Womens Sizes Plus

Plus size women now it’s your turn. With major designers like Charles Chang-Lima pioneering style for real bodies, women size 12 and up are finally getting a piece of the fashion action. Who says good things don’t come in big packages? The crys of plus sized women are finally becoming heard in the fastion world.

Designer Charles Chang-Lima raised a few eyebrows when he announced that he would launch a line in February 2008 for voluptuous women. Fashion insiders told him, “Put in an elastic waistband, cut a hole for the neck and two for the arms, and you’re done,” says Chang-Lima, whose stylish new collection, Monik Charles Chang-Lima, is for sizes 12 to 20. “The full-figured woman wants to look as sweet, sexy, and fun as anyone else.” Right on Charles!

With two successful lines already under his belt, what motivated Chang-Lima to reach out to curvier women? One word: demand. “My larger friends are always yelling at me for not making clothes they can wear,” he says. Chang-Lima knows the needs of his new customers. “When I was young, I was short and fat,” he says. And he’s offended when “plus size” shoppers are tossed an unflattering suit or a pair of elastic-waist pants. “You must respect the people you design for,” he says.

With friends like Chang-Lima in high fashion, real women will finally get the style they deserve. For more on designers clothes for plus size women visit with Oprah for awhile.
