Some Baby Phat styles I enjoy wearing!
I love these knit denim Capri! They are still available in sizes 14 and 16! I am glad I got my long, skinny version of these knit denim jeans, because they are only available in sizes 18 and 20 now. They look great, are comfy and I hope Baby Phat makes more!

I also highly recommend this wrap front top, whose smooth front makes little of your belly! Well it does mine! Consider this shirt just a picture, or an archive, because it is out of stock now, sorry, 8/16/10.

I love the ease of movement, the wrap top is good in that way too, but the mutton leg top, and the other, smocked from the under bust down, plus size blouse I wrote about are the best!
You will find this mostly cotton, some spandex plus size sundresses / jumper2 in Baby Phat's Sale, in purple too. It has a smocked back from your waist up!

This beautiful Apple Bottoms dress below is also part of the Bohemian Summer collection. It has a ruffle neckline and criss-cross back. You will find a printed top similar to this dress there too.

I brought one, in white, Baby Phat Smocked Waist Puff Sleeve Top, and had to get it in black as well! You can find out why by reading Blouses for large cup bra wearing women.
I figure the smocking the above mentioned top has at its waist would be flattering for many other full figure women too!
Fortunately Baby Phat has new, button front, blouses with waist smocking. Her is a sleeveless Dereon style, below, which also comes in yellow. It comes in sizes 1X to 3X and you can wear it on, or off your shoulder!

Here is a slightly less expensive Apple Bottoms' style with stud accents, which also comes in slate.

I have decided these trendy styles deserve their own page. So here it is!
Trendy Plus Size Fashions
For business, casual and nights out!
I do not know about you, but I like to feel when I buy a clothing style, I want to be able to wear it for years. I also prefer clothes that double, as business and / or evening, club, wear.
That is why I like urban fashions. I consider them, often very figure flattering, fresher classics. There for good to last, handy to have in the wardrobe and a good investment!
Like this Dereon Sweater dress, on sale and in sizes 1XL to 3XL. I see from time to time at urban wear eBay stores too.

The dresses, t-shirts, leggings and blouses at the stores featured on this page, in the right column, tend to come in sizes 1XL to 3XL. They all have beautiful accessories and sexy shoes!
This dazzling Baby Phat platform sandals are, believe it or not, rather modest, heel height wise. Not bad price wise either! These sandals are on sale now at $55 and still available in sizes 5 to 8.5 in whole and half sizes, as well as sizes 9, 10 and 11.

All these stores have their own wide selections of unique plus size jeans, and a smaller array of leggings. Actually, I do not find a leggings section at Dereon at the moment. Each store has their own unique qualities, besides obvious style differences:
I find Baby Phat's and Dereon's styles are often more feminine than Apple Bottoms and Rocawear. Not too surprisingly, they both have girls and new born sections. Baby Phat has plus size swimwear part of the year. Dereon has bras, (32B to 36C is what I am finding so far), and panties, to size XL.
Baby Phat
Baby Phat fashions feature their beautiful logo cat line drawing on their signature tees and jeans. You will often find it on their plus size swimwear, usually plain tank style one piece bathing suits. Other than that, in dresses and blouses for instance, it is very subtle. Ok it is pretty prominent in plenty of their jewelry styles too.
Baby Phat has a Plus Size section, but if you are looking for average size women's clothing their, it is in Juniors. If the size chart you click on at an item's description shows junior's sizes, use the size chart in their left column menu when you are in their plus size section.
My Excellent experiences with shopping Baby Phat!
-
Different colors of the same style at Baby Phat are listed separately.
-
They, and Apple Bottoms, have size charts available at each item's description. Sadly Dereon and Rocawear do not provide size charts. It keeps me from trying their apparel...
-
You can usually find a Zoom / More Views at the bottom left of each items description.
-
I find their tops, blouses, jeans, and dresses to be sized exactly as their size charts say!
Because they make it easy to really see what you are buying, on a full figure woman, usually, with true size charts. I believe this is why I have no experience to share with you about their exchange or return department...
Also, I did once shop them when they had a free shipping deal for the amount I purchased that day. When I saw I was charged shipping, I called Baby Phat Customer Service. I was delta with politely and the shipping charge was returned to my account promptly!
Shop Baby Phat and Receive Same Day Shipping. *Orders must be placed by 2pm EST. I placed an order between 1 and 2 est., and was pleasantly surprised, to meet the UPS guy delivering my order at 12:30, the next afternoon! I paid standard shipping. It looks like Dereon has a similar shipping standard, but I have not tried that yet.
Shop A New Sale Everyday! Shop Baby Phat! Yep! Looks like. In fact, I am beginning to think shopping Baby Phat can, (Provided the item you want does not go out of stock before it goes on sale.), can be just as inexpensive as shopping One Stop Plus.
Just watch the item, or their sales, subscribe to their mailing lists to be alerted to their several hours, up to 50% off sales, and you have a real good chance to get what you want for much less.
Just go to Baby Phat, then select New Special Offers in their left column once you go to Plus Size there to see what is on sale today!
Not that all the available sales have prevented me from shopping what I know will work for me at full price. Only to see it go on sale, then later on sale with a discount later.
I find I am not disappointed. Even if it is still available in my size, as the price drops. Just wearing their clothes, how they feel and how I look in them, makes up for the price.
I am, just a tad, kicking my self for not shopping them sooner! I have an inverted triangle shape, with a large gut and bust line. I am thrilled to not look frumpy anymore!
And yes, I will start trying these other urban fashion stores below as well!
Apple Bottoms
Apple Bottoms apparel, especially their jeans, feature their apple logo. Their women's plus size jeans are in their Denim Shop.
Click on these new jeans by Apple Bottoms to go to their New Arrivals! There you will find them in a clam digger length too.

Rocawear
Rocawear now has size charts at each item's description! Yes. I have been waiting for this!
Rocawear and Apple Bottoms seem, to me anyway, to have more club wear type styles.
Click on this Rocawear dress to see what they have in New Arrivals!

Rocawear apparel features several different logos. One is a simple loop logo. Perfect for if you really do not want to feel like someone else's bill board! They also have beautiful color saturation in lots of their clothing, especially t shirts!
They have polo shirts, as well as fashion shirts and tees. Last year they had a fine collection of fashion vests! Excellent for hiding muffin top or smoothing out your top when you best bras are all in the wash at once! Now 3 of them, all in size 2X. are on sale in Rocawear's Plus Size Under $30 section of their Roc Bottom sale section!

Dereon
Dereon features a fleur-de-lis logo. That fleur-de-lis is mostly prevalent in their signature section of apparel and jeans. They have a wide selection of dresses, tops, pants, lavish accessories and sexy high heeled shoes! Sadly, size charts have disappeared from Dereon's site, too. Like Rocawear, if you can find one there please send me a Blog reply and let me know where to find it there!
Click on this Dereon studded scoop neck top to see what they have in New Arrivals!
