The right pair of denim jeans may be the single most important piece of clothing in your wardrobe and will without a doubt be the most versatile piece in your collection. Plus size denim lines are ever increasing and the trend focused options available in standard sizing are rapidly becoming available for the plus size community. From your favorite tee to a kimono top, your entire look can be changed without ever taking off your denim. However, what looks stylish and sexy on one woman, makes another one look frumpy or outdated. So, how do you know what's right for you? Below are some basic guidelines to follow when shopping for the perfect piece of denim.
The golden rule is: Know what thyself is workin with! If you got it flaunt it, accentuate the positives. Booty like J Lo? Mile long legs? These are the features you want to accentuate. Work with different washes and of the minute denim shapes like boot-cut and wide leg that enhance your favorite features.
What is your body style? Wide Hips, avoid the temptation of drowning yourself in relaxed fit jeans, they will only add inches where you're trying to lose them. Instead draw the eye down and balance the body with a pair of slight flare boot-cut jeans in a mid rise that's fitted throughout the hips. If you have short legs, make sure you pay attention to the length; this is one of the most important aspects when choosing a pair of jeans. Denim should be about a half of an inch above the ground when wearing heels or flats. Darker washes, with a front crease from the knee to the hem, also elongate your legs. A new option re-emerging is the higher waist trouser jean, which not only slims, but creates the illusion of mile long legs. Girls with a boyish figure or a body style considered to be rectangular will want to opt for a cut that will add the illusion of having curves, such as a mid-rise flare leg jean, where the denim is fitted through the hips and thigh, with the flare beginning above the knee.
The devil is in the details; you will want to consider different details of the jean itself. A fan of distressing and aged denim? Make sure not to go overboard. Extreme fading or jeans that appear to be destroyed may be popular with 15 year old pop tarts, but in reality can look tacky and dated. Dark denim in a crisp shape is always chic, as is a medium wash with well placed whiskering. Pay attention to pocket shape and angle. Hexagonal shapes that angle in towards the center tend to work best in creating a heart shaped booty for any body. Pockets placed slightly higher on the tush tend to make a flat booty look perkier and higher. Flap, or cargo pockets, also add some oomph to a small tush. Long pockets that pass the bottom of the tush are fantastic for shaping and lifting an ample booty. Avoid excess fading on the butt and the thighs, as they will make these areas look larger. Also pay attention to a lot of whiskering around the zipper area, which can also accentuate the hips. When considering rise, most women will be best served by a mid rise (a few inches below your belly button).
When choosing the right pair of plus size denim know your body type first and foremost, it is the basis of your search. Know which styles will work with your type and most importantly, what makes you feel fabulous.

By Jeanette Pollock
Just because a woman is into plus size clothing doesn’t mean her wardrobe has to be serviceable and not sexy. There are slinky night gowns, sexy teddies, black lace corset and even some naughty French maid outfits to be found online in the shops of sexy plus size clothing merchants.
One plus size clothing merchant we found online had a variety of sexy garb, that included a black and white playboy bunny dress with tail attached, a matching collar, white cuffs and sexy rabbit ears.

Another of the naughty plus size wardrobes was a white spandex sexy school girl get up with a low cut white spandex top with a front tie, and a very short polyester and cotton plaid skirt with a Velcro closure. This plus size sexy clothing outfit also comes with white stretch stockings with stay-up elastic and a ruffled panty in a Brazilian cut. The cost to don these "learning curves" was $66.

Plus Size Clothes: This History A Big Plus
By Jeanette Pollock
The story of the best known and first-ever plus size clothing retailer, RedCats USA, known until 2004 as Brylane, is the story of a young Lithuanian immigrant, Lena Bryant, who in 1901 started the firm. Bryant's husband died leaving her financially destitute. From money acquired with the sale of her diamond earrings, Bryant bought a sewing machine and started her dressing making business. Her plus size clothing beginnings was in the design and creation of wedding gowns. They she had an inspiration that resulted in her much lauded "number five" maternity tea dress. This instant success was the start of the biggest plus size catalog firm in the industry.
Lane Bryant is the flagship brand of the Redcats USA plus size clothing empire. It is noted for comfortable sportswear reasonably priced. The Limited Inc. bought Lane Bryant in 1981, relaunching the catalog division as Brylane, which in 2004 was renamed Redcats USA.
In 1907 Lerner Shops premiered its plus size clothing shops on Manhattan's 7th Avenue, focusing on clothing that plus size women could wear to the office and then out on the town at night. In 1985 Lerner became part of the Limited Inc. and the plus size clothing catalog division of Lerner shops debuted. One of the most popular Lerner shop plus size clothing types are suits and dresses with style and flair.
Roaman's plus size clothing was founded in 1932. This retail chain, centered on women who wanted to look great in spite of obesity, began on Manhattan's fifth avenue right across the street from Lord & Taylor. The success of this plus size clothing line was so popular that its expansion finally totaled 50 stores. Redcats USA acquired this second most popular plus size clothing catalog in 1982.
