Who doesn’t love Mad Men fashion? Especially for us fuller-figured girls, it’s been wonderful to see larger chests and fuller hips gain–well, if not popularity–then at least recognition in the media. We are seeing Mad Men fashions pop up everywhere.

In August, Banana Republic will debut their Mad Men capsule collection. Sadly, it won’t be available in our sizes, ladies. And, truthfully, the pictures I’ve seen of the collection pretty much neglect the factors that made the 60s-era fashion all the rage.

I mean, look at the model in the grey suit–she can’t even fill out the bust of that jacket. These stick figures actually do the clothes a disservice…and manage to make them look plain and unoriginal. I’m not the only one who thinks this either, lol. A headline at Gothamist.com reads, “Banana Republic Brings Mad Men to the Racks–Sans Racks.” This seriously cracked me up…because it’s so true! All of the models are ridiculously flat chested with little-to-no curves at all.

And Gail over at Retro Rack (who focuses on vintage fashion) also comments on how the BR line definitely does not accomodate the curvy physique that defines the era–and the show.

Even though the BR line is disappointing, I still love the Mad Men fashion and know that our full-figured bodies can rock this style the way it’s supposed to be rocked!

So, in my next post, I’ll share some “rules” for Mad Men dressing for the curvy girl. If you are rocking the 60s fashion, send me a picture to post at stylepluscurves (at) gmail (dot) com.
