Beth Ditto Designs For Plus-Sized Gals

There's no doubt songstress Beth Ditto is proud of her zaftig figure.

There's no doubt songstress Beth Ditto is proud of her zaftig figure. After being approached by Topshop to perform at its flagship store in London, Ditto struck back stating, “I don’t think it’s fair to put my face somewhere where they would never let me in there to wear their clothes." Her wish is Topshop's command. Word got around to Arcadia, Topshop's parent company, and now the singer is set to design a plus-sized collection for Evans, a company under the Arcadia umbrella. Ditto's offerings, available online on July 9, will include hip styles such as corset dresses and cropped biker jackets. Kudos, another nod to the plus-sized gals!
