It is an open secret that most women are not size two and they are not six feet tall. And yet, the tiny percentage of the population who conforms to those dimensions seems to be the target of the fashion industry. Rarely do you see fashion that is targeted at the full size woman.

For years the full size woman has been treated as a minority while in fact they have been the majority. Full size women are not only mothers and housewives they are also business women. Trends are shifting and one even sees full size woman models here and there.

It is as if the fashion industry is slowly starting to wake up to the fact that there is a lucrative market for the taking. Not only are they also fashion conscious and sometimes dedicated fashion divas, but the full size woman can look absolutely spectacular in clothing designed for her posture.

There are several stores and boutiques that now specialize in full size clothing. They carry everything from intimate wear to business and evening wear. These stores not only know but they celebrate that real women do have curves, and they also aim to make plus size women looking and feeling beautiful and keeping pace with the latest fashion trends.

Just because a woman is not a size two does not mean that she is not active or even athletic. Plus size clothing, whilst long overdue, is quickly catching up with the fashion world. As the designers prepare for their spring and fall fashion shows many are also creating plus size fashion lines that will focus solely on the woman with curves. This is wonderful news for the full size women, because more and more they can look just as fashionable as that size two six foot tall model on the runway.

Designer plus size clothing must have quality, fashion and functionality in order for the plus size woman to buy their products.

Being a size two is not the norm in everyday life and while fashion designers have not entirely caught up with the real woman, they are getting there one stitch at a time and winning over consumers. Fashion for the full size woman is fun, flirty, fashionable, exciting and beautiful. Just like the women who wear the clothing.

According to 2 Kings 6:25-3 , the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes. 

As the king was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help me, my lord, O king!”  This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’  we cooked my son and ate him; but the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.

This inhuman, barbarous, cruel, ruthless, heartless, merciless story is not found in the Quran.

2 Kings 6:25-30

 

New International Version

25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.

26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”

27 The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”

28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’

29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”

30 When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and there, underneath, he had sackcloth on his body.

 

New American Standard Bible

25There was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver.

26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

27He said, “If the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

28And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

29″So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes–now he was passing by on the wall–and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body.

 

English Standard Version

25And there was a great famine in Samaria, as they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26Now as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!” 27And he said, “If the LORD will not help you, how shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.” 30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes—now he was passing by on the wall—and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body—

 

King James Version

25And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.

26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Inside every piece of clothing you’ll find a label. Study it well before buying the item. It is very important to get quality stuff. The quality of the piece of clothing lies not in its style, colour or design, but in the material. Therefore, everyone has to have at least some idea of what different types of materials there are and what characteristics they have.

The important layer of clothing is underwear. It underlies the body, thus, we should pay attention as to what they are made of. Earlier women were forced to wear several layers of underwear – corsets, knickers, underskirts and stockings. Aristocratic women would literally spend half a day changing. However, they were not at all always comfortable, the moreso that these rules applied in winter as much as in summer.

The last century brought spectacular changes in the underwear fashion. Contemporary woman has no time to spend, but has a magnificent choice of underwear. It’s beautiful, sexy, seductive and on top of all that – comfortable. You have to know how to choose what you need. If you have sensitive skin that gets irritated by abundant lace, go for natural cotton or silk underwear. It is useless to think that simple underwear does not match elegant clothes and visa versa. You have to know what you want – comfort or being able to play with your femininity by unrevealing flashy underwear.

The mid layer constitutes is the main clothing category. Its main function is to provide the body with warmth. As most of these clothes are in direct contact with the body, natural textiles such as cotton, linen and silk are recommended.

Cotton resembles linen, except that it is less resistant. Cotton is light and soft, resistant to heat, thus cotton clothes can be washed and ironed in high temperatures. It is impossible to resist a light cotton top or tunic, very much in fashion this summer. Cotton is pervious to air. When it is close to the body, it absorbs body moisture, fat and fractions of epithelium. It is a perfectly hygienic textile.

A woman who would not have a single piece of clothing made of linen is hard to find. Linen is one of the oldest textiles. Its most valued characteristics are as follows:

- regulate body moisture by evaporating it;

- it is pervious to air, whereby it creates a perfect body microclimate;

- it does not electrify;

- neutralise body odour.

Some love linen clothes, some hate them, as they crease easily. However, to me, the creasing also looks natural and contributes to the originality and charm of linen. That is why, if in summer we see a woman wearing a creased, high quality linen article – a suit or a dress, will never think that she is lousy.

Few people know linen tricot. A different set of machines are used to produce it and actual linen as the threads are very resistant. Combining linen with linen tricot some very original clothes can be designed. Linen tricot shares all the qualities with linen. Light linen tricot tops highlight body lines and create an elegant as well as feminine look. Linen clothes do not requite any special care. They are washed at 30-40°C in a washing machine and do not loose shape. Dry linen clothes are hard to iron, thus, it is recommended to iron them whilst they are still damp.

Natural silk is a unique animal textile. That is why we complement good skin by saying “soft like silk”. Many types of clothes are made of silk – underwear, suits, dresses, skirts, tops, etc. It is also a highly hygienic material. Worn in hot weather, silk refreshes and cools the body, whereas in cold, it warms it up. This is due to its low warmth permeability. Silk, just like all the natural textiles, absorbs moisture and never looks damp.

Silk has disadvantage if one can call it so, requires special treatment. Do not dry silk clothes in the sun. It permeates ultraviolet rays and thus with time, the material might loose its resistance. Wash it in warm water by hands as it expands in water and can shrink. However, a bit of a nuisance will never discourage people from wearing silk clothes!

We often associate wool with warmth. Like silk, it is an animal product. This textile is usually used to produce clothes of the upper layer that do not have direct contact with body such as jackets, coats, suits, ponchos, etc. Many people find wool rough and irritating. That is why bed clothing is made of sheep, camel or lama wool that does not need to be covered in cotton covers these days. People who live in the mountains wear wool hats and cloaks, which protects them temperature contrasts. One of the characteristics of wool is that it shrinks. It is recommended to dry clean it or wash with special wool products. In this way, wool clothes will keep their softness and fluffy.

Contemporary textile industry cannot avoid synthetic materials. Most clothes are made of mixed materials, for example, combining synthetics with wool reduces wool’s disposition to shrinking. Clothes of mixed materials keep the shape better, but don’t forget that they loose their natural properties too. Thus, better look for natural textile combinations such as linen-wool, silk-linen, cotton-wool. In this way you will look good and treat your body well.
