What in the Mrs. Garret is that? You know what makes plus sized ladies look great? A shapeless poncho in giant argyle.
Next.
Let’s see. These are jeggings, which — ok — they aren’t the worst item of clothing, BUT…this description. High-rise. Pull-on. Pedal. Light wash. I’ve never seen an item with more descriptors. Never.
Then there’s this hideous whatever.
Another poncho. Again, cover up the big girls. Put a hole in a bedspread and call it a day. Why is this color locked? Why is the belt coming through? You can see where the model’s waist is, yet she looks twice that size in the poncho. Gawd, I hope I never have to write “poncho“again this year.
Lastly (only because my eyes couldn’t take more).
A jumpsuit that is a jogger (which is nicer than saying “jogging suit,” but tests what it is) that is for some reason OFF THE SHOULDER. So, this is not actually to be worn to workout, although Livi is their activewear line. Can you imagine wearing this to jog in? You’d constantly be tugging on the top. Plus, no bra? And caucasian skin color? Nice that’s flattering on a bigger body. It even has a blouson waist to mimic a chubby middle. Love that.
For the love of plus-sized ladies everywhere, hire actual plus-size designers. You’re showing your industry ignorance and it’s insulting. I’m sorry for dropping my usual comedic take in this paragraph, but most of the US female population wears the sizes Lane Bryant carries and they need to be held to a higher standard. All of these items are on sale now. The jumpsuit is $59. Lane Bryant’s prices are high across the board and I don’t mind paying for quality pieces, but these are not it. A $59 flesh-colored off the shoulder jogger is not it.
