Cat couture.  Cute!

I know that Lane Bryant is also going to be featuring part of her line, starting in late August, I believe.  Can't wait!  I already have some of the tops from HSN in my cart.....

I like that cat sweater.  Pockets, too!

(Just noticed it's polyester.  That might be an issue.  Still cute, though.)

Now all I have to wish for is weather cold enough to wear it in CA.  The last few years I haven't been able to tolerate a sweater for a whole day.  Keeping fingers crossed for a cold (and very rainy) winter on the west coast.

All this warm weather is wreaking havoc with my fashion choices!!

Women with plus-sized clothing lines  have been starting new lines for this reason for years.  I remember Delta Burke saying about the same thing when she had her plus-sized line on QVC; same with model Emme.  This is nothing new, that's for sure.

EXCEPT for the fact that she has innate creative talent and extra passion for fashion design.

AND her "Melissa McCarthy Seven7" line isn't just for extra-curvy chicks; it goes from size 4 through 28.

She was a Clothing & Textiles major before someone encouraged her to try stand up, and has been a fashion lover since childhood.

That's a link to her website, and her debut line is called "Melissa McCarthySeven7".

You should never judge by instantly (& ignorantly) assuming.  

Anything.

So totally negative.

Better than the heavier-weight 100% acrylic, though.

Her items appear to all be up for purchase and it looks like they all have free s/h.  The prices seem a little high but of course I don't know the quality.  Interesting to see that she has jeans in ther line ranging from skinnies to bootcut but they are all in the $90.00-$108.00 range.

I never knew she had a textile degree, that's interesting. I know for sure that she makes me laugh. She's also a very pretty woman.

I wondered what shopping channel she'd show up on with her clothing line.  Well, now I know.  I have fashion magazine that showed a couple of things from her line but they didn't say where we could buy the clothes.  I didn't care for the items shown.  Too much fabric, to wide and blousy.

According to Wikipedia she did not graduate from college, but we all know you don't have to graduate from college to be smart enough to be successful!
