Fab Body Guide: Dames & Broads Lingerie For International Body Types

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:34:43 -0700

It's a known fact different countries have varying ideas on what body type is sexy. Lingerie company Dames & Broads has capitalized on that truth by offering lingerie from all around the world. Like any other site, you can shop by category and body type; but here, you can also shop by country. For instance, if you want to impress Brazilians - i.e. downplay your breasts, play up your behind - shop Brazilian bras and panties. For a demure, proper look, stop by the United Kingdom section for lingerie with lots of embellishments like ruffles and pleats. France, Colombia, Netherlands, Turkey, and the US are also represented. Learn about each country's ideal body type and par avion!

Fab Body Guide: Plus-Size Shopping Websites

Like Liv Tyler's sister and plus-sized model, Mia Tyler (pictured), most girls aren't rail-thin. In fact, many have beautiful, womanly curves! True, models are super-skinny (except for this plus-sized model who walked the Jean Paul Gaultier catwalk for Paris Fashion Week) but they have people commanding them to stop eating, to eat less, to not eat. Nonetheless, in the words of SJP: "Fashion is not a luxury" and we all deserve to wear cute stuff! And so, I put together a list of favorite shopping sites that carry fabulous plus-sized fashions - enjoy!

Fit vs. healthy

MichyPanicky — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:18:29 -0700

I used to think that being fit was the way to be healthy. We live in a world that is driven by appearances, we have to look a certain way to be accepted. I'm a 19 year old girl that should be into all of that, looking hot and fit, but i'm not, i'm into being healthy and happy no matter my size.

Being healthy is being fit and beautiful in my opinion, never let anyone make you change who you are because that's a waste of the person you're meant to be.

Whats your type?

As a plus-size woman that is fashion conscious, it is so hard to find things that are in style, fun, fresh, and fit my body. I tend to be a more classic dresser, but from time to time I'll through in a funky find. It suits me well and most people are impressed with what i get away with - I even have skinny girls ask me "where did you get that - and does it come in my size?", always feels great.

How funky or classic do you dress?
