Stitch Fix Plus Size: Review of My Latest Stitch Fix Plus Size Box

June 15, 2018 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Stitch Fix Plus Size: Review of My Latest Stitch Fix Plus Size Box

I’m totally in love with the Stitch Fix Plus Size Clothes I’ve been getting in my Stitch Fix boxes.  Seriously…each one is better than the last!  I got another Stitch Fix box this week and it was amazing!  I was really tempted to keep everything in my box!  It’s gotten to the point that rather than going shopping for what I need, I send a note to my Stitch Fix stylist with the items I need and then request another Stitch Fix box.  I know that sounds crazy, but with my busy schedule it’s been a lifesaver!

Stitch Fix Plus Size Clothes from my June Box

The first top I tried on from my Stitch Fix box is this gorgeous top from Papermoon.  I’m a huge fan of animal print and I also like a cold shoulder top that’s cut to allow me to wear my Ruby Ribbon cami. What really sold me on the top though was the strap details on the back!  Isn’t this top so fun!?!

The denim shorts I’m wearing also came from this box. I’ve been struggling to find a pair of plus size denim shorts that don’t look like they should be worn by a 70 year old lady or a 12 year old girl.  There just didn’t seem to be much out there in terms of plus size denim shorts. The shorts were actually the whole reason I requested this box, so I was thrilled that they fit so well.  They were a great length (although a little longer than what I’d typically wear).

Next up was a Plus Size blouse from 41 Hawthorn.  My stylist knows I love all things polka dotted, so she sent this blouse.

I really wanted to love this top, but I think it’s too big and not at all flattering.  I’m wearing the denim shorts again with this top.  I also think this blouse looks weird in the back.

My stylist also sent 2 fabulous plus size dresses.

This first dress is a plus size t-shirt dress.  I absolutely loved the fabric and the cut.  The only problem was that it’s too big. It looks way better in the picture than it does in person.

I love the combo of cold shoulder and ruffled sleeves!

Last but definitely not least is this plus size dress.  It fits like a dream.  The only drawback is the color & pattern combo.  It’s totally not what I’d normally wear.

I tend to go with bolder patterns and I’m not a big fan of anything peach or orange.

But it seriously fits like a dream!!!  I really wish it was available in another color and pattern!

See what I mean? What do you think of my Stitch Fix Plus Sizes clothes box?   What should I keep???

Considering Stitch Fix? Here’s the deal:

If you’ve never tried Stitch Fix, here’s how it works.  You sign up and then fill out a questionnaire about your sizes, your style preferences and more.  They even ask you how much you like to spend on various pieces of clothing so they can send you a box that fits your budget. Then you choose how frequently you want to receive your style fixes.  Once you’ve done all that, schedule the date you want your fix to arrive and sit back and wait.  Your personal stylist will take into account your likes and dislikes and will get your box ready to go.  Then once your box arrives, you’ll have 3 days to decide what you want to keep and what you want to send back.  There is a $20 styling fee, but when you decide to keep an item in your box, your $20 styling fee is applied to that purchase.  If you decide to keep everything in your box, they offer you 25% off your entire purchase.  If there are items in your box that you want to send back, simply use the prepaid envelope to ship them back.  It’s easy peasy!

How To Pick Flattering Plus Size Sweaters

November 10, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

How To Pick Flattering Plus Size Sweaters

I love the cold season and the fact that I can wear sweaters more often, but sometimes it can be tough to pick flattering plus size sweaters.  Since I’ve been down this road a few times in the past, I thought I would share some great tips to help you find the right sweater to flatter your figure while also keeping you warm.

Don't miss our tips for How To Pick Flattering Sweaters For Plus Size Figures.  These great plus size fashion tips will help you to look great this winter!

How To Pick Flattering Sweaters For Plus Size Figures

Avoid fussy patterns and thick textures.  I love a fun pattern on clothing, but sometimes it can be a tough thing to pull off when you are wearing an already bulk adding sweater.  With thick textures like cable knit, you can find even more frustration with the appearance of added pounds.

  • Choose solid colors over patterns for a more slimming look.
  • Pick smaller patterns instead of big patterns to avoid the bulky look.
  • Avoid thick cable knit textures that add bulk to your body.
  • Layer sweaters with blouses or long sleeved tees underneath to avoid the thick bulky textures.

Know when to buy fitted or loose styles.  The style of sweater you buy can make a big difference in how you look.  Sweaters for plus size figures don’t have to be big and bulky or made to cover problem areas.  You can find amazing fitted sweaters ideal for business wear that are also super flattering to a plus size figure.

  • Look for slim fitted styles to go over a blouse and wear with dress pants, jeans, or a skirt for a pulled together look that flatters curves while adding warmth and style.
  • Choose longer loose fit sweaters for wearing over skinny jeans or leggings with boots for a casual but comfortable look. I absolutely love the LuLaRoe Sarah sweater! It’s the perfect long sweater and it looks awesome with pencil skirts, dresses or jeans!

Purchase the right neckline for your figure.  This is something I learned many years ago and have discovered really can change an entire look.  Necklines on blouses and sweaters can add or subtract pounds in an instant.

  • V-neck sweaters are ideal for those with a larger chest.  If the v-neck is not too low, it will help draw the eyes to the neck and face and away from the larger chest.  However, a low v-neck can accentuate the bosom and help make it look larger.  A classic simple v-neck is great for plus size or larger busted women, while a deep plunging v-neck is ideal for a smaller chested woman looking to make her size more proportionate in appearance.
  • Large wide scoop neck sweaters are ideal for smaller chests and frames.  If you carry your weight on the lower half of your body in a more pear shape, a scoop neck is a great way to give the appearance of better proportions and make your chest look larger.
  • Turtleneck sweaters are rarely considered flattering in today’s fashion, but they can be pulled off by someone that has a more squared shoulder or overall structured shape.  They look best with a light vest, cardigan, or some statement jewelry that draws the eyes away from the neckline.

These tips for how to find flattering sweaters for plus size figures will make the upcoming cooler temperatures easier for you to manage.  Having a great variety of sweaters in your wardrobe is just what you need to pull comfort and fashion together for a fun winter look.
