Welcome

In this site you will find good valuable information about size plus clothes; funky, glamorous, formal, party gear, costumes and lingerie suitable to your style, shape and needs.  We provide stories of beautiful full bodied size plus models and role models, we discuss health issues, food, treats and chocolate without shame. In our size plus forums and blogs we will share inspirational ideas about life, adventure, wealth, relationships and the ramblings of the curvaceous woman soul all in the spirit of fun compassion and camaraderie

With your participation we intend to explore links to size plus women's spirituality, sexuality, videos, music, and art that instills a sense of commonality and belonging that we cannot find easily within the culture of thinness and photo touched image surrounding us. This culture often leaves size plus women feeling as if there’s something wrong with who we are. Our aim is to challenge this state of affairs and provide a positive outlook and a safe place to rejoice in our beauty and wellbeing as  curvaceous beings.
We are determined to believe that we are worth of love, affection and respect at any size and age and we will always expect everyone in this site to behave to others in this manner, extending the same standards that we expect for ourselves. I have, long ago, come to the conclusion that focusing on weight loss, yo-yo dieting and the endless destructive list of demands placing high emphasis in thinness, and admiring just one body type, leads to self hate and the current epidemic of eating disorders, deppression and upheavals that plague modern women worldwide. As a plus size myself i am aware of the difficulties finding suitable plus size clothing in mainstream shops and boutiques. To facilitate your searches most manufacturers on our links will provide accurate sizing tailored to your needs.

Fortunately thanks to the Internet, the full bodied woman has increasing access to resources such as fashion designers so we no longer feel like we have to wear clothes that make us look like a bag and dont suit our shapes ages or styles. However in terms of awareness, self help and education there is scarcity of spaces where we can delight in our curves, discuss our issues, support each other and celebrate our largeness of body and spirit.We want to make clear that size acceptance is not about condoning self destructive behaviors and that if weight is a health issue (which is not for everyone) we encourage that you make informed decisions to get well. 'Informed'is the key word here. With an ever growing multi-billion slimming industry lurking out there, to inform yourself will require very thorough and self caring research. In synthesis, do your 'shopping' and engage the help of professionals that treat you respectfully and in a non-invasive manner. Size acceptance in our case is mainly about encouraging acceptance and deservability for all people so it is an equality issue. To help us in our venture at proudplus.com we have engaged support from a community of women, business, professionals, artists and the general public that view large women as unique, lovable and respectable and not as a 'condition' to impose their standards upon.

We believe that plus size women and girls are beautiful, intelligent, sexy, and inspirational. We advocate for a healthy and self pampering attitude towards our bodies and for a focus on valuing the whole person, our thinking self, our feeling self, and our attitudes rather than measuring ourselves solely on the barometer of size, weight and looks as marketed by the mainstream. We believe that with the joy brought by self and mutual love and respect, beauty, creativity and wit will radiate from within our bountiful selves in an unstoppable way. This is a place to generate this.
