Oct. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Christmas in October? Plus-size Fashionista Sherrie Keys says October is the perfect time to purchase that elusive holiday outfit. 'There's nothing worse for a plus-size consumer than driving from store to store in the dead of winter in search of that elusive holiday outfit.' says Keys.

Keys has researched the websites of top-tier online retailers to compile a list of outfits perfect for holiday festivities.

'This is not an exhaustive list.' says Keys. 'This is just a early shopping alert to the holiday fashions available this season. Some selections are appropriate for an intimate holiday dinner at home. Others are perfect for semi-formal company parties.'

Keys states that the criteria for her holiday wish list was not only retailer reputation and on-time shipping record but also style, comfort, appropriateness to the holiday theme and affordability. 'I specifically sought out holiday styles in an affordable price range. I found several gorgeous holiday dresses for less than $100 including shipping. The highest price point on my list is a full-length black beaded gown for $209.95. I hope plus-size consumers will be pleased with the selections and that retailers will unveil more choices over the coming weeks.'
