So, I received an email from Cara Tedesco from
Di Moda Group about a plus size line called Damn You Alexis. Of course I jumped
at the opportunity to check out their lookbook.
According to their official website,
"Damn You Alexis is a Sydney based fashion label focused on introducing a
designer aesthetic to the plus size market." The designer behind the line,
Megan Moir Pardy, launched her line initially in early 2010 with the intention
"to fill a void in the plus-size market by producing sophisticated, well
designed pieces for fashion savvy girl in sizes 16 to 24."
I would have to say that from their lookbook,
I am in love with the line. The fact that they use quality fabrics for the line
is something that a plus size fashionista like my self appreciates. Many time,
plus size line offers trendy clothing but the quality of the fabric is cheap
and the clothes don't even last that long. The line offers clothing made from
silk, spandex, modal cotton, and nylon. Of course, every plus size diva knows
that spandex in clothing is our best friend.
The price range for a collection with this
caliber of quality shouldn't be much of a shock. The clothes range from $49 AUD
($51 in U.S. Dollars) for a draped tank top or crop top to $400 AUD ($414 in
U.S. Dollars) for a silk maxi dress. Of course, as plus size fashion addicts,
we know that sometimes, we just can't find what we want by thrifting, and
making the clothes yourself isn't always convenient. With that said, I am not
suggesting that you spend your entire checking and savings on purchasing the
clothes. However, I suggest that if you want something classic with a rocker
edge, I would definitely make a purchase at Damn You Alexis.
Here are some pieces from their website that I
would definitely have in my closet.
If you would like more information about
pricing, sizing, shipping, and even to learn more about the company, you can
