Ignoring the size on the tag...

I had no intention of posting this dress, or even posting at all today (please don't expect daily posts, my life is not THAT interesting), I didn't intend to dip into any previous outfits for this blog but I've gotten a few inquires on my dress I posted on IG & FB Saturday night from a 80's party I went to.

The REAL reason I wanted to highlight this ASOS dress I purchased last summer (currently sold out) is because it comes from ASOS straight sizes. This dress below is a size 12 and I'm NOT a size 12.

I've always shopped in Non-Plus size sections of stores and always assumed full figured women knew it was an option. If you look at the material and cut of a garment, you should generally be able to tell if it fits before even trying it on. A lot of clothes made from viscose, elastin and spandex have a great amount of stretch (sometimes up to 4-5 size the actual size listed).

I can't guarantee it will fit or is altogether comfortable, but if you don't mind form fitting styles (clearly I love em) and showing off your curves, venture out of the "Plus Size Only" section and see what you can find.

*dress - Asos* *Shoes - Pink Jessica Simpson Waleo* *Clutch - Michael Kors* * Jewelry - Forever 21 & Marc Jacobs* *Jean jacket - Gap (I didn't tatter this, I've just had it since 8th grade)*



A few popular stores I've run across that are not defined as Plus-Size yet have a wide range in certain styles.

 

Express

Old Navy

Bebe

Gap

H&M

 

I encourage you to still try something on if you're not sure and know you're measurements. That's the best way until you're comfortable and sure you know your body and how clothes fit you.
