Saks Fifth Avenue has always had one of the best online shops for plus sizes and in my opinion has always had one of the best merchandised floors in the world of plus. So naturally I am excited and pleased to hear that they will be now offering designer brands like Cavalli, Oscar De La Renta, Chanel, YSL, Escada and many more in sizes 14-20 at their NYC flagship store on 5th Avenue.

Of course as with most things related to plus fashion there is a small hitch, for many years most of these brands have offered up to sizes 14-20 but they are in European sizes which translates on average two sizes smaller meaning a European size 14 is closer to a US size 10. On top of this Saks will only be stocking a few of those sizes in their NYC store, so if you ladies want to continue to shop these designers at Saks its time hit the 5th Avenue store!

For those of you who don’t live in the NYC area, I will be sure to check out the collection and let you know what I think.

Plus model Emme was on Rachel Ray yesterday. Emme had the wonderful opportunity of working with women who wear a size 20 and up!! We absolutely love the outfits she put together. Emme also gave some helpful hints about not being afraid of ruffles, highlighting waists, and pintucking. You’ll see all those elements featured in the outfits she put together for these lovely ladies. Watch the segment here.

I thought it would be fun for our 20+ ladies if I showed you where you can get some of the pieces featured and interpret the looks for yourself!
