Big Girls you are Beautiful!

Let’s say the truth: None of us feels perfectly good and comfortable in her body. No matter how much we love our bodies, only very few women feel 100% confident about their body and say that they wouldn’t change anything on it. In the fashion industry, the most important opinion leaders determining “beauty standards” are designers and fashion magazines. But sometimes an opinion movement by a group of curvy woman succeeds to change these standards characterizing the fatal-anorexic fashion world. The movement started in the United States with the slogan “Beautiful in every size” and new blogs for curvy women appeared almost all over the world. These curvaceous women decided to come out by publishing their story and their photos and by saying that they love fashion and want to be sexy, elegant and fashionable like every woman! The best part of “oversize fashion blog” came from the United States and Australia. At the moment, there are not many similar blogs in Europe or, at least, there are not in English. It is not only because USA is the country with the highest level of obesity, but also because famous people in the States had decided to make of their weight their strong point.

They are completely out from the stereotype of the model size zero but they don’t want be emarginated or hire themselves overgrowing dark and castigated dresses.
