I do not normally have a strong opinion about tube dresses with the smocked bodice but I absolutely love this Striped chiffon maxi dress from Lane Bryant.

Ok, I know this is a cross between a nightgown and a muumuu but I love this dress. It comes in three colors including the sage green shown here. Ulla Popken carries this style in sizes 12 to 34 for $59. This dress screams lazy summer day to me but it is made of 100%…
The latest craze is the rebirth of the six piece wardrobe. A few months ago I watched the ladies of the View play with six pieces and was inspired to create a plus size version. The basic idea is to use six pieces of clothing to make seven outfits for the week. This type of…
