That Summer Air featuring Afamado

Hello my queens,

I have written numerous post about custom-made clothing from Afamado and it is no secret the custom fit clothing can play a miraculous role when it comes to different body types. What brands often have failed to understand that even plus size bodies aren't all hourglass proportionately same. Even in outsize's there are several different body types-not all of us have the ample bosom the voluptuous ass and a tiny waist to match with. Afamado bridges that gap and creates clothing to suit your boldly and not the other way around. Elaborating on to my outfit here I am quite the collector when it comes to wrap dress and I actually favour them 'cos they always wind up above my muffin tops and help me create the perfect illusion. Most brands/labels are using some form of vanity sizing by now, and they are reluctant to unwilling to abandon this strategy which has helped swell the customer self-esteem ( of course keeping in mind it's short-term, for as long as they use the same vanity sizing for all their collection). The problem with vanity sizing is that it leads to false sense of self-esteem as all the bands would not follow the same. This could do much more harm to consumers mind frame than to boost the sales. Which brings me to the dire need of standardization when conflicted with that of bespoke clothing. Bespoke. Which most of us can’t afford, money-wise or time-wise.  Also, If everything was made bespoke and all components manufactured by different individuals then it would likely be uncommon for things to fit well. With all the ranges and variations of our bodies, a good fit is found in clothing that shall be solely manufactured for you, from your unique measurements. And this requires a different manufacturing model; one where profitability doesn’t require multi-thousand item runs of a single size.

It means “fit” is measured not as cookie cutter parameter sizes, however, defined and redefined or standardized, but rather in the way you gauge it: as fitting you. This is what they do at Afamado and understand you, to make it to your fit.

 I got two dresses from Afamado's SS"18 collection -the first dress is a zig-zag printed wrap dress and other an unstitched wrap dress in the most marvelous print. I chose them as per a day and a night outfit that screams summer. You can also avail a special discount of 15 % sitewide when you shop above 2000 INR.

Now talking about the SO-WHAT campaign I had also like to share a video with you. My styling for the outfits was really just about focusing on my outfits really! The earrings are from H & M and heels are Dorothy Perkin. I had really like you to share your So-what story with me and get featured on the blog next.

One of the 55 LBD's

Every girl is entitled to own 55 Little Black Dresses at least! haha, Well that's m version at least. I have a humongous wardrobe thanks to blogging I increase it additionally every week. I cannot even stress how my life revolves around clothes being in the industry and making one as a hobby too. Coming back to the notion of 55 LBD's this was one of my very first purchases from ZARA on sale obviously in 2012.I remember not finding much of options but was very ecstatic to get this one even without trying on. So the dress is really special to me 'cos I rarely shop offline because of the availability and also this being ZARA really.

The plunging neckline is not something I'm wary of but my mother is. No excuses but I h ad to wear a cami slip dress underneath(Big Girls, you know what I mean.?)
Here I'm seen in my wrap dress paired with pumps from Tresmode and Earrings from Voylla. My hair is definitely inspired by the Kala Khatta Mojito that you have to try at Rockville Bar & Diner. The Mad Hair Scientist has given me a lot of texture but a very laidback wavy hair. I'm wearing Chambor on my lips.

Of Wraps, Curves and Double Chins!

After having being featured in FashionPro’s first article Desi Girls with curves you must follow on Instagram(which I’m absolutely ecstatic about),Fashion Pro Team asked me to do write an article on my dress that would look great on curvy women.

The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It's like a robe, it's like a kimono, it's like a toga. It doesn't have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print. And the first one was animal print so it made every woman look like a feline.

Diane Von Furstenberg created it in 1974 as an alternative to suits and it’s been a fashion favorite very since. Why? It defines the waist, lifts the bust and gives every woman a fantastic hourglass figure.

Some great to work up the wrap dress for plus size girl:

1. If you are not planning to wear hose and want to keep things looking smooth, wear some shapewear like Spanx to eliminate any panty lines, bumps and bulges.

2. Some wrap dresses have a tendency to come open at the top. Make sure that you buy the correct size or wear a camisole underneath. I find that the non-lace ones look better with this tailored look.

3. If you are not that busty, this is a great time to have some fun with a pretty padded push up bra!

4. You can layer a cardigan or jacket over a wrap dress for a different look. I own 3 wrap dresses and think a wrap is the perfect dress for almost anything. You can wear a wrap to work, dress it up or down with accessories and also wear one out on a date. It’s very versatile and always looks great. Plus, it travels like a dream. It’s lightweight you can throw it in your bag and it’s always so comfy because it’s made of its soft jersey silk fabric.

5.  Shoes? A heel looks best. The formality of the print and the size of print will dictate the thickness of the heel.  The wilder the print, the chunkier  you can go with the heel . That means you can do anything from a more delicate heel to a wedge.

6. Wrap dresses look wonderful with jewelry. A long necklace or short one works. Bracelets or cuffs look especially great on 3/4 length sleeve wrap dresses.

    

    

                                                                                      

     

     

I wore mine from DOROTHY PERKINS paired with a simple tibetian choker I bought while travelling and these super high but comfortable wedges from Forever21 ! Buying a print wrap dress is a great way to conceal and even accentuate curves - so be mindful of where the print is located on your body figure.

The one I’m wearing in post is definitely comfortable but easily slides up the ass. Here’s all that you need to know about the wrap dress.
While the wrap is certainly good for traveling - it's compact and doesn't wrinkle — more often than not when I wear one I'm left feeling lumpy and exposed, and rather than striding around with liberating 1970s confidence, I find myself self-consciously tugging and adjusting the low neckline and skimpy skirt, and find that sitting down is an ordeal. Where, yes, a wrap works with curves, it also slides between breasts in a conspicuous fashion and the belt can cut in a way that's less than flattering to anyone with any flesh at all. What's more, a cami can spoil the line - not to mention show under the unforgiving jersey - and I've often been at the mercy of fashion tape, safety pins and even last-minute tacking. But What a good shapewear won’t tackle ?So yes more than often I try and look for a wrap dress that not made of Jersey material and has a longer.

Share your Wrap Dress looks with me ,I'd love to take a look.See you soon in my next post!
