Fulfilling Their End of the Bargain

Commissioner: CLB

Pyrrha and Ruby have a deal with Cardin: they do... nice things for him, he leaves Jaune alone. Well, tonight, they're paying up on their end of the deal, doing something for him that they've never done before. Cardin's not complaining about it either. After all, it's not his fault they think he's still bullying Arc, and until they realize that, he's definitely going to take advantage of this. (This is a continuation of some free prompts that I previously did: https://thegrimmrwbyfanblog.tumblr.com/post/165041368264/ and https://thegrimmrwbyfanblog.tumblr.com/post/150761939069/)

"Is this to your liking?" At Cardin's raised eyebrow, Ruby's flushed face only grew redder in humiliation, and she had to force herself to finish the question. "Master?"

Ruby was dressed in what had to be the sluttiest looking maid outfit she'd ever seen. She had never felt so humiliated, standing before Cardin in a tiny skirt that fully revealed her bottom if she bent over even slightly. To make matters worse, her "master" had seen fit to declare that her uniform would be the dress, lady stilts, and the most humiliating part of the costume, a jeweled plug for her ass.

At her side, Pyrrha wasn't faring much better. She wasn't dressed in the maid outfit Ruby was, but it was arguable whether that was better or worse. The taller red-head been given a bunny girl outfit, the red velvet clinging to her like a second skin and her black stockings making her svelte legs seem even longer. She threatened to spill out of her too-small top if she moved too suddenly, and, like Ruby, her legs quivered as she tried to deal with the sensation of a large butt plug. The only difference with hers was that instead of a jewel crowning it, hers was topped with a cotton ball tail to complete the image of a bunny girl.

"Not bad. Could be better, but not bad," he condescended, earning a glare from them both. The leader of CRDL got up from his bed, having called the two of them over to his team's room and kicking the other guys out until tomorrow so that he could enjoy some alone time with his visitors. He strode forward, slipping the crotch of Pyrrha's leotard to the side with one hand and moving his other underneath Ruby's skirt.

The two of them flinched, Pyrrha stoically baring the humiliation of the person she thought was bullying her crush as best she could while Ruby squealing slightly and clutch at his forearm as he stroked both of their lower lips. "W-Wait. Slow down a second." Pyrrha grimaced at his expression. "I-I mean, please? You swear that if we do this, then you'll start actually being nice to Jaune." It was a concession the two made, seeing that Jaune, for whatever reason, interacted with Cardin; if they couldn't stop Cardin from interacting with Jaune, they'd at least ensure that he wouldn't be mean to him.

Cardin huffed, getting annoyed at the constant insinuation that he was an asshole. They weren't wrong per say, but he was at least trying to get better about it. "Yeah, yeah. I promise. Now bend over the bed so we can get this started already."

They both blushed at the command but complied, getting on their knees and bending over so that their finely-toned rears stuck out. Black nylon stretched over Pyrrha's cheeks, the two split down the middle by the fabric that had slipped back into place and formed a plump pouch; bent over like this, it was more obvious that her tail was firmly inserted into her anus. In contrast, Ruby's privates were completely exposed, pale flesh visible as the hem of her skirt slid up her rump and gave a tantalizing view of a sparkling gem half-covered by cloth.

As much as Cardin enjoyed the sight of the girls presenting to him, he needed some relief. Shedding his pants as he went, he positioned himself behind Ruby, flipping up the barely legal girl's skirt and giving her exposed behind a firm slap. He grinned at her yelp, planting a hand on the small of her back and pushing her back down as she tried to sit up. Not at all caring about Nikos' glare, he nestled his cockhead right at Ruby's entrance, his crown nudging aside her folds. However, Cardin frowned at what he felt.

While not completely dry, Ruby wasn't wet enough for him to slip right in without issue, and given his size and girth, it would be an issue which would lead to a less than pleasant time for them both.

He'd just have to fix that, wouldn't he?

Ruby let out a confused "Huh?" when she felt him pull away instead of immediately shoving it in, the broad-chested student shuffling back on his knees. She let out low moan as she felt a single digit slowly push its way into her deepest parts. She buried her face into the mattress, trying to keep quiet as it bottomed out, Pyrrha laying a concerned hand on her shoulder. Except Ruby couldn't help but let a squeak escape her as the protrusion curled, pressing a rough pad against one of her more sensitive spots.

Her breathing grew heavy as it moved back and forth, her arousal growing more and more powerful with every repetition. Her inner thighs quaked with every scrape of his rough calluses against her walls. Finally, Ruby felt Cardin pull his finger out of her shivering hole after a few minutes, surprised at the disappointed mewl that she made.

Cardin chuckled as he examined his finger, it dripping with a clear and sticky fluid. He leaned forward to show it to Ruby, his length hotdogged between her cheeks while his weight pressed down onto her.

"I think you’re ready. Now, as we discussed: what do you say, Ruby?”

Faced with proof of her arousal, Ruby knew the obvious answer. “Please fuck me, Master. I-I’ve been a naughty girl, and I need to be punished.”

He grinned, maneuvering his lower head against her labia, ready to slide in with a single thrust. "Oh yeah? How do you want to be punished?"

Ruby whined, wanting both relief and to get this over with. "Please fuck me, Master! Pl-Please use your big cock to punish your naughty maid!" She tried to push back against him, trying to get his dick inside of her to scratch the itch slowly gnawing away at her. However, despite her best attempts, the iron grip on her waist kept her from moving as she wanted, easily frustrating her.

"Alright, alright. No need to shout," he whispered in her ears, the sensation of his lips brushing against her ear, making her shudder. Slowly, he pushed into Ruby's tight, wet depths, groaning himself at how marvelous she felt around his cock. Out of the corner of his eye, Cardin saw the bustier of the two redheads stare at Ruby, looking flustered at how easily the reaper was slowly succumbing to her base desires. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you, Nikos.”

Pyrrha gasped as a pair of burly fingers left her friend's waist and reached over to where she bending over the bed, the offending digits easily, pulling the bottom of her outfit over the smooth expanse of her ass to expose her crotch, her soft petals covered by the black nylon. She huffed in annoyance as the brute ripped apart the stockings to get at her slightly sodden lips even as he begin to pump in earnest. However, now exposed, it was all too easy for Cardin to start fingering her as well. Pyrrha couldn't help but shiver a little every time he toyed with the tail in her ass, the stimulation of her back hole only making her that much wetter and more sensitive.

Cardin loved how Ruby felt around his cock, the rosette moaning and now earnestly humping her hips back with every thrust, her maid costume now pushed up to her waist, the jewel in her ass shining and moving in time with every shake of her ass. With the hand not roughly finger-fucking Pyrrha to a fast orgasm, he reared back and gave her rump a hearty smack before reaching up and grabbing a fistful of Ruby's soft hair, drawing a loud and choked-out moan. He groaned at how her inner walls clutched even tighter at his length, her body instinctively trying to milk him for his seed.

CRDL's leader pulled at her hair hard, forcing her back to arch as he pulled her torso up off the bed, her body rocking with every hard thrust into her convulsing pussy. "Well, seems like you're pretty sensitive, huh Rose?" he growled into her ear, his hand in Pyrrha's honey pot moving up to lightly tug at the tail, teasing the embarrassed champion. "Seems like you deserve a reward. How'd you like that? You want a reward for being a good maid and taking care of your master?"

"Yessssh," Ruby agreed, her speech slurring with her orgasm. The hand in her hair gave another sharp tug, and she stilled as the thick rod inside of her still-twitching cunt twitched once, twice, thrice before a wet plume of heat bloomed inside of her, giving her orgasm one last extension before she slumped bonelessly in Cardin's grip, exhausted from the strength of her orgasm. "Th-Thank you, master~"

To Pyrrha's horror, it sounded like Ruby actually meant it when she thanked the bastard, the smaller girl cooing as his cock slipped out of her oozing slit. She watched as Cardin leaned back and gripped the plug's base, tugging it back and forth to stretch Ruby's butt, examining his work proudly as his cum started dripping down her thighs. Content with his work, he let the toy slip back into place, the plastic sliding into Ruby until the base was pressed firmly against her taut flesh.

No longer preoccupied with fucking Ruby, Cardin's attention settled on Pyrrha. His fingers still playing with her, he shuffled over onto his knees until he was right behind her and slapping his cock agaisnt Pyrrha's ass, enjoying the satisfying slapping sound with every thwack. However, that couldn't compare to the amusement he felt when he saw the humiliated face as she felt his and Ruby's juices splatter onto her stockings with every dull thwack.

"Your turn. We got all night for this. Now what do you say?"

It was only a harsh slap that left her rear stinging like crazy that forced the words out of her mouth. "Please, Master, give your slut-bunny your hard, throbbing carrot." It hadn't been exactly what she'd agreed to say, certainly more vulgar than she'd intended, but Cardin, the bastard, had left her right on the edge and she could barely focus.

"Eh, we'll work on it," Cardin shrugged before shoving in without any preamble. Nikos was already wet enough for him. It set Pyrrha off like a firework, the bustier redhead on edge after all the fingering that he'd been doing to her while he fucked her partner in this. Cardin could barely hold onto her as her hips bucked back and forth with him buried to the hilt inside of her. "Woah, you've got a hair trigger there, don't you? Well, that won't do, will it, slut? After all, what kind of servant cums without getting her master off first?" That was all the warning Pyrrha got before everything blurred.

Several hours later saw the two ladies sprawled out on his bed, splattered with cum and fucked stupid, Pyrrha's stockings tattered and Ruby's maid outfit permanently stained. Laying in between them, an arm around their shoulders, Cardin was already making plans for the next time they'd meet for this.

"Well, this was fun. Meet up again this weekend?"

Battle for Neverland Chapter 4

First Chapter

Next chapter

"Begorra, missy, but the Cap'n seems happier than a leprechaun with a pot o' gold this ev'nin'."

Smee was now trying the fifth out of the ring of keys he held, jabbing it into the keyhole, wriggling it about, then moving on to the next when it didn't fit.

"Yeah?" Riley leaned against the doorframe, attempting to seem calm despite her fingers rapidly tapping against her folded arms.

"Aye! Th' 'ole crew seems teh be in 'igh spirits as a matter o' fact," he grinned deliriously, child-like eyes beaming, "Mason even offered ta show yeh 'round the crew's sleepin' quarters, 'e did!"

Riley faked a surprised gasp, "Did he?!"

"Oh! Aye!" He missed about five times before finally looking where he was putting key seven, unsuccessful again.

"Which one's Mason?"

"Oh! Eh-eh..." he almost dropped the ring of keys, "The ship carpenter; big, strong feller."

She inhaled a hiss, "...great..."

"Happy as clams, the lot of 'em! ...Oh! Eeeh, cept fer Mullins… He seems a tad restless lately. Don't seem teh wanna put down 'is sword fer nothin', neither."

He cackled, and Riley went bug-eyed for a moment, "Oh..."

"Aye!"

There was then a click as he was at long last successful with key number nine. "Ah! There we be!"

Smee finally pulled the door open, motioning for Riley to enter. She had expected to find a somewhat empty room with nothing more than a small cot if she was lucky. So she was pleasantly surprised to find that it was quite generously stocked. The bed was fairly large, actually, though not quite the size of Hook's, and there was a small chest of drawers. She pursed her lips as she wondered if there might be better options inside than her current one.

There was also a small shelf of books, all as worn as the ones in Hook's cabin, and a single large window that let in the light of the brilliant Neverland sun.

Smee cleared his throat, "Well, then, lass, just yeh go behind the partition there and get into yer petticoat."

She jerked her head back toward him, then back to the pile of clothing cluelessly, "Petticoat..."

Smee adjusted his spectacles, "That there white one, lass."

She shuffled through the bundle a moment, seeing that there was indeed a white garment trapped in the expanse of pink.

"Oh…" she dumped the dress to the floor taking said petticoat and stepping behind the partition. Just another layer to more effectively be baked in the hot sun, she thought as she removed her clothes and pulled the scratchy garment over her head.

"Yeh ready there, then, lassy?"

Riley sighed, "Sure…"

Smee had her fasten the corset around her waist and began tightening. She gasped and immediately regretted it. For such a small man, Smee was strong, and she worried that the laces would snap each time he tugged on them. How they weren't cutting into his fingers, she had no idea.

"There! Heh! I hope that's tight enough..." Smee scratched his head, "Alrighty, then, lass. Let's get that dress on so we can make sure she fits."

Riley turned, arms stiff very much like a Barbie doll. Smee handed her the pink bundle, and she stepped back behind the partition. She held it up by a sleeve poof. In less than an hour, people were going to see her actually wearing this. She picked apart pieces of fabric, looking through the fluff for an opening.

She stuck her head in, only to be trapped in a lacy pocket. She growled in frustration, spreading apart section by section of fabric. 'Do I have to teleport into this thing? What?' Her frustration naturally directed itself at the person responsible for her struggles. 'Damn pirate...'

By some miracle, she at last found her way into the overly-complicated garment and waddled back around the divider.

"Well, I suppose that'll about do it then," Smee stepped outside the door, "Cookson'll tell yeh when the cap'n's ready for yeh," Smee assured, "Goodbye, then, missy."

As Smee left, Riley turned toward the mirror and gave a start. "Yeah…" she glowered, her annoyance at Hook growing nearly to anger, "He's gonna know exactly how much I appreciate this mess."

She looked herself up and down and quietly wondered if she might actually glow in the dark. The poofs at her shoulders were not at all flattering, and the skirt of the dress had to be at least five or six feet in diameter. It was obvious now why she had needed the corset; there was no way she could have fit into this monstrosity without one. The only good thing she could say about it was that that it made her boobs look amazing.

She jumped when without so much as a knock, Cookson entered the small cabin. "Eez dinner time!" he announced then left as quickly as he had appeared.

"Kay, thanks!" she yelled loudly after him. Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, she sighed, ruffling her hair in the hopes it would make her look a bit more like herself, "Thanks ever-so-much..."

Fingers floated across ivory keys, and Hook allowed himself to close his eyes, savoring the music as it overtook his senses. It was rare that he was in such a mood that allowed him to play so flawlessly, especially considering his handicap. A mood this good usually involved the capture of Peter Pan, and that hope was exactly what put him in such high spirits today. The most sure way to lure Pan to his doom had always been with the aid of a hostage. The wretch's annoyingly noble sensibilities required that he rescue any innocent in such dire straits. Even an adult.

And the maid's adulthood is what would make it so easy. After all, only children could fly. All he need do was to keep the girl placated until the right time came. He knew better than to let her in on his plan. Women were mothers by nature, and he doubted that she would go along with the idea of him using her to capture a child, no matter how horrid the boy may be. Nor did he think it wise to act as her captor. He had made the mistake of underestimating women in his younger days, and another escape attempt would only put plans at risk. What he needed was to make her seem like a prisoner to Pan while making her feel secure at the same time. It would be a delicate task, but if there was anything Hook was exceptional at, it was manipulation.

The notes halted at the light but quick knock on the door.

He adjusted his cravat as his long strides brought him quickly to the door, and he cleared his throat before opening it.

The young lady's eyes were wide, almost as if she hadn't expected him to answer, but he took in the ornate gown on her, deciding he was glad to have kept it instead of letting it go to the highest bidder.

"You look positively stunning, my dear," he beamed as he took her hand to gently brush his lips against it

Riley's fists grasped at the fluff of material at her side, "Thanks…"

Hook guided her to a seat at the end of a table that had been moved to the center of the room, pulling it out for her, and she sat. After confirming that she was comfortable, Hook took his own seat at the other end of the table next to where Short Tom sat on his perch.

"Neverberry wine, miss?"

Riley jumped at Smee's question, and Hook pursed his lips to stifle a chuckle. Her eyes shifted from the bottle, to Smee, back to the bottle, and then to Hook for a moment before returning to Smee.

"I think I'll pass this time, thanks."

"Oh… eh w-well" Smee stuttered, glancing nervously from her to Hook, who unsuccessfully attempted to hide a look of contempt. "W-would yeh be preferin' rum, then? Perhaps whiskey?" Smee persisted, sensing his Captain's annoyance that he was not properly satisfying his guest.

Hook muffled a barely audible groan of disdain and noticed Riley sink ever so slightly into her seat.

"No, thanks…"

Smee paused for a moment, again glancing nervously at Hook. "Well?" he growled toward the clueless bosun.

"Eh…" Smee uttered, clearly not understanding what Hook wanted from him, "...Cap'n?"

Both Smee and Riley jumped a good two inches when Hook's hook made contact with the table in front of him, "Go get some WATER ya clapperdudgeon LUMMOX!"

Smee nearly dropped the wine bottle with a yelp, "Aye, aye, sir!" and he disappeared out the door at an extremely impressive speed for someone his age.

"Ya lummox!" Short Tom squawked, "Get some water! Get some water!"

Hook took note of the girl's unease and gave her a gentle grin, "Do excuse my bosun, Madame. He is quite incompetent at the best of times."

"… that's alright…" she replied quietly.

"Was the cabin to your liking?"

"Yeah…" she responded simply, turning to the plate of food in front of her and digging in, "it's nice."

Hook furrowed his brow, puzzling over her short answers but quickly shrugged it off. Probably at a loss for words after her previous plight. She also must have been very hungry to eat any of Cookson's swill as voraciously as she was, so he busied himself with his own food, allowing her to have a few quiet moments to eat.

He looked up at her occasionally, each time to find her full attention still on the meal before her, and he felt the beginnings of wear on his sensitive nerves. Was she simply gorging herself to refrain from speaking with him?

"… ahem…"

She finally acknowledged him with eye contact, though she still chewed a mouthful of potatoes and meat.

"I...take it you enjoy the food?"

The question had clearly alerted her to how quickly she was scarfing it down, and she covered her mouth with a hand and nodded, swallowing quickly, "Yes...thanks..."

The roast was quite dry and the potatoes unpleasantly firm. Her answer was either from hunger, or an attempt at flattery. Hook raised an eyebrow as she bit into a dinner roll with a loud crunch, "First time for everything," he mumbled under his breath.

He shook his head subtly, 'Belay that, Hook... How could you expect a Yank to have the same luxuries as a British noblewoman?'

"I'm happy to see that the dress fits you nicely," Hook continued. "I had hoped I would have a use for it after I acquired it from a French merchant vessel. Does it please you?"

This finally seemed to catch her interest, as she finally relented her silverware. "Erm..." she swallowed, wiping her mouth with her napkin, "...well, about that..."

Hook's brow creased again, and he could sense her discomfort increase.

"Not that I don't appreciate it; it does seem to be an expensive dress, but I'd kinda rather wear my own clothes if that's ok."

Hook cocked his head, "Pardon?" He said this partially for clarification and partially because she had said it so fast, he wasn't sure he had heard her properly.

She bowed her head as she continued, "I mean… I… appreciate what you're trying to do for me, but… I think I'd feel better if I could just, ya know, go casual like everyone else…" She paused, attempting to read his expression, "Actually, I wouldn't mind at all working for my stay here…if you want, I could—"

"Oh, dear girl! You need not feel obligated to repay me for my hospitality," he insisted with a wave of his hand, "I do not do this for something in return, but because it merely pleases me to be of service to a young woman in need of assistance."

"And like I said, I appreciate it. I really really do! But I thought, ya know, maybe if I could help out around here maybe you'd have more time to see about getting me home and out of your hair."

A slight frown creased Hook's features. What sort of woman refused free room and board? Gears turned quickly as he mulled her request over. Having her work could easily ruin what he had planned; and while he would have offered a lady food, shelter, and clothing under any circumstances, the dress, in his mind, cemented her role in his plot in a most crucial way. It's what Pan would expect of a damsel in distress.

"You're asking to be a member of the crew?"

She shrugged, "Well, I mean...not permanently, just-"

"Madam," he began pointedly, "a pirate ship is no place for a lady in the first place. I have already gotten objections to your staying here at all." He placed his napkin on his plate, "As I said before, Miss Blade, you needn't repay me for my hospitality. I am glad to provide you shelter and my protection for as long as you remain in Neverland without compensation."

The girl sighed, "Alright…I understand you mean well, but…I didn't ask for your protection. You captured me, remember?"

Hook only let the insult show in his face for a split second, before hiding it behind a desperately charming smile, "Please, Miss Blade..." he purred, "...do not think that you are being held prisoner here."

"Then you wouldn't mind if I left?"

His face visibly stiffened, "That would be unwise..."

"But I could," she placed an elbow on the table, pointing with her fork, "If I insisted."

He felt the irritation scratching at the corridors of his mind, "Then I would have to insist that you not."

She cocked her head with a knowing look.

"I—" Hook countered, but he didn't finish. Instead, he sighed, begging to the gods for patience he had never been apt at wielding "My dear…Neverland is not a place one would want to get lost in."

"Really?" she said snippily, ignoring Short Tom's screeches of 'get lost', "You seem to have plenty of maps lying around. You couldn't bear parting with one?"

He swallowed a growl, his chair screeching across the floor as he stood abruptly and noted with amusement Riley's flinch.

"Neverland isn't a place that a young woman should be roaming about unaccompanied in," his tone challenged her to argue the point further as he paced to the window, "Perhaps, like those wretched children… you think Neverland to be a whimsical, amusive place." He gazed out the window, hand stroking his hook at the small of his back before looking over his shoulder. "It isn't."

He turned to eye her darkly, "This cursed island is a cruel place, Miss Blade. There are a plethora of plights out there that test even the likes of me."

"Like the crocodile?"

Hook's narrowed eyes darted toward her. Who was this girl? She couldn't possibly know his fear of the Croc. He shook off his initial surprise. She had seen the Croc earlier that day; clearly she referred to it merely as an example than a knowing accusation.

"That would be one instance, yes. This god-forsaken archipelago is a breeding ground for chaos. Numberless horrors await a hapless traveler unfortunate enough to stumble into their midst," he paced to leer ominously above her, "If you wish to return home, traipsing about that island on your own is a sure way to insure it never happens."

The girl fixed him with a calculating look, and Hook cursed himself for not being more prepared for resistance.

"Is the dress to protect me too?"

He cursed this girl and her aptitude for asking questions as well. Under most circumstances, his presence alone intimidated anyone into complying without a word. Anyone but Peter Pan...he realized, and his frayed nerves flared at the thought. "I have a standard to hold to on my ship, Miss. As my temporary ward, you will hold to them as well."

"I don't see anyone else in a dress," she motioned in the direction of the main deck with a flippant wave.

He finally let a low growl escape him freely, "I no longer wish to argue with you, my dear."

She finally stood as well, "Well, I do!" The top of her head barely reached the center of his chest, but she didn't seem to be off-put by it at this point, "It's one hundred plus degrees outside, I can barely breath, my arms look like a couple a' raw leg of lambs, and this damn petticoat is itchy as hell!"

The candlelight reflected red in Hook's forget-me-not eyes, "You have no want for complaints of "hell" yet, girl!" she had no time to flinch away as he grasped her chin to force her eyes to his, "I have been nothing but a gracious host thus far. Don't make me change that; neither of us would like it... Now finish your meal," he let go of her chin, finding joy in the angry and embarrassed flush in her cheeks, "My men have to clean this up before two bells, and I don't intend for them to fall behind."

Hook didn't miss the incense in her eyes as she sat down hard and tore back into the rigid bread. He smirked, "Perhaps while you're here, we can work on your manners as well..." He chuckled silently as he caught the bulgy-cheeked glare she fixed him with before turning away, lightly scolding himself for enjoying her discontent so much. But, Zeus, she was making it difficult for herself.

He couldn't find too much joy in it, however, as he unfortunately hadn't given her as much incentive to cooperate with him as he had intended, and he considered having an extra man on watch tonight. Perhaps he could station one of his dogs on the quarterdeck to keep an eye on her door. Yes, that would surely be sufficient. He didn't want to resort to ropes and chains just yet, and on the bright side, having her a tad discontented would further sell his illusion. She would make fine bait for Pan and his cronies yet.

Both turned their surprise to Smee, as he burst through the door and made quick work of filling Riley's glass with water. As he noticed both sets of eyes so intense upon him, he nearly filled it to overflowing before jerking the pitcher away with a slosh of water onto the table.

"Eh...would everything be alright, Cap'n?"

Hook smiled gently to the man, "Positively delightful, my dear bosun." He turned his eyes back to Miss Blade. "No complaints whatsoever."

Learn the Do's and Don't's of Dressing Your Plus Size Body

Every woman wants to look her best. Studying fashion magazines and trendy catalogs can give her a great idea of new styles to try out. But, for the plus size woman, looking at these new fashions can give her a sense of loss and frustration.

The overweight population is growing, and thus, more trendy and stylish plus size fashions are being brought to the market. However, following the latest trends may not be the best idea for a plus size woman. Every woman is the best judge of what looks best on her body, but there are some things to be careful of if you are plus sized.

Clothing with many drapes, ruffles, and layers may not be your best bet. These things enlarge a plus size silhouette, something that should be avoided. Plus size clothing should not hang on your body. You should try styles that flatter your body shape. There are many more choices today than tent-like dresses and unflattering stretchy polyester pants. A lot of flounces and ruffles might have the unfortunate effect of making a plus size woman look clownish.

Another thing to avoid is very tight clothing. Plus size woman have bulges and rolls that they do not want to show off to the world. While tight clothing may reduce your silhouette, it will do nothing to smooth it. Stretchy fabrics can be very comfortable and forgiving in plus size fashion. They will reduce sag and bag on pants' knees, blouses and shirts, and dresses. Skin-tight clothing may look messy and unprofessional.

Plus size fashion has many options these days. You can find something to suit any body type. Most plus size women are either an apple, round in the middle with thinner legs, or a pear, smaller upper body with large hips and thighs. In order to dress in the most flattering fashion, it is important not to accentuate your trouble spot.

Apple shaped plus size women should not wear shirts that gather tightly at the bottom. This plus sized fashion will only accentuate her larger upper half. Pear shaped plus size women should not wear tight tops with overly full skirts. This will accentuate her larger lower half.

Reducing the overall body silhouette is an important consideration, as is disguising a plus size body's trouble spots. Plus size fashion has come a long way. However, to dress attractively and appropriately, women must understand which fashions are right for her body type and personal style. Melanie L. Marten.

Best Styles of Eyelet Skirts

An eyelet skirt is usually lacy or has ruffles with small cut-out shapes of flowers, stars or any other type of accent. They are girly, fun to wear for warm months and look on point with any type of jacket or blouse. Here are the best styles of eyelet skirts that go well with any kind of shirt and shoe type.

Layered

A layered eyelet skirt usually has three tiers and comes in a white or cream color. These kinds of skirts look feminine and fun where comfort is not an issue. They are casual enough to be worn with a simple grey T-shirt paired with a brown leather or faux leather jacket. Layered skirts often are one of the most easy types of skirts that can be worn on the go, and the eyelet is no exception. Wearing a layered eyelet skirt with some brown flat boots is also quite essential.

Long and Laced

Long- to medium-length eyelet skirts usually have three layers of having cut-out eyelets with some lace trimming. They come in white and off white colors, but in recent years, dark blues and even pinks can be seen. They are perfect for an offbeat summer look, worn with some low sandals, even flip flops, and a big straw beach hat. A short-sleeved blouse completes the look, especially if it has a bow tie around it, adding something not so plain. Not only can it be worn with sandals, but nude high heels make it a smash as well.

Mini Skirt Style

A layered eyelet skirt may be just a little longer than a mini, but it simply does not have the same effect. A short eyelet mini is cute and girly, especially in soft pastels without feeling too exposed. They can be worn with short-sleeve blouses, never too long, since this can create an off balance. Black or nude tights with heels add a bit flare to the look, as well as keeping it cool and casual with some boots. No one can go wrong when adding an eyelet mini to their summer wardrobe.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress

The little black dress is hanging in nearly every woman's closet because it is so versatile; it can be worn day or night, for casual or formal occasions, and in any season. The problem with such a simple, versatile little black dress is how to make it look different each time it's worn. Here are a few tips on how to make your little black dress even more versatile.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress: Accessorize

Not enough can be said about accessorizing where the little black dress is concerned; an accessory can entirely make the outfit and too many people think that the outfit stops with the dress.

Try switching up purses, adding a colorful belt, necklace or scarf to your little black dress to spice it up, or perhaps a hat; wide brimmed sun hats are quite glamorous for daytime wear with a little black dress.

Don't be afraid to experiment here because fearless accessorizing can lead to the very best ensembles. Try mixing styles to create an eclectic look; perhaps pair an 80's cuff bracelet with your classic little black dress, or a boho chic handbag.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress: Color

Color should be used sparingly with the little black dress so as not to dilute it, but if done right, a splash of color can entirely change the dress. Try adding a pair of red pumps, a red boho chic bag or classic clutch, or a red ruby necklace, or go eccentric and try a canary yellow silk scarf with your little black dress.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress: Layer

Don't forget about the option of layering; depending on the season and particular style of your dress, you could layer a lace shawl, a plush pashmina, or a blazer over your little black dress to create different looks.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress: Shoes

Some people think of shoes as accessories, but they really are kind of in a category of their own. There is so much you can do with shoes to give variety to the little black dress.

Depending on your other accessories and colors, you could play up the shoes wearing an eye catching red or play them down with a mute taupe or beige shade; you could go heel or flat. If you typically where your little black dress with a beige princess heel, try a peek-a-boo toe red heel. Try what you've never tried before.

How to Makeover Your Little Black Dress: Conclusion

Just think outside the box the next time you put on your little black dress; there's no need to run out and buy a new little black dress for every occasion when you can just spice up the one you already have with items in your closet.

How to Find Plus Size Punk Clothes

It's been my experience, as a plus sized girl, that plus size punk clothes are nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price. In this article, I'll show you how to acquire plus size punk clothes easily and inexpensively.

Sure, we can shop at Hot Topic or Torrid, but on my income that equates to a clearance top every month or so. Of course, the most punk thing to do is make your plus size punk clothes on your own. This is not always easy and if you aren't good with your hands may prove overwhelming.

Online Auctions for Finding Plus Size Punk Clothes

Ebay and Etsy will become your best friend fr finding plus size punk clothes. For my summer wardrobe, I was able to buy four plus size punk mini-skirts, an awesome plus size punk dress made by Torrid, three pairs of Bermuda shorts and countless punk t-shirts for about $100. At Torrid or Hot Topic, that might buy you a pair of jeans.

Ebay constantly has a barrage of plus size punk clothes and they're cheap - fractions of the cost of regular retail stores. There are even a few sellers who make unique plus size punk clothes and offer them at very reasonable prices. Of course, I would recommend looking for original pieces first. Support the little guys!

Etsy is another great auction source for plus size punk clothes. However, they can sometimes be pricey. I've found amazing deals there but you have to dig and keep coming back.

Punk or not?

Also, when looking on Ebay, remember to search for things that aren't necessarily punk by themselves but can be converted into great plus size punk clothes.

An example is two pair of Jones NY shorts I bought for about $10. These were advertised as women's Bermuda shorts but I could definitely see the punk potential here. They are long shorts that I sewed a patch onto and wear them with a pair of converse low-tops and a band tee.

As plus size punks, we have to get creative. Take a regular jean jacket from a thrift store that you can normally buy for under $5, add patches and studs and voila! It's an instant and cheap plus size punk jacket! Look for items that you can make your own.

Thrift Stores for Plus Size Punk Clothes

Another great resource for plus size punk clothes is your neighborhood thrift store. Granted, you probably won't be able to find many items that are usable as-is. But, I've got some tips for making plus size thrift store finds a little more punk (and interesting).

Look in the men's slacks section. Find men's old Dickies work pants that fit your waist and cut them off to make shorts. Don't worry about cutting them evenly or hemming. Ha! You're supposed to be a punk! Chop those legs off and wear them! Let them fray; add patches, studs, zippers, etc. to make your own unique, plus size punk clothes.

Find a plaid skirt that fits your waist and cut it up; add zippers, d-rings, straps and studs. Anything can be modified easily with a little creativity and before you know it you'll have tons of plus size punk clothes.

Thrift stores are excellent places to find t-shirts. If you like the logo or picture, buy it! It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit. You can cut out the logo and sew or pin it onto a solid color t-shirt you have that does fit.

Other Ways with T-shirts

There are many things you can do with t-shirts to expand your plus size punk clothes collection. You can buy them too large and resize them. When I go thrift store shopping, I buy every t-shirt I like then resize them to fit if they're too large.

If you have a sewing machine, this isn't very difficult. I've listed a site in the resources section that will show you exactly how to do it.

Spray Paint! That's right; spray paint is a great tool for making t-shirts for your plus size punk clothes collection. Buy or make some letter stencils and spray paint your favorite quote or band name onto a solid color t-shirt. This can also be useful for jackets, bum flaps, etc, and it costs pennies!

Use online auctions for buying your base pieces, a few shorts or skirts and dresses. Then hit up thrift stores for items you can modify into plus size punk clothes. Not only is this more ethical than shopping at Hot Topic, it's also easier on the wallet. Plus, you'll have your own one-of-a kind plus size punk clothes! W.S.

The Business of Fashion: Not Owning Your Name

When I decided to study fashion design, I was never presented with the notion that I may have to sell my designer name. When lessons arose concerning the business side of fashion all talk was about brand image and recognition using well-known fashion designers as the example. As a designer or design student, you know top fashion brands like Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Emanuel Ungaro and a few other major designer names. However, did you know that these designers do not own their name/brand?

Owning a Label is Expensive

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of fashion designers worldwide who work for design houses, own design houses or work as freelance designers. Those who become famous and start their own fashion lines have to keep in the back of their minds the possibility of selling their name. It sounds kind of crazy that a person would sell their name, however, running a design house that produces multiple lines and presents several times a year is very costly. Unless the designer is independently wealthy where he or she can use their own capital to fund the business when sales and operating costs become too much, then a financial backer is often needed. However, a financier not only is seeking to invest in a designer's brand...they often are taking ownership of it along with that designer's name.

The Benefit of Selling Your Name

Holding companies like LVMH (Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton), PPR (Pinault-Printemps-Redoute) and the apparel company Phillips Van Heusen (PVH) own well-known designer brands. Some specialize in simply fashion like PVH while others have pretty much cornered the market on luxury brands like LVMH. The benefits to fashion designers who sell their brand -- their name -- to these companies is primarily the abundant cash flow that allows them to have their name on multiple clothing lines, fragrances, accessories and a few luxury goods.

On their own, with their own income, very few design houses or designers can afford to continually produce such a broad spectrum of goods even if they are making a sizable profit. This does not mean it is impossible. Chanel and Armani are design houses who have full control over their brand and multiple product lines and are courted by buyers seeking a piece of their fashion design pie.

The Downside of Selling Your Name

Obviously not owning your name would be the major downside to selling it. However, the trickle-down effect of this runs deeper.

- You don't have control over what your name is attached to. If you are still active within your brand, you will have some input. Ultimately, you do not make the final call.

- You can be fired. Unless you have a contract with the company which stipulates that you will be head designer or creative director over your brand until your decide to retire, then you can be replaced. Look at the misfortune John Galliano brought upon himself in February 2011. Christian Dior owns John Galliano's brand and was fired on March 1, 2011.

- If fired, retired or your brand is dissolved, you lose the right to design under your name. One of the pitfalls for Galliano when he was fired, was he lost the right to design clothing under his name. Christian Lacroix's brand was diminished to licensing for fragrances and accessories. While the designer himself still creates fashion costume, he cannot design under his name anymore.

Designers and the Companies That Own Their Names

Here are a few designers - both alive and deceased - who no longer own their brand/name:

- Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Emilio Pucci and Givenchy are all owned by LVMH.

- PPR owns Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Stella McCartney and Balenciaga.

- Calvin Klein - sans Calvin Klein the founder who is still alive - and Tommy Hilfiger are owned by PVH.

As a designer or design student, you may have dreams of becoming the next Donna Karan, Alexander McQueen or Marc Jacobs. Just remember that each of these designers sold their brand, their name, to be able to create the fashion they - and you -- love. However, take into consideration the pros and cons of selling your brand. In essence, the choice is between, "Do you want to own your brand or be an employee of it?"
