IGIGI this week are highlighting one of the best sellers in their collection… the beautiful satin gown. This particular gown has already been showcased and reviewed on Pasazz.net in the past; being lucky enough to own an IGIGI satin gown I can truly say this dress is a dream. It flows beautifully and feels like heaven against your curves.
This week IGIGI are cutting down the price of this great gown! Knocking off $66, for this week only, you can grab this great dress at only $99! (Regular price is $165). This special price is valid until 5th November and is only available on three particular colors:
Take a closer look at this dress today! Perhaps you’re looking for a dress to wear during a special event in this upcoming Holiday season, then definitely give this dress a peek. Stand out from the crowd, without hurting your wallet. Visit IGIGI today.
This month Pasazz.net continues to meet and discover new people making the plus size clothing world an exciting and vibrant place for all of us.
This month in fact, we’ve met up with Michael Kaplan, who’s the founding partner and CEO of an exciting new plus size clothing store, Fashion To Figure. Michael is also the great grandson of plus size fashion pioneer Lane Bryant.
The interview has been published today, therefore be one of the first to read it! You can find it here.
For all you curious cats… here’s a snippet of what’s in the interview:
Pasazz: From a male’s point of view, what is your opinion of the plus size woman’s image as depicted (or perhaps not such much) in the media? Do you feel there is a lack of exposure of the curvy woman’s beauty in the media?
Michael: I think there has been a lot of progress over the last 5 years in increasing the profile of plus size women in the media. I still don’t think we have come far enough. Remember that I come from a family where my great grandmother had to fight for years just to run an advert in the New York Herald Tribune for the maternity clothing that she made. Our market has always been under-served and under-represented. That is part of the reason why there is so much excitement about FTF.
I have a feeling IGIGI will be a favorite store amoung plus size women all over the world this Christmas holiday season. The dress selection is a great one, and as noted previously in our Top 5 Plus Size Christmas Holiday Dresses – The Preview List, they already offer great dresses that full figured women can wear on special occasions this coming holiday season.
Continuing to widen our choices, IGIGI has added hot new dresses great for the holidays; dresses which will make any plus size woman feel glamorous and sexy.
Two new dresses I recommend taking a closer look at are the Tessa Velvet Gown and the Novella Gown (pictured on the right).
- Fit for a Queen the Tessa Velvet gown features seductive bare shoulders, which are adorned with bra-friendly straps (so convenient!). The highlight of this down is the neckline which showcases a unique hand-made crystal ornament… Simply beautiful! This dress is currently available in sizes 14 to 32.
- Taking a look now at the Novella Gown, what a gorgeous evening gown! A dress perfect to wear at a formal holiday event or party, to make a lasting impression! This plus size dress features asymmetrically draped bodice ruches at the side seam to conceal the tummy… What more could a girl want? Again IGIGI add elegance and sparkle to the dress with a sparkling removable pin. This dress is also currently available in sizes 14 to 32.
Yesterday Lane Bryant Catalog announced that it will change it’s name to “Woman Within“. The company is stressing that only the name is changing, everything else stays the same, “Woman Within” should be a familiar name, as it has been a successful plus size women’s clothing and intimates catalog for the past 15 years. To be quite honest though, this name is very new to my ears!
I quite like this new name, as the press release says: “The name Woman Within feminizes our offer, symbolizing inner awareness, the ‘woman inside.”

I came across a very interesting article today which I had to share with you all. It specifically deals with the issues plus size and super size ladies have to go through whilst they are expecting. The article at Parents.com gives some good advice and points out several tips which should help guide those plus size women who perhaps are feeling discouraged or down because doctors are making them feeling guilty about their weight. Being plus size and pregnant does not have to mean trouble is on the way. It just means that one needs to take that little extra attention to make sure all goes smoothly. If you’re pregnant, or are planning on bringing a bundle of joy to the world, I suggest you take a look at this article as it’s a real eye opener and contains excellent advice for curvy women who are pregnant.
