Young Women's Plus Size Clothing, Designer Plus Size, Trendy 

Dresses. The idea scared me. Skirts. Same reaction. When I was younger, my mother would drag me to the local department store and would march me straight to the Women's Department.

We skipped Young Misses, we skipped Misses, and went straight to the Plus sizes. I was mortified. Because I was only 14.

Because of my wide hips and my big thighs, I wore 16W clothes.

Imagine how horrible it is, at that age to realize that my mother and I were resigned to not even look for plus size clothing for young women, but go directly to the Women's Plus Size. It's as if the fashion designers forgot about me. That I didn't exist because I was not a size 4!

When my mother brought me to my pediatrician to talk about my weight, I found out that I was in the 95th percentile in weight, so I was, according to the American Obesity Association, obese. I was in tears because they were discussing my issues, as if I were not in the room with them! My doctor gave me an exercise plan and an eating plan. They explained the importance of healthy eating and portion control.

Looking back, I am grateful to her, because not only did I lose some weight, but I also ended up learning that my weight gain is not all about my loving snacks and sweets, nor eating that second serving of pie, but it was also caused by metabolism. I had to work twice as hard than the average person to burn calories.

Slowly, I learned to love my size. I learned to love my wide hips and my thunder thighs.

Now that I'm in mid 20s, I am still big. But I celebrate myself. I love my body and actually have found a style that flatters all my curves! I can never be like others who can march into a store and find the perfect shirt and jeans in 15 minutes. Mine has to be thought of - from cut, to style, to color to fabric.

I now shop for plus size clothes that are fashionable and stylish

But I now know that instead of hiding underneath yards and yards of fabric, I can highlight parts of my body that are attractive! I have become more aware of fashion, and have used this big girl fashion sense to only buy clothes from designers who know how to dress big girls!

Which brings me to this: Are there good plus size clothes for young women out there? Are we, the bigger girls, resigned to wear our mother's clothes? Well, the good news is, the answer is, "No!"

Over the years, I have found that what we big girls really love, are cuts and style that flatter. We do not care about whether it's polka dots that's hot this season, or that resort wear is all about the color blue, what we care about is: good fit!

Give me good fitting jeans that will not cut at the waist nor dig into my thighs, and I will gladly pay $80 for them!

Nothing bothers us more than clothes that are ill-fitting! Plus size clothes for young women exist! I have found brands that cater to my style. I can wear nice shorts, in both the short and the longer lengths. I can wear sleeveless white shirts, or stripey ones that make me look taller.

I can wear career clothes that highlight my curves without cutting into my flesh, and more importantly, that don't make me look frumpy. Yes, I may not be the size of those beautiful women in Mad Men, all beautifully dressed and made up, but the style of clothes they wear are now available in plus size clothes for young women!

We have curves and plus size clothes designers have slowly realized, because of our feedback, that we want to show our curves!

Plus size clothing for young women are easier to find on the web because a lot of brands are now available on one site. If I'm looking for shorts, I know that I can type in my search, denim shorts, and Amazon.com will bring me at least the six top brands that have between them more than a dozen styles to choose from! Can it be easier than this?

Which brings me to this. This site is dedicated to all big girls, who in the past, had to settle for clothes that didn't fit and didn't flatter simply because there was nothing else out there. Those days are gone.

This site brings together plus size designers who try to understand how we feel about our bodies and about our clothes. We are passionate, we are loyal and we know how to spend our hard earned money!

In this site, we will talk about Plus size clothes for Young Women in these categories:

Years ago, and I experienced this, the selections on young womens plus size clothing were so limited that girls like us were forced to settle. Now, that there are so many styles to choose from, we are faced with a new problem, and that is:

Should I get this in navy or black? And my answer to that? "Get them both!"

Here are also a few tips that I want to share to make shopping for clothes on this site easier for you:

Know your body type.Are you top heavy? Or are you bottom heavy? Never choose structured cuts, choose clothes that drape that part of you that is heavy instead.

Choose the right size. Look for a designer that knows your body and whose clothes fit you well. Somebody's 16W may be another's 18W!Then stick with their line. This way, your clothes will fit you, consistently.

Avoid busy prints. You do not want to look like your grandmother's couch!

Find the right length. Anything too short or too long will ruin the look. Invest in good alteration if the need arises. Try out the Petites if length is an issue.

Lastly, choose styles that fit your clothes to fit your lifestyle and busy schedule. If you're a career girl, then go for looks that are simple and tailored.

This way, you'll be able to wear them season after season. If you're active and into sports or yoga, choose clothes that move with your body.

You are who you are. Celebrate the new Plus Size Fashions that are in available to us today, and remember that plus size clothing for young women no longer are no longer the frumpy, lacking in style old flour sacks that our parent or grandparents had to endure.

Get out there and see what styles and fashion awaits you. You will be pleasently suprised!
