Review: La Grande Dame Plus-Size
I had a chance to review La Grande Dame, a new plus-size shop run by a mom and daughter who adore plus fashion and (even better!) have excellent taste. If you shop for size 14W and up, you might be happy to know more about this excellent option.
Selection
La Grande Dame offers a great selection of plus-size pieces, and in my opinion, the strongest selections that they offer are their causal dresses. Not only do they have a great deal of different fabrics and shapes, but they feature a lot of specific sizing notes to guide your purchases. You'll find out where pieces run small, where they run just right, and where they might even be too big.
Price Points
Quality items do cost a little bit more, but you will find that they last longer, not to mention the fact that you will wear them more often as well. All you need to do is slip into a silky dress to feel the difference--dresses ring it at under a hundred, but can climb to over $200. You do get a lot of options for the different price ranges, and I feel like La Grande Dame is dedicated to helping women choose pieces they love in their price range.
Size Range
Sizes start at 14W, and many pieces that I saw were very generous. For women who are sick of wearing clothes that don't fit quite right, shopping at La Grande Dame might just pick up a few pieces--and smile. A few of the items I reviewed were downright large, while others seemed to fit rather elegantly and true-to-size.
Shipping
La Grande Dame ships worldwide--who can complain? Canadian customers will be thrilled, and I know a London plus shopper or two who will benefit from this kind of deal at La Grande Dame. This is a great way to save when you combine it with one of La Grande Dame's daily newsletter deals (like saving 40% off on specific items).
Climate-Friendly Choices
With both lightweight and heavyweight options available at La Grande Dame. The special occasion dresses are available in medium lengths, meaning that pretty much everyone can slip one on in any climate, with tights or a wrap if necessary.
Customer Service
Live chat is available at La Grande Dame.
