Plus-Size Fashion Tip Contest
Our friends at Jessica London are celebrating their 10th anniversary with a really fun contest. As specialists in providing contemporary and affordable fashion in plus-sizes up to 34W, they know a lot about clothes. But they are turning to you - the customers - for full-figured fashion and style tips.
Here’s one they’ve shared to get you all started:
“Wrap tops can accentuate the narrowest part of your upper body and create all the right curves.”
- Gina, Jessica London
Here are a few from our Style Editor here at Elegant Plus :
- Color is a curvy girls best friend. Don’t hide in head to toe black. Instead add pops of bright color like a red purse or grass green shoes to add excitement to your outfits. You’ll go from wallflower to cool, confident fashionista in a snap.
- Petite plus women can add the illusion of more height by creating a monochromatic look. This creates a longer visual line, adding height to the eye.
- Structured styles like tailored jackets with nipped waists and flat waistband skirts and pants can help you create an hourglass shape. Choose fabrics with a hint of stretch in them for comfort and make friends with a tailor for the perfect fit. You’ll be comfortable and oh so stylish with the proper fit.
What are your style tips for the perfect plus-size looks this spring? Share them here …. and don’t forget to e-mail them to Jessica London to enter the contest at submityourtip@redcatsusa.com by July 2, 2007 to be entered to win a $100 shopping spree.

Always carry clear nail polish in your purse. That way if snag your pantyhose you can dab a little on to keep them from running.

Never go without lipstick, even in the summer (just pick a sheer tint). It’s amazing how people respond to a radiant smile.

Baggy = sloppy. You might think you look comfortable. Instead you look like a blimp! Wear belts and styles that highlight your waist.

Be happy with you body no matter what the size. Then dress as if you are the most gorgeous creature in the room. Pretty soon everyone will believe it too.

Wear wedge heels. You’d be amazed how much more comfortable they are for heavier gals than regular heels. I know tons of plus women who only wear flats because of the pain of added weight on their feet in heels. Wedges make heels and the elongating effects of heels available even to us fat chicks.

Let a scarf accentuate your style. When I need to brighten up my outfit and can’t decide what colors to wear. I go to the scarf section and find one that has the color of my skirt, top, etc. Size does not determine what color we wear. I sometimes even use the scarf across the shoulder, purse or around the waist or neck.
