and a fashion design student. our final is a fashion show. although im a size 10, im designing a plus size clothing line. i have seen my sister, who is plus size, suffer too much cause there is nothing out there for young women to wear. its all either maternity looking, or nightgown old woman looking. this pisses me off, as im sure it does you. but since im not plus size, im having difficulty designing new, confident, beautiful clothes for full figured young women. so i need your help. what's out there that you wish fit you? if you could have any designs, details, shapes, patterns ect., what would you want? anything helps. you can just tell me about yourself if you want. it all motivates me even more. but please!! tell me what kind of clothes you want so i can make them and i promise, you will be able to buy them in stores in no time.

I am not so much a plus sized girl, although a lot of my friends are. One dream I think we all have? Clothes that realize we're not all built like small boys. There's a huge diff b/w my hips and waist. I wear low rises a lot, but I'm really tired of having my bum hanging out of all my clothes. But no one much makes clothes for girls with big butts and little waists. On the other hand, my sister in law has slim hips and a big belly. She can't find clothes that accomodate her stomach but don't fall off her skinny butt.
I'd love to see a clothing line that acknowledges that whole apple/pear problem. That's my dream.

Hey what a wonderful question! Too many times I try on clothes that look beautiful on the hanger but when I try it on...YUCK!!! Even though it's my size it wasn't cut for my shape.
I like boot-cut pants. That's a flattering shape for me. I need something that follows the shape of my waist on the sides but is loose around the stomach...otherwise i look pregnant. I don't look good in shirt that is waist-length...but something just a bit longer then the waist look better on me.
I get scared of too much colorful patterns (you know, like something from the 60's) on a shirt because the bigger you are the more fabric you need and it looks like you're wearing a blanket o_O But it does look cute on slimmer girls.
I can go on and on about what I like ...^_^'
But yeah I look for things that cover my stomach, I LOVE empire-waist cut shirts. Those are so flattering.
BTW, I would kill KILL KILL to be a size 10 like you!! All of my friends are around your size and I look SO much bigger then them.
Good luck with everything ^_____^

All plus sized girls want to look slimmer. I would pick something in dark colors that doesnt emphasize the size. Nothing skimpy. Nobody wants to see us in something too revealing! I think plus sizes have improved over the years, but I agree with you. They are kind of "old-ladyish" I hope you are very successful with your clothing line. I would like to have more options to choose from.

Also many of the styles that regular sizes come in would look good on plus sizes its just that no one makes them bigger, just some extra fabric. I really like button down fitted blouses, they're comfortable and slimming.

A friend once asked Me a very similar question. My reply was that, " Thin is the shape You are before You become cuddly". She liked that. I Personally like 'Round'. When people tell Me to 'get into shape', I remind Them that 'round' is a shape, and that I am a PERFECT round! It is the shape of pearls and this planet, pregnant Women and cartoon balloons containing good ideas!

I would like to see a shirt that is bigger around the bust and arms not to be so long. I don't know if because someone is bigger means you are taller or want to cover your bottom half too. I am 5'2. If I find a shirt that fits then it lays below my hips and make my legs look stubby and makes me look even bigger yet.

ask your sister what kind of clothes she would like, and then design them as a plus size. nowadays clothes ligns are only for skinnys. my sister is a big girl and it hurts her when we go shopping and we can't find anything her size. it hurts me, too.

a common skill in other countries is learning how to sew
get a pattern, choose your fabric, take some lessons and empower/ free yourself
