29 Positive Plus-Size Spins
From Curve-Celebrating Catwalks to Costumes for the Curvy:
Meghan Young — Oct 22, 2009 — Fashion
There used to be a large disconnect between the plus-size population and the rest of the world. People judged, people ridiculed and people ignored the growing problems faced by many overweight individuals (er, Ralph Lauren). It’s important, however, to acknowledge the challenges faced by the curvier classes. This cluster not only highlights positive plus-size spins, it’s also a compilation of helpful alternatives such as clothing options and costumes.
