So, when I heard that a local girl was starting up her own online retail business, I was excited for her and wanted to be involved. The brains behind Love My Figure, Love My Fashion, Laura Faulds began her journey after she made the realisation that she was not alone when it came to being unsure of how to best dress your particular body shape. Her dream was to create an online clothes site that helped everyday women to select the perfect dress no matter if they were a rectangle shape, apple or hourglass. Giving women the confidence that they can make the most of their body shape, no matter what size it may be, Love My Figure, Loves My Fashion caters for real women.
I heard Laura was looking for models and bloggers for her new business venture and I immediately contacted her to register my interest. As soon as I met with her, I knew she had it in her to be successful. She is a strong, confident, down to earth woman who is clearly passionate about her business and has a strong set of core values which I can see she honestly believe in. She is determined and genuinely a lovely person so I hope she does become successful.
One of the things I know I struggle with is trying to figure out what style and colours I should be wearing to flatter my rectangle figure and it seems that the majority of women are equally confused! Laura has made this easy for us by telling you which of five body shapes you have and then linking you to dresses that would suit your figure = amazing!
For my first shoot with LMF LMF, I was given three gorgeous dresses to wear and each one hid my flaws but showcased my best body parts. I was amazed by how spot on she got it!
The first dress I was given was a sexy sequin shoulder v-from midi dress that nipped me in at the waist and gave me more shape on the top half of my body. You can find this beautiful Ax Paris dress here.
The second dress I was given was an equally flattering and was in fact my favourite one of the three. The beauty of this particular polka-dot print dress is that it has a classic fit that works well for both work and play. Its pretty pleated neckline and deep side pockets make it an attractive and stylish piece that you can get a lot of wear out of. You can buy this cute Closet dress here.
The third and final dress I was asked to model was a fabulous Isabella vertical stripe cut out back dress from Dehlia. This nautical style dress is made from structured cotton which gives you a well defined waist and its open back provides an unusual and flirty twist to your pretty day dress. You can treat yourself to this beauty here.
I had an amazing day modelling for Love My Figure, Love My Fashion and I would encourage any woman who struggles to find the perfect dress to do the online body shape calculator and see for themselves what type of body shape you have.
