I'm looking for some links for vintage inspired plus size womens clothing and lingerie. The one link I do have... www.babygirlboutique.com/rockabilly-clothing-pinup-clothes. is great, if limited. Thanks. Carrie

Carrie > instead of links head down to your local new and used book store , look for theatrical , costume ,and vintage wear books for some added inspirations . I have found some neat books and patterns and even some thrift stores have these books cheap . best wishes .As far as Lingerie and fun under to be made into fun outer wear try the history section , pop culture ,etc for those .There is a history of underwear and history of the corset out there .There is a real cool history of burlesque book out too , that can provide education along with eye candy inspiration .good luck in your search .

azropedntied... Thanks for the book idea...funny thing, it was a book of fashions from the 20's that got me interested in trying to incorporate bits and pieces into a look. I guess this means instead of looking for links to clothing sites I need to look for a good sewing machine and a class to teach me how to use it...wink! btw...I'll check on the History of Burlesque book...sounds like a good read. I already have a favorite copy of "Burlesque and the Art of the Teese" by Dita Von Teese...love her. Carrie

My Pleasure .. And who does not dig Dita she rocks !I found the neatest book showcasing fredricks history through the years too ,Though it was a bit pricey to add to my collection at this time .Carrie just about any of the sewing shops and retail stores have classes , also your local community college is an outlet .I recall when they had actual classes in jr high and high school wow i am old . lol I took home ed classes mainly cuz thats where most of the girls were and we ate and made stuff we could actually use . quote: ORIGINAL: CarrieO azropedntied...

Hi - I have a website & and an entire section dedicated to large sized lingerie - click on lingerie and have fun - lots of vintage http://www.feelnfly.com

CarrieO -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/28/2008 12:13:45 PM)
Thank you but these items aren't vintage or even vintage-inspired. They actually look more like club clothes. I would suggest you post on the "sought or for sale" forum if you want to advertise your website...which you've done on many threads.

daddyos.com has some cute stuff, and some of it does come in plus-size, but they aren't EXCLUSIVELY plus-sized, FYI

CarrieO -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/29/2008 8:40:37 PM)
YES!!!! Thank you LadybugBlue....what a cool site. Right on the money....[:D]

LadybugBlue -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/29/2008 10:11:21 PM)
No problemo! There are QUITE a few dresses in there that I wish I could afford... BUT I am still getting back on My feet from a bad start to the year. But there's always next year!

GreedyTop -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/29/2008 11:10:15 PM)
well, hell Carrie.. theres a great place in Tampa called La France.. but they don't have a website :(

moonvine -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 12:02:16 AM)
http://www.holyclothing.com http://www.bbwboutique.com/catalog.php?category=10 Is that what you are looking for in terms of clothes? I am a fat fashion maven but generally do not bother with lingerie so others will have to help there.

CarrieO -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 3:24:00 AM)
You guys are great..... LadybugBlue.....As azropedntied said, what I can't afford I can try to sew (of course what he doesn't know is that I excelled at the cooking part of Home Ec. !)...and next year is just around the corner. Yah for new beginnings. GreedyTop....Well hell Greedy, they may not have a website but they are listed with a phone number and it won't hurt to give 'em a call and see what they have and if they would do ant kind of trade (I have some fun stuff). moonvine...."Fat fashion maven"...I love that! Those were some cool sites and yes, the clothes could be fun. I just need to add some splash without it being too "trashy" (hey, gotta be able to wear them to work). Thanks everyone....I've got some cool new bookmarks on my laptop now. Inspiration all around!

GreedyTop -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 6:42:07 AM)
CArrie. if I had the money, I'd be shopping at La France a LOT... that store ROCKS! They specialize in vintage and retro..

xxblushesxx -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 8:21:07 AM)
I'm not sure how large they go, but I'm often drooling at the corsets at trashy.com http://www.trashy.com/Carousel-Collection-bycollection.htm

CarrieO -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 9:15:50 AM)
Thanks Christina... They actually have a whole plus-size section. Damn, there goes that bonus I just recieved!!

xxblushesxx -> RE: vintage inspired plus-size clothing (10/30/2008 10:14:21 AM)
