Let's just say the "Designer to Watch" segments are my favorite. I love that the plus size community basically says that if you won't give the fashion we want we will make fabulous clothes for ourselves. That's exactly what designer, Theary Sims of Youtheary Khmer, did. Her collection is fun, flirty, and full of life. An added bonus is that almost everything in this line is under $100. And for you FFF Week attendees, this designer will be showing at the Independent Designer's feature Friday night. To me this line fills the H&M/Zara void in the plus size community. I always go in those stores loving the funness (yes I made that word up) and youthfulness of those clothes, but of course I generally can't wear their clothes. This lines gives the plus size girl an option of that look.
What are my favorites? I am loving the color block dress and those purple wide leg trousers. They are both just adorable. What are your favorite pieces?
You can purchase these pieces at others at the Youtheary Khmer here.
***Update: Since the I posted this yesterday the collection actuatlly sold out, but will be available for preorders. Congrats to this designer.

Love these clothes! C, have you ordered anything? Curious about fit and quality - I love the white sheer maxi/I've been looking for one for a while....
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten anything but I did order...so we will how it works out. Ill be blogging.
DeleteI love that chiffon blouse dress and that maxi skirt.
ReplyDeleteIt's great you're introducing people to such awesome plus-size brands.
When I was watching that Big Brooklyn Style show, I was saddened that a store like Monif C or even a designer like Domino Dollhouse wasn't featured. The store on Big Brooklyn Style had such basic designs and I've seen MUCH better plus-size designs.
Yeah I thought the same thing. The thing is that plus size girls with real style is really still an underground thing. A lot of stores are catering to what I call the typical plus size shopper...not the girl who loves herself and wants to look and feel good.
DeleteI agree. I think a lot of plus-size women just know about Lane Bryant, Catherine's, Wal-Mart, and Target. Not to say there's something wrong with these stores but there's a lot to find online.
DeleteSome plus-size fashion bloggers, such as yourself, have really introduced a lot of women to brands they wouldn't have otherwise known about.
Please and thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the chiffon blouse dress and the dip hem top! The goddess skirt is pretty too :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally cosign the comments about "big girl style" still being an underground thing! I haven't watched Big Brooklyn Style yet but I am tired of seeing big girls styled in the same old boring things whenever they appear on television! One of my favorite things about your blog is that it really features fashion that I can relate to - which is very hard to find. BTW, I read on another blog that this shop is now sold out! I ordered 2 tops but not the maxi skirt - now I'm kicking myself! Look forward to your review of whatever you ordered.....
ReplyDeleteThat's what I am here for! I really hope one day to get a position in fashion media, so I can talk about the underground fashion that is so much better than the mainstream stuff. I just saw she is taking pre-orders.
DeleteI'm so loving the wide legs, the colorblock dress, & the chiffon dress.
ReplyDeleteI love her designs so cute :)....also the maxi dress is my fav but all of the designs are perfecto
ReplyDeleteLove the looks, and I'm even more in love with the price points. It upsets me that plus sized lines have to be so expensive all the time. These are right on point with me!! Thanks for sharing!
