The Curvy Woman's Fall 2009 Must Haves List Continued !

So yesterday we left off at #8, so let's jump right in at #9! ( PS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM IS BELOW ITS PICTURE)

9. Deep V Neck

So a lot of us curvy girls have a nice set of breasts that would love to pop out of a too-deep-v-neck shirt, so let's keep it a little subtle.

Ralph Lauren, $49.99, Size up to 3X

Faith 21, $17.80, Size up to 2X

Faith 21, $19.80, Size up to 2X

Ashley Stewart, $29.00, Size up to 24

10. Lace Blouse
So when I say lace, I don't mean completely see through to show all your goodies... I mean a tasteful hint of lace here and there.

Faith 21, $19.80, Size up to 2X

Faith 21, $28.00, Size Up to 5X

Lane Bryant, $49.50, size up to 28

Ralph Lauren , $34.99, Up to 2X

13. Menswear Trouser
This trend adds a lot of volume to the bottom half of your body and usually works well on slimmer bottoms. With that being said, steer clear of this trend if you are curvy, it does nothing for the figure but ruin it. Stick to skinny jeans, Wide leg trousers, and tapered pants.

14. Draped Skirt

Ann Taylor , $49.50, Up to 18

Ann Taylor , $29.99, Up to 18

Ann Taylor, $85.00, Up to 2X

15. Leather Shorts
Ok so this would not be too comfortable given that they do not have a lot of give and most of us curvier women love ( and need) some type of spandex. Let's try some alternatives that will give you the same look.


Gap, $34.50, Up to 20


Faith 21, $15.80, Up to XL

Torrid, $25.00, Up to 3X

AHHH we have finally reached the end of our Fall must have pieces. Now choose wisely because remember everything isn't for everyone, but there is something for everyone. I know it's discouraging not to be able to find your size in the cute clothes that we see walking down the runway, but this just leaves room for your creative juices to flow. Being unique makes you irreplaceable!

Love ya! <3
