I saved my favourite photos from the Velvet shoot for last! I just love this look! My Hubby says I look Like a sexy Superhero! What more could you ask for?!

This dress is from the Beth Ditto/Evans Collaboration 10 years ago and I have worn it maybe twice. At the time I bought it I was not as confidentas I am now but loved fashion and just had to have it.

Make sure to check out BethDitto.com for her NEW Collection! These are some of my faves!

Seeing these photos now I know I will be wearing this dress lots and giving it the love it deserves. I have kept it safe in the wardrobe for too long! Fashion is made to be worn not just admired on a hanger waiting for a day when you have lost X pounds.

The dress is actually on backwards! The neckline in a deep curve and I wanted a less boobular look for the shoot and I think it looks great this way too.

Rocking a bodycon and double belly vbo (visible belly outline) will be some peoples idea of a nightmare and it was mine also many moons ago! I hope that seeing these photos you see that it is not something to be afraid of! If you love the dress then wear it! If your belly sticks out.....so what!

Rock out with your belly out!!!!

Custom Cartwheels

Thursday, March 03, 2016

I am a bit annoyed these photos a not brighter but I hope you can see the awesome quality and perfection of this Chubby Cartwheels Velvet Natalie dress! Velvet is my favourite fabric EVER! It is just so lush and makes me feel glam without really trying.

My last post showed some of Shawnas amazing custom creations and this dress is just as special. It is available in Black, Burgundy, Emerald Green and just added is a beautiful Olive Green! I chose my sleeve length and size 5x with custom bust of 21" making the waist seam actually sit at my waist! This NEVER happens! My extra large bust means seams are usually right up under my bust or worse over my bust! This Velvet is soft, smooth, stretchy and oh sooo comfortable!

Having the option to customise your order to fit your body is brilliant and means you get something made for you while supporting a small business which I love. Chubby Cartwheels is a Brand that knows fat bodies and body positivity because Shawna the Woman that IS Chubby Cartwheels is fat and body positive! Knowing her customers needs and wants and even creating things I never even knew I wanted until I saw them! There is something for everyone with the plain fabrics and also a range of loud and fun print as well as sexy underwear and lingerie.

I urge you as a fashion lover and fat person to check out the Chubby Cartwheels website now!

Sorry but not the best lighting for these photos even using my light boxes. I am no pro so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyways check me out in this dress! Yes it is another Scarlett & Jo Velvet. I told you I was going to get them all so expect more posts about them.

This is the Midnight Midi with crossover bust. I just love a sweetheart neckline and the these Velvet dresses feel amazing on your body. I just added a couple of little brooches, black shoes (I am on the hunt for navy) a glitter Domino bag, faux fur stole and as always a pair of Desperate Beatnik earrings to complete the look. It is classy and elegant and oh so comfortable. I am wearing a size 26 and it fits perfectly. I also got the black and ruby version!

This is a dress that is fitted to your curves and hugs my belly and if you want a looser fit just size up or if you want it tighter size down and you will still look as fabulous and feel just as comfortable.

I wore this outfit with leggings and brogues to some friends Wedding reception with weekend and felt glam and very comfortable.

Glitter, Bows & Domino

Saturday, February 28, 2015

I bought this Modcloth dress a while ago and have not had a good enough reason to wear it until now. it has a slight sheen to the fabric and no stretch. the colour is like a grey/brown. I need the 4x for my bust but found the shoulders quite wide and arm holes large. Why do plus size clothes makers think fat people need masssssive arm holes??

The bag is Red Or Dead from Simply Be and is a gold and silver glitter vinyl with Domino stitch design. Shoe are very old Hush Puppies that go with almost everything!

Finished off with my large lilac confetti glitter lucite Desperate Beatnik earrings. I am seriously obsessed with her earrings!!!! Keep an eye out for another giveaway on my instagram soon!
