Curvier women historically have not had as many options when it comes to summer casuals. Scrolling through the sparse availability of plus-size options, it seems like many labels introduce plus-size lines not to celebrate bodies of all shapes, but with a focus on covering up larger bodies.
Anthropologie, thankfully, is not one of them. The Philadelphia-based fashion retailer has a brand-new plus-size collection called APlus by Anthropologie. The collection is as fresh as it is versatile. It features a number of floral dresses, colorful kimonos, sundresses, botanical jumpsuits and some smart casual options, like high-rise jeans and chinos in sizes between 16W and 26W.
Hillary Super, co-president of Anthropologie, says you can find the signature fun, charm and romance of the label in its plus-size collection. “Each and every piece is thoughtfully tailored with women’s real proportions in mind,” Karen Wilkins, technical design manager at Anthropologie, says on the official site.
