Yesterday I posted part 1 of the video Monif C created to show plus size women out there how to tie up the Monif C convertible dress, which is a super versatile garment. Today we’re posting the second part of the video, which shows you even more ways how to tie up the dress. Enjoy, and learn.
Remember you can find the convertible dress at Monif C online!
If you’re a woman with larger than a size ten foot, you’ve probably known the agony of a shopping trip to the mall with your girlfriends when everyone suddenly decides you should all stop and try on shoes. It’s a cliché–women LOVE shoes. Trying on shoes together is a classic modern-day female bonding experience–except when you’re the one that gets put in charge of watching everyone’s purse because the store doesn’t carry your size. Women whose feet reach beyond a socially acceptable length are faced with the dilemma of trying to cram their feet into size tens in something reminiscent of a Chinese foot-binding ritual, or else find a way to make giant sneakers and Birkenstock sandals look appropriate for a glamorous night out on the town. There’s no reason that women with plus-sized feet should still feel relegated to the flip-flop aisle at CVS. There are a few smart online retailers that are looking to corner the market on plus-sized footwear and are willing to cater to the needs of women who go beyond size ten.
Zappos.com
Zappos offers women’s shoes in half-sizes up to size 14 ½ and in full-sizes up to size 17. Zappos selection is pretty good through size 16 and then starts to get limited to sandals and sneakers in the larger sizes, but there are some exceptions. Zappos offers free-shipping on all orders inside the United States with no minimum purchase required. They even offer free shipping on any items that you want to return or exchange.
Payless Shoe Source
Payless Shoesource offers a wide variety of styles up to size 13, with no half-sizes after 11 ½ . Payless franchise stores are everywhere, and if they’re not where you are, you can order from Payless online. Payless definitely offers the most affordable option for women looking for large-size shoes. Some of their cutest shoes start at $7.99, and the store often offers “Buy One/Get One Half Off” sales to make the savings even bigger. If you’re ordering online, Payless offers a flat shipping rate of $5.95 for all orders, no matter how many items are included.
DesignerShoes.com
DesignerShoes.com probably offers the widest selection of large-size women’s shoes on the Internet. DesignerShoes.com carries half-sizes through size 11 ½ and full-sizes up to size 16. The selection diminishes as the shoe sizes get higher, but up to size 14 still has a pretty extensive selection of casual and dress shoes for the large-footed woman. DesignerShoes.com includes a bridal and prom section, a teen section, casual and dressy styles, and even a Vegan shoe selection. DesignerShoes.com offers free shipping within the United States for orders over $75.
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?
The convertible dress is Monif C’s best selling garment. It’s available in a multitude of colors and you can tie up this dress in over 50 different ways. If you have looked at this dress before, where tempted at buying it, and then got discouraged because you thought it would be way too complicated to tie up on your own, then you have to watch Monif C’s latest video. In this Monif C talks about hoe you can tie up the convertible dress, and an actual customer shows you ways how to tie this up in your own.
To be honest I am one of those who were once very tempted to purchase this convertible dress, but thought it was way too complicated. Though this video definitely shed some hope! I haven’t bought it yet… but I am thinking about it! Will definitely keep you updated.
Watch out for part 2 of the video coming up tomorrow, which shows your even more ways how to tie up this dress.

Plus size comedian and actress Mo’Nique won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in ‘Precious’, yesterday during the 82nd Academy Awards.
I think she looked stunning in her gown! Will post more later on this week about the fashions worn at the Oscars, but had to post about Mo’Nique’s great accomplishment first.
This is what she had to say after winning the Oscar…
“I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics. … Thank you so much to my amazing husband, Sidney. Thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forgo doing what’s popular in order to do what’s right. And baby, you were so right.”

The Joyce Print Blouse features the same print found in the Jocelyn dress, but is accentuated with flattering ruffles, and is a piece which can easily take you from day to night. The blouse is available in sizes 1X to 6X.
