Top Plus Size Babydoll Tops for End of Summer 2007

With the summer here and the warmest weather still ahead, it's time for plus size fashionistas to take advantage of a figure-flattering trend, and invest in a plus size babydoll top. Here's a list of the top offerings this season:

Lane Bryant. Lane Brant has the widest variety of plus size babydoll tops this summer and they range from the lovely tailored babydoll cami in bold island prints to the Flyaway babydoll top in subdued knits with cap sleeves. But sometimes, simple is best, and when it comes to the top plus size babydoll tops for this summer, Lane Bryant's Gauze ruffle-hem babydoll tank top sets a high bar for its competetors. Selling at under $30, it comes in an array of sherbert colors like conch pink, sour apple, and sunset orange. It has an embroidered empire waistline that is sure to draw the eye to the narrowest part of a plus size body, and it's adjustable strapsy will help keep it bra-friendly. In a gauzy cotton, it's the perfect lightweight plus size babydoll top for the season, and will look picture perfect over your favorite jeans or capris.

Fashion Bug. For a more whimsical look, take a gander at Fashion Bug's Floral puff-print smocked babydoll. It's tee-shirt length, rather than tunic, which makes it better suited to petite plus size women, or those who might otherwise wish to accentuate the length of their legs. But if you're looking to hide a belly bump, Fashion Bug's Smocked plaid babydoll top is a similar style with a longer length, in an adorable pattern. Mettalic threads sewn through color pallates like colonial brick and mosaic blue make for an unusually stylish plus size babydoll top that will last through the years.

Avenue. Avenue stores have shied away from the plus size babydoll top this season, but their scalloped cami (babydoll style) is well worth trying on. White-on-black embroidery dresses up a subtle polka dot pattern to give you a plus size babydoll top that is just as appropriate for the office as it would be on the beach. The wide straps will allow you to wear a supportive bra, and at 28 inches in length, it's just long enough to give cover without overwhelming the length of the leg. Best of all, it's on sale for less than $25.

Size Appeal. For a flirtier polka-dot plus size babydoll, consider Size Appeal's Marshelia in Multi-dot. It's made from wonderful poly/rayon jersey fabric, which will give it a wrinkle-free, effortless casual appeal. And for a plus size babydoll top with sleeves and a bit more coverage, don't overlook Size Appeal's Julia top, which is especially lovely in violet.

With so many options, you're sure to find a plus size babydoll top that flatters your figure and keeps you current with the trends.
