Here’s a secret…it doesn’t fit me. Sssshhh
So ladies, how’s the month of May taking you? One of my goals for the month was to seriously de-clutter my wardrobe. I realized that I am a hoader..big time. I had to let go of so many things like now my wardrobe is empty..(sob). Anyway, I found this cute kitenge print jumpsuit that I had made by a fashion designer; Vivienne Taa in 2017. You can be the judge and read that old post here. Back on track; yeah so I found this old cute thang, tried it on…ripped the zip *sigh* clearly I ain’t that size 14 girl no more. Don’t be fooled by the smile sis.
Though I asked this a couple of weeks back .. I think; what do you do with your “old” clothes? I decided to bless my cleaning ladies with clothes and shoes. They do so much for me so why not give them stuff in return right? You know when giving out clothes kindly don’t put in torn worn out clothes. That just wouldn’t be fair.
Anywho, since I believe that every Kenyan owns a kitenge jumpsuit ( correct me if I’m wrong) I want to bless someone with this one. It’s wide legged ( trust me since I added weight, you can’t tell lol) plus the off-shoulder ruffle detail is just beautiful. Makes the lucky girl feel like a senorita. Oh and the print..girl it is perfect for us curvy girls.
I think I’m slowly getting to know what kind of jumpsuits are for my body. For starters;
- It must be stretch material… I am talking about the light fabric. Heavy fabric will just make me uncomfortable.
- Now I know if it’s off-shoulder then the bottom should be a slim fit. It makes my body look better.
- Heck, I can withstand all sorts of colours! Be it neutral or loud your girl can rock it!
- Shoulder pads are a win in jumpsuits as seen in my last post here.
Sad, I will be parting with this beautiful jumpsuit but! I am on the hunt for a tailor who will make the right one! If you have any suggestions, be a dear and share it with me. Thank you!
Have a blessed week xx
OOh my God you look soo gorgeous in those jumpsuits. I really like your posts you pose that look of a queen.
You look so amazing in this, one could never tell what is happening at the back lol. I’ve never tried out an off shoulder jumpsuit so would definitely love to get this. My main tip when choosing one would be to watch out for that cameltoe.
Girl, it was a disaster at the back. Heh when it comes to the cameltoe it’s super tricky
First of all, your hair ??. It is so gorgeous.
Onto my perfect jumpsuit, as a size 14, the colours must be right since it covers the whole body. I either pick a dark solid shade or a colourful print piece.
The crotch must also fit perfectly- too short and my fupa shows ?, too long my curves are hidden.
For my body shape, I always go with sleeveless, off-shoulder jumpsuits or one with very thin straps to ensure I don’t look “boxy” since I have a larger lower body.
To being plus size and loving it?
Girlllllll, thank you (it is a weave from fashion idol). I love those tips. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I dont own a jumpsuit,never owned one but If I did, I’d ensure that the hands fit perfectly if it’s a long sleeve I’m aiming for.Not too fitting but the right amount for comfort because that’s key!I’d also ensure that the zip is stable because many at times when zipping up the zipper either becomes torn or part of the zipper lining gets torn.Whew Chile!I’m a size 18 and the struggle is real.You make plus size look good.You go girl!
Thank-you so much for your compliment. Yes, the zip issue..like girl I CANNOT stress that enough. Stop putting in thin zips that have an issue when it comes to zipping up.
How it fits between the waist down on to the thighs…
yes! That is so crucial.
The waist band should be high waist and not low waist . Works for me anytime…eyeing the jumpsuit though
Ah yes! The placement of the waist band is everything. If it’s placed below it throws off the whole look
My best plus-size influencer, I LOVE YOUR CONFIDENCE. ‘Who said we should all be slim????’ Just thinking…I love my plus sizeness 🙂
girl! We have to embrace and love our plus size bodies
Wow, beautiful, yes you share with your neighbour what you know even you yourself can wear, eat or drink. You do not give out bad things. I LOVE THIS
Definitely! Thankyou girlie xx
