Once upon a time full-figured women were forced to wear muumuus, oversized t-shirts and mom jeans. No one even considered the idea that plus-sized women wanted to be hip, fashionable, and trendy. But today, retailers are beginning to welcome bigger women with arms wide open.

There are stores in malls and online for women of all shapes and sizes. And because we know that not all CollegeCandy readers are squeezing into their size 0 jeans at night, we wanted to introduce you to some of our favorite plus-size stores.

    I like Ashley Stewart as well as Catherine’s they have a wide range of
    and sizes. The price is right as well!

    I have been a faithful Lane Bryant shopper for yrs. So LB will be my store. I get good deals from the sales that they have. And they're the only plus size store where the clothes fits me well.

    Dots is a great store, and it's very inexpensive from sizes 0-26.

    The ASOS and Old Navy models in the gallery are definitely not "plus-sized". They're very well proportioned, don't look fat at all, and are absolutely beautiful. If anything, they have an average woman's body type. I think those are the kinds of models that are ACTUAL models for REAL women.

    Just sayin :)
