There is no doubt that tremendous growth has taken place in the plus size community and industry. There was a time, not too long ago when we were rarely represented in the media. Now, you can turn on your television, open a magazine, or click on your computer and see plus size women. Although this is great and I am happy to see it, I must admit that I feel a little left out and misrepresented at times.
I know that I am not the only one that wonders, where are the fuller figured, belly having, thigh jiggling, full face size 20+ plus size women! The girls that are my size, the girls with a little gut that are not as well proportioned. Other than Tess Holiday, you rarely see sizes 20 and up represented, even by brands that cater to us.
Now please don’t get it twisted, I am not trying to shade anyone in the curvy community and I appreciate all of the love we are being shown. However, I need the world to know that curvy confidence doesn’t stop at a size 18 and some of us don’t have great proportions but, BUT! OUR CHIC IS ON FLEEK! (hehehe)
Don’t believe me? Check out these cuties with a little extra extra cushion who are all things CURVY, CONFIDENT and CHIC.

I love this post!!!! As an ultra curvy size 24/26 I often dare to wear fabulous fashions that showcase my huge arms, belly, thighs and behind. I wholeheartedly embrace my body and I want all the other ladies to do the same! I work in the fashion industry and my clients who are straight sizes 0-16 often say “I can’t wear such and such because it shows my fat xyz” and it surprises me because I am a big girl who doesn’t worry about such nonsense! If a size 8 girl won’t show her arms, we have a huge cultural body image issue. All women are beautiful and unique, and we should all wear exactly what we want and celebrate our beauty while we can! Werk, sisters!!!
