There are some really exciting things happening with our favorite fetishy material of late. Here’s a quick round-up of things that caught 3XL’s and my attention this week:

Let’s start with some very welcome news for rubberists of larger dimensions. We received a press release for Honour Latex introducing their new range called Real Women, Real Sexy, which features some of their most popular pvc, leather and latex creations in plus sizes (up to UK size 26/Euro 50 for some styles!).

I checked out the catalog photos and I really enjoyed the photos of pretty plus sized women who seemed confident of their beauty and sexiness. Let’s hope that Honour gains lots of good customers, and in time influences other latex manufacturers to invest in giving a little thought and effort to making well fitting and flattering off the rack styles for larger women.

Have I posted about Very Latex, an Australian latex clothing company yet? I’d read nice things about them from an IAR regular, who spoke highly of their fine communication, quality work and fair prices, and after checking out their site, I came away quite impressed.

The site is very easy to navigate, and it provides very precise information about shipping costs, as well as lead times on each item, which is custom made to measure for every customer. There are lots of photos and angles of each style in their shop, which really helps when trying to decide if a particular outfit is right. I’d classify their styles as Heavy Rubber meets Rave, which means there are lots of very colorful hooded creations, like this Love Doll here.

Marquis has added some breathtaking new designs to their site, featuring a new printed lace pattern, which I thought was gorgeous. They’ve also done a smashingly feminine new dress in Radical Rubber’s Electric Lilac, Rachel, which I wish I’d dreamed up before they did!

And finally, South Florida seems to have another higher end latex option now, with Latex Storm, whose designs are made to their customers’ specifications and measurements.

The site is in its infancy, but there are some sample photos of the kind of work they do, which I’m going to say will appeal to fit, sexy fetishists, judging by what I’ve seen so far. The craftsmanship looks solid, and the patterns look expertly drafted and fitted. Take a look–with the US economy in such tatters, it might be nice to support new talent in these rough times!
