The Rules of Plus-Size Style
At Achievable Fashion we are never concerned with being a certain size. In fact we know most of us real women are nothing like the supper skinny models in the fashion magazines. We believe looking great is never about being a 0 or Size 2 but rather about dressing correctly for you shape.
