I am starting a new series in which I plan to interview many individuals within the plus community to get some general information as well as some things more specific. The goal of this series is to provide readers across the blogsphere a candid look at those they read about on blogs, in magazines, etc. To begin with I thought I would focus the light on myself to let you know a few things about me you may already know and some you may not.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks to read about some of the names you know already and a few surprises! Before I forget don’t forget to sign up for the Full Figured Newsletter for a chance to win a copy of the Curvy Girls Guide to Style!

One of the things I have always liked about IGIGI is that Yuliya seems to really understand the plus size body. I guess that is the reason IGIGI was voted the #1 plus size fashion retailer during Full Figured Fashion Week™.
The Limited Collection is a group of items that have a couture feel with a budget friendly price. The latest from IGIGI focuses on fun summer colors and of course the staple on the streets this summer the maxi-dress. Below is one of the new items the “Music of my Heart Dress.”
Bring a touch of retro glamour to your playful sunshine style. Wear this happy dress with some sassy platforms for the look on the town, or strappy flats for the easy summer look. Read more...

Do you know your body type? Did you know dressing for your body type can dramatically change how you look when you get dressed? If you didn’t stay tuned today we are going to go over different body types and how to figure out which one is best for you.
Vertical Body Types
Balanced Body
Your hip line divides you in half and is common among 55% of Caucasian women. You normally have a long waist. Weight gain will transform your shape into a rectangle, shortening your waist. Curvy Tip: Wear dresses, skirts, pants either above or below your natural waistline.
Long Legs-Short Torso
This body type is for taller ladies though can be found in shorter ladies. With a short torso you normally try to lengthen your torso by not tucking in your shirts. Any weight gain will create rolls and a full stomach. Curvy Tip: Skirts and pants WITHOUT waistbands are your best friend. Read more...
I hate my stomach, My thighs are to big, When I was a size… If I looked like…If you have said these things or others statements similar you are venturing into the realm of style. Did you know that your personal style has absolutely nothing to do with your dress size? I know too many of you this is not an issue, because you know who you are and what you see in the mirror a beautiful curvy goddess, but for those out there whose personal style/image kung-fu is not as strong as your pass these tips along to them.
Step 1
Throw out the fashion magazines. Why? The modeling industry is made up of ladies that are from 14-21, sizes 0-10, modeling clothes to be sold to ladies over 21 who are an average size 14. As you can see this math does not add up so if you do decide to keep the fashion magazines do it for reference not as a reflection of how you look. Read more...
