  1. From the Plus Sized Fashion World, I would love longer structured jackets and tops!
    Being a larger woman doesn’t mean that all of our clothing has to be “boxy”. Give me some long long sleves with some flair to wear under a great structured longer denim jacket!

  3. I’d just comment for the question on what I want from the plus-size fashion world:
    extended sizing, covering up to 6X; extended choices and right now, I’m craving longer shirts in general, at least 34″ long.

    Reply

  7. I want sexy tops (no more t-shirts) that are not sleeveless and that flow over the belly.

    Reply

  8. I would like to see more plus-size clothing in PETITE LENGTHS! We can be cute even if we are short and plus-sized! 🙂 Especially skirts, please! Thanks!

  9. 1. I adore these dresses – I just ordered some after seeing this post.
    I want more cute dresses like this!
    2. I follow you on twitter.

  18. Aaaand, lastly, what I want from the plus size fashion world –
    I want clothes with the right proportions. I don’t understand how sometimes, I’ll try to get a simple t-shirt or something and…
    1) the neck hole will be GAPINGLY large (No, just because I’m a size 24, doesn’t mean my neck’s a 24, too…)
    2) if it’s a long-sleeve shirt, the sleeves will be WAY too short (I’ve experienced this, even in up-scale stores. What’s with stores thinking that just being I’m fat, I have short arms? =/ )
    3) the length will either be unflattering too long (You get the tent effect…) or way too short (doesn’t cover the belly when you lift your arms.)
    Also – more lingerie, please! Plus-size body doesn’t necessarily equal plus size boobays! Where’re my 50b bras in cute styles and prints?!

  19. I want better fashion for petite. I don’t want a shirt that looks like a dress just so it can fit me. The sleeves are always way too long as well.

  20. I want tailored, wel made and affordable clothing made for the different ares of my life (i.e. work, weekend, outdoor, black tie) in the same-up-to-date styles and trends as traditional straight sized clothing. I’m tired of finding sweaters, blouses, and tops that only come in 3/4-sleeve lengths. What? A big girl doesn’t want covering for her forearms? I want the same sparkly, sexy, sophisticated options as every other woman without having to travel to the far distances to get it.

  26. I want affordable fashions that are sexy but not slutty. It seems like there is often either hideous patterns and moo moos or shiny latex and mini skirts. cant we have something in the middle??

    Reply

  28. More beautiful patterns (Shop Translated really gets that right!)
    I follow you on twitter! @stillredheaded

  29. Non matronly and non slutty skirts. It seems the great majority fall into one of those two categories.

    Reply

  31. I would love fashionable, figure flattering clothing. I often walk into a store that I know carries plus-sizes and see fun outfits in the regular sizes that I know would look great on me to find out that they didn’t make the same outfit in plus-size.

    Reply

  34. I’d love to see more fitted separates with colorful prints and skirts that can sit high on the waist and be long enough on our legs.

    Reply

  39. I’d love to see lines carry up to US 32 in stores! Too many plus lines stop around a US 22-26.
    More structure and detail in clothing. I’m often surprised at the comparison between the level of detail when comparing straight sized clothing to plus. We don’t need jersey tents!

    Reply

  42. I would love to see better descriptions of how clothing fits at the online plus clothing stores. I live in the middle of nowhere and always am hesitant about to order b/c of the hassle if it might not fit. For example, I really like how LucieLu has comments from the models on how something fits (ie. if a shirt runs small). Or if maybe they listed the bra size of the woman modeling the clothing, so we could look at the picture and gauge how the clothing might sit on us.g

  47. Done all the above…I want to see more structured pieces from the plus size fashion industry. How much stretchy & flowy can we wear! I need more modern prints as well. But over all I do feel the plus fashion industry is progressing, baby steps!

    Reply

  48. I would love to see longer shirts. All the stores around me have larger shirts but they are all short. I like them longer because it makes me feel better.

    Reply

  50. I want shirts that cover the arms! And are actually long enough to cover my stomach so I don’t have to worry.

    Reply

  54. What do I want to see? Plus size clothes that don’t look like curtains from the 70’s…. I know I’m a bigger girl, but why do the “nice” tops have to make me look even bigger?!

    Reply

  56. I love all your favourite tops and dresses from the INES collection. I probably would put the tops to more use though. Gorgeous.

    Reply

  57. I’m a large T-shape and I find that shoulder/sleeves are always too tight. I would like to get some clothes that flatter my T-Shape and look more fitted to my body – Made to measure styles kind of outfits is what I would love to wear. Not that parachute look.

  62. Please , no 3/4 length sleeves…Who think that looks good on big arms? Please , a great pair of jeans!

    Reply

  63. I want my plus size fashion to be stylish; not frumpy and boring!!
    I want style, access and affordability!!!

    Reply

  69. I want more fitted dresses that have some room in the chest area. they never give enough room for the chest. Also, I’m sick of giant patterns. We don’t all like huge flowers on our clothes.

    Reply

  72. The plus size fashin world needs better choices! I am tired of seeing the same shirt made out of cheap fabric at every store I go to. I am also having the hardest time finding wedding dresses the are casual and actually look good on my plus size frame!

    Reply

  73. I want more ATTRACTIVE options such as this dress. Sure clothes fit but that doesn’t meant they are attractive and stylish!

    Reply

  77. My mother-in-law is a plus size & I find it difficult to purchase things for her that are stylish & that don’t look like a sack. I’d like to see a bit more shape to plus size clothing.

    Reply

  78. I’d like to see more plus size petites–my mother is a plus and a petite and I love to buy her clothes but they are hard to find!

    Reply

  81. I would like clothes with shapes and clothes that fit without looking like you are wearing your Grandmothers clothes at 30!!!
    Why does the fashion industry think if you have a larger hiney that you don’t have a waist? AND pants don’t have to be all elastic!
    And that is all I have to say about that.

    Reply

  84. As my old granny used to say, I don’t want to look like Aunt Hippy Hog when I’m wearing a big dress!

    Reply

  87. I want more variety. Most of the time it seems like our only choices are very conservative stuff or very casual stuff. Fun and classy things like the pictured dress are a rarity in plus size fashion!

    Reply

  90. I’d like to see more plus sized clothes that look like their smaller counter parts.Also why do they always think big woman love sequins,glitter and kitties/puppies on shirts & blouses?Also i’d love to see more extended sizes and for them to also be in talls.As a big girl who is just shy of 6′ this is a must.Also panties in bigger sizes.And not all big woman have big breats,b cups untie and maybe we can find some bra’s.I don’t need d cups but the b cups i find always are to small around and i hate adding a bunch of extenders.Also my shoulders are sadly line backer size so i can’t find bra’s that fit over my big shoulders,arg!

    Reply

  92. I’d like even more military designs. A lot of the ones that have come out for plus size are too flowy for something that is typically “harsh” and “stern” in design. I want a plus size military look that looks fairly tough.

    Reply

  95. I want more colors, patterns, and textures. I want younger looking clothes, and clothes for the office that I don’t have to squeeze into. Winter coats with a bit of give around the waist and shoulders. Winter ski pants in all colors! Cute panties in all cuts! Beautiful, sexy bras..not the old white matronly ones…LOL…Christmas dresses that dont look like a smock, and Hallowe’en costumes in all sizes…and bigger belts to fit around my waist.

    Reply

  99. I want to see a nice, reasonable priced button down shirt that fits someone besides an A cup.

    Reply

  103. I want more clothes that are big on top & big around the bottom but that actually show you have a waist. I have to walk around in belted tents half the time!!

    Reply

  108. I want clothes that do not look like tents, most plus size clothes have no definition what so ever! Thanks for the chance!

    Reply

  109. I like classic styles that are designed for a fuller figure – don’t make us look like refrigerator boxes!

    Reply

  111. Better proportioned clothing, for one thing…and more subtly sexy clothing. It seems like I can find prairie-wear or ho-tastic stuff, but finding things in between can be a true challenge.

    Reply

  112. What I want are clothes that look good on MY body. That’s it. I don’t want to be wearing something that my mother would be wearing. I want something fashionable that looks good. It’s gotten better since I was in my teens, but it could get even better than what it is.

  134. I received my top a couple days ago and forgot to let you know that I got it..With all the holiday shopping and wrapping I forgot till now..Anyway, it is such a BEAUTIFUL top. I received the INES Split Neck Top in the chocolate color and I love it. My husband doesn’t like many tops on me (or me either for that matter) because of the way I am shaped but this top seems to be made for me. It has a flowing look that doesn’t bring attention to any of the areas that are normally a problem for me..If anyone reads this, please know that even though the shirts and dresses from the INES part looks beautiful, they look even more beautiful in real life view. Thanks so much for the giveaway and giving me the chance to win it….
