Getting Twisted in this Vintage Blue Kiyonna Plus Size Dress

TWISTED! Every time I order a new dress from Kiyonna, I’m convinced that it can’t get any better than the one I had before…but IT DOES!! One of the newest styles is this Tantalizing Twist plus size dress. It’s got the great bust line that Kiyonna is known for (making the gals look fab!) and the bare shoulder cut outs that are having a moment right now. Of course, the waist line cinches in the silhouette while the fabulous draping on the skirt hangs just perfectly. This dress was made specifically to show off a curvy body. And can we talk about this dreamy vintage blue color??

To really set off this gorgeous blue color, I added a lighter turquoise and teal accessories. And you can’t go wrong with a fabulous flirty flower in your hair!

Voodoo Vixen Plus Size Retro Sailor Print Dress

Sometimes, nothing else will do but an adorable retro dress in a fabulous sailor print. This plus size sailor print dress from Voodoo Vixen* is everything my vintage-loving heart could desire! From the bright gorgeous red to the white scalloped sweetheart neckline and trims — I’m swooning! The nautical print is a mix of anchors and steering wheels which has me wanting to set sail — even though I get horrible motion sickness! If you haven’t heard of Voodoo Vixen, and you’re a vintage/retro-loving gal…get yourself to their website! They have a great selection of plus size and straight size styles in 30s, 40s, and 50s shapes and styles. You’ll be in heaven!

What I love about this adorable plus size retro dress: I’ve already talked about the charming nautical print. The full 50s silhouette is so great for women of all sizes — the nipped in belted waist with the sweetheart neckline is so flattering! And the cap sleeves are big enough for my arms, without being too big or gaping. I’m wearing a size 3X, since their dresses run a little snug — especially if you have a large bust. I’m in between a 2X/3X, so I opted to have a little more room. Bring on the boat parties! In a dress this cute, I am tempted to forget that I get motion sick and will sail away into the sunset!

Happy Easter! Welcoming Spring in Florals and Vintage Hats!

Happy Easter from Style Plus Curves! I’m celebrating spring with florals, florals, florals! Also…hats! I try to take any and all chances to wear a hat and gloves! The fashion scene is sadly lacking hats and Easter is one of the few times where people in the U.S. will wear them! So, here’s my perfect Easter Sunday outfit: this ASOS CURVE Wiggle Dress in Garden Floral Print and this vintage bonnet and vintage gloves. So fresh, so ladylike, so spring!

The 50s were all about cardigans, full skirts and coordinated looks. I absolutely HAD TO HAVE this Sailor Cardigan, which is sadly already sold out. Isn’t it adorable?
