Plus size German brands: Ulla Popken and Emilia Lay

Both Ulla Popken and Emilia Lay, companies based in germany,  offer up to the minute fashionable plus size clothes offering a unique European style. The stunning collection of clothes from Emilia Lay is designed for the top end of the market in sizes 12 to 24 (UK size). These high quality clothes are perfect for fashion conscious women in their mid 30’s up who want comfortable plus sizes in exclusive designs. The Emilia Lay collection offer high fashion and elegant casuals, style-safe business fashion, and accessories; and all the sizes are at the same price. The styles of clothes at Emilia Lay are as individual as the women who wear them. You can order the feminine collection online or from their catalogue. You can visit Emilia Lay online at their site www.emilialay.de.

The Office Collection is much tailored with blazers and tailored trousers in blacks and whites. Use of bold colours is also effective with floral prints and blocks of colour in reds, purples, oranges, and yellow. Jackets are detailed with contracting piping and hemming detail, and pinstripes feature.

Dresses are bright and colourful making good use of floral prints and bold stripes. With stylish choices for day and evening, you will not be disappointed with the range. One of my favourite is the Druckkleid Dress available in orange of lilac. This dress is a generous V-cutout in an asymmetrical flowing style with a white circular print.

The range of tops is extensive with casual weekend styles, floating summer tunics, stripy blouses, and fitted tunics, in varying summer colours. One top I like in particular is the Tunika which has a gypsy look, in white, with embroidered detail at the waist and neck.

The collection continues with a wide selection of jackets, nightwear and lingerie, beachwear, shoes, and accessories.

In contrast Ulla Popken [site:www.ullapopken.co.uk] offer women of today the opportunity to develop their own style, regardless of size. Their collections don’t change every season, they change every month! This gives women the opportunity to wear original clothes and show off their individual style with ease. The Ulla Popken collection is available online and from their stores. In just the same way as Emilia Lay, Ulla Popken offers fashion for every day, feminine business outfits, and fashion for special occasions. Their target audience is also for women in their mid 30’s up; however, their designer style clothes are at a much more affordable price, in sizes 16 to 38.

The spring collection from Ulla Popken is very feminine and stylish with floating styles, modern chic tailored lines, and street style casual looks; all in lovely colours of green, purple, blue, red, white, and black. Floral prints are also prevalent as are stripes.
