Evans fashion stores will stock Ditto's clothing range in sizes 14 to 32, reports the UK's Daily Mirror.
"She wants to show the world that big girls can have fun with fashion - and stick two fingers up to the size-zero brigade," says the deal-makers.
"Big girls should be proud of their bodies," Ditto says.
"I don't believe people should feel the need to take drastic action."
