“I’d review Yours at 5 Stars...what about you?”

It’s getting to that time of the year when we’re getting the post summer blues as the nights draw in and the sky is full of those depressing grey clouds. Being British the worst of this has been avoided by the fact that we have had an awful summer where if you blink to quickly you missed the sunshine and warmth. As my bucket and spade collected dust and flip flops sat with their price tag still hanging, I could have started to get bored and twiddle my thumbs... instead my bank account bore the brunt as I shopped and shopped online with Yours Clothing.

Now coming to Autumn I want something warm to wear so I had a browse on my favourite site... is it sad that Yours is now my home page? When I think Autumn I automatically think knitwear and itchy cardigans. My dear old Gran would just say “at least you’ll be warm”, and I’d mutter to myself “I’ll also have no skin left as I have scraped and clawed it away because it’s so darn ITCHY”. Perhaps the more practical of readers would say “just wear a long sleeve top underneath”, I didn’t like this either as I tend to get hot with lots of layers and peeling knitwear off seems to make my hair stand on end and crackle as the static makes me look like I’m Sideshow Bob..

So I faced my fears and looked in the knitwear and cardigans section and immediately saw that picture of the model with the Panda jumper. Now normally jumpers with big animal faces would not be my thing, but look at it (item 43359), it’s cute, and by the picture alone I would give it 5 stars. My eyes lit up, and my card shrunk in fear in my purse as I knew I wanted that jumper... it’s not there. It’s ok my heart can return to a normal pace as I can see it’s in the coming soon section and I have set my email up so I will be notified the moment it comes in. The coming soon section even shows the dates that some of the items are due in, and so it is very useful.



I’ll just have to find something else to order in the mean time... it’s a hard life. I do like the Oatmeal cable knitted tunic (42704), and its short sleeve, so warm but will spare my poor arms the grief of itching them.


 
I’ve got some leggings I can wear with them already, but I need something to complete the autumn look, and what better way than some boots. Despite all the summer Olympic action inspiring me to want to get fit and have the body of Jessica Ennis, in reality I’m no slimmer and my legs are as squishy as ever. In the past fitting boots on my leg is like trying to close an over packed suitcase to go on holiday; squishing and squeezing with some unpleasant grown whilst I pry the zip up my leg. Only for it to get stuck halfway... I now have a muffin top on my leg... on my leg for goodness sake... How is that even possible? My ankle looks stunning in the boots, but my calf seems to be billowing out the top and the material is stretched I’m worried it’s gonna shatter across the shop... I’ll just take them off I think. Despite this I thought I’d brave it and try a pair of Yours boots. With them being available in XL and XXL calf sizes I’m confident that even my chubby legs will be ok. Plus I read through the customer reviews and they are popular and no-one seems to say they can’t fit them on.

I love having a browse through the customer reviews. I’m as reliant on them for my clothes as I am for buying things on other sites like electrical goods or even booking holidays... we all know what sites I’m referring to. They provide an unbiased view on how the products really fit and what shape they suit; like when people say if they are clingy or long or if the pattern differs to the one on the model. Now I can’t find any really bad reviews of the items, so it appears that some filtering has been done, but who came blame Yours for that. It seems that as long as you are constructive in what you say they will accept it. So if you are reading this then I assume that you are also a customer of Yours (I personally challenge anyone to have more of their items in their wardrobe than me though), then please write reviews. I’m short, “curvy” to say the least and it’s the reviews that help me try and find things that suit my shape, and to get an honest view of how they fit. Get those fingers tapping on your keyboards and review, review, review.

Viva Acappella! - Sweet Adelines Gold Medal Champion Chorus 2012

Last year we were approached by Viva Acappella, a group of fresh and exciting harmony singers with a huge passion for 'fabulous singing', they needed a new outfit for a big competition they just had at the start of May. Of course Yours Clothing was there to help.

This is the lovely email we received from Viva Acappella.

After buying a sample dress, I showed the chorus and.. they loved it! It flattered everyone's shape and made everyone feel special! We then went on to purchase the dresses as our new stage outfit.

We are members of an organisation called Sweet Adelines (founded in America) and we have just returned from the European Convention and..Viva Acappella won Gold in our small chorus division and best of all...we broke a record and became the first 'small chorus' to win the competition outright!  Two Gold medals in one day!

Anyway, the reason for my email is to tell you that we had soooooo many compliments on the dresses.  Lots of other choruses loved them and the judges described them as sophisticated and sassy!

The only thing that we added to the dresses, was some fringing on the bottom and top as the judges like to see the tops of the arms covered.

As a result of our win we are off to Hawaii next year to compete at the International competition..I will definitely consider coming back to you to pick our next outfit!




Check out the ladies looking lovely in their Yours Clothing dresses, we think you look stunning, congratulations on your win and good luck in Hawaii!

Perfect plus size summer dresses



Yey! The sun is shining at last! And if you are feeling, hot, hot, hot, then now is the time to bare some flesh – and what better way to stay cool, yet stylish, than with a dress?
Here at YOURS CLOTHING, we have the perfect plus size summer dresses especially for you. Whether you are looking for a midi, maxi or mini, YOURS CLOTHING has the answer.
Our fashionable, plus size dresses come in all shapes, lengths and prints to suit women with curves.
Here’s how to pick the right dress for your body shape:

Plus size summer dress for short, curvy women

Enjoy the floral prints in a micro print or paisley style to flatter your figure as big flowers can work against your size.

Avoid full-length dresses by balancing out your figure with an above the knee style.

The best cuts are a V-neck to draw attention upward and elongate the torso.


This plus size floral dress will flatter shorter women with curves.


 Plus size summer dresses for tall, curvy women


A halter-neck style will show off sculptured shoulders and arms. Any fitted fabrics around the chest and upper waist are also great picks for women with curves, since they create a slight silhouette for a more pulled together look.
Maxi dresses are especially flattering but choose one which will accentuate your best feature. If you want to emphasise your bust, choose a halter or bandeau style.
Since the maxi dress is not fitted from head to toe, pick a dress that is tighter around your best attribute.






Below, is a selection of some our favourite plus size dresses which we think you will love too.



These plus size dresses are some of our favourites, available now from Yours Clothing.  
These dresses range from £40 to £35 and are perfect for summer days and nights.
