Have you checked out SWAKDesigns recently? They carry afordable, trendy pieces in a very nice range of sizes, some up to 6X. Plus, you can save 15% off with the code SWAK15 through November 11th.
There are several new items in for the fall season that I’ve got my eye on.
Plus Size Shawl Collar Cardigan
The open cardigan look is everywhere right now. This one is different with clean lines and little pockets in the front. It’s a little sleeker if you don’t like the drapey, open cardigan look. It’s available in sizes 22/24 – 34/36 in black and gray for $38.
Camille Plus Size Tie Cardigan
Currently, this cardi is available in sizes 4 - 5X in brown for $41. There’s also a pic of it in black so I hope more come into stock soon. The curved hem and tie waist take what would be a typical cardigan up a notch. Wear it with jeans for a casual look or a tweed skirt or trousers for work.
Giselle Plus Size Dress
I'd love to see this dress in raspberry layered with the shawl collar cardigan above in black, opaque black tights, and black booties. Or you could style it like the pic with bare legs and heels for a party. The Giselle dress is available in sizes 14/16 - 34/36 in the raspberry shown here, teal or black for $56.
Double Buckle Stretch Plus Size Belt
The dress above will likely need a belt to give it more definition at the waist. I like the double buckle on this black faux leather belt for $18. The back is comfy elastic and the whole belt stretches to accommodate waists up to 50 inches.



I just recently viewed Swakdesign online. They do have fabulous things for the recession-minded fashionista. I plan on purchasing from their site in the future.

I have the open cardigan with pockets and don't recommend it. The material is very lightweight and piles easily. I've worn it maybe five times and it looks like I've had it for years-- not in a good way. The shoulder seam is also weird on it, it falls low on my arm.
