Pretty Plus How to Look Sexy, Sensational, and Successful, No Matter What You Weigh

Jessica Simpson, Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey have one thing in common: They've struggled with weight issues yet remained secure in looks all their own. Not everyone has a fashion model shape. There are over 40 million women in the U.S. alone who are considered to be plus sized. And in recent years, plus sized fashion sales escalated to 70 billion dollars. With department stores, centers and boutiques increasing their influx of designers for ladies with mature figures, plus size women need to find out how to flatter their curvy bodies.
