Put Away the Caftans!

Caftans can come in lovely patterns and designs; unfortunately they also come with a lot of stigma and stereotypes. They are meant for one thing... lounging around the house or pool.

Most plus size department and specialty stores will stop at 3X so that leaves anyone larger than that at a disadvantage clothes wise. It's hard to go out for a walk or otherwise participate in society when all you can find in your size is a pretty tent.

This lens provides a listing of super-size (for lack of a better term) clothing for women. If you know of a great shop please contact me through the link to the right and I'll check it out.
