Ohh my goddd! Were the words that screamed in my head when I saw this dress on the Bonmarche website. I have been stalking the site since getting my two polka dot dresses from them. See the previous posts "Glamour Polka" HERE & "Bonnie Bon Bon" HERE. I love the fit, shape and fabric so have been on the look out for more prints from them and they did not disappoint!

With flowers, lace and leaf print this dress is BOLD and Beautiful! I tend to go for reds and blues rather than pinks and purples but this is so pretty and I had just bought this pair of Zenni Optical purple glasses so had to have something to wear them with.

The dress is lined and stretchy and comfortable. It is loose enough around my arms and does not hug my pits like some dresses. The length is great for me at 5'3'' and the neckline is lovely too. There is a ruched detail you can see in the close up pic that is nice.

If you have not had a look at the Bonmarche website then I urge you to now. It is not just for the more mature women. They are really trying to cater to the younger woman too. Like I said before, the quality is great and the price is good too.

I recently did a review of a very similar peplum polka dot dress also from Bonmarche HERE and it a photo was used on their Facebook page along with 3 other blogger to show how the same dress looks on different sizes/shapes of bodies. As usual there were a few negative comments but some of these were really horrible. I was shocked at how horrid some people can be especially since it is was from a place where most of the followers are over 40 and really should know better. It seems like the younger generation actually have a better understanding of acceptance than the older generations. I am actually quite glad about this as it shows progress and learning from the previous generations misunderstandings and or ideas.

This is of course no fault of Bonmarche who are trying to expand their appeal and involving younger bloggers in their online presence which I for one think is brilliant! What fat person does not want another place to be able to buy quality clothes that fit?!

One of the comments mentioned about looking in the mirror side on before posting pictures of lumps and bumps. This person obviously has no idea what bloggers do or are about. I more than most am aware of what my body looks like 360 degrees form various photo shoots I have done on my journey of self love/acceptance and body positivity.

 I bought this dress because I loved the quality and fit of the one I had reviewed and cannot pass up a polka dot dress! This one has a wrap around effect top which is lined so no bra showing through and lovely side detail which my blurry pic has not picked up. Sorry about that! Longer sleeves on this one and a great length for my 5'4'' frame. I just love this dress! it is stretchy and comfortable and thick enough for these not so warm days. If you have not seen the Bonmarche range then head over now for a look HERE.

I am fat and proud and love my lumps and bumps which include my boobs, belly and bum and everything else. I feel glam as hell in this and think I look pretty damn good! Love yourself and what anyone else has to say about you and your body has very little to no difference in how you feel. Much love to all the body positive people who read this blog and support out Rad Fat Community.

My previous post gave you a taste of what Bonmarche has to offer and these are my top picks from new season items and sale! Sizes 10 - 24. What do you think?








Why not go have a look and see if you can grab yourself a lovely bargain HERE!

The Bon Bon refers to the large polka dots that remind of the yummy sweets! The Bonnie refers to Bonnie Parker of Bonnie &Clyde. Loving the tv special at the moment! I do not have the urge to go rob a bank but I do feel super sexy and vintage in the gorgeous dress. It is super stretchy and a thick sleek material that holds its shape well and should wash good too. This is my first peplum item and it is rather cute. The v neck is not too deep but I am wearing a bad bra that sits high. Great length and lovely sleeves that are not too tight.

All in all I am really impressed with this dress! So much so that I have ordered another from the collection at Bonmarche. Yes I said Bonmarche! I have have been having a good look through the website HERE and there are some really beautiful things. The David Emanuel Collection has some fab vintage look dresses and coats plus your basics. If this dress is anything to go by then quality is also great. Prices are not bad either! Sale items even better!!!







The bag is large and has two sections to keep thing organised. The length of the shoulder strap is good even for fat arms and the black pipe edges is a great detail and contrast to the white.
