Review of Alight.com: 'Plus-Size' Shopping Made Easy

Regardless of all of the movements to promote inner beauty, not to judge a person on their looks, and ongoing encouragement to accept oneself, possibly the hardest things for a woman to admit is their weight. Advertisements for all of the major labels don't help, when the ideal woman is no larger than a Size 2. So it's easy to say shopping is not the most enjoyable activity for a plus size woman. And for a woman who has just stepped over that size line from so-called "normal" sizes into the wonderland of "plus" size, the thought alone is daunting enough. Luckily, Alight.com has made shopping a little more discreet, and enjoyable, for the woman who doesn't need or want the entire mall to know they don't fit the Size 2 stereotype.

Alight.com has brought many brands of "plus sized" women's clothing to one place. They offer name brands, such as Lane Bryant, as well as less known brands. It is a one stop shop, offering everything from jeans to evening dresses, and the accessories to finish off the look. So whether you're looking for something to wear to the office for a big meeting, or ready to paint the town red, you're more than likely to find something to fit your discriminating taste.
The organization of Alight.com makes shopping extremely easy. They have everything divided by product category for easy navigation. You can also view by size, cost, and even by brand. If you are looking for a particular item, there is a search field that you can search by any keyword. When viewing a category, at the left you can roll over the product with your mouse to see a larger version of the item, right there on the spot. Once you have found a product you want to buy, you can click on the item, then select a color and size, and finally click "add to bag."
