Beth Ditto, an eccentric singer, confessed she buys her clothes from maternity shops. The woman said she is happy to wear garments intended for pregnant women.
When she was asked where she shops at home in Portland, Oregon, the 28-old replied:
Hilariously, Motherhood Maternity, in the mall! There’s also Fat Fancy, a plus size vintage store. I think Primark is pretty fantastic too. I got two pairs of harem pants from there recently. I like the idea of mixing them with a crazy Charles Anastase shirt or a Vivienne Westwood sweater.”
Beth is famous for wearing tight-fitting clothing that often reveals her huge curves. She even likes shocking her fans at concerts by demonstrating her body.
She said:
I feel sexiest in a little dress. People ask why I pull my dress up on stage – it’s because my dresses aren’t big enough. That’s why you see my legs all the time.”
The Gossip singer has recently designed a plus-size fashion range for UK store Evans that looks very pretty.

I’ve recently talked to a friend who told me that the first idea that flashes across his mind when he hears the word “model” is “zero size”. And yes, for many years we’ve been watching skinny girls walking down the runway. Now this is so usual that when we see a plump woman posing on the cover of a glossy or strutting at red carpet we feel surprised, no, that’s not the word, I would say astonished!
After that talk I decided to write a post about women who are not skinny but plump, and feel proud of their shapes. Of course there are few of such ladies but I like the fact there are they – those women who are confident enough to show up their figures and stand against all that nonsense told about heavy people.
We will begin from Crystal Renn, a supermodel with nice feminine curves. As well as other chubby girls, she used to limit herself in pastry, do plenty of physical exercises, go on various diets; but then suddenly stopped and understood that this was the way to nowhere.
And soon she posed for Jean-Paul Gaultier, and graced the covers of Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and ELLE.
The next big girl we are going to talk about is Mia Tyler. She is Liv Tyler’s sister and Steven Tyler’s daughter. She is a successful plus-size model, an actress and a fashion designer. She likes her shape a lot and doesn’t feel shy to show it.
See more curvy models…

Beth Ditto, the Gossip frontwoman, is to launch her own fashion line for plus-size women.
It’s been a dream,” Beth Ditto recently said about her collaboration with Evan’s head of design Lisa Marie Peacock for the last few months.
It’s just three weeks until we see the entire collection. But now we can take a look at some of her wonderful pieces.
It’s not a secret than it’s really hard for a plus-size lady to find something flattering and it’s good Beth Ditto decided to create this line.
We were told to expect a ’80s-inspired range’ and we do see a nice line including slouchy T-shirts, graphic domino-print dresses and studded accessories.
Sizes start from 14 and go up to 32. The line isn’t expensive. Prices are very affordable, starting at just $29.

Kate Moss, 34, did a exultant comeback to walk the runway in her first catwalk show in more than four years.
The model arrived with boyfriend Jamie, hairdresser James Brown and friend Fran Cutler at 10.30pm at The House Of Blue Eyes fashion show in Shepherd’s Bush last night as a favour to her friend, designer Johnny Blue Eyes at his first fashion show. Johnny Blue Eyes produced his new collection.
A source backstage said:
She was really excited, which surprised most people there as she always gives off the impression of being quite calm.
The show was hosted by Scissor Sisters’ singer Ana Matronic. Kate joined Beth Ditto of The Gossip in the show, which was attended by lots of her friends. Beth Ditto made her modelling debut in a tight pink clown costume.
When the show started, Kate Moss ran to the side of the stage and grabbed a top hat and switch from the rails and started snaping a whip Beth for fun, more as a kind of show.
Kate Moss was overheard joking:
I’m going to be your pimp tonight’.’
