Tadashi Shoji uses draping, ruching and shutter pleats along with luxurious fabrics such as jersey fabric, chiffon and lace to create a silhouette that flatters the plus size woman.  Check out this cap sleeve twisted gown available up to a size 16 at Neiman Marcus.  This gown is a perfect example of a piece that flatters!

Shoji is among only a handful of designers such as Diane von Furstenberg, David Meister and Michael Kors who make couture fashion for the plus size silhouette.  Shoji’s designs go to a 16 and many styles go to a 24W.

His following is particularly strong among plus-size stars including Oscar Winner Octavia Spencer, Gabourey Sidibe, Queen Latifah, Oprah Winfrey and Mo’Nique.

Kudos to Tadashi Shoji! I love highlighting designers who do not discriminate and include curvy women!
