Where to buy plus size bodycon {woot woo}
Welcome plus size bodycon shoppers! You’ve come to the right place, but first, there’s something I want to say. Wearing a bodycon dress when you’re a fat woman takes a certain amount of stubbornness.

There hasn’t been much opportunity for getting dressed up around here lately. I’ve been busy and when I do get out, it’s usually in something casual. So when this stunning skirt from Alison Dominy Designs (gifted to me by the team, more about that later) arrived I knew it was time to get my hair…
