I hear the cries about us curvy women not putting our money where the designer fashions are when they do deem to create for our size. Seriously? Like what size? A size 10, 12, 14, 16 - L,XL? Where are the sizes 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and even higher? Because there are full-figured women out there who needs to look good too.
And don't get me started on those who think a designer shouldn't create for me because I can't afford it. You're probably right on that front. I can't afford to drop $1000 on a shirt like it's hot potato. Nope, never have and never will! I'm sure many women out there won't do that either because some of us just don't have that type of disposable income.
However, we do want to look good, we do love to shop, (maybe not everyday) and we do love a good sale, what's wrong with that? Hmmmm...seems a lot to think about my curvy divas. I'll share more in upcoming articles. To kick this off though there's a question I want to ask, as in the title of this piece.
What do we need when it comes to our clothing? Do we want the Marc Jacobs of the world to design for us? Or would any mainstream, as in non-label, non-name-brand, non-associated designer do just fine? Are we too cheap? Do we get in our own way and everyone run from our industry because we don't know what we want?
Leave me a comment and let me what your thoughts are on this.
