Fatshion Faceoff - Patterned/Crazy Legwear

This weeks Fatshion Faceoff has been so much fun, its fallen on halloween which is fantastic and it has pushed me so far out of my comfort zone im on a whole new continent!

Now as some of you may have gathered from previous posts I am just embarking on an open university degree which means a whole heap of self study and a very exhausted me, but im not sure if I mentioned I am doing a Natural sciences honours degree and im thinking of taking an astronomy and planetary sciences pathway with it, so my choice for tonight was an easy one :)

I chose these Galactic Sky tights from Pamela Mann, I cant find them on the site anymore, but they have the most amazing selection of plus size tights and there are so many I need to buy!

My only negative about them it the waist band is rubbish and has no real elasticity to it so I would have to wear a fitted pair of knickers over the top to keep them up! but they feel beautiful and strong and silky soft.

As its halloween I went for a witchy look just wish I could have found a witches hat to wear with it :)

I teamed it with my Grazia lace dress which I received for review last year from simply Be and my £3 Newlook shoes as I thought the studs looked a bit starry.

I adore my new tights and need to find excuses to wear them!

Simply Be Review 3

Grazia Lace Tunic Dress Review


For my Final review from Simply Be I chose the beautiful Grazia Lace Tunic dress, It is such a pretty dress.


I was planning to wear it last friday which was my 9 Year wedding anniversary, but due to circumstances, we didn't make it out that night, so will be going out to celebrate in the new year, but I wanted to show you just how gorgeous this dress is.

Grazia Lace Tunic Dress - Simply Be

Belt - Evans

Shoes - Nine West

Tights - Tesco

Please excuse how awful I look I have had a very busy day, the colour of the dress is divine and feels gorgeous on, I ordered this in a 22 and agin should have got the 20, but I love how it skims over me rather than being clingy, and the only real issue with the larger size is that the sleeves come up very big on me, but I have some excellent friends, who are fab with a sewing machine so will ask them to make them a bit tighter on me.


The under slip has adjustable length straps, which for me is very important and feels nice against my skin. I chose to add a belt to pull it in a bit under my bust put it looks equally lovely without it, and has a satin tie back.

The colour of the slip is lovely and rich but I love that it can be removed and I could pop a different colour slip under the dress for a different effect, I have my green one from my Zandra Rhodes dress review but that might be a bit bright!

The pattern of the lace is also very pretty.


If I had the chance to talk to the designers I would ask them to make the sleeves a bit more fitted and also simple things like black labels inside the dress as it irritates me having to cut them out because they are white.


But other than that it really is a stunning dress I felt instantly sexy and comfortable in this dress and cant wait to get it on for a night out with my husband.


At the moment the dress is also in the sale for £32 but they are getting low on stock, so snap it up quick, and I would definitely buy from the Grazia range again.


Love Mhairi. xxx
