Flipping through the December issue of UK Harpers Bazaar, I thought this Marchesa dress, worn by Marion Cotillard was just breathtakingly beautiful. Like most people, I imagine, I would have no cause to wear such a garment myself even supposing I had the body – and I do not – to carry it off and/or […]

Describe the woman who is interested in the +Black concept. How many times have I been asked that … and failed to provide a succinct answer? Too many times for my own comfort so, let me try to be clear. The +Black demographic includes: Grown-up […]
MorePlus size shopping in the US is so much easier than in the UK, possibly even enjoyable. Â All the major department stores have huge plus size ranges and ship to the UK.
