I have been under pressure to write about Christmas for a while now, but i couldn't get around to it. London was enjoying an Indian summer, the roses in my garden had gone mad and we had a wonderful display. I didn't want to think about Christmas.
I have an absolute passion for knitwear. It’s very forgiving because it’s stretchy, so perfect for curvy girls. We fluctuate in size, I know that I will, especially over the festive season, so knitwear is perfectly accommodating. It can be sexy, dressy or just cosy and comfortable.
Key for AW15 is the Midi-length skirt. So very flattering especially for plus sizes. The midi skirt remains one of most elegant lengths to try this season.
I have always been a plus size - I was put on my first diet at 6 months and buying clothes was a depressing experience especially when I was young when if you were bigger than a size 16 there was little or no choice.
Harpers Bazaar said “it’s the year of the trouser”, good news, I love wearing them. But not so long ago it was still frowned upon if you turned up for work wearing trousers.
