East Coast brides-to-be!

For all of my fellow East Coast divas looking for a place to buy bridal gowns, there is a store just for you! New York magazine recently posted an article, seen here about a bridal retailer specifically for plus size women. Curvaceous Couture is based in Columbia, MD and specializes in sizes 16-22. The store was started by Yukia Walker, who just couldn't understand why designers are basically ignoring the plus size consumer.

The store is so popular that high-end designer Reem Acra designs a line exclusively for the store.

Miss Tina by Tina Knowles

The mom of superstar Beyonce Knowles just added another line of clothing to her plate. Tina Knowles is designing Miss Tina for Walmart. It will be available in sizes 2-20. most of the pieces will be $20 or less. She believes that no matter what size you are, you deserve good fashion. Her dresses are adjusted for the size. Different sizes will hit the most flattering part of your body, according to her.

While I am disappointed that this line will only come up to a size 20, I'm sure some fashionistas will be excited!
