Crappy detail pictures as usual. I really need to sort out my camera or just learn how to use it! Anyways I wore the tshirt with my new ASOS Curve Skater skirt and New Look Watermelon clutch with red accessories for that extra pop.

I went for the xxxl and it is big enough for my size 26 and 44J body and bust. I got the round neck version and cut the neck bigger and the sleeves shorter. You can buy a version which has already been cut if you don't trust yourself with scissors!

My last post was a Joe Browns dress that I had nothing but great things to say about it and guess what! This one is too! I am now a firm fan of this brands new vintage style and print dresses. I want them all!

I was lucky enough to be given this beautiful Perfect Pear print dress from Simply Be to review. It has a great vintage look. I Especially liked the pearl detail of the buttons and round collar neck. It is a thick shirt material with stretch which I love as it is thick enough not to need ironed and comfortable because of the stretch. It is actually my favourite material for these type of occasion dresses.  It is a quality garment which will last years and never go out of style due to it's vintage look. I got the size 26 which is a perfect fit for me. As with all dresses they appear longer on me as I am only 5'3'' It is available in sizes 14-32.

I wore this on my Spa trip last weekend for evening meal and cocktails. It got many a compliment! I wore it with my New Look Watermelon clutch to be extra fruity! It was rather dark in the room so my photos are not great and even did some at home and light was again an issue! You can see the drawing detail and pearl buttons of the dress in my last photo. So in love with these Joe Browns retro dresses! See my other Joe Browns dress review of one HERE

I have to say I have never been a fan of the Joe Browns range. It was always a little to hippy for me but a few weeks ago I got a little booklet through the door showing the new range available and I was blown away by all the beautiful retro pinup style dresses they had! I had skimmed past some of them on the Fashion World website as the pictures were too small and grainy to see the beauty of the prints. Viewing the high quality and detailed photos opened my eyes to the beauty that is Joe Browns! It is safe to say I am now a firm fan of this range thanks to this dress!

Fashion World were kind enough to send me the Colourful Coral 50's Dress to review since I am new to the range. I am in love with this dress! It is a thick cotton shirt material with stretch. I have a couple of dresses made with this material already and they are two of my favourite dresses in my wardrobe.

I ordered the 26 not knowing how it would fit and it is actually perfect for me. The length is great and the cap sleeve detail is very pretty. The neckline is great for my bust and I can see me wearing this dress a lot this summer. The flower print is beautiful and my Mr was very complimentary about this dress too. It would be perfect for any summer event and could easily be wintered up with a nice thick pretty cardi.

This past weekend my hubby booked a friend and myself into a Spa for the night. I thought it would be the perfect chance to show off this dress! We went for cake and coffee before checking in and the weather was lovely. I felt like a Summer Stunner in this dress! If you are like me and have not tried Joe Brown before then I can safely say that you will not be disappointed in any purchase.

As you may or may not have noticed, I have a new header for the blog! I am super excited about it as it is drawn by the awesome Russ aka @ihateyurguts instagram. He has a great talent for art and his fat tattooed ladies have been a favourite of mine for some time. I commissioned this piece from him last week and I love it to bits!

If you would like to commission him just sent him a message on instagram and I am sure he will be happy to help out for a fee. Check him out on instagram!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the Bespoke Poppy dress on the Simply Be website! I have been looking for a big flower print dress like this for a couple of years and had seen a Yellow Rose one on in America but it was over £100. This beauty is £60 and although that is a lot for me to spend on a dress I knew I would regret not getting it. I watched it on the website for a couple of weeks and when it went limited stock in size 26 I had to bite the bullet and grab it before it went out of stock. Also I had seen Betty Pamper post on her blog about it and it looked even better on her than the models! See her post HERE and I am sure you will agree she looks amazing! Even the Mr approved! he said it made my boobs look massive! Which is not that hard since they are massive. This will be a summer and winter fave for me. I have lots of ideas on how to style it a few different ways so look out for more of this beauty. I needed the size 26 for my bust even though it has a slight stretch to the fabric.
