Plus Size Halloween Costumes

2008-10-10T06:57:00.000-07:00

So for your viewing pleasure here are some more fabulous Plus Size Halloween Costumes, if you are looking for inspiration then you will find that there are many plus size costumes for you to choose from. When choosing your costume remember to think about those parts of your body that you want to show off and those that you don't. Even if you want to have a sexy costume you don't have to go for the obvious short hemlines. Instead choose a costume that is long but has slits to show off your legs. Perhaps you have an ample bosom that you are proud of, then make the most of it with a costume that has a bodice.

Perhaps you want to go for something a little more gothic, at the websites listed below you will find plus size Gothic Vampiress, plus size witches costumes, evil queens and frankenstein's brides.

If you are looking for fun character costumes then you can't go wrong with TV and Film characters such as I Love Lucy, Hairspray Tracy Turnblad or Edna Turnblad, Warrior Princesses even Batgirl, Supergirl and Wilma from the Flintstones are available as womens size plus costumes.

If you don't want to go the whole hog with a costume then you can always just wear a wig or cape, so that you look like you are entering into the spirit of Halloween, pun intended!

Plus Size Formal Wear - Dramatic Purple

2008-09-18T06:54:00.000-07:00

Many women seem to struggle to find good quality plus size formal wear, that isn't just black, or just doesn't have the wow factor. So I have put together a look for a formal occasion, sticking to the current color trend of purple and plum, but with added glamour and a little bling. Infact I like this look so much I may just treat myself to the dress, so that I can wear it to our anniversary dinner next month. I adore the wrap style dress, very flattering to plus size womens shapes, sexy without being over the top, the velvet is just so sumptuous and the silk belt adds a touch of luxury. Also available in Emerald and Black. Available from Igigi The clutch and shoes are from Shoes.com
The plus size cocktail dress is available in up to a size 32 and the shoes are available in sizes up to a 10 and in a wide fitting too. Personally I think it's a great outfit for all those festive social occasions and will take you right through from Thanksgiving to Valentines next year!

Plus Size Homecoming Dresses

2008-09-09T07:27:00.001-07:00

It can be really dificult to choose a dress for homecoming when you are a girl with curves. Many teenage style dresses show a lot of flesh like legs and upper arms that bigger girls are not always comfortable with. However there are ways that you can wear these style of dresses by choosing your accessories carefully. Think about color too, you probably want to wear something that is bright but make sure that it suits your skin tone. Lime greens, bright pinks and blues will suit darker skin tones whilst reds and purples will look good on all color skins.

Don't forget you can add a shrug, bolero or wrap to hide upper arms, and who says you have to have bare legs. Why not wear colored pantyhose, or choose fishnet tights.

Go check out these plus size dresses perfect for Homecoming at Torrid.com

Plus Size Lingerie...I think I'm an addict!

2008-08-10T06:31:00.000-07:00

So I guess you all may have noticed that I love pretty lingerie, hey no reason why curvy chicks can't look pretty and sexy all at the same time. I have a fairly huge lingerie collection, no pun intended, and that was one of the reasons that I created my Squidoo Lenses Plus Size Corsets and Plus Size Lingerie. I just new that there had to be other big girls out there who like me loved their sexy and cute lingerie as much as I did.

Anyway, it has been my wedding anniversary this weekend, so of course that's a great reason to purchase some fabulous new plus size lingerie, a girl can never have too much silk, satin and ruffles in their lingerie drawer, or in my case shelves and drawers!

I am really in to pattern and color at the moment, so here are my recent purchases.
I adore the pucci print silk sleep shirt. I feel that it has got a real designer vibe going on.

Silk Sleep Shirt in Plus Size

And this bustier has a real tropical vacation style. Summer is here to stay as far as my lingerie is concerned. Reminds me of our honeymoon in the Caribbean.

Polka Dot & Stripe Bustier

I also got two cute lacy Empreinte bras from BiggerBras.com

Dh is very pleased with my purchases, and so am I! I have told him that I will soon need a whole dresser just for my lingerie!

Denim Plus Size

2008-07-28T12:00:00.000-07:00

So denim jeans can be a curvy girl's best friend. But where can you find great plus size jeans and how do you know what cut and style suits you best. Personally I own at least 7 pairs of jeans of various styles from skinny leg to capri, to my current favorites 70's style flares. Good fitting jeans can work as well as control panties on flattening a tum and smoothing lumps and bumps, avoid the dreaded muffin top by wearing tops that aren't too tightly fitted or invest in a tummy smoothing camisole or waist cincher.

Denim Plus Size Dos and Don'ts

If you wear a denim mini skirt then counterbalance the hemline by wearing it with flats or a low heel. Don't wear high heels as it will make the mini even mini-er, if you insist on wearing heels then go for a wedge rather than stiletto heel. You want to look classy not trashy!

Do wear fitted denim pencil skirts. They're just as sexy as a miniskirt and will flatter and accentuate your curves but in a stylish and sophisticated way.

Do find a style and fit of jeans that works for you and stick with it, don't be dicatated to by the latest denim trend. A good pair of jeans can be updated constantly with a trendy top or jacket.

Don't EVER wear tight white denim. It's not even flattering on skinny girls.

Do wear white denim in a flattering fit with a darker top and colorful accesories, this will make your outfit POP!

Don't forget that, despite what many believe, denim does not go with everything. I'm thinking denim, studs and lace...Nooooooo!

Do wear a fitted jacket or blazer with your favorite pair of jeans. If you have curves then go for a jacket with one button at the waist, or if you are apple shaped choose a boxy jacket. This will give you a real pulled together look.

What to wear for a wedding if you are a plus size woman

2008-07-24T05:10:00.000-07:00

So this morning I received an invitation to an old college friend's wedding. It's her 2nd marriage so she has decided on a fairly informal affair. The question is what do I wear? I've lost a little weight and have been working on toning my upper arms so I don't mind showing off a little flesh. I'm sure many of you are attending weddings or semi formal affairs this summer, maybe a garden party, barbecue and drinks with friends, or an outdoor concert and want to wear a fabulous dress with cute accessories. So here are some ideas for all you plus size girlies who want to dress up a little this summer.

Plus Size Clothing Trends Ethnic Style

2008-06-19T06:34:00.000-07:00

One of the huge style trends for the Spring Summer season is tribal prints.
The spring fashion runways were a riot of color and prints, from warm earthy tones to ethnic to tribal. For example Oscar de la Renta had many traditional kente style fabrics in his designs, whilst Christian Lacroix added drama with beads and feathers.

Strong prints work well on a large curvy frame. The prints are often over sized and strong, and look best when worn as a simple shaped item of clothing, for example a tunic, or a shift dress.
Take a look below for some ideas.

Women's Plus: Women's Plus Tie-Front Tunics - Yellow Print

Maroon and Ivory Tiki Print Babydoll Top

Dusk Till Dawn Dress

Of course you could also add some African Influence with a Safari style jacket, worn with a belt it will accentuate you curves and cinch in your waist.

Paris Pocket Jacket Also available in Sand color.

Choose accessories that are on trend. For example wear a number of chunky wooden bangles, or large statement earrings or necklace in a tribal style. Or add a statement hangbag.

Wide Floral Wood Bangle

- $55.00
This Giraffe print tote is remarkably roomy with three separate compartments in the interior. Double handle strap. Fully lined interior has cell phone and zipped pocket compartment. Snap closure. Accessorized with black leather trim.

So look out for plus size tops and dresses with ethnic influences, such as african prints, flower and leaf patterns, shades of brown, green, orange, yellows and red. Choose fabrics like cotton and linen to take you from Spring all the way through Summer.

A Curvy Chick's Guide To Looking Good This Summer

2008-06-11T10:58:00.000-07:00

If you are a plus size diva who adores Summer but hates feeling sweaty and uncomfortable then read on to learn how to stay looking gorgeous throughout the hot days ahead.

First of all buff up your skin. Use a loofah or salt or sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin all over. Start from your ankles, up your legs, hips, torso, wrists to shoulders, go gentle on your décolletage, but don't leave that area out. Now rinse off in the shower, try cooler water to really get your skin pepped up. Gently dry your skin with a big fluffy towel and finally slather on some moisturiser, this can be cheap and cheerful Palmer's Cocoa Butter or as decadent as Crème De La Mer! Personally I use Dream Cream from LUSH Cosmetics, it soothes and softens, and has a subtle rose and lavender aroma.

Next on the list, treat yourself to a pedicure, or you could do it yourself. You want your tootsies looking cute in your summer flip flops, or peep toe wedges. Gather together cotton wool, nail varnish remover, a pumice stone, nail clippers and an emery board. Now get started on those feet! Again rub in some moisturiser and finish off with some bright nail polish, my current favorite is Givenchy - Hypnotic Pink.

So now your skin is glowing and your feet are looking as cute as can be. But how can you stay looking cool, calm collected and cute through the summer months.

Here are my tried and tested tips.

Carry a small size anti perspirent in your purse. Apply it when need, wherever needed, I spray under my boobs to avoid sweating and rubbing from my bra. Invest in sweat guards if you have to wear shirts for work, but these may make you feel warmer.

Rub in cornstarch over your chest and thighs, this will help them stay dry and stop chafing or try Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel my friend swears by it. If you suffer from thigh rash in the summer, like I do, then invest in a pair of Cotton/Lycra bike shorts or SPANX Nude Power Panties.

I own a number of wash cloths and I take a freshly laundered one to work each day in a zip lock bag. At lunchtime or break time, I rinse it in cool water, and in the privacy of the washroom I wipe my neck, chest area and backs of my knees, or anywhere else I feel sweaty and gross! Dry off thoroughly and reapply the cornstarch.

Don't avoid exercise just because it's hot. Keep walking, swimming or whatever you enjoy to stay healthy. Make sure you stay hydrated, carry a bottle of water with you and keep one on your desk too.

Finally wear sunscreen and reapply regularly, especially after excessive sweating.

So do you girls have any other tips for keeping our cool this summer?

2008-06-05T06:20:00.001-07:00

Ok so I have been on another spending spree. The girl just can't help it!
I adore my jeans and denims, and imagine my delight when I found some that were even suitable to wear for work and play. Yeah baby, my purchases were wise ones, I can get double the wear out of them instead of just saving my fabulous designer jeans just for the weekend. Even DH was impressed LOL

You can now find lots of plus size jeans, in many styles, fittings and colors.
Anyway, here are the two pairs that I treated myself to.

Plus Size Swimsuits

2008-06-03T07:29:00.000-07:00

AlwaysForMe’s figure flattering designs dominate this Oprah plus size swimwear feature with their Chic Collection Goddess style and One Piece Twist Front Bandeau swim mini, along with selections from their name brand designers: Carol Wior, It Figures!, Speedo, and Miraclesuit.

Nicole Brewer – stylist to actress Nikki Blonsky of Hairspray - chooses her favorite swimsuits for curvy women. She tells Oprah readers to “look for suits with tummy-control, wide and supportive straps and ruching or shirring.

The Goddess two-piece adjustable skirtini offers both style and sophistication with a figure flattering fit and versatility. It has a gathered top that draws the eye towards the middle of the body and with the side shirring, Goddess creates a leaner look and narrower silhouette. If your legs are one of your best features, show them off in the adjustable skirt.

The Always For Me Chic solid twist front bandeau has classic style and is reminiscent of glamorous 1950's fashion, think Marilyn Monroe. It drapes beautifully across the bust line with a gathered twist that draws the eye in. Shirring on the bust and sides are wonderful illusion makers, creating a slimmer silhouette and drawing the eye toward the center for a narrower look. See the one-piece version of the suit this month in Seventeen. Not only popular with the fashionistas, the twist front is a my favorite, as well. Yes I bought the brown one to add to my vacation capsule wardrobe.

If you prefer a more modest plus size swimsuit then take a look at these two.

Marabella One Piece Plus Size Twist Front Swimdress Swimsuit by Delta Burke®
A flattering fit with a soft cup bra to provide comfortable support whilst the feminine v-neck frames and flatters the face. This swimdress also has a tummy control panel to slim the waist. Available in Black and Navy.

Let It Shine One Piece Plus Size High-Necked Keyhole Back Swimsuit by Delta Burke®

Plus Size Dresses

2008-05-12T04:07:00.000-07:00

Yet again the sun is shining and my mind wanders to summer dresses. As a little girl I hated wearing dresses, I was a child of the 70's so crimplene, polyester and nylon were the fabrics of the day. As a pleasantly plump child, shirring and puff sleeves only added to my tubby frame. Now however as a curvaceous diva I adore wearing cute plus size dresses. I wear them to work, lunching with friends, dates with my wonderful DH, and basically as much as possible during the summer months.

Here I have picked out a few of my current favorites that I either already own or am sure going to be buying real soon!

Curtain Call Dress

This is such a girly dress and such a cute shade of pink, I wore it recently for my niece's christening with a white wrap and flat sandals. I wore a
small white gardenia hair clip
and felt very fresh and summery.

Wrap Star Dress

I know that bright colors are really in at the moment but I never thought I could wear them. On a whim I ordered this dress. I have worn it to the office and straight on to meeting up with my girl friends. It looks fab with black patent pumps and clutch purse. A more versatile plus size dress than I first realized, it covers my upper arms, which I sometimes get self concious about and I think would go well with leather sandals and chunky wooden beads and bangles.

Blue and White Rose Print Wrap Dress

I feel such a yummy mummy in this dress. Flattering and practical, great for dressing up or down. I wore this on Mother's Day my first when we went out as a family to visit the park and then on to our favorite child friendly restaurant. Hubby even complemented me, so I'll be wearing this dress a lot this summer!

Brooklyn Bandana Dress

Now this dress is on my wish list. I love the ethnic hippy chick vibe, and think it will take me right through from Summer to Fall. May even look good with my brown leather boots. I hear my credit card calling me LOL

So are you a summer dress diva or do you prefer separates, pants, skirts?
Do you have problems finding the right style or length of dress?
Let me know your thoughts.

Plus Size Swimsuits and Holiday Wardrobe

2008-05-08T05:15:00.000-07:00

I am a fanatical list maker, every year when planning for my vacation I begin a list of clothing, beauty products and other items that I need to pack. After many years of trying to fit all the summer clothes I own into my suitcase I have now perfected the capsule wardrobe. So here are my ideas for the ideal curvy and plus size girl's summer vacation.

I try to choose colors that will go together, this year I am really into earth tones, browns, greens and spicy orange and red.

Let's start with Plus Size Swimsuits and Tankinis. For a two week break I usually pack 2 tankinis that I can switch and swap around. I like to choose a halter top and a strap top so that I don't end up with large strappy tan lines. Sometimes I throw in a swim skirt too.

Next I need a couple of cover ups, a tunic and a sarong. These are ideal for when you want give your skin a break from the sun, or want to wander to the pool or beach bar for some cooling refreshment.

For walking around the pool or on the beach I take a fun pair of flip flops, along with a cute beach bag for my sun cream, bottle of water and book.

Now on to Plus Size summer clothes for sight seeing or wandering around town. I take a one or two pairs of shorts and a pair of capri pants. The capri pants can double up as evening wear too. Add a couple of tanks or camis, or a tshirts if you prefer something with sleeves. I usually wear more sturdy sandals, I love my birkenstocks!

For the evening I take a dress and a skirt, with a couple of more dressy tops. I also add a pashmina or I have just bought this fabulous long sleeve wrap sweater. Add a pair of wedge sandals and accessorize with chunky wooden beads and bangles.

Fall Plus Size Fashions

2007-10-08T10:19:00.000-07:00

It looks like the big colors for this Fall are soft plums, browns and rose, olive green and teal. Look out for luxury feel fabrics like cashmere, and jersey. Layering can still work on curvy figures, just avoid bulky fabrics. Try a shirt with a tank top sweater, or reveal a hint of a lacy cami top underneath a v neck sweater. Tunic style tops continue to be popular and these look so cute layered over jeans or wide leg pants. If you are tall, you could even wear a wrap dress over pants or jeans.
Add a cord or denim jacket with a skinny scarf, or cosy up in a wrap or pashmina. Don't forget to carry an oversize leather tote if you want to be right on trend.

Plus Size Lingerie

2007-08-17T12:18:00.000-07:00

So let's start at the very beginning, the main thing you have to be sure of when you are buying plus size lingerie is your size. This is especially important when buying a bra. Studies have shown that 70% opf women are wearing the wrong size bra. Are you one of them?

Here's how to measure yourself properly so that your bra fits perfectly.

Use a soft tape measure and in front of a mirror, measure underneath your breasts. Starting at your cleavage, pass the tape measure behind your back and around to your front. This is your band size.

Next, move the tape up to your armpits and measure above your breast. Write that number down on a piece of paper. Now, measure your breast at nipple level, the fullest part of your breasts. Subtract the number you wrote down from the nipple-around-and-back measurement, and voila! That's your cup-size!

0 to 1/2" AA cup

1/2" to 1" A cup

1" to 2 1/2" B cup

2 1/2" to 3 1/2" C cup

3 1/2" to 4 1/2" D cup

4 1/2" to 6" DD (or E cup for some bras)

6" to 7" DDD (or F cup for some bras)

7" to 8" G cup

8" to 9" GG cup

9" to 10" H cup

10" to 11" HH cup

11" to 12" J cup

12" to 13" JJ cup
