Some of the highlights in Avenue.com are their chic dresses. The Velour Wrap Dress comes in a flattering sweetheart neckline for that essential little black dress for $80 in sizes 14-32. And for those that want a little flower power, their "Flirty Florals" (dresses) come in varying lengths, mostly made of georgette fabrics for a feminine touch and swing. Among the knit notables, Avenue's Chain Link Wrap Dress adds a slimming lengthwise texture, and the Abstract Palm two-piece skirt set combines cozy knit with a flary bottom. The photo shows Avenue's Long Boucle Jacket over their ruffle trim knit top, Stretch welt Pocket Pants, and matching Rebecca Leather Slingbacks.

JessicaLondon.com

Jessica London.com offers a wide selection of plus-sized blazers in simple to unique styles. Currently, the "Career Blazers" section carries some machine washable treats. The Flip Cuff Blazer comes in brilliant Aqua or White, for some icy style this winter. The collar is notched and has three buttons down the smooth front, with a bit of spandex for a stretch and comfortable fit in sizes 14-34. If you are looking for something more 'classic', try the Seasonless Jacket. As the name implies, this style is for all seasons. Colors include Black, Dark Brown, Heather Grey, Deep Wine, and Vanilla. They are $50 each, but when you buy one or more you get $5 off. This is a great time to buy up a few of these colors to match skirts or pants you already own and make a wise wardrobe expansion that can be used year round. Because they are also washable, they make for easy wearing and cleaning separates-perfect for your busy schedule. And last but not least, Jessica London's Tweed Vest is a great fashion statement for the fall. This vest has wonderfully tailored seams for flattery to any fuller figure. Match this with a crisp button down shirt and the complementing Tweed Skirt and you have a warm option for fall and winter. You can get the entire look for about $70 and toss in some elegant Leather or Suede Boots by Coup d'Etat Ltd for $44.00 and you can't lose.

LaneBryantcatalog.com

For those of you that like to be comfortable, LaneBryantcatalog.com has an assortment of knit pull-ons, featuring an elastic waistband. You can mix and match separates for an entirely different look. A pantsuit or skirt set is easy to derive from the Only Necessities 7-day collection. With cardigan jackets, pull on pants, and flary skirts, you can find what you need for the weekdays and the weekend. Sizing includes Tall and petite as well as regular, for perfect proportions. And for the younger crowd, there is the Candlelight and Champagne Skirt set, with a tailored styling and a pleated ruffle hem skirt for day or evening wear.

Roamans.com

Roamans.com is for those ladies that love flowers, bows, fringes, laces, and ruffled accents. Not only can you find fashionable Skirtsuits for the plus-sized woman, but you can also purchase matching hats with superb detail. Look for the Velour hi-lo flounce hem dress that's new this season. It is a gorgeous jacket and dress combo in Soft Berry. The black accents of the jacket create a slimming effect for those that are thick-waisted or short-waisted. Also check out the Unique tortoise ring skirt suit (yes, "unique" is in the actual name of the item). The longer jacket design stays in place all day and the pockets have a ring accent for a 'unique' look to your regular blazer and skirt set. Pick this up for $30-35 dollars and enjoy a wholly washable favorite. Although this site claims to carry size 12W, the sizes run big to give you extra room. If you are a size 12 in Misses this is not the same as a size 12W. The "W" indicates that you have more hip and bust than a Misses size and need extra material there. You might want to order a size lower than your normal size if you fall between size measurements or you have a smaller chest than your hip and waist measurements imply.
