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.

This is the last of my Beth Ditto reviews and just in time foot the final blowout sale on the website. You can see my other reviews HERE. Beth is focusing on music just now with her new album Fake Sugar and World Tour so grab a pretty before everything sells out!

This is the Lola Lips dress from the first collection. I am wearing a size 26 (size 26 & 28 still available) and it is the right fit for me a UK size 26/28. I need it for the bust. The material like the skirt version is a double layer thick stretchy material with thin stretchy under layer. This is a not really a Summer dress because of how thick it is. It has this lovely crossover neck and short sleeves that fit well. This dress also has the famous giant pockets that this bag could fit in!

I love this length on me but I am a shortie 5'3'' so it would be shorter on taller people. I think the dresses are my favourite bits from both collections. I am a dress lover anyway but the prints, fit and shapes just really speak to me. I really hope that Beth comes back next year with a Collection of equally as awesome pieces or better if that is possible!

Thank you Beth for making load and interesting clothing for fat bodies like mine and for letting me review some of them here! My fashion game is stronger because of you!

I saw this jacket in a post by The Curve Fashion Festival on Instagram and was shocked and over the moon to discover it was plus size! I had a black New Look Biker a few years ago but I am not into lots of black so have had an eye out for something colourful I could rock.

Of course I headed straight over to the New Look website and found this stunning red version along with a green, yellow, pink and a silver version! It was hard to choose which one to purchase. I ordered the size 26 and also this tshirt and kept my fingers crossed that they would fit.

The jacket is slightly small to zip up but I would probably never wear it closed anyway and I think a bigger size would be too big on the shoulders and long in the sleeves. This is slightly too long in the sleeves but I could easily stitch them up if it bothers me too much. I love the red but still have my eye on the silver version!

This look is inspired by my friend Chattermonkey from instagram. She mentioned she wanted to get the yellow version but had not seen it on anyone fat. She had seen a slim person wearing one with a band tshirt and striped trousers which then gave me the idea for the striped skirt. I had been thinking about what to wear the tshirt with and actually really love this look. I call it Pirate Rock! with added Cowboy boots just to confuse people!

I was in Birmingham with my Bestie for a girls night of shopping and good food and that is exactly what we got! I have been to Birmingham twice before but did not make the most of my day trips. We had booked a hotel a couple of minutes walk from the Bullring Shopping Mall and booked a table in The Botanist for our evening meal.

We shopped until we dropped with a pit stop to Selfridges for cake. We had a little rest before getting ready for our evening meal.

I wore my new Scarlett & Jo Stripe dress which has a pussy bow neckline and cuffed sleeves. The dress comes with a thick stretchy black belt but I wore on old red one to tie in with my new ebay bargain cheapo Lips earrings and bag.

The dress is a thick supersoft stretchy fabric and feels lovely on. It is so easy to wear and love how all the lines line up on the shoulders and the seams on the skirt. It is a small detail that makes all the difference to a stripe dress. The waist has a thin and comfortable elastic to it so you could wear it without a belt and it would keep the shape.

You can also get the same dress in a reverse colourway of white with black stripes. Scarlett & Jo are my favourites for offering more than one option in the same style.

If you have not been to The Botanist or have one near you please try it! The cocktails are to die for and the food is the best I have tried. We only ordered a little selection board and a couple of side but couldn't finish it all. The food is very seasoned with salt and pepper so if you are not a fan of that maybe give it a miss.

Since I had two tickets for the Awards I offered the ticket to my instagram/twitter followers and asked who wanted to be my date. I picked a winner at random and it ended up being the beautiful and ever so lovely Michaela. It was her first plus size event! First of many hopefully! You can follow her on instagram @astutefiery



I have a few items from the first Beth Ditto Collection and they are beautiful and I wear them regularly because they are so comfortable and stylish. This second collection is just as amazing if not better! The make up/beauty them runs through both collections and this is the Ball & Chain dress and there is a circle waist detail with stitched circles and a thin tie to give shape. The sleeves are almost like a batwing style which fits my fat arms the ease and also allows room for my large bust. I did worry the waist may be too high as my bust tends to pull things up but this was lovely.

With all of the Beth styles shape is a major design factor. each item has a number of interesting details and or shape to it. Pockets are another Beth staple and I don't mean little no point them being there pockets. Big Pockets! All clothes should have pockets!

This dress is a lightweight stretchy poly blend fabric that feels lovely to wear and means no iron required! The skirt has a lot of swish to it and an interesting pleat at the front. The length is almost a midi on my as I am a shortie 5'3'' so would be a good length on taller people also. The sleeves are a perfect length on me also.

The print of this dress is a 3 colour droplet of blood red nail polish which appeals to my inner goth and also my love all things red. I added some red accessories to make it pop.

This dress is so easy to wear and I already have ideas of how I will wear it again so look out for more from this dress on the blog. You can take advantage of the current up to 80% off at Bethditto.com NOW!
