Plus-Size Formal Wear
Like most little girls, I used to love to play dress up. Now that I’m grown that hasn’t changed. I wish I knew of more social events in my area that called for “evening attire”. I used to have a problem finding figure-flattering clothes. As a curvy woman it’s sometimes a hassle trying to find an evening or special occassion gown that will accent your curves instead of giving you an unflattering look. Well designers have come a long way over the past few years in making gowns that really give a plus-size woman a great silhouette. Plus-Size celebs like Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique walk the red carpets looking fabulous and sexy in gorgeous gowns all the time. High-end labels are catering to our needs more and more and I couldn’t be happier:

Monique has always helped me through tough times of being plus size. She wears it on her shoulder like me but is able to face the fact that she will be big! I have not been able to go buy plus size swimwear until recently when I saw her new movie.
