The red and gold shirt is “baseball style” — meaning the three-quarter-length sleeves are a contrasting color. It features the Gryffindor House crest on the front, and the name “Potter” on the back.

The T-shirt is available in sizes 0 (12) to 4 (26/28) and costs $34.50. Click here to buy it.

I’m not a fan of pricey bathing suits. If I’m going to spend $100 on clothes, I want to get more than one thing. If you’re like me, you should check out this floral suit from the always-affordable Forever 21. It’s pretty and feminine, with ruffles along the plunging neckline. I love the print, which is bold but can help camouflage problem areas. The suit also has a fairly-high back and padded cups.

But the best thing is the price, just $29.80. The suit is available in sizes XL to 3X (11/12 to 17/18).

The members-only shopping site ideeli — which offers clothes and accessories at a steep discount for a limited time — has added new plus size sales. “Plus Size Perfection” will be held on alternating Wednesdays starting at noon. It kicked off this week.

Petite sales will be offered on the other Wednesdays.

Plus size designers participating so far include Ravon, Tiana B, Tahari, Donna Ricco New York, Seven7, Juicy and Calvin Klein. The first sale included casual and fancy dresses, jeans, tops, coats and even lingerie. Prices were good too. This adorable khaki skirt from XCVI, which retails for $105, was offered for $29. And this pretty blue dress from Tahari was on sale for $59, though it retails for $159.

The conversation around special sizes first began with ideeli’s followers on both Facebook and Twitter, where members began expressing a strong interest in seeing plus size options on the site.

“Many designers cap their collections at size 10, yet there is clearly demand for contemporary styles in fuller-figured sizes. With special size apparel still underrepresented in retail – particularly in the popular flash sale category – we couldn’t ignore the incredible response from members and we’re excited to now offer a great selection of brands, styles and sizes on a consistent basis,” says Mary Harmon, group vice president at ideeli.

But here’s the catch: Because Inclusive will be sold only on H&M’s website, plus size ladies in the United States won’t be able to get it. According to Frockwriter, the items will be available in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Swedish Finland and the UK.

It’s a real shame, because the clothes look great. They’re much more fashion-forward than a lot of plus size lines by other retailers. We may not be able to buy it here, but Inclusive is a real step in the right direction.

Here’s a look at a few of the dresses that will be available:

This smocked knit dress from Walmart costs just $18, but it’s really quite cute. I love the feminine ruffles on the neckline and the short puffed sleeves, and I’m always a fan of an empire waist. But I especially like the ruffled tier on the bottom, something you don’t see all the time.

The dress is available in four colors: fuschia (pictured), black, dark teal (really more blue) and teal (green). It costs $18 and shipping is just 97 cents. Sizes available are 1x (16) to 4x (26/28).

Morae is the daughter of actress Lisa Raye, and appears with her mom on the reality show “Lisa Raye: The Real McCoy.” According to Bossip.com, Morae is Apple Bottoms’ first plus-size spokesmodel.

Morae herself recently said that in the modeling world, what’s considered “plus size” is what the rest of the world considers normal. She told Gloss magazine: “I don’t because most people don’t realize when you see plus-size models, you see a girl that’s about a size 12 or 14. To me, it’s just thick, it’s not plus-size. I don’t think I’ll ever be skinny; I don’t want to be skinny.”

Here are some behind the scenes pictures from the Apple Bottoms shoot, which was done by photographer Derek Blanks. Looks like the shoot will be featured in an upcoming episode of “Lisa Raye: The Real McCoy.”

If you’re larger, shopping for maternity items can be hard; it seems like many stores only offer items in “standard” sizes. And often, what is available, can be very expensive.

I like Torrid’s line, though the items are a little tamer than the typical trendy, somewhat sexy clothes the store sells. Torrid’s maternity options also aren’t too expensive — definitely a plus when you’re buying clothes that won’t be a permanent part of your wardrobe.

The majority of the items Torrid is offering are tops, with a few cardigans and dresses thrown in. There are only a handful of pants; two skinny jeans (one with a belly band, the other without) and a pair of leggings. But again, when you’re looking for maternity, a focus on basics is a good idea.

One of my favorite items is this pretty red dress with crocheted shoulders and back. It also comes in black, and the crochet detail adds some visual interest to an otherwise simple look. The dress is $54.

Another favorite of mine is a rather sporty-looking faux wrap top that’s available in plum and black. It’s got a nice peplum bottom that cinches below the belly, and a pretty rosette detail on the back. It costs $38.

Torrid’s maternity items are available in sizes 0 (12) to 4 (26/28). Many items are online-only, but you can call Torrid to find out what store near you has maternity items. Their customer service number is 866-867-7431.

The black mesh bodysuit features a pink center panel and pink cups under the lace bra. It has a snap closure at the cotton-lined crotch (so important in a bodysuit), but also has a bra-stye hook and eye closure in the back. The straps also are adjustable.

I’m sure your partner will be wowed if you wear this on Valentine’s Day or any other day.

The bodysuit is $49, and comes in sizes 14/16 to 26/28. Click here to buy.

• Follow three fashion fundamentals: silhouette, proportion and fit. When they are in harmony and balance, anyone can look fabulous.
• Invest in the essentials: wrap dresses, belts and skirt/top combinations. Each of these items will have long lasting staying power.
• Shop smartly: When people shop on a budget they are very thoughtful and mindful about how new items will fit into their wardrobe and lifestyle. Think strategically about your overall wardrobe and how the garments you are purchasing will fit in.
• Embrace your shape: Even if it seems that everyone is wearing a particular style one season, be sure to evaluate how it will work with your shape before committing to purchase it yourself. Embrace your own shape—it’s beautiful — and adopt the trends that accentuate your best features.

“If getting fashion right were easy, everyone would look fabulous, but it can be challenging… Providing helpful styling tips is great because it helps people celebrate their new look and recalibrate their thinking about style, while finding an enhanced self-confidence,” Gunn said.
