I was specifically referring to the links you posted...those prints on plus sizes are not flattering.

Absolutely agree. The fashion industry would love you to spend your money on everything they throw at you. It's been said before...just because they make it in your size...

I could definitely see number 1 worn both in the workplace or at some sort of brunch outing.

I don't like #3 at all. The pattern itself is okay and if it were a dress, I'd probably like it but I don't like the patterned pantsuit look.

I think number 2 does wonders for her figure. The right cut does wonders for the full figured gal, I tell ya.

I wasn't about any of those either. I'm not the animal print type either, but I think this is pretty:

#2: Nice for social event. Great jewelry would enhance it.

#3: Pattern is too busy. Haltered pants suit? I like alot from the 1970s but this doesn't work.

What about these?

#1: Pattern could work on some people. The sleeves are too tight on the arms and need some allowance. Different colored belt could enhance the dress.

#2. Absolutely not. Pattern is too loud and the proportions are way off. This is a one-shouldered dress. Isn't that enough variation? The gigantic bell sleeve on the other side only emphasizes the absence on the other side and is nearly as long as the length of the dress?

Yuk! This outfit totally cuts the upper body into thirds---1/3 leopard and 2/3 solid black. Full-figured women look better in clothing that lengthens the torso, not fragments it. The corset portion is rather nice in the black color and fit though. But the top portion doesn't work, especially with that fluffy little sleeve thing going on.

OMG, even though I don't agree with some of what you said ..... I totally love your insight

Thanks for responding.
