Lady Bountiful

In this day and age when it’s all about disposable high street fashion in barbie doll sizes, it’s become increasingly difficult for plus-​size shoppers to be able to find anything in their size which can be frustrating and embarrassing.
Lady Bountiful hopes to fill the gap in the market, much like Long Tall Sally, but what I fail to understand is why these stores lose sense of the latest trends in doing so. I think it’s more than possible for a plus-​sized woman to be able to wear contemporary fitted skirts, jackets and blouses in simple and clean fabrics, in fact in my opinion it gives them more shape.
But all I see here are boxy and baggy blouses covered in patterns or with ruched detailing to cover the girls up like tents. Yes, some of the trousers and skirts are simpler, but still they feel like they’re devoid of any of the latest fashion styles seen on the high street. It’s just not for me because this store refuses to incorporate current trends at all, something a lot of larger girls really want to be able to wear.
