OOTD - Simply Be BESPOKEfit

For a while now I have been buying items from the Simply be Glamourosa range and they have recently rebranded it again as BESPOKEfit and they have branched out into other areas of the body not just our ample bosoms.

They now offer different fit options in the range for hips, bums, calf, waist, bust and thighs which is fabulous!

My problem are is my bust, I often have to size up one or too sizes to fit them in normal items of clothing and it can be very frustrating to have all the excess material just so my boobs aren't squashed or trying to fall out all over the place.

Simply be recently sent me the spot Print Tunic dress from the range and it is gorgeous, I have been after a cute collared item for ages but couldn't find anything that fitted just right!

The length is just fight on me so I can wear it with or without tights/leggings, but if you are taller it might only be good for wearing with leggings if you do not like your dresses too short.

The material is lovely and light and doesn't crease easily which is always a bonus for me!

The collar is very cute.

I want to try a couple of the tops from the range as I have only really tried tunics before but I am always looking for something to wear with my jeans.

Head on over and take a look, I wear the H-K fit and it is spot on!

Claire Richards - Fashion World Ambasador

A few weeks back I received an announcement about Claire Richards becoming Fashion Worlds new Ambassador.

Claire Richards known for her time in the band steps has had quite a battle with her body over the years but seems to be finally settling into herself and I find her refreshing, she isn't shouting how she loves herself or how she hates herself, she just seems to be very honest and normal like most of us who battle to be ourselves and love what we have.

Personally I think Claire is stunning and an absolute hottie now, so there!!!

At the moment, Claire has only selected the clothing she loves the most from the selection at Fashion world but has fabulous things planned with the JD Williams Brand.

The lovely Fi gave me the opportunity to put some questions to Claire for this post here is what I wanted to know

1. What are the future plans for Claire and Fashion world? (own line etc)

I have designed a range for autumn/winter 13 which I'm really excited about people seeing. I've tried really hard to make all the pieces wearable for a plus size but also fashionable and really flattering.

2. Claire looks beautiful and confident as she is now, does she feel happy with herself?

I am in a really good place right now and finally feel that whatever size I am I feel comfortable and happy with myself at last.

3. Does Claire have any music plans for the future?

I would absolutely love to do a solo album, it's something that I've wanted to do for 20 years and I feel that now could be a good time.

4. How passionate is Claire about Fashion?

I am pretty passionate about fashion and I'm very passionate about making fashion accessible to plus size women, if you are bigger it doesn't mean you don't want to look great in the latest fashion but for some reason the high  street makes it impossible for you to be able to do that. With Fashion World I'm hoping that I can change the way people think about a plus size.

I am really looking forward to seeing Claires new collection for Autumn/ Winter but for now I have been given the opportunity to try out a few bits from her selection at Fashion World I decided rather than individual items I would try and create an outfit for the Spring/ Summer seasons ahead.

*Glamourosa tunic

*Neon Trim Parka

*High Waisted Leggings

I love this for the season ahead, I feel comfortable and relaxed, the colour is so pretty and very different from my usual choices!

I do need to find my purple glasses which will clash a little less with the coral pink :) 

Do you like the selections and are you looking forward to seeing what the clothing range is like?

Fatshin Faceoff - Floral Dress

This weeks Fatshion Faceoff was chosen by me and unfortunately I am so unwell today that I haven't managed to take any photos, so I am being a little naughty and showing you some older photos of me in my various floral dresses, the first is my newest dress and one of the favourites in my wardrobe.

I bought it from Simply Be not really knowing if I would like it but when it arrived I fell in love with it instantly, it is the Fit and flare mirror print dress form Simply Be and is inspired by D&G, it is not often us fatties get something so pretty and on trend! It is fully lined and a very nice material that is quite stiff, but not restricting.

Simply Be Fit and Flare Dress £70

My second floral dress is this beautiful maxi which I purchased with the gift voucher I received from Becky of http://www.doesmyblogmakemelookfat.com/ for filling out her survey, she ran a prize draw for everyone who filled it out.
I adore this dress but Haven't had much use of it yet as it is very long and I need to get it taken up a bit first, so will be getting it sorted soon, as I want to wear it this winter with long sleeved tops to and jumpers as it will cheer up my winter wardrobe!

Yours Clothing Navy Bird Print Maxi Dress £35

 My last floral Item is my Glamourosa tunic from Simply be which has a little ditzy floral print on it that is very pretty, I have had my tunic all summer and worn it to death and it it is now a bit too big for me, but I don't want to let it go so have been wearing it with a wide belt to cinch it in a bit.
If like me you have an ample bust the Glamourosa range is very good.
This one isn't available anymore but there is a purple long sleeved one available Here

So ladies do you do floral, do you like bold or discrete florals let me know below, and make sure you check out the other gorgeous ladies in there florals!
