This was informative and a good read in the sense it did not focus on "Oh, you're fat and want to cover it up or need something to wear while you're losing that unsightly weight."  I always prefer books, Ezines, Magazines, blogs, etc., that embrace everyone at every size/shape/style/etc., and meet them where they're at and not where society tells them they should be.  I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because at the end of EVERY chapter and sometimes in between them they kept listing their Plus-Size-Magazine website to go to for further information.  I get that the magazine wrote the book, but I felt like it was one long advertisement.  I have gone to the website and do like it and will continue to visit so please don't get me wrong.  I just felt that a plug at the beginning and end of the book would have been sufficient - even on the cover if they wanted to list their website that would be cool.  Just not after every discussion and sometimes in lieu of furthering the discussion on the pages that I was actually reading at that moment in time.  Anywhiddle, I thoroughly enjoyed the DIY section on wearing knits for the plus sized woman.  I am not a knitter - but I am now considering taking a knitting class and learning.  It was an excellent interview and they offered great websites to browse through for more information.
