I’m pretty sure a lot of you, me included, have hesitated to wear white. Especially an all white and a fitted style. I feel like I was always told to not wear white as a bigger girl as it is not flattering and it would only point out my lumps and bumps, unlike wearing black which is supposed to camouflage those areas. Well this isn’t so. I believe it’s more about the style of the outfit and how you wear it rather than the colour of the garment.
Whilst I was in the U.S I went to the All White Cruise for Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City. The women on this boat looked amazing, fierce and full of confidence. There were so many white dresses and so many different body shapes, and yet they all looked incredible wearing white.
This is the dress I initially intended to wear however last minute changed my mind as I had a feeling somebody else would be wearing it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be super hot as it was summer in NYC and I sweat so very easily… story of my life!
I bought this dress online and had it waiting for me for when I arrived. I was scared that the fit might not work for me so luckily I had a back up outfit. But when I tried it on I was really happy that I chose the right size as it fit!
I’ve noticed a lot of tops at the moment have the tie front style and this dress has it all the way from the top to the bottom. This is what caught my eye. I love the tie up look. I like the long sleeves as it allows the dress to have a classy look yet sexy look.
Now the only concern I will have is keeping it white. I’m not saying that every time I eat I manage to splash food on my clothing, no, I’m not saying that I sit wherever and don’t look before I sit down, no. I’m saying that I may possibly need to be a little more careful than usual. Yeah I can manage that!
Oh and yes, there was a girl on the cruise that rocked this dress and she looked great!
