I am a 16/18 and while not terribly overweight I DO know what styles and patterns are unflattering for the overweight. It is simply common knowledge, (and common sense), that overweight women need to avoid horizontal stripes. They simply make the large look larger. Gwynnie Bee's selections are rife with these. The horizontal stripe patterns outnumber the vertical and diagonal by about 4-1. Ladies with very large upper arms are better served with mid upper arm length sleeves at the very least. Gwinnie Bee's selections for summer are almost overwhelmingly sleeveless.

Overweight ladies' knees often tend to be trouble spots, but it is next to impossible to find a single dress or skirt at the service that is not short and above the knees. A few maxi dresses and skirts are the only other options. Big scoop necks also make the heavy look heavier. Again, Gwynnie Bee is rife with these, Next to impossible to find the slimming V-necks heavy women should wear. It seems to me that the designers at Gwynnie Bee are utterly CLUELESS about styling and fashion for the larger sizes. Or maybe they are catering to a number of heavier women who do not care what other people think, they want to wear what skinny girls wear, regardless of how unattractive or even outlandish they may look. If that is the case, FINE, stock those clothes for women who want to wear skinny girl styles. But for crying out loud, try stocking some clothing that actually is FLATTERING to the overweight.

There ARE gorgeous, trendy, young, and flattering styles out there for heavier women. Until GB can get around to doing that I would not recommend this service and also would hold off until they quit using USPS and went to faster shipping methods.
