IGIGI: Beautiful Clothes for Curvy Women: Review & Giveaway

Like I've mentioned previosly, I'm always on the lookout for beautiful, stylish clothes. But it can sometimes be a bit difficult being a curvy momma.

I was happy to team up with IGIGI, and try out one of their beautifully limited items of clothing. 

Igigi, is a fashion line made in San Francisco, CA and designed by Yuliya Raquel.  The best thing is that this line caters to women ranging from size 12-32.

One of my favorite items of clothing is a good little black dress, so I chose...

The Francesca dress in black in a size 12

I simply LOVE this dress!

I feel it's a timeless and seasonless piece.  I can wear it now or one year from now and it'll still look fabulous.  The dress can be worn for so many different occasions.  All you need to do is add the right shoes, purse, accesories and voila, it's a totally different dress.  This dress can also be worn off-the-shoulder, which makes it even more versatile.  I would so wear this for dinner and a movie with the hubby. 

The material is soft on the skin and does not cling to the body.  I can wear it with or without shapewear because the dress alone hides all  of my tiny imperfections.  I'm 5'6", so I found the dress just a tad bit too long for my taste, but regardless it's fabulous.  I chose the dress in black, because I'm just obssesed with the color and because it makes you look slimmer.  But, the dress is also available in royal color and it just happens to be on sale!  Depending on one's budget, some might find this dress a bit pricey but the use that someone could get out of the dress will seriously outweigh the price.

I'll definitely be wearing this dress for my birthday, the holidays, date-night and many ocassions more!

The most versatile little black dress! Add a belt and this basic little black dress goes from casual to chic in an instant.

Not sure about buying clothes online because you can never be sure how they'll look? Don't worry, IGIGI helps you choose!

I was worried about not being able to try on the dress before buying it, but IGIGI online has a fabulous online tool called the Shape Stylist Calculator that helps you find out what body type you are.  Then you can just choose the dresses that fit your specific body type.

If you're still looking for a great dress or accesories for the holidays with the family, a work party, an anniversary dinner or any occasion that you wish to feel like a million bucks then check out the whole IGIGI line over at http://www.igigi.com/, if not leave the page open on the hubby's computer so he knows what to get for you for Christmas :-)

Beautiful Clothes: Fashion to Figure

For those of you who don't know, I happen to be a curvy momma-just in case, that's not me in the picture.  The truth of the matter is that I love my curves! I also happen to love everything related to fashion. Of course, I love to buy clothes, but sometimes it can be a bit difficult to find pieces that'll fit you in all the right spots and look modern. Most of all, I find it very difficult to find cool and comfortable plus size jeans.

I was excited to find a cool looking pair of plus size jeans that actually fit courtesy of Fashion to Figure!

  As soon as I put on the jeans I felt great.  The jeans fit very nicely and were true to size-I really hate it when I try on my size of jeans and they seem like they were meant for somone 2 sizes smaller.  I'm 5'6" and these jeans were just the right length; I can wear them with all kinds of shoes.  Like many a women who have kids, after my son was born I was left with a tummy pooch so I often steer clear of low rise jeans.  But these jeans were high enough that they reach a little bit below my belly button and help me disguise my mommy pooch. 



The jeans have a cool, distressed design in the front.  I like the look because it makes you look edgy even if your wearing a plain black tee and flats.  But, at the same time you can also dress them up with a black tee, blazer, heels and silver jelwery.

The jeans also come with stud details close to the front pockets along with a few white stitches.  These details are also on the back pocket, which like I had mentioned previously give the jeans a modern edgy look.



Distressed Skinny Jean with Stud Details: These chic, comfortable Distressed Skinny Jeans with Stud Detail are a closet staple. The added stretch allows for easy movement and the stylish "boyfriend" distressed leg is versatile enough to wear with a sweatshirt or a sequin tank.

Fashion to Figure offers everything for us curvy women, from plus size jeans, tops and dresses to slacks, shorts and skirts all at an affordable price!

If you're still looking for what to wear over the holidays then make sure to visit Fashion to Figure.
