POPSPuff Sleeve Long Jacket: Do This is a fabulous piece, and if all puff sleeves looked like this, bridesmaid dresses would not be the act of torture they've become!

POPSSleeveless V-Neck Tie-Dyed Drip Dress: Do While again not a universally flattering shape or color, this is a summer heat piece of cool. I'm loving the tie-dye gradient, and the empirish waist line gives it a safe-to-go-outside feel, even sans pantyhose.

POPSShort Sleeve Crocheted Dress - Do, on the Right Person This is the first actual dress I've seen made available to plus sizes, and it's in real plus - up to 3x. This look absolutely won't work for everyone, but for those with the right body shape, this has a sexy bohemian edge. From the looks of it, you WOULD need to wear a slip. But the slip doesn't have to be white, too.

POPSDip-Dyed Bubble Sleeve Top: Do, on the Right Person If you feel awkward about upper arm chubbiness, skip this one. I also think it would benefit from some kind of nip at the waist to give it a more countoured look. After all, fat people are fat AND they have shape. I am loving these gradient looks - it's just a fun way to work with creative color.

POPSRuffled Blouse: Don't Pencil Skirt: Do I think you've read my opinions on both of these pieces in other areas, but in case it needs repetition: putting ruffles over already large chested women makes them look like they're wearing an angry chicken around their necks. Plenty of larger women have great legs, and the pencil skirt is classic and awesome. 'nuff said.

POPSShort Sleeve Long Cardigan: Don't I'm guessing at least half of you are looking at this with temptation. And I admit, it looks great on the model. On a person with large curves, however, it will simply add an unflattering angle to your shape, and you will wind up looking frumpy.

POPSDon't: Crew Neck Button Front Long Cardigan Nothing ruins a perfectly good design than pockets just sewn on the front of it for the sake of pockets. It just takes good lines and ruins them. There are other issues with this design - the seam right above the bust, and the overbig buttons, along with 3/4 sleeves that are disproportionate in context with the whole long sweater look. This is the type of item I'd pick up in a thrift store for a good reconstruct - I'd remove the pockets, take out the sleeves, and replace the buttons with something shiny.
