I love the time we are in right now for plus size fashion. Designers are experimenting, retailers are making concessions, and the consumers are demanding more options. What does this mean? We are at a place where there is healthy competition in plus size fashion and style at various prices!
Why am I sharing?

Well, we have been invited to NY to participate in the JMS Style Symposium!
GEEKED!
Why? Why JMS?
Well, any way that I have the chance to share with brands, retailers, designers, and others what WE want, NEED, DESIRE in fashion, it is ALL GOOD! I love to mix my high fashion with low prices any day! But for sake of community, any way we can make progress, it is bound to have a trickle down and up effect!
Just My Size recognizes that “plus size fashion and its influencers are leaders in the mainstream voice, speaking openly and proudly about the challenges, concerns, and successes of the plus size woman and women in general”- how’s that for all the progress made!

- Fashion forward and fashion affordable

In addition to this roundtable, we will have the opportunity to watch the JMS Fashion Show! Do you remember the one from last spring?
With all I shared, I need a favor!
I need for you to tell me your biggest frustrations for shopping for plus size fashion! I would love to bring YOUR feedback to the JMS Style Symposium. What is your wish list? What are you looking for in fashion that has not been made available to you?

Ohhh it is an invitation type pf event- that is why I am soliciting your call outs and thoughts!!! 🙂
PS – my biggest frustration is that when thinking plus-size, often people who are a size 40B or a size 40A are left out! we are here, too!
Will share Netta! Thank you for the love and notes!
OK, when I think of JMS I think of:
*Granny panties
*Functional (i.e. ugly, but supportive) bras
*Oversized, boxy t-shirts
They may have an image problem.
Hahahaha… duly noted! Thank you so kindly!
OOOOO!!! I have such a hard, hard, hard time finding long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and toppers. What’s up with the 3/4-sleeves all the time for plus-sized women? lol.
Got your call out and duly noted!… AND That is a great question!!!
This trip will be so much fun for you!!!! I think it is hard to find fashionable accessories like belts and jewelry that fits are wrists. I would also like trendier clothing and better basics. I mean basics that flatter and don’t look frumpy.
I can’t wait to meet you!
