SimplyBe Black Bodycon dress and Kimono wrap jacket loveliness

I feel uber lucky that I was able to choose a couple of items to review from SimplyBe's latest catalogue. The following items are things I think, are perfect for things like a Christmas party, a works do, or just to wear because you know you look foxy.

Ahem, so without anymore delay (drum roll please).....

Item number 1

Black Jersey Bodycon dress size 16 

When I first opened this, I thought, there is no way i am going to get into that and my heart broke just a little bit. But I tried it on and I was happy to get in it! Its definitely a S.I.B.O (stomach in boobs out) dress and suck em ins were definitely required to smooth down any sagging lard.

I felt really good in this dress, I think I would have been more comfy in a size bigger and if I were to wear this out for a meal, then that would be a stupid thing to do. Its TIGHT, but then that's what bodycon dresses are about.

I think if you are lacking in confidence, then this isn't the dress for you. This needs to be worn with attitude and confidence, otherwise you will just look like a sack of poo!

I did try and accessorise with a little thin belt around my waist, but it didn't look right on me. But on the right person I think a red belt as a pop of colour would look foxy.


I found the dress comfortable and it had a nice stretch to it and most of all, I love the length.

I did find the arms were a little tight and if you are a gal with larger arms, this dress could be a problem.

For £25 I think this is a great price for a dress that could take you through lots of parties and events.

It also come in 2 other colours, Aubergine and dark green. I chose black because you can add any colour accessories.





Now this next item I chose because, as a larger girl of the world, when it comes to, erm, bedroom attire, for me its a scabby baggy t-shirt and whatever leggings I've pulled out from the draw. Sexy huh. But for me that's real and I bet it is for you too. If you are one of those ladies that wears gorgeous nighties with fluffy glass slippers, then I salute you.

But there are sometimes, when I wish I did have something a little bit more glamorous, so when I saw this, I thought, yeah baby.

WARNING YOU MAY NEED SUNGLASSES

Before i put the pictures up, part of me wished i faked tanned my legs as they look like corpse legs, but then I thought 'ah bugger it, the sun doesn't see them bits and that's why they are sickeningly blindingly white' You have been warned, if you go blind, that's your fault.

Item 2

Kimono Wrap Jacket size 16/18 

Oh this is so pretty.

This item is 100% polyester, so I would avoid candles if you are trying to be seductive.

It felt silky when I put it on and I didn't have the static attack I was preparing myself for.

It has a long attached belt and a little loop and tie in the middle.

You can be as covered up or as exposed (snigger) as you like with this little number.

What I love about it is, I felt confident in it. I wont ever be the girlfriend who wears all that sexy stuff (sorry Steve, you have to except that, I'm just to lazy) I find it all to much of a faff and its blimmin uncomfortable. But with this bad boy, I actually felt like I was making an effort and I felt, ya know, kinda shexy.

Just look how pretty it is! I felt like a lady!

This was £26. I would definitely recommend this if you aren't body confident in the bedroom.

I'm not trying to fly here, I just wanted to show you the back. Look at the lovely shape of the sleeves!

I asked Steve (my other half) what he thought of the 2 items I chose. I trust Steve's opinion absolutely 100% he is very respectful and honest and this is what he said:

" I'm not very good at stuff like this, erm. I thought the black dress was very sexy and the silky nightie thing would do the job"

Thank you Stephen for those thoughtful, heartfelt words. Tsk.
