Full Figured Question - Is A Shelf Bra Right For Me?
From reader comments come the most interesting posts and this question is no exception. Today’s subject is the shelf bra.
I’m interested in how to fit a shelf bra. I have a smaller band and larger cups, 32F/34E. I feel like the girls would pop right out of a shelf bra unless it was specifically made for larger breasts. Some tips on how to actually wear a shelf bra would be beneficial.
Full Figured Question - What Size is Considered Full Figured?
Just like everything in life the term Full Figure has a different definition depending on who you talk to. For me when I think of full figure equals men wearing a pants size 38 and above and women size 18 and above. As you can see the perception that I have as to what I consider larger does not match what the supposed norm is.
In the world of modeling full figured is considered a size10/12. Depending on the year it is the fashion industry states that full figured is either a size 12 or a 14. Makes you wonder if there is a fashion forecaster that flips a coin during the Winter season to let the advertisiers and buyers know what the latest full figured numbers will be.

Full Figured Question - Jennifer Hudson’s Wardrobe
Its 2008 and what better way to start the new year off than by answering some reader questions. Last year Jennifer Hudson dazzled audiences on screen and with the debut of her album. With so much exposure the question was bound to come up about her clothes. The Full Figured Question of the day is: Where can I find plus size dresses like Jennifer Hudson wears?
The quick answer to the question is buy a Vera Wang or Escada original. Since most ladies and some men on a budget can’t afford to spend a months salary on one dress I have a few ideas to help out.

Full Figured Question - What to Wear if you Have a Fuller Figure?
This weeks question is one that is asked a lot but never really truly answered. Even in the years of me blogging the answer to this question has been more of my opinion through observation and talking to others. Really it comes down to individual taste but I think that my time of writing on this matter has given me a little insight into clothing choices for larger men and women.
- Wear clothing that fits. I have said this in many different ways but it bears repeating. Clothes that are to loose or to tight are not flattering to plus size or any other size for that matter.
