They carry up to a size 26 and seem very reasonably priced. Love, love, love. Baby phat is also awesome. I found eshakti.com the other day, and have fallen in LOVE!

I went to Lane Bryant over the weekend and came out MAJORLY disappointed! Their clothes are not urban at all, and if they made more urban clothes, they'd make a killing! I love this post!

You are so on the money! Rocawear has definitely done better by us plus size ladies, BabyPhat is a hit or miss because she loves to splash the logo all over the place. I refuse to have apple's on my butt but(no pun intended) but AppleBottom's will surprise me every once in awhile.House of Dereon,your picks are cute but the line overall makes me mad. Great post!

I too cannot stand to wear clothes that have too much going on. The focus should be on me, not an extensive marketing prop for the company. I already paid for the rights to own the clothes, so let them flatter me lol. These are very cute finds though, I love! I love this post.

I am definitely considering copping that Maxi Denim Dress from Apple Bottoms. I too have been turned off by the urban lines that offer skimpy clothing for the plus size consumers! I'm glad that some of them have decided to step their game up on our behalfs. LB & AS are starting to become plain that I'm getting sick of searching for something decent that I won't see on someone down the street or in church. Thanx Bella,

Great picks. I am so in love with that Rocawear dress at the top of this post and LOVE the Marilyn Dress from Baby Phat! Agreed - these hip hop labels def are surprising with the fly, chic dresses in the midst of overblinged, over-logo'd clothing. I bought an Apple Bottoms maxi dress recently - it's the print halter maxi dress - might not be your kind of thing but that animal print is SO fly (and looks WAY better in person than it does on the website). I've actually tried on the Diva Deluxe Dress from Dereon and while it IS lovely I didn't think it was worth $90. Waiting for that to go on sale too!! Great post Bella. Great picks.
