on 8/2/2008 I don't think it very appropriate for the woman in this video to refer to plus size "apple" shapes as "figure flaws." :(

"Hi I'm Sindara and I'm with Abundance and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village this evening. In this clip we are going to be talking about in dressing in special occasions for plus sizes. It is really sad but these days it is very difficult for plus size women to find dressy and evening wear. Luckily we have a Abundance here at our shop but the other problem is I think is provident is most people don't think if you are a plus size you can wear something fabulous. You can wear a ball gown, you can have something interesting. We are here to say yes indeed if you are plus size you can still wear a ball gown. You can have something fabulous and wonderful. You can have something funky and trendy. Now one of the shapes that we talked about earlier was the apple shape. That is where you have weight here in the center. One of the things that we found works perfectly for that in dressing evening is rueshing. Rueshing camouflages the tummy and really hides a multi of sins. So Sherman is showing up a beautiful gown that is rueshed around the center. In addition to rueshing has a very intricate pattern. Most people would say oh now you can not wear that for a plus size but in fact the rueshing and the pattern works together to camouflage a lot of figure flaws. In addition this particular dress has beautiful little jacket, a little shrub so your arms are covered and that helps a lot. Which you would see here as Sherman pointed out and that gives you even more options because a plus size often says I can not wear strapless. But, yes you can wear strapless with a little shrub."
