Being a lover of clothes (if you hadn’t noticed!) It’s always a little bit frustrating when you see a gorgeous piece that’s not available in your size. It’s not even like you can go on the waiting list or check in another store, it’s because that brand simply doesn’t do my size. I was about to write a paragraph going into the politics of sizing etc but I don’t want to go THAT deep although ti would be incredibly easy. Anyone would think Weight Watchers pay brands to not size up as a business pact or something. No! I’m not doing politics. Anyway, the lovely Debz came up with an idea where we should write about particular pieces that we would have bought, if they were available in our size. I thought this was a great idea so myself and some other fab blogger babes have joined in on a little fun post with a slightly serious undertone.
First up is Missguided. Now, I have to give props to Missguided as they have recently launched a plus size range. So a BIG round of applause, because not only is it plus size but the range is pretty awesome too. The only issues I have are that the plus size range only goes up to a 24, this is fine for me, but I know lots of other plus size fashionistas where this will simply not do. As well as the fact that a size never always rings true, so I may well need to size up! Also, as usual the range is a fraction of the ‘straight’ collection. Regardless, this is what I would have spent… if they were in my size!
1. Jenzine Pleated Skirt Lace Dress 2. Bugsy Pussycat Blouse 3. Plus Size Paint Splash Skirt 4. Monochrome Tux Dress 5. Zip Detail Check Shift Dress
I love all of these pieces, especially number 5! They all go up to a size 14 or 16, apart from number 3 the plus size splash skirt. Now, my gripe with this is that I love it! I ordered it and there was a mix up so it didn’t arrive. Now it’s out of stock in the larger sizes. Yes my heart is crushed! I have ordered a few bits from Missguideds plus size range and I will definitely be a returning customer. I just want more… more I tell you and lots in stock please!
