Eloquii By The Limited



The moment we have been waiting for has arrived, The Limited launched their new line Eloquii November 1st. Eloquii was created with the plus size women in mind with many trendy staple pieces that every woman wants and needs in her closet.

Eloquii should be in stores in 2012 which I am super excited for, but for now you can shop their fabulous trends online. The website has many features, my favorite one  in particular is a handy tool called Shape your Style where the site shows us how to take our measurements and uses that information to help us figure out our body type. What a great way to help us accentuate our curves!

I know some of you who have been living under a rock are wondering what is LS1426 Inc. LS1426 was founded by Ms. Linda Scott.It is a consulting and special event company emphasizing on the plus size industry. Ms. Linda Scott travels the U.S empowering and teaching the fashion industry and promotes positive self esteem and good health.

" The reason I decided to put "standard"and "plus" models together is that I feel we both have the same goal on the runway and that is to bring the clothes to life. It is time for us to stop separating our selves. When I go to a show there are always one or the other but not both,yet there are all sizes attending the event. Let's do it together."-Linda Scott
