Abby Z, available at Nordstrom, are cute and fashionable clothes for plus sizes. A black silk club top was one of the items reviewed. Very cute design, perfect cut for over a camisole, and tied in the back, it would compliment either a skirt or even a pair of jeans. Jeans were also looked at, as they were very comfortable and soft. The cut was flattering and start at size 14.
Healthtex Review
After receiving these 'Healthtex Outpost 776' clothes, my son's immediate thoughts were, "Wow! Look at that cool Moose." I also liked the Moose. This Moose was on a button down short sleeve green and blue plaid shirt with grey long sleeves sewn in, making it a long sleeve shirt. It has a nice weight to it, and will go with khaki, grey, black, or blue pants. A pair of matching pants was sent to me. They are khaki with zippers midway to become long shorts. The pants have five pockets, for all the boy stuff and an elastic waist for easy potty breaks.
The next outfit is a navy blue and red rugby shirt with a brown collar, and a big three on front and back. It must be for the Bears team, because there is a cool bear on the front. My son liked this better than the Moose. The matching pants are dark navy blue corduroy, again with an elastic waist, excellent, and faux pockets on the lower legs. There are four actual pockets, and the back pockets close with snaps. These pants have belt loops so we can add a matching brown belt.
Overall these clothes are of excellent quality. The stitching is strong and will outlast the boys. They have a soft texture against a little boy's sensitive skin. Don't tell my son I called him delicate. In addition, the color contrasts on the stitching match perfectly. I am definitely going to seek out more Healthtex clothes for all of my children.
