TGIF!
Going out can be a drama for the plus-size woman. It is really difficult to find something to suit the occasion that is available in anything over a size 14. A search of the internet will turn up lots of listings for swimwear and maternity gear with the odd smattering of lingerie thrown in. If you are looking for PM wear then the hunt is long and hard.
Enter Kivalin. Kivalin is an Australian online store that specialises in clothes for plus-sized women. Their range includes evening wear and dresses. The even have some light weight tops and jackets which can be worn with sleeveless tops if you prefer to be covered. The range includes a lot of lace and velvet, and has a slight touch of the romantic goth about it, but there are also the designs that are classically elegant and will never date. One such gown is pictured below, with its soft flowing lines and simple diamonte feature at the waist.
Here is a sample from their collection. If you really want to party on a Friday night, then take your plus-sized self to this great online store.

Well why didn’t you tell me about this mob last year when i was so desperately looking for a mother of the groom outfit that didn’t look mother of the groomy???!!!!!
I had an outfit made amd when i eventually collected it 3 days before the wedding - it was a disaster! So for the next 2 days I hunted for an outfit in plus sizes (just after the spring racing carnival when nothing was left) to wear to the wedding!
The trauma and stress from that event literally drained me for months!
Decent plus sized clothing is really hard to find. I think I will keep my eyes open for little finds like this. It is worth a whole category to itself.
I wish I’d known about this site a few weeks ago, I would have got a new dress for Mums Night Out.
Thanks for letting us know about it. They have some gorgeous gowns & dresses.
Wow - they have definitely gone into my bookmarks folder. Just because we are gorgeous and curvy doesn’t mean we have to be frumpy! Long live Kivalin!
