“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


This was the first piece released from the Beth Ditto Collection and what a way to start! This is the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Corset. It is printed onto an oversized black tshirt which can be dressed up or down. The print is front and back and there is a ribbon laced through eyelets on the back for extra detail. Wearing this outfit makes me look and feel daaamn fiiine! Double chins, vbo, lumpy legs and all!

Bringing high end designer looks to plus size is fantastic and sooo needed. Not everyone can afford it but those that can should have access to it.

I have kept it sexy with the cute Heart Choker from Vixen Curves and Big Tights All Woman Lace Hold Ups which have that jelly stuff which stops them sliding down. These are size 28-32 are fit great!

As the shirt is oversized it is long enough I can wear it as a dress but I am only 5'3'' but I would wear this with leggings or a skirt also.

An old fascinator and my Wedding shoes from Hush Puppies complete this fabulous look!

This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!

OK I am not naked or a Superhero! I tend to not buy skin tone clothes as it can look like you are naked but I saw this dress on the Asos Curve website and thought I would give it a try. I loved the style and the cape was a super cute touch. The colour is more of a blush tone than the photos are showing. The dress is a stretchy material and has a lace effect overlay on the chest. As with most clothes they are not made for my huge bust so the under bust seams are on my bust which is a shame.

There was a black version also available on the website but both styles seem to be selling out fast. It is a great dress and which would be perfect for anyone who likes to cover up over Summer. The high neck and covered shoulders will stop you getting burnt by the Sun but you have the breezy under arm area to keep you cool.

This is a size 28 and would say it is true to size. I think I will be selling this dress and the colour not great with my very pale Scottish Ghost skin. The bag I have had my eye on for a while in Accessorize. I grabbed it when they had a 30% off sale recently. It is no longer available on the website but you may still be able to get one in store.

Franklin wanted to join me in the garden for this shoot so you can see him pottering about in his super stylish crocs and dino jumper! lol

It has been a while since I have done a Budget Bridal post but I will try to be better in 2016. This outfit is actually a dress and skirt. The dress is a little short to be a bridal outfit on its own but as a top with this tutu I think it makes a lovely combination. I am wearing totally the wrong colour bra for this but try to ignore it and focus on the lace and sparkle of the Star brooch.

If you are a Steps fan you may get the reference in the title and if not just have a look at the video at the end! This dress is from the Claire Richards Range and it is just gorgeous! I have liked quite a few of her pieces from the previous range but this is the first I have tried.

This is not a dress I would normally got for. Lace and the shape are never really my first choice but I have to say this dress is beautiful! It has a good weight to the fabric and the lace is so soft and not at all itchy. This is a quality dress and worth the money. I don't usually say that so when I do you know I mean it!

I wore this to my good friend Rebs 30th birthday party on Saturday and got lots of compliments on it and a lot of people actually new it was from the Claire Richards Range. The under layer is a thick stretchy lovely light blue and the lace is navy. The sleeves a great length and are sheer so you get the delicate feel but with coverage if you don't like showing your arms and you don't have to use a cardi to cover them and end up hiding the beautiful dress.

I sized up to a 26 for this shape as I have a large belly and bum. The bigger size was the right choice as it was perfect. It was not super skin tight and had a lovely shape. If you have not seen any of Claires Range then I suggest you head over to Fashion World to have a look as there is something for everyone and the quality is really good.

As an unemployed fatshion lover I was happy to see Evans Swan Collection by Clements Ribeiro. Just my thing! vintage styles in fun patterns but way too expensive for me even if I was earning a good wage.
I understand you are paying for the name but these are still just clothes. If I was a size 12 I could shop in Topshop and Primark and get lovely vintage inspired clothes for around £30. Being FAT we are made to pay more for clothes because we have to shop in specialist stores. I want to live in a world where shops like Topshop and Primark make larger sizes as standard. Up to size 32 should not be special it should be normal.
I have not been Evans biggest fan recently. As a fat person you would think finding a bra to fit me would be easy in Evans but you would be wrong! I cant get a bra to fit me in a specialist FAT shop! They sell 44H bras but their sizing is way off as it is half the size cup that my bust requires. Which I find very disturbing.  Their pricing is too expensive and most of their clothes have been pretty boring. Swan and the skater dress has saved Evans for me. Below are some of the fab new dresses they have and I would be very tempted to buy if I had the cash.
