Plus Size Fashion Blog - For Curvy Girls!

[Fashion & Shopping]

Hello There Lovelies!!

 

I've been around PL since the beginning but I just wanted to speak up and show you what I have been working on for the last year.

 

I run a plus size fashion blog called Curves to Kill.... featuring fashion from all over the globe, pinup and mainstream styling, cheap finds and lots of bits and pieces.

 

 

I started my blog to help the women that would email, asking for advice on clothing their curvy figure. So Curves to Kill.... is a one stop shop for any plus size girl that needs some help with shopping or styling. My blog is not limited to only plus size women I review items from standard clothing stores as well and feature companies that have sizes from XXS to XXXXL.

 

There are in depth reviews on garments and fit with lots of images to show you exactly how I look in the clothing. I'm also a plus size pinup and commercial fashion model so I get great insights into the plus size world, hear about new lines before they go live and more.

 

So please if you are a curvy girl in need of some advice or new shops to buy from come check out my blog!

This is fantastic! And you are gorgeous. I started making clothes 5 years ago because I saw there was just not enough cute stuff out there for curvier women. I have done custom sizes for ladies who just couldn't find anything sexy in their size.  I never understood this idea that plus size women were shaped like barrels, because that's what the fashion industry seems to think when you look at stuff on hangers.

I'd love to know if you are selling ad space on your blog.

Yes I totally know where you are coming from.  Being a size 18 I am at the uppermost end of "regular" sizes and towards the bottom of plus sizes.  I have bigger bust and hips, but, I still have a waist!  I can't tell you how many times I have found a cute top in the "regular" sizes that isn't quite big enough for my bust--then when I go to the plus sizes to find the top--they have absolutely no waist fitting!  Frustrating!  On top of that I am between 5'9 and 5'10 so I need Tall sizes in pants.  Finding Plus size tall is the most aggravating thing!  It seems that the industry assumes if you are plus size, you must be short! 

(On a funny note, when I was pregnant with my daughters in the early 1990's, I found the same problem with Maternity Wear!  I remember saying "Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm shrinking!")

I've often thought that maybe I should get into making clothes for other people like me, but, I've never really explored it.  Glad to hear you are doing something about it!  :)

Ooh, yay! It is definitely a frustrating experience to shop for plus sizes, particularly if you're like me- a bit too large for a lot of regular sizes, at size 16 US with my weight concentrated at my midsection, but swamped in plus size clothing. Good thing I can sew...

You have lovely taste!

Love your blog, and another reason I love this forum. I just found it and can't get enough info. your blog is fantastic, I can't ever find clothes to fit the girls and my hips that isn't a box. ergh I am in the middle 14-16 depending on the clothes but the tops are always too small on the cute pinup sites and the so are the bottoms. now I can finally find some clothes yay! thanks again and keep up the great work!
