I enjoy spending time in our stores as it gives us the opportunity to interact with customers and get their comments firsthand.

Saturday, while shopping for a new winter coat, I met Leanne from Ottawa, who had driven in to Montreal for a day of plus size shopping.  'Addition Elle is like a candy store' she said, as she perused the Fall and Holiday collections. 

Leanne travels extensively and
needs clothes that are easy to
coordinate and travel well.

Basic black is a staple in her
wardrobe, along with crinkle
blouses - she loves the fact
that these wash & drip dry -
even in the desert, she said. 
Very low maintenance! 


A confident plus size woman, Leanne was looking for color and updated fashion.  'I don't want to look like my grandmother' she remarked as we discussed how full figure women have moved from from head to toe black to bright, energetic color.  I was inspired by her choice of a red wool coat, and picked up a purple wool jacket for myself. 

Leanne took a few plus size dresses into the fit room.  The little black dress can move from daytime to evening with a simple change of accessories, great for travel.  She also tried Addition Elle's Vita, the new generation of pull on pants; so comfortable & ideal for those long transatlantic flights.  

I picked up a few sweaters, a cute little Joseph Ribkoff knit skirt and some great feedback from a delightful customer.  All in all a great morning!
