I've never worn a great deal of Evans clothing. In the past I've found it to be quite pricey and maybe I've harboured old resentments as for a long time the company dominated the plus size clothing arena and I often really disliked what was on offer.
Over the last few years though the brand have started offering capsule collections with edgier designs and I am slowly revising my opinion of them. Beth Dittos range was quite exciting and more recently they have been working with design duo Clements Ribeiro on the Swan range.
I already felt quite positive about this collection as they used some of my favourite plus size bloggers in the campaign and from the pictures I saw of them it looked right up my street, quirky kitschy prints on bright colours and nice shapes.
Ive actually brought two pieces from the collection and this is the first.
I fell in love with the lipstick print when I saw Callie from The corners of the curve blog and Bethany from My Arched eyebrow wearing it for the Evans promo shoot.
As a lipstick junkie this dress is just perfect |
Ive never worn this shape before but I'm really liking it |
I know this collection has been a bit of a marmite thang with some plus size hotties hating the shapes of the dresses and also the fabrics used but I absolutely love it.
My hair is a bit wild today-not sure why |
This Lip print jersey dress is a simple shift style with a wide neck and runs very true to size. Ive cinched it in with a little belt and worn it over leggings but it looks just as good unbelted.I feel a little bit like an art teacher in it, all I'm missing is two pencils stuck in my hair.I think its the shape. Its a departure for me but one I really like.
This feels a bit art teacher chic |
Hello Kitty-perfect for this quite camp dress |
The jersey feels very good quality and I adore the vibrancy of the print. For me its all about the design and I adore this one so much. It reminds me of an old Miss Selfridge print which adorned their make up bags back in the day.
It feels fun and kitsch so Ive accessorised with a Hello Kitty necklace and pink bow pumps.
Bravo Evans-you are back on my good side |
I have to say I'm feeling a lot more love for Evans since they have launched this range. Sure not every piece is my cup of tea but I like quite a few of the designs, a lot. Bravo!
Have you brought any of the Swan range? would this collection entice you back to shopping at the original fatty clothes shop?
Don't waste your life waiting to be a different size or shape before you feel you can enjoy clothes and fashion. Live in the here and now.
There is more than one version of style and beauty. Don't let others define you.
