The Plus size woman:
Size 14 is the accepted size which begins the plus size
women’s clothing line. Also known as Women’s size, plus size clothing has
carved a niche in the fashion design world. More and more plus size clothing
manufacturers are coming out with stylish clothing for the plus size woman as
well as the plus sized youth. Some of the top online plus size clothing
retailer are Avenue, Woman Within (formerly known as Lane Bryant Catalog),
Jessica London, Roaman’s and Torrid for young women (aged 15 – 29).
If you would like to ‘live green’ with your clothing
choices as well then you would want to choose from the right fabric types. The
top two fabrics which are derived from plant fiber are cotton and linen. Cotton
is the number one choice for environmentally friendly fabrics. According to
Cotton Incorporated, cotton fiber is over 40% carbon, thus actually reducing the
amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Another ‘green’ fabric choice would be a
fabric from a protein fiber like silk or wool. The other fabric choices on the
market are of man made materials. Acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon, acetate and
blends are all made from various man made fibers. If you are not so set on
going ‘green’ but, would like to help our economy in some way then I would stay
away from acrylic made from natural gas and petroleum; polyester which is
produced from petroleum products, coal, air & water; nylon made from petroleum.
Women of our past who wanted to look healthy found it
flattering to look plump and healthy as a way to attract men. Nineteenth
century artwork shows that during that era having a heavy figure was the norm
and bigger was not only better but, bigger was beautiful. Today, plus size
women are making a come back and some have even become positive role models in
the media. American Idol’s Jordan Sparks and Kimberley Locke are both a
positive role models for all women especially those who are plus size women.
Hollywood also jumped on the band wagon with the recent comedy Hairspray.
Featuring Nicole Blonsky, who played Tracy Turnblad, portrayed a confident, well
adjusted plus size woman.
It is important to be happy with who you are and confident
in the way you look. Most often our image is based on what we wear and how we
present ourselves. Choosing the right fitting clothes is an important step to
looking and feeling good about oneself. Knowing what styles and colors look
good on your body shape is the first step to dressing with confidence. The
second step is to maintain a healthy self image. The best way to do this is to
surround yourself with people who build you up and are a positive influence in
your life. Also, it is important to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle by
eating healthy foods. The best way to determine if your weight is putting your
health at risk is to check with your health care provider.
