Plus Size Fashions

Confronted by a parade of slender celebrities who march nightly into our living rooms on TV, bombarded with glossy images of size 2 models selling everything from toothpaste to disposable diapers, it's easy to see why overweight Americans feel like society's outcasts. But some folks are beginning to fight back and recapture their self-esteem.

CBS This Morning's week-long series Living Large celebrates those who have made peace with their imperfect bodies, and offers guidance for those who are tired of the guilt and self-deprecation that often comes with being overweight. Part three is a fashion show.

What's the fashionable plus-size woman wearing this spring? Michele Weston is the fashion and style director of Mode Magazine and she has the latest spring and summer looks from Saks Fifth Avenue's Salon Z.
