The Prettiest Curvy Girl Floral Spring Retro Dress

Yasmina Greco Spring Dress Curvy Girl Marie Heart of Haute crazy4me

I know it is snowing even blizzarding in many parts right now but living in California we are truly blessed with gorgeous weather. This weekend it felt like Spring was in the air and I was so excited to wear my new Marie Dress in Olive Flora from one of my very favorite brands Heart of Haute and even made a little video for you all here.

I have featured many fabulous outfits from Heart of Haute on my blog from the Betsey Blouse, to the Donna Dress, to the Dragonfly Marie Dress, and also the Amanda Dress. I love Heart of Haute so much because they make such beautiful clothing for sizes XS-4X and have the vintage flair in all their designs. I know I can always order my standard 2X size and I will look chic and fashionable in it.

Meet Eva

Yasmina Greco Lady V London Eva Birds in Paradise

Lady V London has done it again with the perfect dress for curvy gals – the Eva. I was so excited when I first saw this new style released a couple weeks ago and could not wait to style it. Lady V’s Lyra wrap dress is my wardrobe staple and I have one in every color and print because a wrap style dress is a busty gals best friend. The Eva has a crossover neckline or faux wrap as I refer to it and that got my attention. Also, the beautiful Birds in Paradise print with touches of teal blue and pink would make it a breeze to accessorize with cardigans and petticoats. I could not wait for my Eva to arrive.

Polka Dots, Curves in Wine Country

Yasmina Greco Polka Dot Windsor

I wanted to share some pics with you all from my weekend in wine country. We are so fortunate to live in beautiful wine country California and have really great weather pretty much all year. This past weekend was so lovely, sunny, and cool with a little wind. Hubby and I headed to the quaint towns of Windsor and Healdsburg about 70 miles North of San Francisco.

I had a completely different outfit planned for this excursion but it didn’t work out well for my curves…. we will save that story for another time and another curvy blog post. I had seen this polka dot top in a magazine and being the lover of polka dots that I am, I had to have it. I was so happy to see the blouse come in plus size as it would need to fit my curves and it is a wrap top so I knew it would fit my bust and I was not disappointed when it arrived. The blouse had such a luxurious feel to it and it was made really well. Usually plus size curvy clothing from department stores are not all that well made and do not usually have a shape so I was pleasantly surprised what fast fashion from Macy’s delivered. Details here for Polka dot blouse.

1950s Pinup Girl Dresses for Curvy Girls Part 1

I have always wanted to wear dresses and skirts, beautiful girly blouses too but, with my ample bosom, small waist and curvy hips, No Way could I walk into my local Macy’s and walk out with something gorgeous that hugged my curves in a lady-like way and made me feel and look beautiful. Ladies with my curvy figure, you know what I am talking about. If the dress top fits then it is so big and unflattering in the middle, you look like you are expecting, or, if you can find a blouse that buttons across your breasts, the rest is so big in the waist and sides that you just want to yank it off.

It was this recent Spring, thanks to my husband ( he has a real knack for these things), that I discovered a couple sources for beautifully made clothing, styled after the 1950s-1960s, and had the right looks, colors and cuts to accentuate my curvy figure while making me feel so pretty and lady-like. Here is one of my favorite sources (I will post up additional sources in part 2)

This site has sizes in XS- 4X, all clothing is made in the USA too!! They make couture for every body and really support and promote body confidence for women. I started out with the below dresses buying them in a 2X so that they fit my ample breasts and then I add a belt around the middle to accentuate my waist/hips. The fabric is so luxurious, all I want to do is twirl, twirl, twirl. And let me warn you, if you are not accustomed to receiving compliments, you better prepare yourself as you will!! I receive non-stop compliments when I wear these beautiful clothes. You can see more of my outfits on my Instagram page –

Jenny Dress in Snow White Print. The colors are incredible on this sundress and it is boned and fused through the bodice to give it amazing structure. I actually wore it for the first time to a high-profile work event, topped with a sunny yellow cardigan.

The peasant-style bodice flatters a range of bust sizes, has a slimming fit through the waist, and then opens up in a full vintage style skirt I have a photo shoot next weekend and will definitely be wearing this stunning dress (stay tuned for pics to come).

The Birdie Dress in blue with yellow peony flowers. This was my very first dress from pinupgirlclothing. When it arrived I was so excited to put it on. The fit was really incredible, it hugged me just where I needed it to and all I wanted to do was twirl. The dress has a full skirt, wide notched collar creating a classic, polished silhouette. Finished off with a side zipper and wide matching belt, this lovely dress is made of a rich cotton sateen. I really felt like I was wearing a magical creation from the 1950s (stay tuned for pics, I will wear it at my photo shoot next week).
