A lot of visitors end up here while searching for designer plus size clothing. Of course, there are high end designers who make clothes in plus sizes. Unfortunately, it's almost always in conjunction with a misses line. Basically, an after thought. It seems like someone out there knows that plus size women have cash to spend, so they whip up a few pieces and put them into the department stores. A lot of it is fabulous and beautiful and drool-worthy. A lot of it... not so much.
I think we deserve a little more than that. Actually, I think we deserve a lot more than that but y'know, baby steps. If I was looking for high end clothes and had some money to spend, I'd be more likely to give that money to a designer who designed for plus sizes, not as an after thought.
One such designer is Monif C. I know you've heard of Monif C's line, either here or on other plus size sites. I dropped everything* to write this post when I spotted this silk charmeuse dress on the Monif C. website.
I might be on some kind of weird satiny dress kick but let's be honest, color looks so much more brilliant when the fabric has sheen. It's gorgeous. Aside from that, the wrap neckline and empire waist are flattering on many different body types. The sleeves have the ruffle detail that's on-trend but not so over the top that it'll look dated in three weeks. The length is neither too long nor too short and the fabric itself has a bit of spandex for the best possible fit. The whole package is just fantastic.
The $300 price tag is pretty spendy for a lot of people but if I had the cash and needed a dress that's to die for, I'd pick this one.
* Ok, I was just watching TV.
That dress is fab but looking around their site I think I'd rather get the convertible one. Now I just need to convince the family that I deserve it for xmas!
