Here’s a look at three of the newest items just added this week:
Maxi dresses have been in fashion for quite a while now. I remember even last summer seeing many ladies wearing gorgeous maxi dresses, they were quite the must have item. Well it seems like this trend is still going strong, and these type of dresses remain a must have item for Spring and Summer this year.
I must say I am one to have mixed feelings about this trend. I love how maxi dresses look in general, they are so feminine, have a gorgeous flow to them, most come is fun prints and they look super comfortable on the whole as well! However I think they do not suit all body types, including mine. Maybe the maxi dresses I tried one where the wrong ones? Not sure, but I remember when I tried one one I felt like I was wearing a tent. Mine you this particular one have a very wide pleated skirt. So that wasn’t a great first try.
Even though I am apprehensive about them, I love the way they look and I am adamant that one will have to suit me and flatter my figure. I think the key element plus size women need to remember when looking for maxi dresses, is that the actual skirt needs to be moderately wide… it should not make you look like a walking tepee, but it have to hug your figure, but still be slightly flowing.
I came across these three plus size maxi dresses from Yours Clothing which seem to fit the bill, and I am very tempted to order the animal print one, show below. Have a look at these options… which one is your favorite? It is also the animal print one? And what is, in your opinion as a plus size lady, your feeling towards maxi dresses?

This piece features a shirred bust, with shoulder straps and an all over animal print in black and white. This make a perfect summer addition to your closet! Team it up with a bag, some funky jewelry, sandals and you’re good to go!

‘This Mornings Showbiz’ reporter and ex-Big Brother (UK) house mate Alison Hammond is currently collaborating with Yours Clothing on a clothing line which is due to be launched shortly!
Alison will be selecting a range of clothes to create the “Alison Hammond for Yours Clothing” – a range of real clothes for real women. The upcoming range reflects Alison and Yours Clothing’s passion for promoting on-trend fashionable clothes for real women just like her and the range will be available exclusively online at www.yoursclothing.co.uk.
I had a chance to speak with Alison briefly yesterday about this exciting new line, and this is what she had to say: “Yours Clothing asked me to choose a range, and I really wanted to choose a real range for real women! It’s a range that will fit but flatter, be quality on trend, but at a good price!”
She’s the UK’s biggest star and 2008’s ‘Most Popular TV Presenter’. Alison has notched up over 7 years on UK screens as the people’s favourite with a personality you can never forget!
It’s her unforgettable charm and sense of fun that rate her number one with the celebrities too: she’s tap danced with Renee Zellwegger, rapped with Will Smith, jammed with Russell Crowe and had Pierce Brosnan begging for more. Known for her quick wit, style and big heart, nobody gets a better interview than Alison.
Alison is also an accomplished actress having appeared in various TV dramas, notably: Boon, Chalkface, Locksmith, Yes and 3 series of the BAFTA awards winning Palace Hill. She’s larger than life and she’s ready to take Yours Clothing by storm.

Here is Kiyonna’s latest addition, the stylish Jada Faux Wrap Dress that I am loving today.
This simple and yet very figure flattering faux wrap silhouette features a modern mosaic print in shades of green, blue, white and black. The uniquely angled kimono sleeves add a sense of chic style to this dress. This dress retails at $116 and is available in sizes OX (10-12) to 5X (30-32).
Besides these colors, this dress is also available in a floral print featuring shades of red, black and white, pictured below. Another goregeous option, though I think I prefer the green mosaic one as it includes a very unique mix of colors. Which one do you prefer?

Check out the video below for a close look at both of these dresses:
