Just like it sounds, women with a rectangular shape are "tall glasses of water" without too many curves. Add a few by wearing dresses and tops with defined waists.

I just wish I could find some tops besides T-shirts that don't put all my business out there.

Bravo, Catherine’s! I feel what you're saying about the T-shirts. @Ms. Crosby I've to check out the website to see what Catherine is truly offering in terms of summer wear. But they do have some lovely skirt sets. The ladies look gorgeous not stuffed, into non-accentuating wear. Thanks for the heads-up because I've never heard of Catherine's before now.

Added Dimensions is not "New". About 10 yrs ago they actually had stores in the south & Mid West. It did well at first then died out. I guess they're gonna try it again!

Somebody needs to get back to making and creating churh wear for the plus size woman. Like decent church blouses that are not cut so low, suits that are not knee length, skirts that are designed for church. There are still some plus size woman that likes to look good in a suit and not pay 200 or 300 for one.
