Once upon a time Rubenesque women were all the rage. "Rubenesque" means... a woman's body that has a large bosom and pleasing curves. In other words, it also means bosomy, busty, buxom, curvaceous, curvacious, curvy... the way women were admired and coveted for centuries , at least until this century... when suddenly, skinny is all the rage and that skinny equals beautiful... and women who were larger, curvy and such were called plus sized or even fat....
Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren were considered to be among the most popular and beautiful women of their time and also to some now. However, if she was living in this century, she would probably be doing plus-sized modeling and working with a trainer 5 days a week to tone up as well...
Heck, if you look into history even the world's famous painting depict curvy women as models...
Anyway, I cannot change being who I am. Yours truly here has always been big boned and big sized, being a UK 12-14 most of my life, and I have to confess it can be a hassle looking for clothing that fit me, now even more, especially since age has caught up and I have already have three grown children...
Being full figured, big boned or curvy shouldn't mean we cannot be fashionable. We just have to look for fashion that look good on us.
However in Malaysia , there are not many choices since most of the fashionable clothing we see in store are all designed and made for people who are skinny or petite as is the norm in Asia.
So, I was thrilled when I found out about Plusify. Plusify is an online store that caters to big sized or at least curvy women like me...
DO check out PLUSIFY .
Plusify was started by a curvy woman herself, trying to help other curvy women look better and experiment with more designs, colours and fashion...
The online shop is easy to navigate and you can check out any of the clothes you admire... and read a little bit more about it...
Yours truly went shopping for a dress and was attracted to this dress....
I decided to get the dress... and so I registered myself and checked it out from the shopping cart..
One thing good about this website is that you do not really need a debit or credit card to use on it.. You can choose to pay by wiring the payment / pay over ATM or such...
And once you do, it all you have to do is just email a picture of the bank in slip to them and they will process the item you want to send to you...
And there you have it.... =) easy peasy.... so check it out.... and in a couple of days, I got my package and dress ... taa daaa....
However, if you are staying around KL or Selangor, I really must share this with you... Plusify is having their Anniversary Sale this Sunday, the 25th October from 11 am to 3 pm and you really shouldn't miss it!!!!
