Dating As A Plus Size Person In 2024

Dating as a plus-size person can be difficult. It is easy to understand why: a fear of fat bodies from society, sometimes a lack of self confidence from women who are fat. There's a variety of factors that do make dating as a plus women (and even man / whatever gender you are) hard.

Confidence is something all of us have at certain degrees. Some have little, some have a lot, but one thing I'm certain of is we all have it. The one way that I love to express my confidence is lingerie. I wear it for myself, and of course share with my partner (and the world on social media.) There's just something about a good piece of lingerie that shows off your body that's empowering, sexy and fierce.

Tuttirouge - Perfect Plus Size Lingerie

Someone once said to me "Michaela you're signature style and go to look for me is always a piece of lingerie, either on it's own or teamed with jeans.' And well Tutti Rouge certainly make it easy to not step away from that opinion. Their comfy but modern styles are an absolute must for your lingerie draw.

Yet Again LoveHoney Plus Is A Winner

Okay okay, some of you are sickkkkkk of seeing me in lingerie, where as the majority probably aren't. But hey, this is work, and I want other women/men/whatever gender you identify with to feel FABULOUS whatever they wear. And well I don't push or promote anything I don't love. 

Peak District Get Away With Buy A Gift

Just the other week I treated my friend and myself to a spa getaway courtesy of Buy A Gift. Tucked away in the Peak District, Lose Hill House is the perfect place to escape, with everything you could need on site.

The Curve Fashion Festival 2018

An event I will always and forever shout out, support and hold close to my heart is the Curve Fashion Festival (see the previous posts here TCFF15 & TCFF17 ). Run by two incredible girl boss ladies, they constantly put plus size fashion and plus size people to the fronts of their minds, to accommodate and welcome year on year. The event is in its fourth year and really has no signs of slowly down or getting any smaller.

Florals For Spring?

Okay Spring is upon on us (let's forget the beast from the East episode right?) and although I don't tend to drift towards florals, when I spotted these two dress styles from Fashion world I had to try them.

Heist - Your New Favourite Tights

The struggle for good quality, fitting tights is real as a plus size woman (or man.) One's that will pull up to your waist, where the gusset sits where it should and not half way down your thigh. Where you're not constantly pulling at the waistband as they slide down with each step. Well I think I have the answer.

My New Favourite Chub Rub Solution - Chaffree

Ladies (and gentlemen) hands up who suffers from the dreaded chub rub? Okay yeah look around coz a lot of us do. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but I dread nothing more than wearing the wrong shorts/tights and getting home to the burn and the discomfort where my thighs have rubbed themselves together.

Happy New Yogi

I've dabled in lots of classes, gone swimming and hit the gym, but one type of exercise is one I've tried, tested, and although I loved, didn't quite stick to. Meaning to try again, I was invited by the wonderful Donna of CurveSomeYoga to a Yoga class held in South London to try and test again.

Plus Equals Cleo Co Ord Set

Okay so I'll admit I purchase on a whim and sometimes don't take in to consideration how that brand has treated it's plus size customer. 

The plus pound as I like to call it is something brands are cashing in on, and some are cashing in only to hear the chings in the till, rather than actually producing ranges that fit, where the quality and design are amazing, and to just simply want to support us they customer at all (i.e currently still showing size 12 models showing off the clothing- Campaigns that don't feature plus babes.)

In The Style Curve - Day Edition

I really don’t like to compromise on style. I’ll happily freeze in order to look good. I remember I used to wear the most ridiculous shoes in winter and freeze my feet off (probably why I have bad problems with circulation and keeping them warm.) so when I come across items that not only make me look stylish but keep me warm I’m sold.

In The Style Curve Night Time Glam

I can’t speak highly enough of In The Style Curve. Since they've launched just over a year ago, the collection has offered plus size customers fashionable, affordable clothing. I do find some of the dresses on the short side, but I am 5ft 10. But I’ve been nothing but impressed by the quality and fit of items I own.

Winter Isn't Coming......It's Here With Yours Clothing

If you've been like me and for most of October and November you've been wearing a leather jacket, bare legs and not felt the cold, well the last week would have changed all of that....because well Winter is well and truely here.

All Wrapped Up With Yours Clothing

The nights are drawing in, and with it comes the grey miserable days and the cold weather. I have a love hate relationship with the transition from summer to Autumn, Autumn to Winter. I love the leaves turning copper shades, the crisp air with blue skies, hot chocolate and wrapping up in a scarf. I dislike the cold, grey miserable weather and the change of wardrobe. I never quite get it right. Is it cold enough for a thick coat? Will I boil on the tube and rushing around London?

My Top Tips For Getting Ready For A Girls Night Out In London

So we all love a night out. Whether every weekend or just once in a blue moon, a chance to let our hair down, dress up, and have a boogie (alcohol not compulsory) there's no denying we all need that break. So I’m talking you through my outfit and general preparation for when I hit the town. Living in London there is literally everything catered for whatever taste you have. Music wise, setting wise, drinks wise, food wise. I’m very lucky to spoilt for choice.

Quiz Curve - The New Plus Size Range In Town

Quiz clothing has always caught my eye on the high street but alas not being able to fit in their clothes, I have often discarded them as a brand and have just had to resort to my friends wearing their clothes for me. But on 1^st march this year ( yes Saint Davids day – Welsh and proud) the brand took a leap in to the world of plus size fashion and launched their first ever collection QUIZ Curve.

Seaside Glam With Yours Clothing

Before we start, yes I’m the girl who went to the seaside in heels and stood in the sand. Not that these shoes needed it but they it was so comfy and surprisingly easy to walk in. Now that’s over let’s talk about this incredible outfit from Yours clothing. I can’t talk enough about embroidery and I’m so glad it’s here to stay this season. Updating a striped shirt the combo of print and pattern set’s it apart.

It's All In The Embroidered Detailing - New Look Curve

It’s certainly all in the details, and I love this look. A little sexy with the mesh and bra peeping through, casual and comfy with jeans and an oversized coat with trainers. A look that’s pretty easy to take from day to night with a few simple changes. New Look Curve really are dropping some must have pieces. As well as catering for basics, they have a few surprises pieces that jump out. This top was no exception. I’d been after something mesh with the embroidery on top ever since setting my eyes on the Ann Summers body suit (no way was that getting over my bum. But as soon as I saw this is was a fantastic alternative.

All Eyez On Me - Forever 21+ Eye Print Bodysuit

‘He was the realest, I was the baddest, we was the illest When he approached me, I said, "Yo what the deal is?"’ All eyes are definitely on me with this eye print body suit from Forever 21+. A brand I can’t stop buying from. As announced in my last post, they finally have brought it back to buy in store in the UK, at their Oxford Street Branch.
