Target's Plus-Size Line is Officially Here

by Hayli Goode

Rewind back to January when Target customers were frustrated that the plus-sizes from their collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer would only be sold online? The company heard our cries loud and clear and responded by announcing is first plus-size clothing line in partnership with bloggers Nicolette Mason, Chastity Garner, and Gabi Gregg. Now fast-forward to today: the Ava & Viv collection is here!

Yup, you can shop officially shop the Ava & Viv collection online and in stores! Not only are the pieces fantastic, the collection includes tons of different styles (including bathing suits, which should not be a big deal, but apparently it is) and nothing costs more than $80.

This is honestly the perfect anecdote to the Lilly Pulitzer mini-fiasco, in my opinion. More brands could stand to listen to their customers as well as Target has. Instead of delivering a non-apology, the company gave shoppers exactly what they wanted. Although it would have been cool if they put the Lily Pulitzer collection in stores, these stylish Ava & Viv wares more than make up for that snafu. Take a look at some of the great pieces you can find in the Ava & Viv collection in stores and online.

Cute Basics

I'm happy to see that the line includes form-fitting basics that hug curves instead of hiding them. You can scoop up basic tees, three-quarter length tops, and camisoles that can be worn with anything. Also, this one is only $9!
