Trendy Plus Size Pick of the Day - Allover Lace Tee & Ballerina SkirtToday’s Trendy Plus Size Pick of the Day is an Allover Lace Tee & Ballerina Skirt from Silhouettes .

I think this is such a great transitional outfit – great to blast away the end-of-winter blues now and the jersey knit skirt will move you effortlessly through spring  and summer. You options for this awesome skirt are truly unlimited.

The link to the skirt is below – it is a slinky type knit with spandex, comes in sizes XL to 6X. At $49, it would be a workhorse for your wardrobe for many seasons to come. It also comes in red and a dotted print if you are maxed out on black skirts (is that possible?).

I can’t fin a link to go directly to the lace top, it is listed in the Silhouettes Outlet for $22.99 in black and ivory along with the soft purple. The ivory would be a great pick up for anytime you want to dress up a black suit, skirt or pants.

Citiknits (R) Jacket & Pants with Scrunch Neck Tank

Slinky Knit Jacket & Pants with Scrunch Neck Tank
I own this ensemble in 2 colors – black and azure blue. I love it. The black one is my “go to” outfit. It is the most flattering outfit I have and I can dress it up or down. I will frequently wear a bright colored tank top instead of the black one. I even wore turtleneck sweaters under it during the winter. It is a great “suit” look that is more casual and elegant at the same time. I love it and plan to get even more colors. I love the mix-and-match-ability as well. The azure blue is a gorgeous shade of blue.

For a flattering look that’s perfectly professional. The sleeveless scrunch neck tank ensures versatility, while the easy pull-on pants provide comfort with a fully elastic waistband. Add to the look when you top the set with the open-front, cardigan-style jacket, which has long sleeves. All three lightweight pieces have straight bottom hems. Mix and match with other items in your wardrobe for limitless layering possibilities. Black, Mauve, Burgundy, Azure, Orange, Olive, or Jade. XL(18-20), 1X(18W-20W), 2X(22W-24W), 3X(26W-28W). 1X Cardigan length 34″, chest 48″. 1X Shell length 25-1/2″, chest 46-1/2″. 1X Pants relaxed waist 32″, hip 52-1/2″, inseam 29″. 94% acetate/6% spandex or 95% acetate/5% spandex. Hand wash, dry flat.

About Plus Size Slinky Knits

Comments Off

Have you discovered the miracle of slinky knits? The term “slinky knit” (also called “stretchy knit” refers to knit fabrics that contain spandex (usually 5 to 10%) along with acetate, nylon or polyester.

Slinky knits hang on the body beautifully. They do not cling or hug curves. They don’t wrinkle! No dry cleaning and no ironing – and they are virtually indestructible.

Almost my entire wardrobe is composed of slinky type knits from various manufacturers. They are perfect for my lifestyle – for work and casual – they are elegant and graceful and as comfortable as pajamas or sweats.

If you haven’t tried slinky knit clothing, do yourself a favor! In my opinion, they are a plus size lady’s best friend!
