    Help!!! Looking for Large Womens Frames

    Can anyone suggest a vendor who carries women's frames in 58 or 60 eyesizes? There must be a company that has a line of frames for plus size women. I appreciate any help.

    Good Luck It can be challenging to find a quality collection incorporating feminine styling, in an elegant product, and in larger sizes. I'm waiting for Kris Jenner, to broker a deal between Lux and Caitlyn Jenner and produce a line of eyewear.

    Clearvision has some larger frames in the Ellen Tracy and BCBG lines, if I recall correctly. They are ladies' XL frames, but they are tactfully called something other than "XL." I can't remember what.

    You may wish to try using an ophthalmic sunglass frame for this. The issue you're going to have is finding any ladies' frame with temples longer than 135. That's the real hard find.

    Seiko and A&A optical have some large sizes for women.

    Good luck

    Sorry, I didn't mean to make sport of large women's frames. Large women's sizes in all types of attire is an ongoing problem. Just ask Caitlyn Marie Jenner.

    Fatheadz has a woman's line called Dea. Nice looking, metals and plastics.
