Lucabella Red Black Panelled Cowl Neck Tunic M

Earlier this year, I attended the inaugural British Plus Size Fashion Weekend.  During the main event on the Saturday, I got the opportunity to speak with a number of plus size fashion brands from all over the world.

One of the brands who were particularly friendly and easy to talk to were Lucabella, who had come all the way from New Zealand in order to attend the event.  To me, that demonstrates their commitment to working with plus size women to produce clothing that works for them and, having spoken to the team, I can confirm their passion to make a success of their brand.

IGIGI By Yuliya Raquel Phyllis Maxi Dress US 12 UK 16

Maxi dresses are great. They are wearable all year round and can be worn casually or for a fancy soirée - it all depends on the dress itself and the accessories you choose to wear with it.  I love a good maxi and have reviewed several on my blog in the past.

A few months ago, I was sent the Phyllis Maxi Dress by the fab team at IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel:

Trying It On With Fuller Figure Fuller Bust's Pinup Girl Clothing Collection

Have you ever wanted to try on your friends' clothes?  I often see my pals looking uber-glamorous and can get some serious dress envy...so anytime I get the chance to try things on for myself I leap at the chance! 

Back in March I had the pleasure of spending the evening with the beautiful Georgina of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust and her boyfriend, Robbie.  George made us a yummy dinner and then we talked for a while before I could resist no longer and proceeded to raid her wardrobe!

Evans Black Embellished Kaftan

A few weeks ago I was approached by Evans to see if I'd like to review something from their swimwear range.  Unfortunately I was sized out of their bikinis, swimdresses and swimsuits because I need a small back and large cup (Evans swimwear is available in dress sizes 14-32 and in cup sizes C-D, DD-E and F-G) so I would have found them too large in the back but too small in the cup.  

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.

IGIGI By Yuliya Raquel Siren Dress in Tanzanite

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.
