The new Spring/Summer 2007 trends are really terrific this year, but what makes them so much better is how this designer and Igigi apply them to the
fuller figure woman. As someone who enjoys fashion but is not a Size 0-4, I simply am in love with the philosophy and offerings of this company. In
my life as a professional, I can now have clothes that work for me and are really beautiful. Way to go, Igigi! You are doing a tremendous job. Please
keep it up!

These are gorgeous! I love Igigi clothing, so beautiful and sexy! I do wish, however, there were more options for those of us who like skirts and pretty dresses, but don't have legs or knees that we're ready to flaunt! Some longer lengths in day dresses would be awesome!

The dresses are absolutely beautifull but seem to be designed for
the well endowed. I am short and pear shaped with fleshy arms
and legs and an unproportionatly smaller chest. I cannot pull off
these beautifull fashions without looking like a little girl playing dress
up from her mothers closeet. The designs and colors are great, but
a bit steep for my wallet.

I agree. The fashions do seem to be for full breasted women (which I am not). I would like to see some tops which have a little scoop neck, faux turtle neck or v-necks.
I would like to see more casual clothes and some capris for summer. I like to cover my thighs and capris do the job and are more for every day. I like lounge wear the best. Living in the desert I like to be cool and comfortable. As the winner of last month's contest I am waiting for the new summer clothes since it is hot out here all the time.

I am an hour glass figure and can't find clothes that accentuate my positives which is large bust and small waist. Igigi is the first company that believes yu can be sexy and a large woman. I am so tired of manufacturers making clothes that bag on my waist, and won't fit my bust. Avenue, Lane Bryant, etc etc all design for more of the rectangle body.

I would love to see some eyelet tops, and dresses this spring/summer. Also a white sheer shrug to work with white sleeveless dresses? Please hurry and put out your spring line before my clothes budget is spent. Most sites are already introducing summer clothes.

Fabulous, I am looking forward to these wonder high fashion clothes. I do appreciate the effort and time that Igigi has put ionot making me, and other full figured ladies, look wonderful. Thank you so very much.

I love everything about your clothes. Especially the fact that you
include shrugs with most of your dresses. I have ordered for my
self and my daughter. The models look like real people. Please
keep up the good work.

I'm really impressed with the breadth of your collection, but I can't wait to see the Spring additions. I'm looking for a nice summer dress to feel flirty and sexy in, but am having no luck.

Please help!

I feel sexy just looking at them. I pray I will be in one of those dresses soon.

When will the polka dot (black/white) dress with shrug come back online to purchase. Its a perfect dress for my second wedding as all my girls are in black and white with red roses... I ordered it and I got an email stating it was out of stock and the customer service person apologized.... I really want this dress for my wedding. There is a brown and white polka dot also, but I really want the black & white one... Please let me know if I should wait for this to come back instock or just start shopping at another place for a similiar look.

# Posted By Snowy | 4/14/07 12:07 PM

I would like to see more casual long dresses with short sleeves. I'd particularly like to see some semi-formal dresses (wear to church, afternoon wedding, etc) in a long length with a short sleeve or a shrug. I'd almost go for sleeveless. Your cuts are so good in this category, I almost don't mind showing my arms.

# Posted By Sarah | 5/3/07 7:40 PM

Love the designs! Has anyone considered that most larger sized woman do NOT like their upper arms? I hate even looking at other womans upper arms.
Can't we have some great styles WITH sleeves? Even short cap sleeves are better then nothing. There seem to be too many dresses and shirts with sleeves.

# Posted By ShortnsassyF | 5/7/07 9:36 PM

I looovve the polka dot dresses! The shrug gives you the option of going with or without sleeves. I agree with other posters that it would be nice to see more half or 3/4 sleeve dresses. I know that in the dressier gowns the bare arm look will be here to stay for a long, long time.

# Posted By Kimber | 5/8/07 4:49 PM

I really wish you would make more BLACK WRAP DRESSES available. They are seasonless, work for business or evening wear and should be considered a staple piece for your company. As an Hourglass shape, I look better in the straighter, sleeker skirt as opposed to the fuller a-line style. Since the black wrap dress wasn't available, I was forced to purchase the
Dress with Yoke in Black/Black - which IS the shape I was looking for. Love it, but REALLY wanted the black wrap dress. PLEASE consider doing and MAINTAINING a line of fashionable basics that are , simple and easily accessorizable, and MUCH more appropriate for day to evening & business wear - such as the wrap dress, a simple knit pencil skirt, a black v-neck long sleeved (NOT bellsleeved) top, a shirt sleeved, scoopneck or v top that can be layered, and pants in a range of fit and leg width. That way - Women who really need basics can come to you over and over and BUILD an Igigi wardrobe! Then - they and I would come back again and again for the evening and more trendy stuff...... Just a suggestion.

I see that some people are not pleased with the designs
you have because they show arms and legs. I guess
they didn't read your motto" Clothing for Sexy plus
size women." Regardless of what you wear if you
don't feel sexy, you'll never be pleased with any outfit.
I however, love your clothing.

# Posted By Laura | 5/23/07 9:02 AM

I have a hard time finding clothes to fit right. I
I am 5'2 and 180lbs.I would like to see a women
that is round modeling clothes. skinny models
should not be in a plus size magazine. It seems
that your idea of plus is a women with big
breast. You need models that are full in the
middle with no curves.

Now that I've brought my winter sweaters out of the cedar closet, I want to enhance my cold weather wardrobe with a few up-to-the-minute styles.

I keep checking Trend Watch, but it hasn't been updated!

When will you post Igigi's guide to the Top 10 Trends for Fall/Winter 2007?
