Kimberley Walsh says she is inspired by curvy women like Beyonce Knowles when she dresses.

The shapely Girls Aloud singer said she chooses clothes that suit her figure and looks to other celebrities such as Beyonce and Halle Berry for ideas.

The beautiful pop star, who is dating Justin Scott, said: “I guess I tend to look towards curvier women like Beyonce and see what looks good on them. And Halle Berry also has a great body. If I had her figure I don’t think I’d complain!”

The 29 year old – who is taking a break from music to build a career as a TV presenter – added she likes to dress to a 50s style to flatter her shape – and she has learned not to get too hung up on her body flaws.

She said: “I always dress to suit my shape. I won’t wear a trend if it doesn’t suit my figure. I love that whole 50s style, mainly because it suits my body shape, rather than it being a trend.

“I’d like to have longer legs – but wouldn’t everyone? It’s just the way it is. But they probably wouldn’t look right with the rest of my shape anyway!”

Why the Internet is the Best Place for Plus Size Clothes

At one time, plus size shoppers had a very poor choice when it came to clothes. Not only would the garments on offer would be few and far between, but most of these were also terribly outdated. Plus size coats or clothes would normally be tuckedaway in the darkest corner of the store whilst fitting rooms would be cramped and uncomfortable to use.

However, online shopping has completely changed all of that. Now the larger shopper can sit in the comfort of his/her own home and shop for clothing at any time of the day or night! We all know what a wonderful place the internet is for groceries, cameras, mobile phones or computers, but it has also provided us with a fantastic choice of stylish plus size coats and clothes. How could anyone not love the World Wide Web???

Most online companies will supply their customers with plenty of accurate size measurements, so purchasing an item that doesnot fit is a pretty rare occurrence. And even if we do buy an item in the wrong size, then returning it is a walk in the park. All in all, the internet has made a tremendous difference to shopping forplus size coats or clothes!

Beth Ditto is championing plus size women everywhere, showing you don’t have to be a stick to be considered “gorgeous”. The singer has just been signed up for another season to front the campaign of plus-size clothing for Evans. .

The AW2010 range, which is being designed as we write, is said to incorporate a mix of 1980s punk and vintage styles from the 1940s alongside current trends.

Lisa Marie Peacock, head of design at Evans, said: “We’re really excited, we are working on a great concept for young women with different styles, shapes and sizes.

“We have a look a decade, taking inspiration from the world’s greatest icons. Beth’s vintage-inspired prints – from Victorian to punk – look amazing. These very special pieces are all modernised versions, to be worn in the mix-matching Ditto style.”
