Plus Size Models Finally!

Finally, fashion designers and fashion magazines have adapted a reality i.e. to use models in plus size for their business! As I've always thought, it's quite nonsense and unrealistically, designers used size 0 cat walk models for showing their styles whilst the majority of women in society is in size 14 and above! And for women's fashion magazines, most of their audiences are full figured house wives with kids, these plus size women would never see themselves wearing styles as in pictures of stick thin models.

Sizing Problems for Women's Clothing in Australia

Yesterday I watched the Current Affairs about the problems women have faced when they shop for their clothes size at different shops or at department stores with different brands/designers. Not only Australian sizing is inconsistent, the problems are all over the world especially when people shop for their clothes over the internet; it would be difficult for having an international sizing standard for all countries; it's why I wrote articles, videos ( http://youtu.be/PoAHh-lpjMI ) to give plus size women some tips on how to buy a good fit swimsuit online.

A Courage Plus Size Woman!

The Sydney Skinny is a fully ticketed event for swimmers and supporters in order to raise fund for the Foundational of NSW National Parks and Wildlife. The event will be on the 23rd of February this year, people who join it will swim naked. They are males, females, all shapes and sizes but among them, there is a courage plus size blogger, Pip Giles who is a size 22.

While constant media and fashion industry promote the beauty of slim women, they make plus size women feel like they are unwanted and the nice side of luscious curves are often overlooked.

Pip Giles thinks different! She is proudly to say "I'm a size 22 and I'm swimming naked". To her, the beauty of bodies depends on different perceptions, just like people with different personalities. Most of our women, thick or thin, are shy of exposing their naked bodies but this very brave lady wants to inspire other women by doing it for a cause. She wants to tell people, who are obsessed with their perfect body image, should stop thinking because it would be unachievable. 

Good on ya, Pip Giles!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Designers' Tiny Sized Samples for Curvy Celebrities

Not all celebrities are size 0! Some of those are curvy such as Adele Laurie or Sofia Vegara but designers unrealistically sent size 0 dress samples to them; here what Sofia Vergara spoke at last night’s Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner:

( At Curvysea, I have used real sized models for my Curvysea Swimwear brand http://www.curvysea.com )

Donatella Versace has refused to use real women in a Versace for H&M photoshoot.

I read an article today regarding criticism to Donatella Versace, the well known brand designer, for refusing to use real women models for her new fashion line. I'm not surprise at all; most designers in the world still have not changed their minds on making their clothes targeting slim young girls: First of all, young girls' bodies are thin and mostly come in one flat shape; easy to fit and therefore will create a good reputation for them; secondly, it costs less fabric and will bring more profits for those designers and lastly, the young thin models will create good images in their designed clothes.

"This is so typical of 99.9 per cent of designers: they only want their clothes worn by the very young and the very thin," said Liz Jones from the Daily Mail

In my opinion, women in our society, who come in different shapes and sizes, all deserve to make themselves look beautiful and they would, by wearing clothes which suit them. For my swimwear line, I've been very happy to use real women models and I was lucky to find them.

Kristie Alley Shows Off Her Curves at 60

At 60 years old, Kristie Alley has proved that women have no limit in making themselves beautiful, and the way of her dressing makes her look 20 years younger than her real age.

When women reach the age, many think they do not need to buy nice clothes or to dress up elegantly any more and start neglecting their appearance completely.
okay you might think Kristy is a celebrity with plenty of money to spend on her appearance including her clothes; but there are some tricks which help you enhance your look without breaking a bank. For example knowing your body shape and choosing clothes which minimise your body flaws and accentuate your best asset; in Summer, wearing a nice swimsuit that designed to suit your style would bring back your confidence.
Nothing proves that age is just a number. Flaunt it if you've got it, ladies!

My New Website Curvysea.com

It's the time to give Curvysea online boutique a new face! I decided to hire a professional web developer to replace the old website to a new one. The new website still has a main purpose to target and to serve plus size women in the fashion/clothing market. It looks more beautiful, wider with larger product images and easier navigation.
The shopping cart, however, is required more steps during the check out to help customers retrieve their details later once they go through the whole check out system. I am not too keen on this system because it creates more work for customers but I hope they will understand and get used to it.
So far the new website is up and running, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
