Since having Baby I have been well and truly in the plus size spectrum! Clothes shopping had become a bit of a nightmare, that is until I walked into Taking Shape one day. On that first occasion I bought a couple of tops. The fit was brilliant, garments that are really cut to flatter. Then, Taking Shape kindly sponsored my clothing for BritMums Live last year gifting me two fabulous dresses.
Regular readers will probably be aware that I have recently lost 2.5 stone, sadly I am still plus size (there is no justice! 🙂 ). So when Taking Shape offered to send me some outfits for the festive season, I was very grateful and picked these gorgeous dresses.
Stolen Jewels Dress £55, Colour Me Once Dress £55, Northern Lights Dress £55, Lava Dress £55
I did a VERY quick photo shoot with Mr Hubby, while Baby was distracted watching Doc McStuffins! I am not very comfortable posing or having my photo taken without Baby, so please forgive me. I thought it would give you an opportunity to see what the dresses look like on a more ‘normal’ looking lady!
This one is great for layering!
This one is Mr Hubby’s favourite. Green would not normally be a colour I would pick, but I actually like it on.
I think this dress is my favourite. I love that it is so easy to wear and I adore the large slouch pockets on the hips.
This is another dress that would be great for layering, I like the asymmetrical hemline.
Taking Shape clothes are cut to flatter plus size ladies, rather than being a larger version of smaller clothes. So this ensures they make the most of your best bits and help to cover up your less desirable bits! They do feel really good on. Taking shape offer pieces in size 14-26, so a great range of sizes. I love that I don’t feel frumpy, as I sometimes do in other plus size clothes.
There are lots of other party dresses on their website, why not check out their special occasion dresses?! Thanks so much to Taking Shape for sending me these fabulous dresses.
Disclosure: I was sent these dresses in return for this honest post.

What gorgeous outfits and agree with Amy’s comments that you look amazing. I think the black and white dress is my favourite too. And a big well done on managing to lose 2.5 stone – that is quite an impressive achievement x
