Plus Size Clothing Basics

• Worry less about the number on the tag and more about overall size of the garment when it comes to choosing your fit.  Years ago, designers learned that if they put a smaller tag number on a piece of clothing, they could make women feel better about wearing their designs because they could say they were in a smaller size.  Other designers use industry standards for measuring without “cutting those corners.”  So look at the overall size, and try to remember which of your favorite designers tend to “cut small” or “cut big.” Buy the size that fits, not the size with the number that you like best.
• If you’re buying clothing that is 100% cotton, buy a size larger than you wear comfortably every day.  Cotton will shrink, both vertically and horizontally.  You will take a smaller piece of clothing out of the dryer. 

When you are buying your Plus Size Clothes for casual wear, just remember the basics and your shopping trip will be faster!
