Fiercely Real Fashion
For all real women out there - ya know the ones who are curvy and got a booty - the latest runway fashions are attainable. Full-figured fashion can be fun, flirty, and fierce! Here are some tips on how to enhance your style to be fiercely real AND fiercely you.
- Want an instant touch of class? Lace will make you feel fabulous! Adorn yourself with hints of the material in a cardigan or on a necklace.
- Details, details, details! Keep an eye out for fun fashion with little details. A fun flowy skirt with a light print is better than a form fitting pencil skirt.
- If you got it, flaunt it! Pinpoint what you love best on your body and enhance it. If you like your waistline, accentuate it with a belt.
- Out with the girdles, in with the shape-wear! Not only does shape-wear provide an instant sleek look, but they rid of unflattering panty and bra strap lines. Check out our article on the best bras for fiercely real fashionistas!
- Focus on the fit, not on size. You’re the only person who knows what size you’re wearing. It doesn’t matter if it’s a size 2 or 12, a good fit = a good look!!
Most of all, embrace your body and love your look. If you feel confident, it’s going to show and people will see how hot you truly are.

I'm 16 and a little bit full figured. I say a little bit because compared to teen full figures, I think I'm a little smaller. I try to wear waist belts but theres just too many problems with it. All belts, and shape or size hurt my stomach. It puts too much pressure on my stomach and it makes it uncomfortable. Also, belts always seem to make me look bigger. How can I get the same illusion of a waist belt, but without the belt? Also, I have a tiny head and flowy shirts make my head look smaller. What can I do to make my body look smaller or my head look bigger?

I am the black girl in the flower print dress! I love Tyra so much, and when I saw my face on her page, I almost died!
Tyra you are such an inspiration to me and I really appreciate your B.I.O. Campaign. You are opening so many doors for girls and women like me. Your B.I.O. campaign has made it more acceptable in the modeling world to be Fiercely Real! Modeling is my passion and with your help, I can get as far as my dreams will take me!
Thank You,

Now, I'm in my last thirties. One think I've learned about sizes and clothes is that regardless of what size is in on the tag we all have something we don't like about our bodies. So, please don't allow your plus size to deter you from wearing a pretty dress or a bold colors. Sexy mean different things to different people. If you got big legs, then wear a skirt or dress that has flare to it or an a-line. Wear the bold color where you want the attention drawn to like waist up. Just know what looks good on you and highlights your personality.

im a size 13-15. i wear what i like to wear. skinny jeans are abundant in my closet because i have athletic long legs. and tees with a hoodie usually suit me, or a flowy shirt/blouse that assentuates my bust.
Im a size 18-20 and I love to wear the newest styles of clothing. Nevermind what people say about a REAL SIZE girl. If i put it on it's gunna look good!:-)

I'm a sexy full figured woman thats a size 12 and wouldn't change my curves for a thing! I'm constantly encouraging my friends and new people I meet to embrace who they are because it's what makes them distinct! There can only be one YOU! I've noticed that most successful people started out believing in themselves and other people gravitate to confidence because it makes whatever your selling convincing! So who are we to let other people define our beauty! Work with what you have ladies! :)

thank you so much for the tips!
Choosing the kind of clothes that enhances and compliments your body is great advice! I love shopping. Finding clothing and accessories that flatter my curves is sometimes a challenge, but also a lot of fun.
im a size 14 ilove it and show it off! =))))
Honestly I couldn't live without my grey zip-up hoodie :)
I try to go with things that no one else wears at the time. Or just change of the fads. I love to be different. Can't walk around like everyone else in skinny jeans. I do love them, but I wear a little bit of everything.
