Betty Pamper's Plus Size Pug Teeshirt

This week is an exciting one as Nicky Rockets has launched a brand new teeshirt design and this one is inspired by none other than Mister Truffles. Yes our new tee features a David Bowie obsessed pug ( he even has a red lightning flash on his forehead)  who we are fondly nicknaming Ziggy Pugdust. 

Mister Truffles loves his teeshirt

So many pug lovers have found my blog since I started featuring Mister Truffles and since little pug features is the light of our life it seemed only fitting he have a teeshirt of his own.

Mister Tee is on a Tee!

The Lady fit version

So here it is. All the usual style checks are in place, we have regular fit, lady fit and of course our best selling slash neck.

The slash neck option

 Size wise we of course are stocking small through to 5XL so everyone will find a tee in their preferred shape, fit and size. 

The first fifty lucky buyers of this new design will also receive a free patch (while stocks last) 

Pug Patch a gogo

I hope you love this teeshirt as much as we do. What can I tell you-We didnt choose the Pug life, the puglife chose us.

Look at that smile.

Betty Pamper's Plus Size Casual Outfit

After a busy weekend working I am finally able to catch my breath and have spent today just catching up on some blog admin and pootling (yes its a word) around the house. My outfit is reflecting my laid back mood and is all about layering.

I firmly believe that chilled out dressing can still be stylish so to this end I have worn this black Taking shape dress which I picked up earlier in the season over my rather excellent leopard print joggers I may be relaxed but I'm not in a coma darlings so bring out the animal print.

I am loving this satchel so much

My long line cardigan is by Evans and my satchel is from the Cambridge Satchel company I'm feeling quite boho and understated which makes a nice contrast to all the pretty frocks I have been wearing recently.

My silver hoop earrings were from Primark but you can buy similar here

Low key plus size styling

Life is so busy at the moment but all with great stuff. The blog is growing in readership every day which makes me so, so happy. I feel I am creating a fabulous community here in my small corner of the internet, also the Nicky Rockets brand has taken off (no pun intended) beyond mine and Nickys wildest expectations which is so gratifying (we are taking the brand to the Curvy Convention and Style XL this year so keep your eyes peeled) and I'm involved in some really exciting brand collaborations which I will be sharing with you very soon indeed!

Leopard Print Joggers-its totally fine

One other thing I must share is that I now have a newsletter which you can sign up to here I know some of you only dip in an don't of social media so its a great way to get all my news, outfits as well as exclusive offers delivered weekly to your inbox.

5 Fat Fashion Failures

Plus size clothing is getting better right? Well yes and no. 
Sure it fantastic that there is more choice than ever before and that you no longer have to re mortgage your house to buy a pair of jeans over a size 16  but all is not perfect in fatty fashionland. Here are my top fat fashion failures.

I got ninety nine problems but Polyester aint one

Until recent times the most common use of polyester was making bottles for fizzy pop. I would hazard a guess that since the explosion in the plus size clothing market, garment creation is catching up because man so much stuff in my size is in polyester. 
As time goes by my dislike of this fabric grows. Its sweaty, its got a nasty shiny texture and quite honesty I'm always afraid to stand near any naked flames for fear of going up like a Roman candle. Hey here is an idea, lets throw some cottons and silks in the mix or maybe even just keep the poly count to oh I don't know less than 100%

Belt Up

So here's the thing. When I buy my size 20 dress guess what size I need my belt to be in? Any guesses? yep that's right-the same. 
The amount of times I have brought outfits featuring jaunty belts and they are obviously at least two sizes too small and work better as a trendy bracelet. Grrrr

Pointless Peplums

I quite like a peplum. On certain tops and dresses it adds a 1980's je ne sais quoi and is a great way to give the illusion of an hour glass figure if like me you are more Ursula the sea witch than Jessica Rabbit in the figure stakes. But for the love of all things holy they don't need to be added to everything. 
The plus size clothing industry always do this, it happened with the "Illusion dress" one minute it was a cool quirky design the next you couldn't leave the house without tripping over a dress with a different coloured centre panel. 
The regular size fashion industry doesn't churn out the same shapes season after season and neither should ours. So dear plus size fashion designers the next time a peplum is being considered ask yourself, does this garment need it? does it look perfectly fine without one? if the answer is yes take that extra frill of material and makes a comical ruff for your dog instead.

Size Trials

Guys can we just decide what constitutes each size and all just get along?
 I do a lot of my clothing shopping online and sure I know I should measure but I am often buying clothes on my phone in a queue for a sandwich or sneakily at a work meeting so whipping out a tape measure isn't always practical.
 So when stuff arrives and it wont fit over my head or has so much extra fabric in I could comfortably house a grumble of pugs in the excess its beyond annoying.
Duel sizing is also a tricky beast. It makes my brain hurt. Its like throwing down all your money on red. Its such a gamble especially when ordering online. Do I go conservative and go for the upper size? or will I end up being swamped in fabric? So please fair people of fat clothing land I beg you, reach an industry agreed standard on all clothes sizes and stick to them.
I don't need vanity sizing, I just need clothes that are uniformly a certain size.I hate looking the same as everyone else but in this instance I'm happy to follow the herd if that herd will stop me having to constantly queue at the post office to return things.

Plus Size Ranges That aren't really Plus size

There is nothing crueller (well except world hunger and child poverty perhaps) than a brand banging the drum about their exciting new plus size range, leaking pictures pre launch, sending out glossy look books only for it to be revealed that it only goes up to a size 22. That sound? its the sound of gloriously full figured babes all over the land crying because none of it comes in their size. Its the double insult"yes its plus size but er not as plus size as you" I run a tiny tee shirt company which has a commitment to not using materials that are the result of poor working practices or child labour so to that end I buy everything from the UK and guess what, I can still offer up to a size 5XL with little to no effect on margins. My point? it can be done. Retailers take note. 
My bloglovin feed is full of posts from sassy plussies creating lists of "what they would have brought" had it been available over a size 22. Its insane.If you build it, they will come.

So they are my top five fat fashion failures-what are yours?

The Floral And Lace Plus Size Fashion Edit

My look de jour this spring is quickly establishing itself as "tough but sweet" its always nice to revamp your wardrobe a little and I'm having a lot of fun with my outfits at the moment.

Glam, Plus Size fashion Fun

I'm restyling my go to vintage look with some slightly edgier elements and I have to say it has reinvigorated my love for getting dressed.

Breezy, but never easy

This Edit Bonded Dress by Fashionworld is so cute and girly and yes quite short which with today's breezy weather has been quite entertaining.
 I'm bored of wearing tights or leggings so my dimply fat legs are out for all to see-weirdly the world didn't stop.Funny that, its almost as if it doesn't matter.

My legs are out and the world hasn't ended

The shape of this frock is so pretty with some darts in the skirt  which give it an almost puffball look. It is sleeveless with a round neck so just a really simple cut-I like it a lot.It also has pockets-need I say more.

This faded lace floral fabric is so great for spring.

The floral fabric with lace overlay is unusual and makes it look like its in soft focus which I have no problem with in the slightest-rub that Vaseline on the lens baby. 
Its also comfortable which I don't always find to be the case with clothes involving lace, but no scratchy edges and it isnt catching on everything because as the name sugests teh lace is bonded over the fabric.Very nice indeed.
I've worn a beaded belt which I brought from Primark for a few quid (but you can buy similar here) I wanted to add some extra embellishment because as you know dear readers with me more is always more.

Plus size accessories for the fatty fashion win

My jacket is by George  and is adding the sour to my sweet. I'm lusting after a pair of real white Raybans so these  cheap and cheerful sunglasses are doing the job until my ship comes in.

Just hanging around

Black kitten heels and a pastel clutch purse are the finishing touches.Sassy, Classy and always kick assy!

The Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour

Last week I spent an absolutely magical day at Warner Brothers Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden. We are all massive Harry Potter fans at Pamper Towers so its fair to say we were super excited.

Hotel bathroom selfie-Standard

We drove down the night before and stayed at a nearby hotel so we would be fresh and full of energy for our Harry Potter experience (we take our Harry Potter adventures very seriously so had planned it for weeks) 

We are here with the giant chess pieces

Ready for the tour

So often these places are a total let down but I have to say this was just magical. I am going to photo spam you now and let the captions tell the story of the day but needless to say I would definitely recommend it. We are all still buzzing.

Hanging out in Diagon Alley

I was keen to be comfortable as well as staying true to my Potter nerd roots so wore a Slytherin teeshirt which I have had for ages but you can buy similar here, a Harry Potter scarf also in Slytherin colours and some plain leggings from Asos Curve I also took my trusty black PU jacket from George, Cute, functional and all about the magic of Potter!
