Saw this on a current affair tonight in Sydney, Australia

It's an online revolution that's changing the shape of today's fashion — a flood of new websites have emerged dedicated to the full-figured woman, and they're being led by Aussie fashionistas.
A Current Affair shows you the sites embracing the hottest trends from runways around the world. So throw away those baggy T-shirts, it's time to flaunt your figure and celebrate your curves!

Tips and Tricks for the plus-sized woman, from Volupture.com

Belt it — a belt adds shape to an outfit and creates an illusion of a waist. Don't be afraid to mix it up and wear a belt over a T-shirt or cardigan.

Empire waist — an empire waistline, where a garment's waistline falls below the bust, accentuates your bust and take the focus away from your tummy and hips.

Layering — layering clothes is a great way to hide lumps and bumps. Try wearing a tank top under a button-up blouse, leaving the blouse partly undone, and then top it off with a shrug or long, flowing cardigan.

Skim — wear your clothes close to your body, don't try to hide under unflattering baggy garments. Likewise, avoid wearing clothes that are too tight.

Shapewear — invest in good quality bras and some good shapewear.

Colour — don't be afraid of bright colours and prints. Colour blocking is very fashionable at the moment and can be a good way to attract focus to the part of your body you love the most. Simply wear bright colours on whatever part you'd like to show off!
