Chennai’s plus-size stores

Do you fret over your curvy image and spent most of the time eyeing that designer wear, rather than sporting it? It’s about time you stopped feeling miserable. Bulging waistline doesn’t mean you have to restrict yourself to shapeless kurtas and baggy jeans. Walk into any of these stores and be prepared for an image makeover.

Many leading brands now have come up with plus-sized clothing, displaying them alongside spaghetti straps and other teen wears. Take your pick from the range of elegant designs at Westside’s (Spencer’s Plaza) Gia collection. Blouses and kurtis with glitter and cuts, in various hues, dazzle your eyes, spoiling you with options.

Fabindia (off Mount Road) is definitely god-send, when it comes to finding ethnic wear in XXL sizes. Don on any of the long or short kurtas and meet a visibly-changed you staring from the trial-room mirror. Earthy colours in natural fabrics are what you can expect.

If tag-chasing is what you prefer, notch up your glam quotient with a touch of Tina Vincent (Khader Nawaz Khan Road). Beautifully embroidered blouses, silk shirts, and trousers wait to be tried on.

Last but not the least, as you let your eyes stray across the floor in Shoppers Stop (Chetpet), stop for a second glance at their STOP plus range of Indian wear. Colours and patterns are created keeping in mind the average Indian woman.

Wear what you like and flaunt what you’ve got … in style!
