George at Asda Maxi Dresses - Summer 2014

Around four years ago, when I started regularly wearing dresses for the first time since being a teenager, the first dresses I favoured were maxi dresses. They are so easy to wear, with their long, flowing skirts that go all the way down to the floor. However, over the past few years I have mostly moved away from maxis and instead favoured midi or knee length dresses as I feel they work better for my figure overall. I do still have a few maxis in my wardrobe, including some gorgeous numbers from plus size US brand IGIGI and boob friendly Polish brand BiuBiu, but they usually only get worn when I go on holiday or on a more formal occasion.

This summer, I decided to see if I could find a few everyday maxis out of which I would get more frequent wear. I came upon this decision when I was browsing the rails of my local Asda Living, where they have a reasonable range of clothing available, and quite a few maxi dresses. I tried a few dresses on in store, bought some of them, and then when subsequently back at home I ordered more online to collect from the store a couple of days later.

IGIGI By Yuliya Raquel Natasha Dress

Back in the summer I was lucky enough to review the gorgeous Naime maxi dress from IGIGI By Yuliya Raquel.  It was so beautiful and the fabric so luxurious that ever since I have been itching to get my hands on more from this brand.

I was contacted a few weeks ago by the lovely people at IGIGI who offered me the chance to try a dress from their latest collection.  I went with the Siren dress in Tanzanite but unfortunately it ended up being too small on my boobs and too big on the waist.

Not to be beaten, IGIGI very kindly said I could try something else and after some advice from Yuliya Raquel herself it was agreed that I should try the Natasha dress in size 12 US/16 UK with an Obi Belt to bring in the waist.

For some time now, I have been a huge fan of the gorgeous dresses and separates available from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel.  I have previously blogged about the stunning Naime maxi dress I tried back in the summer and I have been longing to try more dresses ever since.

A few weeks ago I was offered the chance to try the Siren Dress in Tanzanite.

IGIGI Naime Maxi Dress

It's been a little while since I did a non-lingerie post so I decided it was about time I told you about some of the clothes I have been trying out recently.

Last month, I was invited to attend a very posh evening do with work so the hunt was on for an appropriate dress to wear.
