ADVICE TIPS FROM FASHION DESIGNER

DOUGLAS SAY'S

What’s the biggest fashion tip you can provide a plus size woman?

The basic, basic thing I can tell any full-figured woman to do is to wear the proper undergarment. Whether it’s a girdle, whether it’s a spank … whatever it is, where it in a size smaller, too. Wear something that’s going to just hold you in, so that you’re not jiggling all over the place. That’s the foundation of everything. That body has to be tight.
It’s like makeup. You have to put on your foundation, then your powder, then your color. There’s always an underneath something going on. For the plus woman, that something must be right and tight and holding your body together.

Then secondly, they need Douglas Says.

What styles best fit a bigger woman?

A-line is a great silhouette for them and the wrap dress is their best friend because whether you lose or gain weight, you can adjust the wrapping on the dress.

Also, you can’t go wrong with custom-made. If it’s cut for you and with you in mind, then it can’t be wrong. That’s why it’s nice to have something made to fit your shape and not buying off the rack. You’ll always look good in it because it’s made with your measurements and your body type in mind.

Forever 21 for the big girls?..............

I have always adored the Forever 21 store because of the prices and the uniqueness of their clothes. I love the fact that you can pick up all different types of plain pieces, add a couple of accessories and come out with a bangin' outfit. I'm hoping this new line will bring it when it comes to style; I'm also hoping that their 2x doesn't fit like a smedium (yes! smedium, that's small and medium...lol). With prices ranging from a shocking $3.50 to $34.80, I am definitely heading over to the site when it becomes available.


The new line is called "Faith 21" and will be available in L.A. on May 1 at Lakewood Center Mall, Montebello Town Center, Los Cerritos Mall, Anaheim Plaza and online at http://www.forever21.com/. They will offer tops, jeans, tanks, leggings and skirts in a junior plus size as well as XL, 1X and 2X. The design aesthetic follows Forever 21’s trendy take on everything from runway knockoffs to jersey basics. MARK YOUR CALENDARS & GET READY LADIES! I will definitely put a reminder on May 1st!
