you can tell this is made for the thyck women out there by the scrawny chicks wearing the clothes. that goes for you too, Kelly, and especially blondie up there.

having seen the site, and the sizes of those jeans, i’m not feeling that whole statement. i don’t see anyone BUT tall scrawny girls wearing those clothes anytime soon.

Sorry, B

I’m so excited,for Beyonce. She has accomplished much, and this just adds to her list. As the pictures above showed, from the Oprah show, the line has a mixture from the 3 generations, of women. The line is not created for only, anorexic women, and is not intended to, but has jeans for the “curvy” woman, which I think is great and sends a positive image to younger generations. Hopefully, this line will suceed, and be around for a long time. I can’t wait to buy a pair of jeans from them.
evon williams November 12th, 2005 at 8:32 pm

Joharra November 15th, 2005 at 8:47 am
I’ve checked out the site and it’s HOT! I really love the jeans! Beyonc� is so talented and she accomplished much, and now she even has her own clothing line! Beyonc� keep up the good work! I hope that the H.O.D. will come to the Netherlands too, because i wanna be wearing those jeans!!!

Nicol November 16th, 2005 at 4:50 am
I am highly anticipating the launch of this fashion line. I believe it is safe to say that the House of Dereon will indeed bring a breath of life to the fashion industry. I do hope that sizes will be available for the more bootylicious sistas (size 14/16)…if not add a little extra spandex for me!!

Ohh yes, and tall sizes would be excellent.
Shelia November 17th, 2005 at 10:07 pm
If you were LISTENING! to the show. The clothes go up to size 14, after that YOU SHOULDN’T BE WEARING MOST OF THOSE OUTFITS ANYWAY!
p.s. I love the designs. I can’t wait to see the whole collection. I am going to purchase that dress Beyonce’s mom had on.
Tami November 18th, 2005 at 3:20 pm
my jeans are in the mail as we speak..woohoo!! hope i’m not disappointed.
mi mi B November 18th, 2005 at 10:04 pm
im feelin the way that its not clothes for sticks but also for those who have hips!! I love Beyonce’s style and for her to now have her own bran this is truley a blessing not only for her but for those who watch her grow.
Kahleigha November 19th, 2005 at 12:12 am
i am lovin the way these clothes look hopefully they will go to a size sixteen cause thats where a playa is at!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for them to come out
Sienna November 19th, 2005 at 1:52 pm
You can buy the collection at www.FamousStyle.com They ship worldwide too!
Che' Harvey November 21st, 2005 at 10:00 pm
I saw the show on Oprah and I LOVE the line; however, a single parent such as myself would NEVER be able to afford even a pair of jeans at $98 a pair! What about the working force such as myself who would love to wear House of Dereon?
Thanks…
Grace November 23rd, 2005 at 9:54 pm
Well all I have to say is the line has alot of potential, but I thought that the prices would be more reasonable I mean its not couture or anything. Even the supreme diva herself Jlo’s line was a slim margin beneath that, and she even provided a JLO line and Sweetface for more extravagant buyers. I will not be spending my hard earned money on those overpriced korean made getups.
Amanda November 24th, 2005 at 9:44 pm
i was looking for a grad dress and saw one on oprah from this company, no matter what i do i can’t find a price. If you could please let me know how much the green dress that kelly Roland was wearing is.
Thank You amanda

Jamilah Lee November 26th, 2005 at 5:44 pm
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO PURCHASING SOME ITEMS FROM HOUSE OF DEREON. I HAVE A SMALL WAIST WITH A PROFOUND BACKSIDE AND THICK SHAPELY LEGS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE JEANS MAY NOT BE FOR ME, BUT THOSE DRESSES ARE GORGEOUS!!!
Shai November 26th, 2005 at 9:06 pm
I feel you girl. I’m only a size five and no jeans fit my back side or my leggs. Now thats a trip ait it. I’m trying to figure out what body shape people are making these jeans for.

Hellen Migwi November 29th, 2005 at 7:13 pm
I think is one of the best things Beyonce has ever accomplished. And for her mom to support her like this really shows us what a great mom she is. Good luck. Hellen Madison WI.
Tiea December 1st, 2005 at 7:05 pm
Im just wating for someone to come out with a coo plus size line where all the jeans aint $100 or more or that dont have to have that “plus size look”. nobody has that right now not BabyPhat-Jlo-Rocawear or none of those guys but the small girls clothes crack!thats no coo they think if they take a tee shirt an throw their logo on it it’ll sell “NOT!”. but thats because none of them are plus size were plus size, or care about anybody that is. the only reason they even have the bigger sizes (that usually run small anyway) to start with is to make money not because they care that somebody whose a size 18 likes to look good too. this line i can already tell is going to fall right into that catagory. but good luck on the new line any way!

corral December 3rd, 2005 at 3:11 am
The clothes are ok ,but very expensive
Nora January 1st, 2006 at 6:09 am
Congrats Beyonce and i don’t think that beyonce is trying to be like Aaliyah she is just trying to do her own accomplisments i love the clothing and i am looking forward to buying that dress kelly was wearing and those jeans they were hot!i also loved the perfume True Star i can’t wait to see what else she comes up with
Sand January 3rd, 2006 at 6:29 am
I’m very, very, very disappointed with the prices, but love the jeans! I’m a fulltime student/worker/personal trainer who sees the real curves in the gym. My class and I thought your jeans would be perfect for curvaceous, athletic,thick sistz that are “bootylicious”…but hell da prices TOO high! REAL sistz WANT REAL prices. We like being “ghetto rich,” but we are not stuck-on-stupid for $98 jeans.
JGirl January 3rd, 2006 at 5:24 pm
Why can’t they actually make clothes that look good on plus-size people. I dont believe that after size 14 you cant wear similar styles, why the hell not? Just use more darned material!!!
LB January 3rd, 2006 at 7:36 pm
Beyonce, you’re fab, but i agree with AKC above. The price of your line should match with the average budget of your market (Im guessing ages 16-25). Im sure that the average women between these ages cannot possibly afford clothing so expensive, and if they can, it’s a small %. I splurge every now and then on a good quality clothing - but I wouldn’t splurge on HOD because of all the negative comments. If you did your marketing homework, you’d see that more than half of your market probably can’t afford your line.
LB January 3rd, 2006 at 7:37 pm
I wonder what the sales have been since the line was introduced.
Charles Anderson January 6th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
I’m 16 years old and I really like our clothing line someday I hope to have my own one day I’m working on it right now trying to come with new ideas
Sheila Farrar January 18th, 2006 at 4:45 pm
i love house of dereon evening gowns i think that they all are gorgous and have there own unique sexiness involved i would love to purchase one for my self!
joanne January 20th, 2006 at 1:59 pm
All I have to say is that the jeans are wicked! Being a courvaeous woman myself, jeans are always the hardest clothing to find a good fit. It’s just a shame that B hasn’t launched in the UK yet but I’ll be in Florida in few months so I’ll be picking up a pair.
munira April 19th, 2006 at 2:38 am
I am in love with House Of Dereon. My prom is coming up real soon and I saw some of the clothes on the oprah show & i was hopin you could let me know how much the price is. I’m really set on getting the dress kelly rowland was wearing.(Also i would love to model the clothes holla.)
Kiesha September 5th, 2006 at 6:00 pm
I think that Bee’s line of clothes is hot, but I wish that Bee and more designers would extend their clothes out to more full figured people like myself. Look Baby Phat and Rocawear, they have extended their sizes to the full figured women of today and so should you!!! I know that it costs more to supply a plus size line, but believe me when I say this, BIG GIRLS WILL PAY TO BE FLY AS HELL!!! Much love to BEYONCE, ad to those of you that have not piked up b-day, yall need to cause it is HOTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Ibn Adam September 23rd, 2006 at 2:56 pm
To all of my brothers and sisters in the music and movie industry that have made a serious payday: Be careful how you invest your money when it comes to entering the fashion biz. Your first step into this industry should be licensing your name only - that is right - let someone who is a manufacturer of clothing or jewlery pay you to use your name. If your name is not strong enough to entice a licensing deal, then may be you should hold off until it is. You do not want to lauch a line to find it going direct to some huge discount operator.
Rachel September 26th, 2006 at 6:08 pm
This clothing must be targeted to individuals who make the same amount of $ as Beyonce because the prices are definitely too high for students or even middle class single mothers trying to purchase clothing for their daughters. Even in the Victoria Secrets catalog, the boots were the most expensive sold. I am extremely disappointed the clothing although cute is so unaffordable.
Cherla September 28th, 2006 at 3:02 am
I agree that the line has very nice jeans, but to pay $150 & $210 for one pair of jeans is outrageous. I am a college student and those prices just wouldn’t not go with my budget or many of my classmates either. Baby phat, jlo, and roca wear are all resonably priced. You can buy two or maybe 2 pair of their jeans for the price of 1 pair of House of Dereon. Again,love the jeans but the price just isn’t working.
nani October 8th, 2006 at 1:28 am
Yall give to much credit to beyonce her mama created those clothes and beyonce just put her name on it.
My Fashion Life » Blog Archive » House of Dereon launches to a mixed reaction October 9th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
[…] So Beyonce�s new line is causing quite a stir, some think its way too expensive while others can�t get enough. Either way, many are talking about the debut of the �House of Dereon�. […]
Care Bear October 9th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
Lovin your clothes but u should make bigger jeans cause i’m a thick gurl and i wear size 16 cause i have lots of hips and booty and sometimes the jeans only fit around me and not my waist i really love your clothing and youre doin a great job keep it up and brush dem haters off also your hairstyles are drop dead lolz keep doin ya thing (F)
Don’t hate when someone critize just strive to be better
Kimberly October 11th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
Dear Beyonc’e
I love your clothing line so much. Oh yeah, I saw you and your sister Solang’e in a VIBE magazine, modeling you and yuor mother’s fashion line. Your grandma surely did have an inspiration on you all. I say that because your fashion lin is very very pretty and has a lot of flavor to it. So work yo stuff and I “CONGRATULATE” you on your success.
I will make sure to buy a pair of your jeans in the future!!!!!!!!
-KIM
CLEA October 20th, 2006 at 4:41 pm

brittany October 27th, 2006 at 9:27 pm
all yall be trippin…this is not a site to be banging on people..there is no need for that…so get over it and move on
tori November 1st, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Being a bootylicious chick myself i can appreciate a pair of good jeans that hug my body. These fit the bill, and are pretty snug against my waist (no gapping). But why did her price jump from inception to delivery? Meaning, they were cheaper when she first dropped her line :/ I am also not a fan of the material or how “cheap” they look/feel in person. I own quite a many pair of premium denim jeans and these are not anywhere near the quality of the other brands out there.
All I can say is back to the drawing board and come back stronger and better. I know you can do it Bey. You’ve come out on top with everything else.

Beyonce I love your line of clothes. Especially the coats because winter is my favorite season, but I am a 17 year old with out a job. I am about to start college and I want to look good. I wish I could afford your line but it is really to expensive. Please consider all your fans! We love you and we would like for you to make it easier to follow in the footsteps of the person we look up to. B please lower your prices!
nakaita February 27th, 2007 at 12:53 am
Hi I just wanted to ask Mrs. Tina Knowles if she designs dresses for her fans. My prom is coming up on June 6 2007 and I was wondering if she could make a dress for me. Thank You sorry if I sound shady but I am very sincere about this.
Ltjnk317 March 11th, 2007 at 8:19 am
I would just like to say that I love the H.O.D. collection.. but very disappointed with the sizes!!
Bottoms only go up too 13/14.. so I can only buy tops and nothing to match bottom wise!!! You really should consider extending sizes at least to 15/16.. I wonder what size B wears???
Ben Adam March 12th, 2007 at 9:21 am
High fashion prices you out of the market that would really support you. Hip fashion for the 13 to 25 age range is your niche. It takes years to build a High Fashion customer base that can sustain a line. You are young build your young market. I know you love Mom but go for your own vision.
ciara March 17th, 2007 at 2:39 am
i think the clothing should stop at an size 18 because some size 18 women do not look that big and i am beyonce’s biggest and i wear a 16 and i’m very upset that i have to loose wieght just to fit in my idol’s clothes
jennifer March 20th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Ciara, you’re an idiot. You need a reality check sweetie.

Beyonce's #1 Fan April 4th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
by the way, if u think that the prices are too expensive, then there is always a sale part, they arent expensive there,
There were beautiful capris for only 12pounds
RoseMarie April 12th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
Beyonce’s Dereon fashion is the best! I’m so glad she came out with jeans for females with hips. Plus, the jeans are really cute and her baby doll dresses are adorable! Her sweaters are nice, especially the colorful ones and her swim wears are mad sexy. Beyonce truly got style.
ciara April 20th, 2007 at 1:03 am
shut-up jenniferu don’t me o.k. hunny and i will still look betta in her clothes than u ha ha haaaaaa!!!!

Felicia May 21st, 2007 at 9:06 pm
Well I would like to say that I do luv the designs of the clothing HOWEVER, can a sista get a break. Cause everytime I try to get designer clothing they never cater to women with bodies like mine. I have alot of junk in my trunk and im tall so im at a big disadvantage times 2. I need B to step up the game and cater to some size 16 inseam 34 for me. I will even give up my measurements for items of this line. And I have a question: Do they give an option for custom made clothing? I just cant win for losing on the clothing tip and even the shoes I get kicked around on. LOL somebody let me know something before I start tearing sheets apart and dress like they did in biblical days, dont have to worry if it will fit around my buttocks then, lol.

Truly,

Felicia for Chicago, IL
nickeya washington July 11th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Dear mrs. Tina Knowles, the clothing line that you’ve designed in the very essence of your daughter is the bomb, and I just wanted to know if you and “B” had a soft spot for the big girls? I know we use alot more fabric but, it would surly be appreciated if you’d concider making your bomb clothing line in a size 20. I promise ill wear it well and if I dont you can take it back.(smile)no but seriously your designs are hot please concider making them in pluss sizes.
sincerly
a big fan of beoncye’s, whos jealous of all the skinny girls getting to wear all the good stuff.(smile) stay blessed
Shannon July 18th, 2007 at 7:04 am

Lady J July 23rd, 2007 at 8:01 pm
I feel as though these cloths should be made for all types of women. I would think beyonce and her family would make a clothing line for all her fans, with all different body types, and understand everyone is not a sice 6 and -. Iam very disappointed in them.So I believe they should and make the same exact cloths for plus size girls as well, and I mean the same exact, a little more material is not going to hurt.

do what u do, just a little better.

Just discovered a complete list of all marked down products at Amazon, sorted by category
and % off, ranging from 50% off to 90% off (thanks Sonja for the effort).

Actually I never thought Amazon would have articles with 90% off, but only in the category
Electronics there are more than 3000 of them - look for yourself, the list is on

Amazon, like Britain’s “Jeanie”).
