NEXT . . . . . not so shabby!

                                                                                                                                                                                             Ive never really shopped at Next before, I was always under the impression it was a bit old and frumpy but after having a look today I have to say Im having a bit of a re-think. Although the majority of items only go up to size 22  I have generally found them quite true to size, they also have a selection up to size 26 which includes some nice items such as this colourblock dress. In love this sleeveless broderie shirt with its cute little scalloped collar. They also have a lovely range of wide fitting shoes.

Jacket £45, Dolly Shoes £26, Linen Midi Skirt £28, Heart Print Midi Skirt £36, Sleaveless Broderie shirt £28, Colour Block Dress £45, Pony Skin Slippers £45, Scarf Print Dress £48. All Next http://www.next.co.uk/

Great Summer Dresses @ ASOS Curve

Summer Dresses @ Curve by mybigfatwardrobe featuring plus size dresses

The Swan Collection @ Evans



£55

I’ve just purchased my first item from the collection, the flower/stripe jersey tunic (left image). I couldn’t resist the pattern it’s like a sweet shop. I’ve even bought these lovely green flatform wedges (bottom left) from asos to wear with it because there’s no such thing as too much colour this summer.

I also love this black broderie dress (below right), it looks like a real 60s classic and the fabric is gorgeous but at £90 I need to see it in the flesh.

I can’t wait for them to come available in store so I can get in and try them all on.

It’s been a long time coming but the day has finally come for the Swan Collection by Clements Ribeiro for Evans to go live online.

From the 31st March 12, a selection of bright beautiful pieces in sizes 14 to 32 will be within your grasp. A rare chance to get your hands on some truly stylish plus size pieces.

I love this vibrant collarless cotton coat below with its oversized fitting and deep pockets.

It doesn’t get much better than this.
