With my busy schedule of writing and working another full-time job, finding time to shop for myself has been on the back burner. So, I decided to try an online store where i could find styles that were similar to other stores I would shop at the mall. I found a shop at www.venus.com, and took a look at their selection. What I found was a pleasant surprise. I found color clothes for the curvy, and found this great summer dress that makes me look good! The dress I found is the Black Multi-Tie Dye Maxi, and it's predominantly the color I believe makes me look a lot thinner. A majority of the dress is black, and has a white design on each side which resembles a seashell. It's not overkill, and looks great since it's long. I didn't want to go with something that had too much print because I tend to find those types of dresses on more petite women, or women that are older. The more basic look and color scheme was just what I was looking for. I loved it to since it was an ankle length dress appropriate for church, work, or just a night out with my husband. This dress is great buy for the quality. The dress is well sewn and made from a combination of Acrylic and Polyester. It fits well, its comfortable and has a breathable fabric suitable for the warm weather, all for the fair price of $56. Everyone who likes it will be pleased to know it comes in sizes from 2 to 14.
The second shop I have grown to love is www.curvety.com. I love this shop and it's out of London, so make sure to choose your currency marker at the top before you buy so you will know how much you are spending. Curvety.com has everything from solid to pattern and I love it because they have from conservative to sexy. You can find a lot here including a bridal section. One of the dresses I liked here was the Cinch Dress in Purple. This style of dress works well for a fuller figure as it has a faux wrap style to it. This hides the imperfections and is very kind to your curves. It does come in other colors, but purple is my favorite so I just had to try it. I loved it, and it was well worth the price because it was something I could wear to church and to the office. It would even work well for a special occasion depending on the colors. The price you will find on curvety.com is seventy British pounds, which will equal out to around $106.93. I like the way the products are listed, so you can go to Day Dresses and search for this same selection. This dress works well for summer even thought it does have quarter length sleeves. Long sleeves I wouldn't do, but these work well in warmer weather since it is fifty percent cotton. This dress is comfortable and it moves well with you. The faux wrap on this dress will accentuate those curves to give you more of an hourglass figure. This dress ships immediately.
Last but not least, www.lanebryant.com is probably my overall favorite because I can always find something there. Their styles have come a long way since when they first started and they have a great summer dress I just love that is new on the list. The dress I purchased has a Twist Top, and it's a Printed Maxi Dress. Again, I love it because it's black and white, with a majority of the dress in black it helps accentuate any figure. I like the high waist as it will soften those curves, and hide the hippy look in a fuller figure woman. This dress is comfortable, and long, and will look great with the right pair of sandals. I love the solid top and print bodice, it really adds to the slimming affect of this dress, while the empire waist shows off your curves. Just go the website and choose dresses and skirts, and it's the first one listed naturally under top rated. I think this dress is great, all for the fair price of $79.50.
I think these websites are great to shop especially is you have a tight schedule, but it will help you browse for your summer wardrobe. Don't hide your curves ladies, without curves we wouldn't have scenic routes!
