<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I happened across a few articles on Melbourne Spring Fashion week today. Firstly I was thrilled to see that Plus-sized models had taken to the catwalk all in different shapes and sizes, different looks and full of confidence.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>How refreshing to see such diversity celebrated within the fashion world and I applaud all those involved. But... and this is quite a big 'but'. After looking through various collections offered up to the plus size market, I can't help but see one common theme.... Shapelessness. </b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Now, I am all for not wearing skimpy, tight fitting clothes with every lump and bump on show, but why just provide a glorified potato sack?

Don't get me wrong there are a hell of a lot of fabulous ranges out there, just nothing that I feel I could wear. I find that the majority of items have quite high / round necks, which as you busty ladies will know generally make you look a lot bigger than you actually are. The other 'on trend' items are generally shapeless chiffon tunics or dresses, which again are no good for anyone with curves. Unless something has some shape to it I feel like I look about 6 months pregnant. There is either no shape or it has a dropped waist. Instead of pulling you in at at your smallest part, its showing off your largest!</b></span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't know how many of you have noticed (if any) that I have not blogged for a while. I'm so so sorry. Not only have things been a little busy to say the least, when I do finally catch five minutes I seem to get writers block. Its like there is nothing even remotely interesting going on in my tiny little mind.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It doesn't help that as I'm working for what seems like a million hours a week, I don't seem to be able to keep as up to date as I'd like with the goings on in the fashion world. Note to self: make more of an effort!!</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the plus side I had a fabulous V Festival!! I took sooo many outfits as I had the luxury of poshing it up in my friends campervan. Although due to the copious amounts of vodka and sambucca I didn't really get a chance to do the full fashion parade thing lol.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for now I will leave you with a few festival pics and I promise to make more of an effort to post more often.</span></b><br />

Things have been a little bit hectic and I've been rapidly running out of hours in the day, which I'm sure you can appreciate. Good news though.... I am now an official <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> blog partner and as such will be giving you all of their latest up to the minute news, collections and promotions! I will also be writing a guest blog on their website shortly so look out for that.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>As I have recently joined the <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> blogger family they have shared some of their new COLLECTION range with me. The COLLECTION range will be available from the start of May, and quite frankly I cannot wait. Looking through some of the images it looks like <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> have really stepped up their game with this range. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Inspired by the latest catwalk trends the COLECTION range also takes direction from this season's colours, key prints and shapes that really work to flatter a curvalicious silhouette. I am told that this is not just a 'one off' collection and they are already planning a new one for the Autumn. If this one is anything to go by then we are in for a real treat. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0f243e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Take a look at some of the COLLECTION range items below.</b></span><br />

I also love the white cut out wedges, the chiffon top, the brown trousers................ come to think of it, I don't think there is one item I've seen of this collection that I dislike. </b></span><br />

Although I felt a little nervous to be meeting all of these fabulous women I was soon at ease, like I'd known them my whole life. The event was organised by the simply wonderful Lauren (<a href="http://www.pocketrocketfashion.com/">Pocket Rocket Fashion)</a>. Whom I must say did an absolutely tremendous job, she's a little star. As I didn't really know anyone (although I knew I wouldn't mistake <a href="http://messycarla.blogspot.com/">Carla</a> and that fabulous hair!), I travelled down with my friend Polly, who is now a semi converted fashionista....... well I'm trying convert her anyway ;-)</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Firstly we met up at the <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> flagship store in Marble Arch for a day of shopping in Oxford street, where I first met the totally delightful <a href="http://thesegirlsturnheads.blogspot.com/">Anika</a>, and I knew instantly we were of like minds and went on to have a ball for the rest of the day / evening. I must say all of you ladies are a bad influence on me. As soon as I went downstairs in <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> I spotted a 'must have' dress. Although I promised myself I wouldn't go mad spending lots of pennies, it was simply divine. So I allowed myself to try it on at least...... though when there are numerous other fashionista types telling you how fabulous you look in it (<a href="http://www.pocketrocketfashion.com/">Lauren</a>, <a href="http://www.pretty-in-plus.com/">Beth</a> and <a href="http://thesegirlsturnheads.blogspot.com/">Amy</a>), its kind of hard NOT to buy it..... so I did :-)</b></span><br />

New Cycle? Outfits 3 and 4<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi guys, really sorry for the delay in posting the the outfits from Friday and Saturday. Although this was down to circumstances beyond my control. I've got it done in the end though, and will catch up..... eventually. So this will be a really short post ;-)</span></b><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This first outfit is another workwear one. The dress I bought in the new year sale from <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.co.uk/">Dorothy Perkins</a> and I've used some old accessories to jazz it up a bit. What do you think?</span></b><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second outfit I wore for a girly night out on Saturday night. It was last minute thing so I recycled this waistcoat style dress from <a href="http://www.asos.com/">ASOS</a> circa 2008. I teamed it with some old jewellery from <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> and I bought this fab pair of heels from <a href="http://www.newlook.co.uk/">New Look</a> to go with it. To be honest, I'd forgotten I'd even got this dress... its amazing what you find in your wardrobes. ;-)</span></b><br />

New Cycle? Outfit 2 -Thursday<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Well here is workwear outfit number two. Very plain, but classic I'd say. This one is more new cycle than recycle. The top I bought from <a href="http://www.primark.co.uk/">Primark</a> over the Christmas period. I love this top because its smart without being stuffy, I like the fact its chiffon and so its lightweight and ideal for office workers. I'm not sure whether you can tell from the pictures but its also double hemmed and so its quite floaty, the beaded cuffs are lush too. The trousers were from <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/">Evans</a> are are the usual plainish black work trouser. Although I do love the fact that they have a slight bit of elasticated sides, so there is no discomfort from sitting at a desk all day. My shoes were also from the New Year sales, from <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.co.uk/">Dorothy Perkins</a>. Last but not least my fabulous headband is also from <a href="http://www.primark.co.uk/">Primark</a>. I adore the combination of pearl with feathers (I have a bit of a thing for headbands at the moment). Have a look at see what you think?</b></span><br />

New Cycle?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>As you may or may not know I have just recently (2 weeks ago), started back to work after being on maternity leave for 9 months. Believe me that on its own is a big enough shock to the system without the added hassle of finding clothes to wear for work, bearing in mind my clothes prior this gap were maternity clothes. </b></span><br />

Therefore I decided to compromise, I bought couple of new items and then looked through the boxes and boxes of clothes I have stashed around the house. I was amazed to see just how many items I have which could still be classed as being 'in fashion'. This then inspired me to try and produce a post a day showing a different outfit I have recycled or bought new or mixed and matched. So here's the first one.. please excuse the picture quality as it was 6am this morning and my mum is only tiny so struggled to get a full length photo as I am practically giant like to her.

Hopefully things should be getting back on track now. So in trying to get 'back on track' I have been thinking of a worthy subject to write about. Then it dawned on me. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I have been single now for 4 years and I still haven't got the hang of this dating malarkey. So I thought I would share my dating dramas (however embarrassing they may be), and see if any of you Curvalicious beauties feel the same? </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I think dating is a fairly new concept in the UK which is hard enough in itself, but I think dating for plus sizes can be even harder. Not necessarily because people don't find us attractive, its unbelievable how many men actually prefer plus size ladies. I think it tends to be more of an insecurity issue. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I don't know about you guys, but I find it extremely difficult to take a compliment. Don't get me wrong, everyone loves a compliment, and lots of them. But no matter how hard I try, I can't just accept one. I always have to return with a sarcastic comment or quip like 'are you sure you don't wear glasses??' or 'that will be the alcohol talking'. Its like dating tourettes..... I just can't help myself. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I always seem to think, that if someone is interested in me, there must be an ulterior motive i.e they are only after a one night stand, they are trying to use me for regular no strings sex. I always tend to think they are lying about their marital status. I must admit that in the past four years, the majority of men I have met have fallen in to one if not all of those categories. So I then start to question myself, 'is it me? Am I doing something wrong which attracts this particular calibre of man? Is it because of my size? Are all men now like this? If so, then it looks like I am going to be single for the rest of my life ;-)</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Don't get me wrong I am not deliberately putting myself out there desperate to find a someone. I'm not one of these needy women who feel like they have to be in a relationship to feel complete, although the company would be nice once in a while lol. If I find someone then fair enough, if I don't then fair enough too. So who knows? I may be single for another 4 months or another 4 yrs.... either way I'll be ok with it. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Are you currently single?? How do you find dating?? Do you have all the same feelings as me?? I'd love to hear all about it, please get in touch, if only to confirm that I am not the only one lol.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Lots of love</b></span><br />

Real Looks' segment for Curvalicious Fashion. Unfortunately things did not run as smoothly as I would have liked due to the never ending illnesses I have had for the past month or so, but I got there in the end. For this first edition the lovely people at <a href="http://www.newlook.co.uk/">New Look</a> gave us some of their Inspire range to use in the shoot. Seeing as though I have been struck down with every bug / virus known to man, my friend Aimi went and picked the items for me (which was awfully kind of her).</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The whole idea of this segment is to see what items of clothing look like on 'real' plus size women. Therefore I gathered a few volunteers (including) myself to model the wares for you. </b></span><br />

Stress time??<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Well its official, Christmas is here..... I've seen the coca cola advert on TV!! So its time for fun and frolics, lots of parties / nights out and filling your face with lots and lots of things so very wrong but so very right all at the same time.</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Although, with these fabulous reasons to have a smile on your face, getting outfits for all of these parties can be a stressful time, especially for us curvalicious beauties.</b></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>We all want to look fabulous, especially at Xmas. If you are anything like me you also have to have a 'Xmas day outfit', I really don't know why, as I only veg out in front of the TV after eating possibly the biggest dinner ever, but I need one all the same. Every year I plan shopping trips with my friends to find these 'oh so special' outfits. Every year I come back with nothing and every year I stress myself out over it.</b></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>I need fabulous outfits for those numerous works nights out (mine and other peoples), I need something for those nights where I'm out with my friends, Xmas day........... and don't even get me started on New Year! God forbid I would wear the same outfit for any of these occasions, unless of course I'm in a different town or city than previously worn ;-)</b></span></span><br />

</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>There are lots of fantastic online offers around at this time of year for Plus Size fashion, and some gorgeous clothes too, but just once I would love to be able to go shopping for an outfit and be able to try it on to see what it looks like before I spend my hard earned cash. I can't speak for the major cities in the UK, but here in Stoke we have hardly any high street retailers who cater for the plus sizes. There is the token Evans Clothing shop, New Look have their Inspire range and that is about it really. To be fair I never really go into Evans as I don't feel there is anything in there to suit me and my style. I feel its is all a bit too 'old' for me. As for the Inspire range, unless you like living in jeans and tshirts there's nothing really in there for you. Like I said it could be different in stores in the larger cities, but not everyone lives in the big smoke.</b></span></span><br />

There needs to be more 'affordable' plus size fashion out on the high street for us ladies who like to shop. In the meantime I'll have to look for my fabulous Xmas outfits online. If you have any suggestions of high street shops selling affordable, fashionable clothing please let me know.</b></span></span><br />

The information I have found I feel to be quite disturbing.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Firstly the UK is sadly lagging way behind in the curvy fashion stakes. In the UK we struggle to find any decent stores (high street or online) in which we can get current 'on trend' fashions. There are the few obvious well advertised ones like </strong></span><a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Simply Be</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> or </strong></span><a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Evans</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> for example, but we end up paying well over and above the 'normal' sized person. In the states they have a ridiculous amount of places you can get really fabulous, great value clothing from and numerous sites giving advice to curvier women who love fashion and want to look great, </strong></span><a href="http://www.madisonplus.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Madison Plus</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> being one of them.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Almost a quarter of women in the UK or around 6.2million now wear a size 18 or above, with the average dress size being a size 16. Therefore I think you will agree that it is preposterous that so called plus size model agencies etc class a size 12 as 'plus sized'. Now, I think that no one can argue the fact that this is both disgusting and irresponsible on behalf of both the model agencies and the fashion industry in general.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>How can they justify telling young girls / women that they are plus sized if they are a size 12?? They wouldn't even have curves..... well not real ones anyway. It is ever likely that these young girls are running around with eating disorders trying to 'make it' in the fashion industry. Apparently, according to </strong></span><a href="http://www.modelsconnect.net/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Models Connect</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> as a plus size model you will advertise clothes, accessories and products for the larger woman. Therefore, it is necessary that you represent this look, so must be at least a UK size 12 to qualify. Ideally you will be a UK dress size 12, 14 or 16. Although, sizes 10 and 18/20 are also used, it is far less common..... also you must be 'toned' and your figure should be well balanced and you should not appear top or bottom heavy....... Come on guys!!! Seriously! Do your research, check you market!</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>There is also a 'plus size' beauty pageant run in the UK called </strong></span><a href="http://www.misscurvy.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Miss Curvy UK</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> in which applicants have to be a size 12 or above to enter, I find this truly amazing. I understand that retailers / designers want their clothing to look appealing, however there are a hell of a lot of stunningly beautiful very curvy women out there, who could quite easily model their clothes and do a damned good job of selling them. I know that personally I would rather see what a garment looks like on a woman who is the same shape as me, than what it looks like on a size 12 model, even the thought of it is ridiculous.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>The retailers and fashion industry on the whole in the UK needs to first of all accommodate to the majority market, which in this case is the 'plus size'. They also need to class the plus sizes appropriately, and lastly they need to use more curvier models without the perfect hourglass figures. We want to see REAL models, wearing REAL plus size 'on trend' clothes. Hopefully with enough blogging and pressure by us normal 'plus size' women, things will change............... and lets hope its soon.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Lots of Love</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>xxx</strong></span>DonnaSturgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243263019456935056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540386877828190242.post-19580543820337433142010-10-11T13:41:00.000-07:002010-10-11T13:41:45.235-07:00Winter Warmers<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don’t know about you but I dread Winter and everything about it (apart from receiving lots of Xmas pressies that is). I hate the weather and I especially hate trying to find decent clothes to wear. I really struggle trying to find clothes in I feel good in, and not feel really frumpy. I see all my slimmer friends looking fabulous in their thick knit products and feel so very jealous that I couldn’t get away with wearing the same stuff.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Winter coats are also a huge issue for me, well coats from any season pose a problem really, but Winter coats especially. They are very thick and chunky, I suppose they have to be they’re Winter coats. This is no good for us curvier ladies as they tend to show and accentuate every lump and bump visible to the human eye…. Or even worse.. A camera!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are ways around the Winter fashion look though so do not despair it is not all doom and gloom. Military style is still pretty much on trend at the moment. Although try and steer clear of double breasted coats / jackets as this will probably emphasise everything you are trying to conceal. It doesn’t always work this way for everyone, but for most curvy women it does.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As an alternative to a coat, you could try a long line, flowing cardigan of some sort. Preferably with a waterfall style front, this design tends to make you look a lot slimmer than you are and is very flattering. This style is what I tend to choose a lot of the time as I don’t particularly feel comfortable in a coat. You can get these types of cardigans in all sorts or thicknesses so can be worn in the height of winter.</span></span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are lots of thinner, more stylish knits on the market too so you don’t have to feel frumpy and ‘old’. Nice, thin soft knit patterned dresses or tunics are a fabulous investment for the Winter. Team them with leggings or jeggings, some fabulous boots, a long line cardigan, accessorise to the hills, and you’ll be on to a Winner!!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When picking accessories this season its all about the luxury materials, so no woollen gloves and scarves. Think leather, velvet, suede or lace gloves. Anything which makes a statement and makes you look and feel fabulous!!!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So check regularly for my choice picks this season on the featured items page :-)</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

(By skinny minnies I mean anyone up to a size 14 lol) Are you sick of being referred to as ‘plus size’ or a ‘larger lady’?? Do you wish there was somewhere to look for fashion inspiration?? If so then this is the blog for you.<br />
<br />
Curvaceous Fashion will aim to search the best of the high street and find fashion which will not break the bank and will most definitely NOT make you look 10 sizes bigger than you actually are. With ‘real’ people modelling these clothes for you, to show you what they really look like when worn. The problems us curvaceous women find is that most affordable fashion is only for the smaller sizes, and the so called fashion for us voluptuous girls is either big and baggy or old fashioned. It is also well overpriced. I don’t know about you but I’m 30, and a young 30 at that. I love going out with my girlfriends, I still love clubbing and going to music festivals and all the fun stuff.<br />
<br />
I know when I’ve been looking for attire to wear to these events its been a struggle. All the things I would love to wear I can’t because ‘I know my limits‘. I know that I would look ridiculous is most of the items advertised as the latest ‘on trend’ fashion. I refuse to wear baggy clothes which just hang, as they either make me look pregnant or 10 sizes bigger than I actually am. Even the places which say they sell ‘plus sizes’ aren’t actually modelled by real plus size people. Curvalicious Fashion will aim to show you how the clothes really look when they’re on real women<br />
I also get confused by all this ‘pear shape’, ‘apple shape’ malarkey. I think sometimes I can look both, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. There are just a few simple rules which I abide by, people may not agree with them, but I find they work for me.</span><br />
<span lang="EN"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule 1: Don’t wear anything that just hangs. Especially if you have a large bust, it will just make you look pregnant or larger than you actually are. If you want to wear something which hangs, wear a belt to pull you in at your smallest part.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule 2: If you have a larger bust, do not wear anything with a high neck I.e. a polo neck, this again will make you look a lot bigger than you are in reality.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule 3: Don’t wear anything which is clingy I.e bodycon style dresses / tunics. I know some of you may feel ok wearing these, which is fine if you’re happy. Me on the other hand, I hate anything which will enhance my flabby tubby, I’d rather draw attention to something else ;-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule 4: Don’t wear trousers / skirts / jeans which are too tight around the midriff, if you need to go up a size, then go up a size. You may feel crappy for doing it but you will probably also look slimmer for doing it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rule 5: Stay away from big bold stripes, no matter what direction they are going in. I have always felt HUGE when wearing stripes, it doesn’t matter whether they are horizontal or vertical. Pinstripes are not too bad, but big bold ones.. HELL NO!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">These are my simple rules in which I stick by, and most of the time I’m told I carry it off quite well (without wanting to sounding arrogant). The most important thing is to ’KNOW YOUR LIMITS’, you can’t very well walk around in a tight little mini skirt if you have chunky thighs….. Well you could, but you wouldn’t look good ;-) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">So in future blogs look out for photos, features and where to buy the latest fab fashions for us curvier ladies!!</span><br />
