What good is a fashion trend if it doesn’t come in your size? This season’s hottest fashion craze is the maxi dress. Thanks to contemporary plus size designer Monif C. curvy women have options when it comes to dressing on trend this summer.
With the click of a mouse, plus size shoppers worldwide can find the most important fashion item this season, the maxi dress, at popular online boutique Cherished Woman. The popular store has recently added new dresses from contemporary plus size fashion designer, Monif C., to their summer 2008 collection.
Founded by former plus size model Nancy Baum, who makes it her mission to seek out the hottest plus size designers for her trendy online boutique so that she and other curvy women can dress just as stylish and fashion forward as their thinner peers. Following fashion forecast reports that indicate maxi dresses are the hottest fashion item for 2008 Baum knew she needed to add the Monif C. label to her collection. “Monif’s dresses are right on trend for this season,” says Baum, “Her flirty and feminine designs combined with superior craftsmanship are a must have for the woman who demands style without compromise.”
In addition to Monif’s sexy plus size dresses, Cherished-Woman.com is also featuring Monif’ C.’s new collection of designer plus size swimwear. The Monif C. swimsuit collection showcases well constructed swimsuits that are as functional as they are stylish. High quality swim fabric lifts, shapes, and contours. In addition, padded bra cups and adjustable leg ties compliment the fashion forward styles on this sexy swimwear collection. Gold tone hardware and exotic beads add fantastic fashion touches. Monif says, “I have been craving the opportunity to design a plus size swimsuit collection. As an avid traveler and unabashed sun and sea worshipper, I needed a swimsuit that reflected my style and need to feel as sexy and feminine as other women on the beach!”
Monif C.’s popular collection is flying off Cherished Woman’s shelves as the demand for contemporary and stylish plus size clothing increases. Contemporary designers like Monif C are helping full-figured women achieve their goal of looking sexy and trendy in a market place that is still promoting muumuus and tent dresses despite customer demand for trendier and more curve-conscious options.

IGIGI’s Latest Masterpiece – The Sarafan Dress
IGIGI have done it yet again. They managed to create simple yet chic and classic elegance made for the full figured body. The latest addition to their wonderful range of plus size dresses is the Sarafan dress, a dress which is set to win the hearts of many curvy women! It will also definitely be responsible for setting men’s hearts racing when they see full figured women looking gorgeous in this perfect summer dress.
Available in brown, magenta and fiery red the Sarafan dress from IGIGI is a chic yet daring dress. It incorporated adjustable, self-tie straps to ensure a perfect fit: you can set the straps as tight or loose as your desire. A plunging neckline dominates this dress, which gives it a very sexy feel and that is however not overly done. The key to a sexy and chic look is to always leave something to the imagination, and the Sarafan dress does this perfectly. It shows off a bit of leg, which you can help enhance further by wearing some nice sandals or mules with heels. The plunging neckline accentuates the bust area, and the V-neck back show off some more of the right skin. The rest of the curves are hugged to perfection.
This dress can be worn in two ways. With a belt (which is comes along with the dress… yes!), or else without the belt. I personally have a fear of belts… well not quite. I just never seem to be convinced they look good on me for some reason. Though I can see why this dress would make more of an impression if worn with the belt: besides giving the curvy figure a more defined waist, the belt also helps add that extra sense of style.
So why do I like this dress so much?
- It is very simple yet very elegant. The simplicity helps flatter the curvy figure, and makes it very versatile.
- Also, in my opinion this dress has a slight retro vibe to it. Is it the colors perhaps?
- The color choices are vibrant and so fitting for that Spring/Summer feeling. I personally am not very fond of the brown version of this dress, then again this boils down to tastes.
- Any plus size women wearing this dress is bound to stand out… for all the right reasons!
So ladies, I am off to buy my own Sarafan dress. I am still undecided on whether to buy the Magenta version or Fiery Red. What do you suggest?
I will definitely update you on my choice very soon! In the meantime take a closer look at the Sarafan dress at IGIGI.
