Plus Size Formal Wear

agreed!!
It will be like a tent by then!

I second that Carly ... a ball at the Opera House sounds like the PERFECT excuse to go dress shopping - for a new (much smaller) size!!

hey carly
i reckon it's gonna be too big for you to wear in november!

TraceyD I just found this post. Did you get a dress. I have a ball gown (black with split up front showing white). I am more than happy to post it to you and you can borrow it, if you could just pay for the postage. The dress is a size 20-22 but it has boddess drawstings at the back so you can pull it in and out to drastically change the size. PM me if you need it.

I will need it back by November as I have a ball at the opera house to attend ;)

That is great to know that you have sorted yourself out....have a great time when you go!!

You will have your handsful but at least with Billie that bit older she would be a great help to you....
We have three teenage girls 18 (my husbands daughter) 16 and 13 and now our son who is 14 mths old....I have not worked out which is harder dealing with teenagers or a toddler again lol

HI Tracey,

I have a cupboard full of plus size formal wear that no longer fits. I work for a wonderful company that has gala awards night every year. So every year I have spent hundreds on beautiful dresses all of which I lok at and now breaks my heart.

What size do you need? I have 18 - 24 What colour do you Like? I have purple, black, teal, gold. I can PM you desciptions, so far been selling them for a bargain $100 each cry cry cry.
Can pop in post for you in time for next week, I could even send you some pics of me in them, in fact you my find pics of me in them in the gallery.

Good luck!

I've recently bought a dress from (online) Curvy Clothing to wear to a friend's wedding. She stocks some nice brands from USA including Igigi. She was prompt with delivery, even though she didn't have what I ordered in stock.
Website is: www.curvyclothing.com.au
or you can f/book search curvy clothing.
Good luck!

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any plus size formal wear places? I am on the Gold Coast, but online would be ok. BUT, I need it by 18th September!
I am going to a ball and I had a dress arranged but now that I have tried it on it doesn't fit!ARGH!

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Tracey
