Lately I have stated here quite how much I utterly depise this seasons fashion trends (which has even been picked up on by other blogs), indeed it seems life has played a cruel trick on me... I lose weight for my health and more importantly new clothes, only to discover that I fucking hate the clothes in the fucking shops right now!!!!! Flower prints, leggings, tunic tops and fucking smock tops are fucking every where and I fucking hate them. Burn them all.
This could of course be life also trying to prevent me from buying clothes now because when I reach my all important weightloss target, the clothes will available will be perfect... I say "life don't bother, haven't you heard of ebay?".
So this morning whilst leisurely reading the guardian online here in sunny Malta (I AM HOlIDAY -YAY) I was thrilled to read this little piece about uber mini skirts and how no one is buying them. Yes it seems that the public have rejected the current fashion trend of tiny teeny mini skirts and instead are buying en-masse - the MAXI DRESS...
So to celebrate this wonderful rejection of the mini-skirt I hereby present below the best maxi dresses I have found in plus sizes...
Simply Be - as per usual SB has gorgeous clothes and they actually have two lovely maxi dresses for you to choose from! This one is available in a pink print or black and the second one is in a vibrant orange print.
Sadly Evans only has one maxi dress at the moment, but there is a broken link on their home page called 'dresses' so I suspect there maybe more to come - the pictured dress on the link looks gorgeous - come on Evans - get your shit together!
La Redoute En Plus has this pretty dress - I am not sure that you could call it a maxi dress as it looks a little short, however if you are a very petite lady like me it will probably fall to below your ankles anyway.
American plus size clothing is always, always far superior to what is in England so if you are prepared to pay a bit more in postage and possibly import charges, check out Alight and more importantly their Blue Plate and Mile Gabrielle ranges to see Maxi Dress plus size heaven. Me personally I would go for the Candy Land dress from Blue Plate and the Pisces Dress from Mile Gabrielle.
For now I am going to try not to buy anymore clothes unless they are absoutely essential, as much as I am excited by my new size-16-dom, I now have the basics - I DO NOT NEED ANYMORE CLOTHES - REALLY RACHEL YOU DO NOT. Roll on the diet and the next season of clothes...
I recently posted this page on my site about plus size mini skirts amongst other items of womens clothing and it is receiving alot adsense clicks - I guess this means some people must be looking to wear these types of skirts!
