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!
