This fall Fashion Bug introduced inclusive sizing for their fashions -- no more separate areas for regular and plus sizes. Most of their fashions are available in sizes 6 to 32. Fashion Bug
currently ships within the U.S. Hopefully some time soon they will offer their plus size product line elsewhere. Especially since they have so many good pieces. Like the tops pictured here, all under $30!!

Plus size clothing is growing in leaps and bounds; and no, I don't mean sizes, I'm talking about selection. Regardless what mainstay media would have us believe there are a lot of choices out there for plus size clothing if the shopper is willing to go beyond their neighborhood.
I'm totally siked about a new company that is opening up shop online this fall. September 25th to be exact. Mark your calendars! Plusologie (say that ten times real fast) by Karolina Easley is the love child of Karol Jarvis.
Plusolgie's Mission: "To provide a brand that is stylish, sophisticated, and comfortable for the plus size consumer reflecting the notion that the plus size consumers watch the same TV shows, read the same fashion magazines, love fashion, newness, color, and want to be just as fashionable and neat as anyone else."
Here's a sneak peak:
Keep an eye on the Plusologie official website (or sign up for their newsletter) for more.
I've been really impressed this year with Liz Claiborne's plus size styles ever since they gave their website and line an overall. Even their plus size models look plus size!
I absolutely love this honeycomb boatneck tee from Liz Claiborne, part of many great new arrivals for fall. Take some time in your online browsing to pop over there and check them out. Great cuts, great patterns, lush colors.
The honeycomb tee also comes in black and cream. It is available in sizes 1x to 3x for $45.
Take 30% off everything at LizClaiborne.com from 08-24-09 to 08-27-09. No promotion code needed.
Yep, that includes their already reduced merchandise too!
Tabeez is a new plus size clothing store to me. In actuality they have been serving customers in sizes 0 to 22 since 2008. I was immediately captivated by their prices and affordable plus size fashions. There isn't a huge selection of styles but they are worth exploring.
You could go skirt crazy there with these lovely styles and still not break your pocket book. All the skirts you see here are under $50 (some are even under $30). Tabeez offers free shipping on orders in the U.S. on orders $150 and over.

Who else has crazy fabulous skirts right now? Torrid. Be sure to check them out also.
Punk super diva Beth Ditto (Who is Beth Ditto) is no stranger to bending the fashion curve. As a plus size beauty who's not afraid to flaunt her curves (she's posed nude for at least three magazine covers) she's always has a unique style with a sharp edge. Most importantly she's not afraid to do what she wants. This summer she's joined the UK clothing company Evans to create twenty-four pieces for the Beth Ditto collection. Here are just a few of the best pieces:

The collection is available exclusively from Evans stores, their website and the official Ditto Evans online store. And in case you are wondering, yes, they ship to the United States. And it is rather reasonable as are the clothing prices.
Just when you think they are no longer offering plus sizes they release their new line. Liz Claiborne, working under the design genious of Isaac Mizrahi has about twenty-five items in their new plus size collection. Bold, bright and comfortable seems to be the trend for spring.
Liz Claiborne offers plus sizes 1x to 3x and all of their choices are under $100. Their hot color of the season? Persimmon:

Spring has sprung and so have the new styles. Plus size boutique, Kiyonna released a few flirty fashions to get any curvy shopper into the mood.

Like the Tory Cinch Dress in blush (also available in passionately purple and black). This faux wrap dress with accent ruffle comes in sizes 10 - 32 for $126.
Or the Felicity Blouson Blouse in floral water print. It comes in sizes 10 - 32 for $88. Great with jeans, dress pants or if you are already venturing, shorts!
To help curvy shoppers celebrate spring Kiyonna has also issued a coupon to help keep some money in your purse. Curvy customers can save $25 off their purchases of $175 or more. The coupon code is: COLOR. It expires August 1, 2009.
Reitman's triple threat: Addition-Elle / Penningtons / MXM has an EITHER OR sale on for curvy shoppers. All three plus size shops are shoppable at the same time so curvy chics can shop satisfy all cravings at one time instead of having to shop at three different sites with three different orders. Their shippings to the U.S. and Canada are incredibly reasonable which makes them even more attractive.
Of the three, Addition-Elle is probably my favorite. Two items spoke to the curvy fashionista in me today. This lovely V-neck tunic with bead accents at the neck for $59.99. And these fabulous double waist jeans from Vigoss for $89.99:

From now until March 31st curvy shoppers can pick the promotion that best suits their purchase. With option one they can get $25 off a $100 purchase. The coupon code is simply: OPTION1. With option two they can get 20% off their entire order. The coupon code is simply: OPTION2.
It's spring! Well, almost. No reason not to fit in a little spring fever shopping as it will be here before we know it. And we all no how important it is to be prepared!
