										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5166.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6075" title="DSCN5166" src="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5166.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="356" /></a>It isn&#8217;t easy for us plus size girls to shop for trendy, reasonable priced clothes, especially online. Much of what is available either isn&#8217;t trendy or it isn&#8217;t reasonably priced (to me just about any piece of clothing over $50 isn&#8217;t reasonable priced). This is where <strong><a href="http://fashiontofigure.com" target="_blank">Fashion to Figure</a></strong> comes in. Fashion to Figure is the place to go for affordable, trendy plus size fashions (sizes 12-26) on the web.  Another thing that makes shopping at Fashion to Figure affordable is their US shipping policy, orders under $70.00 pay a flat rate $5.95 for ground shipping and orders over $70.00 ship for FREE!</p>
<p>I chose to try the <strong><a href="http://www.fashiontofigure.com/istar.asp?a=29&amp;search=JD2120*&amp;view=JD2120&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank">s/s ity floral sublimation top</a></strong> which sells for $24.00. I love the top, it fits great&#8230;make sure you check the size chart on the website before ordering because their chart sized me differently than usual, and it is comfortable. My one problem with the top is the wide band around the bottom. Why do designers keep putting bands, elastic or ruffles around the least attractive parts of our bodies?? Obviously I didn&#8217;t pay close enough attention to the item description to see where it said &#8220;wide band hem&#8221; because if I had read that, I wouldn&#8217;t have ordered this top.</p>
<p><a href="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5168.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6081" title="DSCN5168" src="http://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5168.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="375" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5168.jpg 292w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/DSCN5168-163x300.jpg 163w" sizes="(max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px" /></a>Since I needed to be creative so that I could comfortably wear this top I folded the wide band under which made the top look more blouse-y at the bottom. I wore the top to church and I got several compliments on it. When I showed a few close friends that I had folded the bottom band under they said they couldn&#8217;t tell so that felt good. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve spent more time on the <strong><a href="http://fashiontofigure.com" target="_blank">Fashion to Figure</a></strong> website this week because I&#8217;m going on a cruise in October and I am on a hunt for a few adorable maxi dresses. What is your current fashion dilemma? Leave me a comment and let&#8217;s chat.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://annetteonline.com/collections/diva-defined/" target="_blank"><strong>Diva Defined</strong></a> is the newest collection from Annette International. It is an adjustable shapewear line designed to compliment the curvaceous  figure. Being an, ahem larger sized curvy girl, I have worn some shapewear in my time-so I was looking forward to checking out some of the Diva Defined collection. Annette International graciously sent me 2 pieces, the Adjustable Shapewear Brief and the Adjustable Shapewear Slimming Camisole.<br />
<img decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4661264753_6079444226_o.png" alt="" width="223" height="295" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1271/4661264679_d661e65164_o.png" alt="" width="223" height="297" />In the Diva Defined Collection each piece has an adjustable inner belt is invisible, lies flat &#8211; the belt&#8217;s hook and eye closure offers four levels of adjustment from moderate to firm control-something I have never seen in shapewear. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4661913052_a608f6e1e6_o.png" alt="" width="234" height="171" /></p>
<p>I wore the brief under the pants I wore to Aaron&#8217;s Hope Presbyterian School Graduation and I had it adjusted to the 3rd level of firmness. It was very comfortable-even sitting through the hour long service it didn&#8217;t feel constricting or pinching. I attempted to wear both the camisole and the briefs to his S.H.A.R.E. Homeschool graduation and that didn&#8217;t really work. There were 2 problems, first-the camisole wouldn&#8217;t stay down-it kept riding up on my belly and not doing its job. Second, because both pieces have the adjustable belt in them-the belts overlapped and made it bulky in the back. I sat through the 2 hour service but as soon as it was over I snuck into the restroom and took off the camisole before attending the reception and party. <em>If you don&#8217;t have big hips like I do, I am sure the camisole will fit you well.</em></p>
<p>I was so busy I almost forgot to take pictures of me wearing the brief, but here they are (they were taken after the graduation party and you can tell by my hair&#8230;I was exhausted).</p>
<div style="width: 265px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3461/4634062062_64f0755cb2_m.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="340" /><p class="wp-caption-text">with brief</p></div>
<div style="width: 268px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3348/4634067052_c9e616fbc7_m.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="343" /><p class="wp-caption-text">without brief</p></div>
<p>The brief definitely helps keep my jiggly parts from jiggling! If you are in the market for shapewear please check out <a href="http://annetteonline.com/collections/diva-defined/" target="_blank"><strong>Annette International&#8217;s Diva Defined Collection.</strong></a></p>
