Indie Daze!

My trip to New York last month not only introduced me to fabulous bloggers but fabulous independent designers! I caught the Finale runway show at Full Figured Fashion week and found a few new favorite indie designers! This is the first in a series of focus on my fellow Independent fashion designers rocking plus size fashion!

Rachel's first company, Cupcake & Cuddlebunny is right up my alley with fabulous vintage size 14-28. Charming vintage finds and modified precious wardrobe must haves!

Sweetooth Couture was easily one of my favorites at Full Figured Fashion week. In 2009 Rachel met the demand of her customers with more modern clubwear and party options. She makes both ready to wear sizes 14-28 and in addition makes one of a kind custom pieces as well as custom sizes if her sizing chart doesn't suit you. Now that's what I'm talking about!
