I went to the Fuller Woman Expo in Toronto a few weeks ago and...
I LOVED IT. I ALSO ENDED UP IN THE FASHION SHOW and....
LOVED THE EXPERIENCE.

But I will start with the next day when I met... Monif C., http://www.monifc.com/ and Laura from Lola & Gigi, http://www.lolaandgigi.com/, at her Warehouse/Boutique (can't decide to call it a warehouse, it is way to nice).
Do you know them? NOOOOO? Well you should.
It felt so good to discover new styles, sexy and chic. At least I KNOW that I have less chance of crossing MY dress on someone else's body!!! And yes I bought the famous Monif C.'s convertible dress.
Monif C. is a designer and has a Boutique in New York. She sells online but I preferred to buy it at Lola & Gigi to save on shipping costs.
Check out their website and I'll hear your Oh Ah Wow.
Oh before I forget, check out my pictures on Monif C.'s website, I am so proud!

Have you seen this black coat?

Do you know what I love about that Monif C. dress? It suits Plus Size Women and NOT Small Size Women! This is what we want. Not a small size dress with more material!

It does take a little bit of practice to wrap the dress nicely and... some help at the beginning.
And here is the Fuller Woman Expo
and some of the nice and creative people I have met:
The coat I am wearing on the picture is from a brand new manufacturer from New Jersey, La-Dans Closet.
They have issues with their website right now but check them out regularly: www.la-danscloset.com (I bought that coat, loved the colour, the style).
Here is another coat from Designer La Tresa (left) my dear friend Emilienne on the right (she pushed me to go in the fashion show).
I was really excited to discover new stores and share what I found with you ladies.
Here are a few:
Sexy Plus Clothing, online store, "mobile" store and a location in a flea market in Toronto
Curvaceous Consignments, with 2 locations in the Toronto area.
Full Fabulous Figures, Labrador City, NL (where else could I have found her? Another Catherine.
Oval Clothing, Pittsburgh (carrying Petite Plus Size).
