REVOLUTION, the brand that’s created its own niche by opening up a whole new world of ready-to-wear fashion for plus size women doesn’t just make ‘big’ clothes and forget about them. Every design that is brought into the store is carefully thought out and tailored, ensuring both comfort and style.

It’s time to step out from behind the curtains, straighten up, hold your head high, plant a smile on that one-of-a-kind face and start living. There’s more to life than an hourglass figure. Get fit. Be healthy. Stop trying to fit into a mould. Accept yourself completely and happily.

With the mercury rising, it’s time to put away all those lovely jackets and pullovers and celebrate your curves with Revolution’s Summer 2007 collection. Women’s wear this season focuses on simplicity and leaves all the extravagant embellishment of the party season behind. The move is towards something pure, soft and sensuous.

The silhouettes used are balloon to basics, which could be soft and unstructured, or frills and pleats to add fullness to styles. Some of the styles that will attract attention this season are shirtdresses, simple shirts, wide balloon sleeves, soft collarless looks, kimono sleeves, overlapping front and deep necks.

Pants have always been popular with the modern woman. This summer try a whole new range of designs ranging from harem pants, ankle length pants, knee-length gauchos, bootleg fit or straight fit. Culottes are a rage this season, super comfortable and available in different lengths. The more formal look is complete with skirts; both with full flare and straight fit.

Surface embellishment this season includes antique lace, pearl embroidery, sequins, metal sequins, cutwork, embellishment on laces, laser cut, mask and African inspired prints and much more. You can also look out for fabrics with fresh and colorful floral prints, and a new range of checks and stripes.

This season is a kaleidoscope of colors, from soft and fresh to vibrant brights like deep coral, desert rose, sun orange, pearl whites, fresh pink, lime yellow, turquoise, and midnight black, mint green and red. White is again the most favored, from stark white to pearl white, making a great summer.

It’s time to play around with fabric that is sensual and feminine with subtle complexity, such as satin and film silks, chiffon and linen. And a touch of metal, glitter, glaze or chintz makes a world of difference to the most basic apparel. Fabrics are soft and fresh like voile prints, cotton crepe, terry voile, chiffon prints, georgettes, all over anglaise embroidered, polyesters with stretch, viscose with stretch, cotton knits and linen. Lots of sheers in solid colors, checks, stripes, beautiful prints, laces and gold details. Most of the fabrics have been washed to give that soft and comfortable feel.

Denims are big this season as well, the focus is more on the washes, which range from a completely torn, washed and used look to a dark unwashed look.

So walk into Revolution’s exclusive stores today, and get set for a cool summer !!!
