…it can be done & has been done, let’s see more of those modern classic looks for 14 and up sizes.
May 18, 2012 10:50 am
Only thing I see plus size about that first model is her bootie!
**Thank you for removing “Plus Size” from the title. lol
May 18, 2012 11:07 am
she is “plus sized?” a truly FASHIONABLE plus sized woman should not wear any of those items. Spandex is hard to wear and even thin women should not think they get an automatic pass. I am not plus sized and spandex and I do not mix. Not at all. Not at all. Unless I wear a blazer over a bodycon skirt.
May 18, 2012 11:12 am
Size don’t have alot to do with these looks;however,shape does.
May 18, 2012 11:33 am
Yesss
May 18, 2012 11:53 am
Im questioning some ppl’s reading comprehension skills. it states that the clothes go up to an XL (which usually equates a 14) 14 is considered plus size. so the model & clothes are both def plus sized. i wear a 14 & when i buy large dresses in this style they’re ALWAYS too short & i feel like my ass is out. not classy. so i think these are great
May 18, 2012 11:55 am
What about the smalls, I hope there is somethingf or us on their site as well!!…Im loving the summer colors!!
May 18, 2012 12:12 pm
I love these looks and colors. They’re perfect for the club in the spring/summer time. I need some of these pieces in my closet. And yeah, I can also see Emily B rocking them, lol
May 18, 2012 12:16 pm
Definitely sexy but you have to have the shape for this daring party dresses.
May 18, 2012 12:22 pm
This is for the thick chicks that don’t have big tummies. I like it, I’ll foward this to my sister.
May 18, 2012 12:25 pm
Also yes this is plus size, a size 12 to however high you can go is plus. The chick with the blonde hair is about a 12 and look at those thick legs. There is smaller plus size and larger plus size. I think they are trying to sell this to the thicker chicks compared to the larger women that may have tummies and back rolls.
May 18, 2012 1:52 pm
Those are beautiful! Love the color combination.
May 18, 2012 2:19 pm
Team shape! LOL
May 18, 2012 6:33 pm
The model is cute and has a nice shape BUT she IS plus size. Double digits are plus size to me, 10 and up. Yall are saying she’s not plus size because she has a nice shape.
You can be big with a nice shape and she’s big with a nice shape.
Mary Mary, both are plus size with cute shapes.
May 18, 2012 7:12 pm
In my Martin voice….Damn Gina….this aint even plus sized!!!! Woowooo. Ya’ll need to stop tagging this as plus size….because it’s not. 13/14 is not a plus size you are trying to make some slim chicks fight you…..Anything 18 and up i plus…..please get it right b4 you have big girls running to buy this mess and it dont fit.
May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
Girl STOP!! SIZE 14 is plus size and ain’t sh*t small about a size 14. Black Women!
May 19, 2012 12:36 am
Loving it. Colors are gorgeous. Great expansion of a lovely brand for the thicker chicks. Women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes.
As a very tall hourglass plus size female, I relate to the issues of finding the perfect dress that hugs your curves just right.
May 19, 2012 2:34 am
:((
This s essentially colored spanx.
Way, way too tight and not enough texture to disguise anything.
May 19, 2012 7:18 pm
I’m not full-figured, but I like the XL line better 8^(
May 20, 2012 1:48 pm
good
May 20, 2012 9:32 pm
OW!!!
May 21, 2012 2:19 am
i like the yellow one.
May 21, 2012 2:12 pm
Gosh I wish my curves were like that. I have the hips & thighs but my tummy isn’t flat. I likey!
July 1, 2012 1:57 pm
The yellow is probably best but that cute model looks hot in everything.
