Plus Size Dresses – Baby, It’s Hot Outside!

June 30th, 2010 by Catherine | No Comments | Filed in Plus Size Fashion

Wooo, it’s a warm one out there!!  My surefire way to keep cool – and cute – on a hot day is to wear a dress.  Dresses touch as little skin as possible while still being exceptionally flattering.  Plus, the skirt has built in air conditioning ;)   Here are a couple of my favorites for the season.   How do you keep cool??

Summer Lovin’

April 23rd, 2010 by fanny | 1 Comment | Filed in beauty

I am sure you know by now that I am a dress girl.  Thru and thru.  I was poking around on La Grande Dame and I see three summer maxis that are a must have!  One is by my favorite Anna Scholz.  Black, white and frilly all over.  It’s a soft t-shirt material and it makes you feel super tall and sexy.  Olivia Harper makes a sweet maxi that is perfect for a summer brunch or a shower.  I love this dress with some aged brown sandals and a Louis Vuitton!  My mommy, yes I said mommy, just gave me this dress because she knows I can rock it with the bump.  Melissa Masse is a genius!  This dress is so colorful and soft and it drapes in a beautiful way over my curves!

Melissa Masse

April 15th, 2010 by fanny | 2 Comments | Filed in Plus Size Fashion

Of course being a fashionista, I keep searching for the perfect dress.   I don’t have to look too far because I know my lovely ladies over here at La Grande Dame will have the most perfect one for me!  One of the designers in their wonderful collection is Melissa Masse.

Melissa started out by designing for Donna Karen and Richard Tyler.  Her line was launched in 2002 after she listened to her friends and had a amazing idea.  She thought about making custom clothing for every day wear!  How simple and brilliant is that?  She described her clothing as custom tailoring with a “sweet” side and an East Coast sensibility!  Who wouldn’t want something off the rack that feels like it was tailored to your body?

I LOVE THAT!  So, I did what any girl would do, headed on over to my favorite webstore and placed an order for some goodies!  Because I will be sporting a bump for the next few months, I thought this beauty would be a good investment!

The Banded Sheath is also so beautiful I may order it for a future date!

Anna + Baby Bump?!

April 9th, 2010 by fanny | 1 Comment | Filed in Plus Size Fashion

So I am pregnant!  Yes.. totally unexpected.. the doctor told me I am farther along than I thought…which leaves me now to start finding plus size maternity!

I recently (read: before I got the news) ordered two Anna Scholz dresses from our lovely ladies at La Grande Dame .  I am so thrilled to know that these dresses were a great investment!  I am loving the fact that one is the Heart Jersey Oragami Wrap Dress and can totally be worn from now until my 9th month!

The other dress is the 70s’s Plait Belt Dress.  I felt so sexy when I put this dress on and I know it will also take me through to my 7th month.  The sleeves have slits, the waist is elastic, and the dress just makes me feel pretty!  There will come a day when I am feeling roly poly, and I will put one of these beauties on and voila!  There is a sexy pregnant woman in high end fashion!
