Love this Dress
Plus size occasion wear has always been hard to find - until Curvety came along that is!
The cotton blossom dress is a new style by Igigi, which is available in the UK at Curvety.
I LOVE this style. The gorgeous print is perfect for almost any occasion, while the shape is really flattering on curves. The only thing to be careful of is wearing it too much!

New Curvety Own Label Brand
Curvety.com, a UK based plus size clothing specialist, has started developing its own label. You can now purchase from their Curvety branded line of evening and day dresses in UK sizes 18 to 36.
Curvety.com have always sold fab plus size clothing on behalf of worldwide deigners such as Igigi and Kiyonna. These lines are still available but over the coming months Curvety plans to add more and more of their own styles in sizes made exclusively for the UK public. There is a severe lack of UK brands catering for a size 32 or over so this is a welcome development.

Fave Evening Dress for Plus Sizes
My favourite evening dress is back in the shops just in time for the party season.
The Satin Dreams Gown is designed by US plus size clothing specialist Igigi, but is available in the UK at Curvety.com.
It is a truly fabulous dress for the fuller figure, with heavy drapey stretch satin material and a matching shawl to cover upper arms or other troublesome areas. The fit is perfect and really flattering. Whenever I wear it I feel amazing.
I'm not the only fan - Lakisha was featured wearing this dress on American Idol last year in a different colour. Plus it has had a number of mentions in magazines across the US. If you have a special night planned in the near future then don't miss out as every time i've seen this style in stock it soon sells out!

Valentino Retires
It was announced on Tuesday that the legendary Italian designer Valentino will retire after two final collections for October and January.
The 75-year-old couturier has dressed the world's most glamorous women for decades & in July celebrated 45 years in the business. He is known for his trademark scarlett dresses, a look which can be replicated in plus sizes at Curvety.com'
It's the perfect moment to say adieu to the world of fashion,' Valentino said in a statement, adding that he would present his last ready-to-wear collection in Paris in October and a final haute couture line in January. 'Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that,' he said.
'I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.'
The fashion house have today announced that Alessandra Facchinetti has been appointed to design all the women's wear lines for Valentino after his retirement. 'Alessandra Facchinetti is the designer who can interpret and continue the legacy of Valentino's core values at their best. We know we can also capitalize on her significant experience in designing for some of the most important and successful fashion companies where she acquired a great expertise,' the chief executive officer of Valentino Fashion Group said. Facchinetti, 35, said she was 'honoured to be part of this new project. Mr Valentino has always been a point of reference for me, an icon for his style and elegance.'

Purple for Plus Sizes
Each season has its colour and this Autumn/Winter it is purple that reigns supreme. From lavender to violet, lilac to plum. It doesn't matter if it is vibrant or subtle as long as it suits.
Purple is a brave and bold colour which I love but has the potential to be a fashion nightmare for some. Make sure you select a shade that matches your skin tone. And use as an accent rather than all over colour if you aren't comfortable being so bold.
This fab wrap dress from Curvety.com is perfect for fuller figured ladies who are a size 22 to 36. Not only is it the best colour for the season but the tie waist detail is also very on trend and the material is to die for.

AUTUMN O7 THE EVENT DRESS
According to Vogue one of this season's hottest trends is the good old evening dress. There's a sultry glamour to these sumptuous floor-length gowns which will make this year's party season all the more fun.
From pistachio silk to lipstick-pink chiffon, colour gives extra dazzle and infuses another top trend - bold colours. Elbow-length gloves add to the drama but short gloves are the bang-up-to-date option. Be sure not to go mad with the jewellery though or you may over do it.
For those who don't like to show too much flesh on the upper arms, a wonderful wrap or shrug will finish the look in style.
There has always been a limited choice for plus size women when it comes to eveningwear but Curvety.com always have a wonderful selection in large sizes as they specialise in evening dresses which are cut well to fit the larger frame.

Plus Size Fashion on the Red Carpet
By now i'm sure you will all have heard of Nikki Blonsky, the talented new star of Hairspray and newest plus size celebrity.
Nikki was spotted in London earlier in the year in one of Igigi's fabulous plus size designs. For the LA premiere of Hairspray she has gone one step further and had an Igigi couture dress made especially for her! Based on the Shimmering dress in Copper which is available in the UK from Curvety.com, she has had the style adapted to suit her shorter frame.
Nikkie says: 'I wanted to wear something beautiful that shows off my curves in a classy and glamorous way'.
I think Nikki looks fab and shows that curvier women can look stunning for that special evening event. Take note and make no excuses next time you have a reason to dress up!

Autumn 07 Cinched Waist
The new Autumn/Winter lines are starting to hit the shops and there is much talk of the new season trends. I will be looking at these over the coming weeks but thought I would start the ball rolling with THE hot look - the cinched waist.
The stores will be filled with midi length dresses with waist belts plus tie waisted tops, jackets and coats. You can create this look yourself with the right belt. Belts are not always the easiest plus size accessory to find but there is a great selection at Curvety.com in sizes up to a 36.
This can be a great look for the more voluptuous amoung us, as maximising & accentuating your curves is the aim - time to celebrate those hips and bum! Choose a good quality material which is forgiving over lumps and bumps and use a fairly sturdy (not too thin as this will widen your waist) belt to cinch tight and you will have the perfect Forties hour glass figure. Size zero's will not stand a chance at matching your style with this look.

The importance of good underwear
In fashion in general there is a distrubing new trend which is fast on the rise - women wearing the wrong underwear.
It is a sure fire way to ruin an outfit and it's not just bras. I am talking about knickers, body shapers, camis, all undies!
Wearing the right size is everything, even more so than getting it right in your regular clothing. To arrive at the right size in underwear you should be measured at least once a year. This isn't as difficult as you'd think - just go to your local department store and ask a sales associate to measure your bust, waist and hips.
Once the size is right you need to find a comfortable fit and great support. You want items that will smooth and flatter your curves, helping your clothing to drape over them in a flattering way. For example, body shapers work best when worn with a dress or skirt. They provide a smoothing quality that streamlines your shape and softens your curves. Choose full body shapers for dresses and half-styles for skirts.
The characteristics of a good bra are a great lift, comfortable fit, straps that stay in place, a back strap that doesn't rise and no spillage - anywhere. The only way to overcome these problems is to be properly measured regularly. Every outfit needs a good bra. If your bra is digging into your skin, If you are spilling out everywhere, If there is lots of room inside the cup, If the straps are falling down, even when adjusted, Or if your breasts are sagging when you are wearing a bra, it's the wrong size.
Knickers should also be chosen depending on the outfit. Wear thongs or low-rise styles with any bottoms that sit below your waist. Full-coverage panties are perfect for dresses but make sure you don't have any visible panty lines whicy are a huge no no. What you don't want is to be spilling out over the top of your underwear, creating a roll you don't really have. Choose slightly loose over too-tight when it comes to the fit.
Wearing the right underwear will make the world of difference to the overall effect of your outfit. So now you're prepared you can choose your new killer outfit from someone like Curvety.com, safe in the knowledge that it will hang well and you will look great!
