Jessica London Plus Size Fall Fashion Line 2007

Stephanie Dray
The Jessica London plus size fall fashion line is carefully attuned to this year's trends. The easy stuff, like lace, ruffles, and animal prints are all there on display. But when it comes to converting more complicated trends into plus size clothing, like the plus size wide leg pant, Jessica London misses. If you're looking for plus size wide leg pants, Jessica London offers only a contemporary wide leg trouser which goes too far and will overwhelm a shorter frame. Try the flat front sateen plus size pants instead, but beware that like many of the Jessica London plus size fall fashion line's best offerings, they're only available in limited sizes.

Plus Size Dresses

Where the Jessica London plus size fall fashion line really shines, however, is in the dress department. Animal and graphic prints are all the rage this season, and the plus size dresses don't disappoint. One of the best offerings is the swirl-print knit dress with a tie belt for an adjustable fit. For all-season versatility, Jessica London also offers the Hidden-Slimmer Print dress with a hidden panel to make you look about a size smaller. If you're looking for a simpler plus size dress, consider the smocked jersey dress which is not only made of wonderful stretch jersey, but has a surplice empire waist to emphasize the narrowest part of the body.

Plus Size Outerwear

Jessica London's plus size fall fashion line also features some impressive outwear to protect you from autumn's weather. The wool walking coat in cinnabar is so sophisticated that you'll be the envy of your friends. It also comes in bold red and winter white, but if you prefer a drabber look, you can always enjoy it in black, charcoal or camel. (To complete the look, Jessica London even offers matching textured leather gloves.)

For something lighter for those warm days before the snowflakes fall, there's also the all-weather walking coat which deftly avoided the temptation to go double-breasted, and settled upon a more modern, belted, silhouette. But, for an even trendier look, get a trenchcoat in Kelly Green.

Wide Calf Boots and Accessories

Your fall wardrobe won't be complete until you own a fabulous pair of wide calf boots, and Jessica London's plus size fall fashion line has a number to choose from. Extremely trendy are the tall wide calf boots with a patent-leather finish. Then there are the wickedly stylish suede and leather boots, with metal trim. But for something just as trendy, with a lower heel, check out the tall buckle boots in faux suede for only $39.

To round out your outfits this fall, you may need a fabulous bag. Jessica London's suede bag is nicely scaled to the plus size form and will go with a multitude of outfits.

Conclusion

Overall, the Jessica London plus size fall fashion line continues to disappoint in its limited selection of sizes, but provides sleeker, more tailored looks than its plus size catalog competition.
