Rarely do I review anything on this site other than my own bizarre thoughts, but when given the opportunity to review some fabulous fashions for Igigi, maker of lovely, lovely clothing for women sized 12-32, I jumped at the chance.

I have long admired Igigi’s gorgeous dresses, since I have seen them frequently gracing the beautiful frame of one Miss Wendy Bix, who is one hell of a fashion plate.

I have perused the website longingly but have been reluctant to buy, because let’s face it, I am a Target shopper, and I believed that until the talented and forward-thinking Yuliya Raquel decided to drop a discount line, all hope was lost.

This was happily not so. I went to Weetacon a few weeks ago and participated in a charity raffle, and although the stars are generally aligned against me in terms of luck, I won a hundred-dollar gift certificate for Igigi!

Imagine my surprise. I was seriously over the moon!

As soon as I got home, my hot little hands were on my laptop, searching for the Igigi website.

I purchased two items with my hundred dollars, both fantastic deals from their sale section.

The first item I bought was the Imperia Lace Dress.

I cannot fully begin to express how much I love this elegant, gorgeous dress. It is truly Choice. It feels like a dream – luxurious and comfortable and sassy all at the same time.

This photo, taken by the J-Man, really does not do it justice, but here is me, wearing the dress:

Holy Cleavage, Batman.

Nice, no? Very nice.

It nods its head toward old-school glamour, and I love that. The dress is perfect with a pair of black platform round-toed pumps, or maybe some cute little retro Mary Janes.

Love.

The second item I purchased was the Marcela Wrap Jacket.

This finely constructed jacket can either be dressed up, as shown on the model, or down, as shown here:

I love it. It was probably not shown here to its best advantage with my ratty Tegan and Sara t-shirt, but take note! This jacket can make even your ratty Tegan and Sara t-shirt look awesome and stylish and chic.

I cannot get over the superior fit of these garments. As a, shall we say, big-boob-ed-ed girl, I am very hard to fit in both dresses and jackets, yet both of these pieces fit beautifully and comfortably, with no binding or pulling across the girls.

I will most definitely shop Igigi again, cost be damned. The quality construction of these garments as well as the superior stylings make throwing down a few bucks well worth it.

It’s hard to find fashion-forward clothing in larger sizes that does not scream “Omar the Tent Maker” or “Boring Blah Blah Blah”. Yuliya Raquel and crew have managed to create beautiful, comfortable, sexy pieces that flatter women of all sizes and shapes.

AND, to top it all off, if you use the promotional code WEETACON up until the end of March, you will receive a staggering twenty percent off of your purchase price. Not bad at all!

Go forth and shop, beautiful ladies.

Happy Thursday.
