Figure Magazine Review Summary

Figure Magazine is a magazine designed for the plus size women with fashion tips that are used on full sized models with content that appears to “gravitate towards acceptance and happiness at any size/weight.” This magazine for the full figured woman also include coupons for shopping at stores like Fashion Bug, Catherines and Lane Bryant, allowing women to save, and get the magazine for free with these savings. Buggheart feels that there are mixed messages though, with articles on accepting yourself no matter what your size but then full page ads for Weight Watchers and other diet products. “I don't like that contradiction but the bottom line is that the content is not meaty or interesting enough to tempt me to buy it again or to subscribe. Roserighter says, “But the message behind the magazine isn't weight loss; it is about loving who you are at the size you are. It includes fashion tips, current trends and health advice.” No matter what, whether you like the articles or not, all reviewers agree, you may want to pick this magazine up for the coupon savings alone.

I picked up a copy of Figure Magazine at Fashion Bug (my local plus size clothing store) and would not have even thought to buy it, except the sales women told me about the money saving coupons inside that I could use instantly to save on my purchase. Essentially, the magazine was free and I saved money...

This mag for plus size women is not meaty enough.

I have only read two issues of Figure magazine but I wasn't too crazy about it. Like others, I got my issue of Figure at Fashion Bug while shopping for clothes. The cashier indicated that the magazine had a coupon inside so if I bought the magazine for around $3 and used the coupon inside I'd basically...

This is a fun quick read. Great fashions for plus sizes who aren't don't dare for the standard "matronly" styles. Also great coupons in each issue! The only downside is that it features clothing from only a few stores. The articles emphasize health rather than weight loss and emphasize being happy with your life. A good addition to your magazine stash!
