let me first say i lurv j-hud. i think she is a great role model for the curvy girls. however i am SOOO SICK of her particular fondness for her style of dress. it is seemingly the empire waisted dresses w/ deep plunging v-neckm in varying colors and length. she really should move out of her comfort zone, 'cause her style is getting tired.

It's as if empire-waist dresses is the norm for women with curves---that's what I think these designers are trying to tell us. JHud can definitely wear any style she wants.

So on that I say...

Soulkat I'm working on putting together pictures of JHud in her empire-styled dresses all together.
