You know I got love for anything plus size. Being a plus size girl myself ( check me out here ) its hard to find trendy clothes. I jumped out of joy when I first posted about the Rue114  by  Serwah Asante last year. I am happy to report that she just released her  S/S 2013 collection and has also been selected as the "Designer of the year " 2013 by the Full Figured Fashion Week NY.

LOVE THEM CURVES ! 4 AFRICAN INSPIRED PLUS SIZE DESIGNERS YOU SHOULD KNOW


african print dress designs for curvy women.


Back in the days it was really hard to find a fashion line that catered to curvy/plus size women, but today the internet is flooded with many sites for us. Everyone has their favorite stores I usually shop at Torrid, Forever 21, Asos curves, H&M , Dorothy Perkins to name a few.When I started blogging about the work of african designers  I would post about many lines because I loved their clothes but got very disappointed that they did not  make anything bigger than a size 12. So at some point I decided to buy a sewing machine  to make my own skirts ( since i don't know how to make tops). If you are a worker bee and a mother like Moi you probably don't have enough time to always sit around and work on DIY projets. So what a girl to do if she needs some plus size african clothing ? well look no further I have compiled  a list of my 4 favorite  African inspired  plus size lines .You might perhaps know a few of these designers because I previously  posted about them , so let's get started shall we ?

TRENDY PLUS SIZE CLOTHING BY RUE 114

Trendy-plus size african print clothing - Rue 114- ciaafrique
 My prayers have finally been answered. I and many other curvy girls have been complaining about the fact that many of our designers do not cater to the size 14+ body type. I mean you see a dress that you really like and the price is reasonable  but no sizes yikes!!! This happened to me a lot to the point that I just gave up looking at certain sites. I talked about it on twitter the other day and a designer told me that they can customize  for me. I said I want to be like everyone just walk in, pick up and move on. I don't want to wait weeks for one dress.  Well guess what ? someone was already working their magic behind the scenes. Meet Serwah Asante  the Creative Director and Founder of Rue 114. The line was launched back in 2010 as a platform upon which to celebrate beauty and style at all sizes.
