Queen Latifah’s Curvation lingerie line has branched out with a full line of ready to wear, just in time for Spring.

“The line is all kinds of things to make a woman feel sexy,” says Latifah, whose stylist Susan Moses is also the creative director for the line. “We wanted to do what was trendy and on the edge.” And though she says she “was never a size six—not since I was 12,” Latifah knows the key to looking good is feeling good. “She has to be sexy and comfortable,” says Moses of Latifah’s “approachable glam” style.

Curvation’s Spring Line features lots of silks and jerseys that “silhouette the body instead of trying to hide women’s’ curves,” explains Moses. Latifah’s take? “I’d walk down the red carpet in that.”shopcurvation.com.

It’s a great tendency that women’s clothes industries started respecting full-figured (healthy and normal!) women, not only anorexic teenagers.

Could we see clothes made for the two large-women styles: Apples, and Pears? Also taking into account that some women are large and young and some are not so young and their bodies are not tight and curvey, but flabby and curvey with either huge hips or huge bellies (shapes having fallen apart from having children).

Large bellied women generally have smaller hips and thighs and large hipped women generally have small tops and waists and large hips. For example, pants made for a pear shaped woman will not fit an apple shaped woman around the belly. If the pants are purchased to fit around the belly, the fanny of the pants will be baggie and the crotch will ride almost to the knees. There are other problems with clothing and pear shaped women.

Would like to see shirts with shirt-tail styling, not squared off. Also, scoop necks should not scoop in the back only in the front (many women of size have widows humps that need to be covered). Please put in detailed stitching in darts, pleats, etc. Sleeve lengths would be welcomed if they were to the elbow or longer.

I am tall and big boned like Queen Latifah, not to mention that i dont think i am either apple or pear shaped…my body had been surgically changed because of all the hernyaand back surgerys. I have a semi-flat lower belly and large hips(from having kids), large thighs and a good size bottom so it makes it really hard to find any style of pants to fit and be comfortable…..HELP??? Queen Latifah is my favorite singer/actor. So PLEASE could you help me with my problem????
Thanks for your help in this matter?

I am a big sexy woman(so i have been told:) I like to dress sexy every now and then, especially if I’m out on the town for the nite. I have a hard time finding sexy clothing for bbw’s. I am very happy Queen Latifah is going to have a clothing line. It would be nice to buy tops with lace around the neck line. shirts with 3/4 sleeves in all beautiful sexy colors, red, black, turquoise, yellow. sexy bras with lace and full support in back. Hurry I can’t wait!!!!

I just want to say that if I were younger I would tryout for her duet partner and also that I’ve been wearing her bra line ever since I discovered it in K-mart. It’s called Curves and I love them. They’re cotton with a little stretch and comfortable. You go Girl, I love you and hope to meet you one day.
Face to face. You could come and eat with us at our house.

Please come out with sexy little shirts with built in bras that are vibrant in color. Short skirts and dresses would be great.
