There’s a new plus size online boutique in town…and it’s my pleasure to introduce you to them! Meet LIVD Apparel – a contemporary clothing brand carrying a curated selection of bold, fabulous plus size clothes in sizes 1X-3X. I got the chance to try two pieces from their new collection – and WOW – I was blown away! Here’s a review of this new plus size retailer!

Jim Lee, the co-founder of L I V D reached out to me to introduce his company and I was immediately struck by their “origin story.” Jim was inspired by Tim Gunn’s article in the Washington Post a few years ago where he called out American designers and their refusal to make clothes to fit the majority of American women. Jim knew from first-hand experience that fashion was a powerful tool to build confidence and didn’t understand why more retailers weren’t catering to the plus size market. So, he was inspired to start LIVD as a way of bringing more options to this underserved retail segment.

I loved Jim’s inspiration story – and after I saw the small but mighty selection of items that he stocked on the site, I knew he was on to something! I decided to try two dresses to get a sense of the quality and sizing of the brand. So I ordered both dresses in a 3x.

Bella Donna Plus Size Gown with Ribbon Details and Puffed Out Sleeves

What really stood out to me about this Bella Donna gown was the fabulous red color, the long voluminous skirt and the bow detail at the neck.

When I received the dress and tried it on, I was impressed with the thick material. It is a substantial, thicker fabric that laid very smoothly over my curves. It absolutely makes an impression – and if fit me like a glove!

Fiona Flutter Sleeve Plus Size Dress

Apparently, I’m really feeling these high necklines with big bow details (and so is LIVD Apparel)!

The Fiona Flutter Sleeve Dress also makes quite an impact! The exaggerated sleeves and the body-con silhouette give this dress a powerful presence!

It definitely hugged my curves and I had quite a time getting into the dress (there are no zippers!). But once I got the dress on, I was in love!

I loved both of these dresses! First of all – they are bold with statement-making details and strong silhouettes. The sizing might be inconsistent from product to product (Jim warned me of this) but I was really pleased with the sizing on both of these dresses. I could have used a little more room in the tummy section, but I felt like a million bucks! xoxox
