Fashion To Figure Review



Fashion to Figure is a plus size fashion site that offers plenty of variety for women of substance. I recently got a chance to review a dress from their site and found myself pleased with the purchase. I am always on the lookout for places to buy plus sized clothing....I want to be large with STYLE....not Muumuus. At Fashion to Figure I found many options for the picky dresser from maxi dresses to jersey shirts with rhinestone buttons. They also offer the basics.


My dress is no longer offered on the site, or I would show you a picture. It's a glittery, lightweight strapless dress with some great draping fabric....perfect for a summer night. My only complaint with the dress is that the gold glitter now sparkles everywhere in my house....but I've never had such a glittery dress before....it may just be that that kind of fabric does that.

You'll find yourself contemplating styles you might never have thought of before when you visit their site. I tend toward simplicity....and by that I mean I'm a chicken when it comes to being stylish....so this site was an eyeopener. They have neons and polkadots, boleros and kimonos. They also have plenty of fashion jewelry to accent your outfit.

Make An Earring Holder

Here's a stylish little earring holder you can make quite simply!! And, it even includes *burlap* (que crafters fainting). It's a great way to display your earrings. And, it helps to remind you of earrings you may have overlooked....

Alright, here's the list of supplies:

Wire Mesh (by the roll at Agway)
Burlap
Ribbon
Picture Frame
Hot Glue
Tiny Nails (to tack down the mesh)


~Take the wooden frame and measure some mesh to fit over it, no overlapping (it would cause sharp edges).
~With the frame right side facing up, tack the wire down with the tiny nails in the corners to help secure it. 
~ Trim out a piece of burlap to cover the back of the frame (optional....I made two different holders, one with burlap behind and one without and I liked them both the same) and hot glue it into place. 
~Trim some burlap into long 2" wide lengths.
~Lay the lengths down on the front of the frame, over the wire, and make pleats (every two inches or so) and use the hot glue to hold them in place on the frame. 
~Glue some of the ribbon over the inside edge.

You're done!!
