There's a lot of talk about the fashion industry promoting women with a perfect shape; not only is this almost impossible to achieve, but even on the high street, finding clothes that fit anything other than the perfect shape is often very difficult as well. At last there's a place in cyberspace for you to celebrate your individuality: Uniquely Woman. The website's rather long winded mission statement says it all: "every woman is different and every woman should be allowed to express her individuality through stylish fashions that illustrate, and above all, celebrate the fact that she is 'uniquely woman'". At the heart of the website is a database of shops and suppliers that stock a variety of hard to find women's clothing and shoes including large, small, tall and short sizes. There is even vegetarian, vegan and organic clothing. Backing this information up is a great selection of features and articles covering everything from how to make the most of your figure, to dealing with the effects of breast cancer. The articles and features are a great read for anyone, and really inspiring, but I'm afraid this is a UK based service, so you won't find the supplier directories much use if you live outside of the UK, unless they offer an internet sales service and you're happy to buy before you try.
