British fast fashion retailer River Island recently announced that it will be launching an affordable plus-size line on March 9th. With brands such as Forever21 and Rachel Roy now offering extended sizes, River Island gives plus-size consumers even more choice when it comes to finding stylish clothing.
The affordable plus-size line from River Island will include 75 different pieces in sizes ranging from 18 to 24. These pieces will include wardrobe staples such as T-shirts and skinny jeans, as well as more unique garments such as patterned dresses and lace-up bodysuits.
