Lola and Gigi Picks

Lola and Gigi is one of my favorite places to check out plus-size fashions when I am sick of looking through sites that are impossible to navigate, with scattered sizes everywhere. (Okay, I won’t tell you which ones, but I’m sure you’ve had similar experiences!)

This dress is so flattering to those of […]

Etsy Find: Let’s Turn the Record Over

This dress might not be custom-made, but this particular item is handmade and available in size XXL. While you’ve got to keep in mind that this dress doesn’t have natural stretch like other fabrics, it’s made from a handsomely shiny, sexy fabric that’s great for cocktail events. I think I want to hunt out a […]

Lacey Dresses for Spring

Hmmm, this JS Boutique Strapless Mesh Dress or the Lace Short Dress in Black/Ivory? They’re both around the same price, and extra fancy for when you need a little bit of a self-esteem booster and you might run into an ex-boyfriend. . . or something like that. ;) Lace lovelies are great to gaze […]

Blousy, ’70s-Inspired Madness

Alice & Trixie is my total new great love. They’ve got this outstanding collection of bright tops that all of the sudden have me thinking that yes… maybe I will go straight back to my kimono tops! These ones look too tasty to pass up, and the color combos are a little more unusual than […]

The “Hold You In” Dress

The “Hold You In” dress? Why isn’t this avilable over size 18? I do believe that this piece could be fairly indispensable for just about every plus-size woman out there. Apparently I have missed the boat on this essential item, and there are tons of bodysuits, tops, and jacket with the Hold You In name. […]

Saffrona.com: Purely Dreamy Pieces

Available up to size 28, these pieces from Saffrona have got some serious attitude. They’re eco-friendly, which has been hot for a while now and is finally starting to break into the plus-size industry. This Ruched Dress in Berry Soy is just right for a gorgeously full-figured girl who needs something to match her vivacious […]

Etsy Find: Polka, Anyone?

It’s not my first time totally stalking Missbrache’s Etsy shop. This dress is totally tea party, get-up-and-go, fun times at the ranch, and anything else that’s vaguely retro and ultra femme. You can find it in XL and XXL, and it’s beautifully designed to drape around your curves in an ultra-flattering way. Where’s my crinoline?!

Do You Dare to Wear Strapless Dresses?

Are you the type of girl to wear strapless dresses? I’ve been pretty intimidated by them in the past, but I’ve resolved to wear them this time around. Now that I’ve found the only strapless bra to ever fit me (Connie Elder’s “Marilyn” Strapless Bra simply will not budge), I suppose I’m better prepared than […]

I think that this White Mesh Wrap from Igigi is just perfect! If you’re already thinking about certain pieces you’ll need for all of the weddings coming up, consider this one for casual weddings or beach events. This piece is especially perfect for those of us who hate to wear an item once, because it […]
