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 ?

DEAR CURVE INTRODUCES AFRICAN-INSPIRED COLLECTION FOR FULL FIGURED WOMEN
Remember when I introduced you to this plus size designer back in January and was going all gaga about it ? I am sure you do . Well here is another designer you might want to bookmark when you decide to buy a fly outfit . I get pretty exited when I get an email or find a designer that designs with prints and caters to full figured women because there aren't many out there. With the popularity of African prints every fashionista wants a piece of the pie especially if you live in west. "Dearcurves is an African Inspired clothing line for plus size women. The brand promotes and epitomizes Africa. Their designs are heavily influenced by African women; often known for their beauty and curves. their clothes are made with African fabrics called Ankara to create contemporary, stylish and curves flattering clothes. Dearcurves successfully uses fashion as a tool to bring Africa to the West, promotes African culture by making clothes for real women and concurrently creates sustainable business for the people involved in the manufacturing process."So are you ready to flaunt your curves yet ?
