Eshakti has extended their standard size offerings past the usual 26 to include sizes 28 to 36. In the past these sizes were only available through custom sizing. Eshakti still offers the custom sizing for longer/shorter sleeves etc for $7.50.

While I was there checking out the new sizing I of course fell in love with a bunch of items from their fall line like these beauties:

$200 Making It Big Giveaway

March 2, 2011 By 177 Comments
plus size career clothing from Making It Big

This month’s giveaway is special in more ways than one. Making It Big is offering one lucky reader a $200 Gift Certificate for shopping at their website. That in itself is exciting but I’m also excited about the changes at Making It Big over the last year. They have always been a leader in offering plus size and extended size clothing but frankly I haven’t “loved” their clothing because I felt it lacked the shaping that plus size bodies deserve. They have made profound changes in their styles and I’m very proud of their progress and growth of their new line. If you have never heard of Making It Big (MIB): plus size career clothing from Making It Big

“Founded in 1984, MiB designs plus size clothing for women who want to celebrate their curves in style. MiB offers quality made clothing in luxurious fabrics in sizes 22-48 (2x-8x).

Red Elegance

February 2, 2009 By 1 Comment
redelegance

Swak Designs is a little online shop that offers plus size clothing, many in extended sizes. They are fairly new and somewhat trendy. They don’t have a huge assortment of items to choose from but they do have some exceptional pieces like this Red Elegance top with a crossover v-neck and asymmetrical hemline.

I couldn’t believe how great this top looks on despite not looking like the model in the picture. This 100% top has a lovely drape, a bit stretchy and is incredibly soft. The sleeves are slightly transparent but provide absolutely enough coverage for those sensitive about their upper arms being exposed. Despite having an empire waist, I didn’t find it creates that maternity top appearance that some styles do.

I will probably wear this with black career pants and jeans (because who doesn’t wear them with everything these days). This top comes in sizes 1x to 7x. It is incredibly affordable for a plus size dressy top — $32.99. The true red is a fabuouls color but this top is also available in brown and black. And to top it off Swak Designs offers free shipping worldwide.
