Wedding Bells Ringing
Hearing wedding bells? If you are planning your wedding, the last thing you need is added expenses. If you are a plus size woman who wants to look fabulous on her wedding day, and dressing up the bridesmaids in gorgeous dresses, without breaking the bank, I suggest you take a look at the bridal collection at IGIGI.
IGIGI carry a select number of unique items within their bridal wear collection, which are created to flatter the curvaceous figure, helping you look like a star on your big day. So you can look great, make a lasting impression (on the guests, as well as the groom 
) whilst keeping within budget. Take a look at some of my favorite dresses:
- Lace Wedding Gown – If I were getting married tomorrow, this is the dress I would choose. It is a gorgeous lace dress, very romantic and a dream at only $229.
- Chloe Lace Gown in Ivory – Another extremely elegant piece, the contrasting lining featured in this dress create a wonderful feeling of sophistication for a feminine look. Only $219.
- Exquisite Evening Gown in White/White – This Grecian inspired iridescent gown and will without a doubt make you a start on your special day. Only $189!
Don’t fret about your bridesmaids, as IGIGI has got them covered as well! Just visit the bridal collection at IGIGI to take a look at the gorgeous dresses available for your wedding party.
If you’re in need of a little inspiration, remember that this summer the trend is mixing up the styles for your bridesmaids, using the same dress in different colors. Let’s say you choose the Exquisite Evening Gown in White/White for yourself. Why not get the Exquisite Evening Gown in Blue/Sky Bluefor your bridesmaids, this will create a sharp contrast that will look bold and very stylish.

Maurice’s Stores Add Plus Size Line
In a bid to widen their store offerings to plus size women all over the U.S., Maurice’s stores have started adding a new plus size section to their collections. In fact, out of their 575 stores across the U.S., three-fourths of them will now include a plus size section which will focus on sizes 16 to 24. With a lot of customers coming in for this new plus size range, just a few days after its introduction, Maurice’s are already calling this company-wide launch a success. It is great to see more stores adding a plus size range to their store offerings. Besides opening up new fashion choices to plus size women, such initiatives also encourage other stores to expand their range of apparel and accessories to accommodate the curvier side of the nation. Kudos to Maurice’s!

It has been a few month now since I discovered Just As Beautiful magazine, an online free magazine hailing from the UK dedicated to plus size women. This truly is a magazine with a difference, and one of the reasons why I like it is because it is real. It features stories written by and created for big beautiful women, and topic covered range from fashion, health, beautiful and entertainment issues.
This weekend the May issue of Just As Beautiful magazine was sent out to subscribers, and it is chock full of interesting stuff including:
- A great piece on how Trinny and Susannah (two famous UK stylists) teach a plus size couple what to wear, and what to stay away from!
- A story on how Lisa Marie and Cher Rue, founders of Club Bounce, met and started off on a great journey of curvy success.
- A piece on Britain’s largest teenager, a 34 stone 19 year old, who recounts some tough times she passed through, during what was supposed to be the best time of her life.
- A great real life story of how diet pills nearly turned a woman’s life into a horror story!
If you would like to add more to your plus size focused reading, then definitely add Just As Beautiful magazine to your list of ‘to read items’!
