I’m a little giddy about Phase 8 – I have long lusted after their Collection 8 ball gowns and their jersey dresses are favourite go-to for smart, luxurious dresses perfect for throwing in a suitcase (they don’t need ironing!!!!)
But my giddiness have gone stellar since I heard whispers of the brand launching a brand new line of stylish clothes exclusively in sizes 16- 24.
Enter Studio 8!

| Sonia Dress |
The range has really blown me away. The print scream elegance and the cuts look to flatter the curves of a plus size body.
Unlike many other plus size retailers, Studio 8 haven’t played it safe. The range is bold with sleeveless dresses, plunging necklines, figure hugging dresses, bejewelled dresses and exaggerated waists!

| Blue Darcy Maxi Dress |
One of my favourite pieces is the Becky Scuba dress with an inky floral pattern, a v-neckline and a knee-length full skirt. I can see myself swanning across a country estate for a friends wedding in the dress, champagne flute in my hand as I channel my inner (and very hidden) Kate Middleton.
Now, I just need a friend to get married in a big country mansion (ahem – hint! hint!).

I have another favourite piece, but I’m going to have to wait for a few weeks as its currently being sent to me to review. Can you guess which it is?

| Pippa Print Dress |
Now tell me, which would you buy?
I'd go for the Becky Scuba dress – I like the structured neckline and the bold print!
