Choosing The Right Designer For You

By Cleverbuttons @cleverbuttons

Hi All,

Here is my take on shopping for designer clothing whatever your size and shape!

If you’re the kind of woman, like me, who looks at runway models in high fashion clothing with a jaded eye, you aren’t alone. Some designer apparel may look great on size 4, rail-thin models but the average woman in the UK is a size 16. On average  these ensembles spotlight less proportioned areas. The first thing to do is to avoid haute couture designers whose main focus is on ultra thin proportions and unflattering styles of designer clothing. It is absolutely possible to be petite, plus sized or average and still look fantastic in suitable fashion designer clothing. It’s a matter of sensible selection of designers. Everything from outer wear to underwear can reflect your high fashion sense.

Plus Size Fashion

It takes a bit of studying to learn which fashion houses supply designer clothing for women who are petite, plus size, tall or small in physical stature. Widen the scope of fashion designers with a view of international high fashion collections, as well as domestic collections. For petite women, the top names for designer clothing are Nicole Miller, Michael Kors, Rebecca Taylor and Betsey Johnson. For plus sized women, look for high fashion designs from Chocolat, Natan +, Moss, Leona Edminston and Colleen Bow collections. For plus size underwear, designers like Carole Hochman, DKNY, Chantelle Intimates, Elomi and Natori create comfortable, alluring designs.

Know Your Designers

High fashion designs for petite and plus sized ladies are available in the most recognized retail stores around the globe. Online shopping can help inspire new ideas for your wardrobe and also introduce many fashion design collections by top designers. Choosing the right designer for your fashion sense and particular size is simple, quick and easy. Once you study each designer’s collection, you can determine if the styles suit your personal preferences. You may find each designer relies on a relatively specific style for the dresses, sports wear and underwear they create. It’s important to focus attention on this for the best results. For instance, simple and understated elegance works well for plus-sized and petite women. Avoid severe cuts in collars, outwear and dress lines. These amplify flaws in the average woman’s figure.
