Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Today I had two shows this morning which was Norma Kamali and and menswear line Rochambeau. I decided to wear a pleated open sleeve dress from H&M. This weekend I tweeted that I had a good find day at H&M. Everything I tried on looked great. However, out of all the pieces I picked up I was quite intrigued by this pleated midi dress. It really isn't my style. I like my dresses to hit at or above the knee, but for some reason I was attracted to this dress. I love the blush pink color and how it flatters my skin tone. I also love how the open sleeves drape over my arms. 
.
I've said on this blog numerous times that just because a store doesn't carry a full plus line doesn't mean you can't fit it. This dress is a size 14 and let me tell you, I haven't been a size 14 in about 3 years. I am about a size 18 now and this dress fits me better than some of my pieces from actual plus size stores. So, remember that it's very important to try things on you never know.
What do you think about this look for me?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you look stunning!
You are correct - it is not a usual look for you. But you wear it sooooo well! I love the color, I love the romantic shape and the pleats and the arms- what a great find. You look gorgeous girl!!
I'll say it again, I love ALL the dresses u wear! You've got a great eye for dresses the look great and fit you perfectly. I want one like this too!
You look beautiful! I love!!
You are killing me with all your dresses! I am jealous!
I had this dress in my hand the other day about to try on, but something made me put it back... I have been regretting it every since.
Yep, I will officially be going back to my store tomorrow to get this dress. especially with H&M I always tend to ignore to sizing tag, because what matters most if the type of material that is used in a garment and how that piece is cut.
This dress looks gorgeous on you! I always wish I could wear this dusty rose color, but I'm so pasty white & pale that this color washes me right out, makes me look dead. You're rockin' it! Thanks for the reminder to try shopping in places where we assume we won't find anything in our sizes - sometimes that's where the best pieces are hidden!

Love the dress and accessories...just not the bag, the shape and colour are dull. You needed another pop of color!
The dress looks really beautiful and the colour is divine against your skintone. You need to do a hair post on how you maintain and style it weekly cause it always looks on point :)

U look great. I love midi dresses and skirts. in fact i love this dress so much i went to H&M and got it. Its so well made i cant believe my size 18/20 frame got into a 14! thanks girl!
Great find! You look dynamic. I tried this dress on but it wasn't a good fit for a small bust. Love the pop of purple with the shoes. Can't wait to see you winterize it before NY gets too cold (:
I love the dress! You look stunning!!!
