you know if you look back at DVF’s past she has made plus size clothes before, with her DVF colour authority line, she also did a line with HSN called Silk Assets which also catered to plus size women, im assuming the lines didnt do well since she no longer does them, but on occasion you can find plus size DVF wear, its hard to come by, but they exsist…you just have to do a little searching.

NYC Lawyer – how dare any woman “insist” on having hips or boobs? Must drive you size 6 women crazy.

FYI, the average size of American women is a size 12. It’s amazing that the attitude of people like your self makes that seem like something weird. What’s weird is designers making clothes that are modelled by child-women without hips and breasts.

The reason they don’t carry clothes over a size 12 is that things that look good on a size 2 don’t look good on a 14 (or even a 12 really). Just making clothes wider and wider doesn’t mean the end result will be amazing. Larger girls should try to find clothes that cater to their body types instead of insisting on wearing outfits cut for women that don’t have hips or boobs. I am a size 6 and every designer makes clothing that could fit me. However, I am able to recognize that some things just look better on a 2. DVF’s runway collection or clothing would not look good on larger sizes–same as most designers. There is a reason plus-size and regular clothing is found in different stores/sections.

Jane – I thought it was interesting that the models were carrying bags, can’t wait to see them. Couldn’t find any decent pics online to get an idea of what they look like since most of them are dark in color. So much easier to see detail on lighter bags!

Well personal thoughts on Diane herself aside.
Look out of a great fall line of BAGS from them!

Saw them in a private showing a few weeks ago, they are tdf!

Spanish Moss – as someone that is also slightly larger than a size 12, I agree. Which is why I’ve never bought any DVF. No reason to encourage bad behavior.

i agree with spanish moss, i work part-time in a clothing store and we carry sizes for customers that are more than a size 12 as well as those below. there’s a lot of them that come into my store and designers would absolutely increase their profits by also catering to the plus size crowd.
