Plus Size Clothing Industry - Wake Up

Posted in Latest Lingerie News, Plus Size Closet Press Release by admin on the June 14th, 2008

DD+ BraDid you know that 90% of women in the US are considered “Plus Size” because they are over a size 6. What’s crazy to me is why the majority of cool clothing and lingerie is only being directed to the remaining 10%. This means that most of the lingerie designers, clothing designers and manufactures are losing tremendous amount of market and share and potential revenue!

First off the leaders in the clothing world are a bunch of idiots in my book, by the way size 6 is THIN you morons!

Leader in the clothing world, market to us in a positive way, remember we are the normal ones, we represent 90% of the women! Advertise both thin and fat people would yeah! Remember hips and curves equal glamor and beauty! Make your message inclusive. The last thing full figure women want is to feel singled out once again!

We are a market that has been ignored and ostracized for too long! We want sexy, erotic, glamorous and sophisticate clothing and lingerie. We too want youth and beauty, joy and sex. That right I said SEX. Personal I don’t find a moo-moo sexy! I like to wear thongs and lace bras. I like to feel pretty.

We want market share, we want market visibility. We no longer want to lurk in the shadows of life. I’m big and beautifully and I want us full figured women to be represented in the media. Believe me, if a company were to create stylish plus size clothing and lingerie I believe this company would be highly successful. I hear many people say…”plus size clothing lines are marginal success full in the fashion world. That’s because most of these lines are crap! They are not sexy, stylish and on-trend. Most of the plus size lines I have see look the same… lots of black “fat cloths”.

Hello fashion world, full figured women don’t want “Fat Clothes!” We want the clothes we see on celebrities, their thin friends and the runways.

I have another ax to grind, why do department stores segregate the “Plus Size” section? Talk about treating us like second class citizens.

This is exactly why I started Plus Size Closet, for women shopping is a fun and pleasurable activity. I said, hey I am a full figured women I wanted to create a online full figure lingerie store that caters to ME!

If you like what I have to say, please comment! I would love to hear from you. Tell me the truth do you like what I carry? Or do you know of a great line of plus size lingerie? I am always on the look out and I need all the help I can get!

How fast do your boobs bounce?

Posted in Latest Lingerie News by admin on the May 31st, 2008

plus size boobsLots of news in the world of bras today! OK, two pieces, actually. But how many did you read about yesterday?

First, we have the delightful (though somewhat misleading) headline “Breast Wobble Could Hold Key to Women’s Chest Pain.” A recent study by Dr. Joanna Scurr, a leading authority on sports-related breast movement (seriously), found the speed at which your boobs bounce when you’re running is more likely to cause breast damage than the amount that they wobble. How did she figure that out? After having her subjects run on treadmills with sensors attached to their girls, “She plotted the distance traveled by the breasts and calculated the speed at which they moved up and down, in and out and from side to side.”

Even though that sentence cracked me up (see also: “the points at which the breast was in the process of accelerating or decelerating”), there’s a serious purpose to measuring boob travel. Scurr found that 50 percent of the women suffered from exercise-related breast pain. And her research has the potential to help women in numerous ways, including by influencing the design of sports bras — lingerie manufacturers have already expressed interest in working with her. As someone who hit DD in eighth grade and went on to develop what I now lovingly call the Rack of Doom, I welcome any advances in sports bra technology.

Even better news for my big-busted, and generally bigger, sisters: A new line of bras is coming your way from plus-size retailer Ashley Stewart, “inspired by” singer and actor Jill Scott. Scott, blessed with her own Rack of Doom, described her unmet needs as a consumer to the design team, and they created the Butterfly bra accordingly. (Nice work if you can get it, huh? I’d love to get paid to design bras, but unfortunately, I can’t sing or act.)

I can’t resist mentioning that Scott’s needs — a bra that wouldn’t dig into her shoulders and would smooth out her back fat rolls, according to the promotional video — actually sound to me like the result of wearing too large a band size, not the wrong kind of bra. If you have the right band size, it should be doing most of the work, which will keep the straps from cutting into your shoulders; and the majority of all back-roll issues can be solved by pulling the band down lower across your back. No. 1 cause of the band riding up? It’s too damn big. As the owner of Lee Lee’s Valise, an awesome plus-size boutique in Brooklyn, N.Y., explains in this video, that’s a common mistake for large-busted women to make. Cup sizes go up along with band size, so the cups on a readily available 40 DD might fit you, when what you really need is a much harder to find 36 F.

But setting that PSA aside, the Butterfly bras are reportedly comfy, much cuter than the “grandma” bras the well-endowed are usually stuck with, and more affordable than many brands that offer bigger sizes. That’s worth celebrating, even if Scott probably could have saved herself the trouble of becoming a lingerie designer by getting properly fitted for a bra.
