Any designer (who will make great clothing for plus sized women) has my respect. If she follows through with this, (as a former 3x sized women - now a size 12/14) I will be verklempt!

exellent Idea Saucybetty! When I was a size 3x, the stores had nothing except for sweats.

So for pants, I had to make my own. Only no size 3x patterns! Soo I had to deconstruct a pair of pants, and make a pattern out of that! And to continue to add those inches and make the final pattern so that it would fit me was hard (especially for someone who had to teach theirself how to sew)!

I'm so thankful that even though the plus sized market is still being marginalized by the majority of designers and clothiers out there, very few people will have to go through what I did!

At least though something good did come out of that experience. I did learn how to sew fabulous clothes! And I did learn how to design my own clothes and patterns (although I still prefer commercial patterns when possible)

Kenley may be a pain in the @ss but I'd love to have some of her stuff in size 18.

okbyajc, I'd love some of her stuff too. But since I'm on a budget, I'll have to keep designing my own stuff as time permits instead.

She has one dress that would look great on me, but $315.00 is a little out of my price range right now.

And okbyajc, until Irina appeared on the scene ... I thought they couldn't get any worse then Kenley. Boy was I wrong! Geez! At least I like the stuff Kenley designs, and I'd love to see my kids in some of that stuff.
