I am Scottish and love tartan. I have been wanting a tartan coat for years and never found one that fit my bust until now. I found this beaut in Asda of all place. They only had a size 20 but I tried it on and was surprised how roomy it was. I of course went home and checked their website for my size. It only went up to a size 24 but I figured the 20 was big so would probably be safe with the 24. It is tight over my belly but I can live with it!


Simple old Scarlett & Jo dress and Clarks brogues because brogues are my faves.

I have not shopped with Evans in quite some time but I bought some leggings and a dress recently and was very impressed with the shape and cut of the dress. They actually use fat models to fit the clothes they make not just size up from a smaller size like some brands!


This Winter has been all about the leopard print again and I am a happy lady. I saw this dress on the website and fell in love. I ordered the size 28 and it fits my bust great. The neck could do with being a little smaller but the sleeves are great.


I wore grey Snag tights with it and used the fabric belt from the dress as a tie with pin to look smart. The glasses are Red Or Dead and were available from Specsavers years ago and I missed out. I have been on the hunt for a pair ever since and found these at Retro Spectacle.

Woohoo! Another Lollidot dress from Scarlett & Jo! Yes I am biased since they are named after me but they are also just awesome dresses. I have never been into cowl necklines but thought I would give it a try and I actually love it. This is the first black stretchy fabric lollidot dress and it is perfect for work or play. I am hoping a few more styles in black are released next year. I have been told there is one more lollidot to come this year and is a perfect party dress.

I am wearing the 26 as I was unsure if the bust would be big enough even with the cowl detail I didn't want it to be too stretched so this was the perfect size for me. The fit, length and sleeve length are all perfect and I really have nothing but two thumbs up for this dress.

I wore this to a family celebration at the weekend and just added a couple of blingy brooches to make it extra glam. Brogues are my go to shoes as they are formal and comfortable at the same time and go with almost everything.

It is so hard to find shirts when you have a large bust and small frame. I tend to stay away from them but when I saw this Karina shirt by In The Style Curve I had to give it a try. I originally ordered the 28 which to my surprise was huge on me so then ordered this size 26. Yes the collar is a little big, the sleeves are little long and 24 would have fit my frame better but I really need the 26 for my bust.

I also thought this would be a thin shirt but it is really thick and has a little stretch. I am wearing a black bra under it to show how thick it is. I love the skater dip hem style at the bottom which means it fits all size bums. It had been available in black also but is now sold out and does not look like it is coming back into stock.

This is quite a smart but casual look for me. I always think of jeggings/jeans as casual which is silly really. I added the brown belt and shoes to tie in the beautiful handmade brooch that was given to my by a talented friend.

How much more fun can a bag get?! This is another Yoshi real leather bag that has me drooling over how cute it is and also how well made it is. It is large enough to be an everyday bag for work and play with 2 size pockets and a large middle section all secure with poppers and zip. The detail of this bag is stunning and even has a balloon on the back.

If you love this bag but would prefer a longer handle you are in luck! Yoshi are wonderful because they do various styles in this Amongst The Clouds design with purse and even keyring to match so you can get a complete set. HERE

This is my 5th dress in this style from Scarlett & Jo and it is safe to say it is my favourite style for Summer! Thanks to the thin and floaty material and loose fit it makes for a sweat free wear even on the hottest of days. The newest versions feature these cute and useful pockets with flap detail. Any dress with pockets gets two thumbs up from me and this is a 100% winner!

This print is also now available in a pink and purple detail which is super lovely and on my wish list of future purchases! The elastic waist is comfortable and gives shape. The length means it is not flashing your lady parts on a breezy day and the v neck back detail is just lovely.

This was the perfect dress for today. If you have not tried this dress I urge you to now as there are so many prints including polka dots and daisies now available.

If you follow me on instagram (@lollylikes) you may have seen my issues with this skirt. I have ordered from Lindy Bop before and their largest size is a 26. Sadly I cannot squeeze my bust into their dresses. When I saw they were having a sale I headed over to the site so drool over all the pretty print dresses and found this skirt on sale in a size 26. I ordered it and when it arrived there was a huge brown stain on it and a large white sticker with an arrow pointing to the stain just to be sure I noticed it! I obviously returned the skirt and asked for a full refund including postage which they did no problem. It still cost me to return the skirt to them! No free returns.

I loved the skirt so figured I would order another one and hopefully it would be fine and fit like the previous one fit. The second skirt arrived and guess what! It had a stain on it too! You can imagine by now I am really annoyed! I did not want to pay for another return so decided to wash the skirt and hope that the stain came out. Thankfully it did and fits. It really has made me think twice about ordering from them again. Although I did notice a glasses print skirt new on the site and I am very tempted but grudge spending money on a brand that barely fits my fat body after my previous experiences.

Anyways this is a Scarlett & Jo dress worn under the skirt. I love the top of this dress and it goes great with the skirt. I think this is a perfect Valentine Month outfit with the red and cute Lipstick print and bag. Of course their had to be some glassesporn and why not hearts since it is February!

I have quite a few skirts but not many tops. This is a very pretty lace detail neckline top. It also has the sweetheart neckline shape that I love so much. It feels light and delicate to wear so would be great any time of year. It is available in this purple or black form Scarlett & Jo. I would have liked the fabric rather than the lace to cover my bra straps but that is just my preference as a big booby lady who needs wide bra straps.

I am wearing the size 24 but as the lace is delicate it was a little loose. I could have sized down to a 22 as I like the fitted look and wear it tucked in. The 24/26 would be a better fit for me if I am wearing it with trousers or jeans.

Having taken these photos I wished I had worn purple tights or knee highs. Sometimes outfits I put together are great and some not so great. I like this outfit but think it would have been great with tights. That is how blogging goes sometimes. We can't get it 100% all the time. We learn as we go and hopefully inspire you readers to have fun with fashion and try new things. What is the worst that can happen?!

“I wanted to make pieces to last years. Beyond trends, beyond chain stores. I wanted to create something all its own, something just for us, made with love and consideration. Made ethically in the USA as a small company with no corporate input. Uncompromising, unapologetic, humane, and timeless. Go-to pieces designed to last.”- Beth Ditto

To some people clothes are just things to cover your body. To me clothes are mood boosters and expession of what I am feelng projected to the world. As Beth Ditto says above "uncompromising, unapologetic" fashion. My choice of clothes for my fat body are uncompromising and unapologetic! I am fat some don't like that word and I understand why but I own it and am in no doubt of what my body looks like to myself or others. I am fat. That is not a bad thing it is just my sizes/shape. That is all it tells you about this body.

My belly is large and wearing clothes that show it is not a bad thing. I am not hiding it. It is part of me and you don't have to love it. Hell you don't even have to like it because it is mine not yours. So yes you can see my belly but if that is all you see then you need to check your eyes.

Wearing clothes that are made for a fat body and celebrate my body with colour and quality is a total joy. This top makes me feel happy. That is what this Collection does for me. I hope you see that in me and can find it in yourself with fashion or something else because heing unhappy in your body is not a nice ways to live. Trust me! I did it for over 20 years.
