Featuring trendy styles and season-less classics, the JMS Just My Size design team revealed a group of plus-sized fashions in their New York City showroom last week. To kick off the show, JMS Just My Size creative director Janet Freedman exclaimed, “Watch out skinny women, you can’t wear our clothes—they’re just my size. We’re celebrating our curves.”
According to StyleList.com, the JMS Just My Size Spring/Summer fashions, which will be carried exclusively at 3,500 Walmart stores across the USA (at extremely affordable prices—between $6 and $22—I might add), included flattering, fitted blouses that skimmed the models’ bodies and pretty cap-sleeve V-neck dresses in a taupe and white scroll print.
