Three ways to wear the Marquette Jacket

We love to show how to style up our garments. This week we look at three ways to wear our tailored suit jacket, Marquette. This is a shorter hip length version and is one of our most popular styles. The fit is amazing and the fabric has a nice firm stretch, to allow for comfort.

Big is Beautiful? Plus-size models spark health debate at Sydney Fashion Festival | Mail Online

Big is Beautiful? Plus-size models spark health debate at Sydney Fashion Festival | Mail Online

Why are the media so anti plus size?

While I understand their "healthy" debate, I don't think any of the models I saw here, were unhealthy looking.

When I started to look at photographing my ranges, in the early years, I went on a search to find myself a fabulous plus size model. Size 18.

I contacted agencies and was sent portfolios of lovely size 12 models in bikini's. They deem this plus size?

When I finally found myself a great model, I was criticized for her being too big. I felt terribly disappointed that people thought 18 was too big. I wanted to represent my label and my most popular size with my customers.

I now use my gorgeous sister in law, but again feel sad that she is considered plus size. She is a 14. Since when are 12's and 14's considered plus size?

I wish we could do away with the term plus size, but I have never managed to find another term for the size range, that everyone understands.

I have two very young daughters and would like to see them grow up, in a world where there is no prejudice against what people look like. There will be no diets in our house or excessive exercise. There will be good healthy food and normal activity to stay healthy. I will not let the media judge them and I will always tell them how beautiful they are every day.

I love Vogue Italy!

I love their forward thinking in accepting that women come in all shapes and sizes. It would be nice that we could all be included in together, rather than separated, but its a start.
Look forward to seeing more of this out there and hopefully the end of " only slim is beautiful". It would be nice to see magazines embrace all women, regardless of their shapes and sizes.

While I am not sure this model could be classed as Plus size, I do love the dress! (Bluegirl)

Best fitting Jean for Plus sizes.

It's without a doubt, customers and retailers alike are raving about our jeans.

Our little exclusive label jeans are a great fit for hourglass and pear shaped girls.

Not too high in the rise, but not too low either. Nice straight leg, five pockets and very flattering.

Sizes available are fourteen to twenty six.

Our Denim has just enough stretch to be comfortable, but not too much, as this can ruin the shape of the jean. At present our stock is organic denim.

See our favourite stockists, (TCD is a great start) or have a look online at our e-boutique.

Happy Shopping!
