Bonus: Plus-Sized Models
Plus-sized clothing is finally beginning to catch up with timely trends. And thank god for that. And I totally want a poncho. Why is it that they look so ridiculous on me?

Big Fat Deal
So what's the Big Fat Deal? Well, at the risk of getting all mission-statementy, I think it's important to call attention to issues of weight in the media, pop culture, and society. If we can convince at least one teenage girl that Ashley Olsen isn't "the fat twin," we will have done our job.
You're So Pretty

I'm sure you wouldn't look ridiculous in a poncho. You're tall, so you automatically have that working for you. The key is to find one that's long enough and that comes to a v at the bottom, either symmetrically down the center or not. One should avoid the "capelet" looking poncho, or the caplet itself, unless one has very narrow shoulders.
I really like I.N.C.'s versions, and the "regular" size is One Size and it fits me (a 14/16) just fine, but they also make plus sizes.
Knit a poncho! Poncho knitting is fast and fun and good! And you'll have a poncho at the end!
[I just knit a poncho -- not for me, but for my five-year-old niece. I feel ridiculous in a poncho, but she will be adorable.]
Maybe they look ridiculous on you because they do on everyone! It just goes back to that "she's big, put her in a tent" thing. Very very wrong. Us curvy girls need clothes that curve with us!
this is outrageous. i am a plus sized woman and im 5'11" tall and i look good in whatever i wear.
