Places to Find Luxuriously Sexy Attire

Alright ladies, lets get down to brass tacks. Places to shop for REAL voluptuous women are in limited supply but things have gotten a lot better than they used to be. The days of us being pushed to wear brightly colored over-sized sweat shirts with stirrup leggings are over. Today we celebrate our fat because after all, it wasn’t easy to gain and if the therapists are correct there’s some type of mental worry behind it, and with all that thinking, worrying, and depression nothings better than a party to show off how hard we’ve worked! Today l’m going to highlight some awesome places to shop for celebrating your voluptuousness and making you feel luxuriously sexy. I like that; I’m going to say it again… luxuriously sexy. To kick things off we’ll start with…

Nordstrom Plus-size Shop:
Nordstrom has an excellent plus-size selection. It’s nothing like what it used to be ladies. There are actually lots of pieces for the luxuriously sexy woman. They also have a number of beautiful casual dresses. Now I know what some of you are thinking, “I don’t gots no Nordstrom money,” but you do! Nordstrom has a number of excellent sales throughout the year. If you’re worried about prices you can compare their clearance section to purchasing something full price at any other lower end store. Don’t limit yourself, after all there’s nothing worse than looking over and seeing another fat lady in the same outfit you have on.

Torrid:
I know that at times Torrid has a young gothic look but if you can sift through their love for twilight then you’ll find the sexy. I realize that our readers with a little more age may desire something a little more sophisticated but they shouldn’t rule out torrid just because its target generation is younger. This store carries a number of great every day pieces. One of the things I like the most is that the tops are usually longer and cover your bum and that loveable pouch most of us carry in the front. They also carry their own line of luxuriously sexy shoes, that you can match with an outfit right there in the store! I don’t know about you, but I hate running around looking for a pair of shoes that may not fit because they are for a narrow foot.

Old Navy:
It sucks that Old Navy has taken their plus sized clothing out of the store but don’t let that stop you from shopping and looking luxuriously sexy. Old Navy online has an excellent selection of casual everyday wear. Their summer dresses are always fun and flirty! There are a few pluses to online shopping here because you can’t find the clothing in stores there are plenty of opportunities for people to not be wearing the same outfit as you, you can find similar items to what your skinny friend have that you think are cute and you generally don’t have to worry about going to the store and not finding that top you wanted so bad. Old Navy’s clothing usual is true to size but for the jeans you may want to go up one size especially if the jeans have a narrower thigh width and don’t stretch. Another cool note is that in store they carry XXL and you can find a few tops that may fit right in the store. Don’t be afraid to tryout some of their maternity tops as well.

Avenue:
The Avenue as made a number of advances in becoming luxuriously sexy. Although you can find a few potato sack items lurking in the far corners, there are still a number of items you can find toyou’re your beautiful figure. In this store like any other don’t be afraid to try things on; after all you’ll never know what’s sexy on you unless you do. Things on hangers can be very deceiving. Avenue also carries a line of shoes in store and online; making them excellent for one-stop shopping especially for those last minute events.

OneStopPlus.com:
Here is another online only shopping venue. This site carries a number of items you may have missed in the stores named above. I guess you can say they are the overstock.com of plus size shopping. You can find a number of really awesome ready-for-work pieces. For those of you with rubenesque boyfriends this is also a good place to shop for him. Although they may not have the most up to date items their selection is extremely diverse and offers you the opportunity to find that dress you just may have missed last season. They also offer shoes and accessories which is always a plus!


Lane Bryant:
Lane has been our old faithful for many years, what would we do without her? LB has given us luxuriously sexy style for many years now and I would say has provided example for many stores and shopping venues that have emerged over the years. You can find everything in store and online in styles that go from business casual to cook-out friendly. Their lingerie selection and style is reasonably diverse with extended sizes available online. We all know how to find one, there’s one within about 25 miles of you.

Target:
Lets all give Target their fair share of come-uppins. They have really tried and in most cases succeeded in dressing the plus size woman. They even carry a foundation line called Assets to keep you shaped and sexy under your wear. They are all over the US and available in the city and the suburbs. If you’re looking for a few trendy pieces it’s a great place to go. As you may know they also have a reasonably sized accessories section and you can find a few great flats too. If you haven’t perused the plus section at Target… what are you waiting for?

Macys:
I know Macys has been around forever and a day. They have really come up on their style selection but the pants and skirts are a little less to be desired. I suggest only shopping here for tops and dresses although you can find plenty of business casual bottoms. If you head on down to the accessories section you can find a few items as well but nothing specifically geared toward the luxuriously sexy plus woman.

Ashley Stewart:
The niche at Ashley Stewart is urban fashion. They have wear in bright and vibrant colors with lots of sexy flair. If you’re looking for trendy seasonal pieces with not as much shelf life this is a great place to shop. They also carry accessories that match their vibrant colors perfectly which really help with boosting your outfit to the next level. In addition to their colorful brand name collections you can also find seasonal collections from designers like Babyphat and Applebottom.


These last couple aren’t great on quality but they are luxuriously sexy and a bit trendy. In most cases the size chart runs a little smaller, so try it on! Sometimes you can find some great pieces…. You ever know!
