Plus Size Clothing for the Big & Beautiful
Contrary to popular opinion plus sized people are actually quite often active and do take exercise - I walk, swim and kayak frequently. Finally this message has started to sink in with sportswear manufacturers and we are starting to see good quality sportwear appear on the market. My jogging bottoms and tops were starting to look a little worse for wear so I decided to do a little shopping this weekend for the latest styles in plus size … [Read more...]
One of the concerns many women face with regards to swimswear is the lack of bust support in the nicer ranges of swimswear. Go back ten years or so and the only swimswear you could find which was plus size and had bus support were old fashioned and frumpy. Thankfully recent years have seen this improve as demand for fashionable plus size swim wear has increased. One of my favourite sites for finding good quality swimwear in the UK is the UK … [Read more...]
I used to work with horses and, having gained weight at one point, I know how difficult it sometimes is to find quality plus size equestrian clothing. I recently spotted 16 plus rider - an online store specifically tailored for those riders over a size 16 (as the name suggests!).

One of my favourite stores when in the country is Venca.es and, if you do have a smattering of the local lingo, expats can easily get through the order process. The customer service is superb and, thus … [Read more...]
Last time I rummaged around online for good plus sized clothing I admit I was not terribly impressed with Evans who, at the time of writing, seemed to have little on offer except frumpy shapeless tops, dull trousers and last lustre lingerie. Well, thankfully, this time I am happy to say things appear to be looking up. Spotted this gorgeous gold top - which, although simply designed, has nice lines and a stunning gold fabric. There is a good … [Read more...]

As I am quite active and do a lot of walking with my dog I like to have plenty of comfortable trousers which are suitable for exercising. The thing is a lot of the main producers of sports clothing seem to think anyone above a size 14/16 must never exercise so refuse point blank to cater for them - when they do they frequently produce garish bright colours which make the wearer look like a giant pink marshmellow. Anyway I recently discovered yoga … [Read more...]
