I was excited to see the plus size collections from Jessica Biffi for Addition Elle and MXM but am feeling underwhelmed.
A little background: Jessica Biffi was a contestant on Project Runway Canada, and is a plus size woman. After the show, she teamed up with those 2 plus size stores to create collections.MXM and Addition Elle are kind of like the Canadian Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant (Canadian girls - do you agree with my LB comparison?).
The lines were announced to much fanfare but when I went to check them out, they were just... ok. Listen, they are wearable. Cute, maybe even. But designed? No. They are standard plus size line fare, in my opinion. I want to see something hot, something exciting, something worth having her own capsule collection. These are just sort of meh.
What do you think, are you as underwhelmed as I am?

Completely underwhelmed, but then again it's perfect for Canadian plus size "fashion" which is years behind US offerings.
