Model vs Me 👗 | Size 8 vs Size 14

The model shows you the style… but I’ll always show you the fit. And this M&S polka dot dress is proof that confidence comes from the fit, not the label. ✨

Featuring ruching across the tummy (smooth without squeezing) and flattering detail at the bust, it’s a size-inclusive win that works for curves too.

This dress deserves a moment. ✨

The asymmetric neckline is still bra-friendly (yes, really!), the ruched faux-wrap detail gives instant tummy confidence, and the velvet hugs all the right places while skimming over everything else.
It’s luxe, flattering, and the kind of dress you don’t forget.

Also comes in black, navy blue and emerald green and every colour is gorgeous.

I’ve linked all colours and my shoes. My earrings you can find on my website at Fiorella Earrings. ✨

Went out last night and didn’t get any photos, so here are some stills from a video 😭😂🫣

Red and black is a personal fave look for me.

#LTKmidsize #LTKfestive #LTKuk

This M&S diamanté mesh dress is one of those pieces that just works.
Sheer but considered, stretchy and secure through the arms — it’s coverage without feeling hidden.

I’m wearing a UK 14, regular length.
It sold out quickly (no surprise), but I’m sharing it here for fit reference and in case it restocks — plus I’ve linked similar options that give the same feel.

Nothing to hide. Nothing to fix.

The most asked question I get… is my shaping bodysuit.
The one you see me start the majority of my reels in, but I know lots of you prefer an online option, so I’ve linked my faves too.

Both give that smooth, lifted, confident fit under dresses, jumpsuits and trousers.
I wear a size L in this style.

Shop the similar styles here:
• H&M Shaping Bodysuit – supportive, smooth finish, great for sweetheart necklines. Also had poppers.

Looking beyond christmas and new year to the winter months where comfort dressing is a must! Think wide leg soft touch trousers, knits and jackets.

Some even come in different colours which I have linked too .

#LTKmidsize #LTKuk #LTKwinter

I try them on so you don’t have to guess what they look like on us midsize girls!

I saw this one and wanted to try it to see how it fairs on the LBD scale. Pretty good is the answer. Bodycon dresses are the top of my list nowadays but with the right base of underwear it skims and not clings, has a fabulous neckline and the mesh adds elegance.

I’m wearing a size 16

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKpartywear

I’m all for dressing up on Christmas Day and I wanted to try some of the Club L London dresses that I thought would fit the bill. From the classic Christmas red, to champagne sparkle and velvet luxe.

New Look Velvet & Mesh Embellished Midi Dress (Size 14)
This dress is all about the neckline — the diamanté trim creates a soft sweetheart shape that instantly defines the top half and gives a super flattering, sculpted look.
Velvet skims, mesh smooths, and the fit is confidence-boosting without being restrictive.

I’m wearing a size 14.

Karen Millen Christmas Day contenders ❤️💚
Two statement dresses — bold red or luxe green — both in the Black Friday deals so they’re a steal right now.
Sizing note: the large pulled too much due to the weight of the dress, so the medium is the better fit.

Also available in chocolate, gold, turquoise and nude.

#LTKpartywear #LTKmidsize #LTKuk

Black sequin wide-leg jeans that do all the work ✨

❤️ Red Textured Sparkle Knit
Festive, cosy and perfect for December days.

💚 Green Faux-Fur Jacket
Full winter luxe — so chic with the sequins.

🖤 Black Puff-Sleeve Embellished Knit
Classic glam and an effortless night-out look.

Sparkly wide-leg jeans from M&S ✨
High-rise, comfy, and the glitter is subtle enough for daytime but still festive for nights out. I styled them 4 different ways so you can see how versatile they are:

Look 1: Gold Metallic Shirt
Instant glam. Dressy without being over the top.

Look 2: Red “Merry & Bright” Knit
Festive, cosy, and so easy to throw on.

Look 3: Black Sparkle Mesh Top
Party-ready. Sparkle-on-sparkle but still chic.

Look 4: Deep Green Velvet Jacket
Structured, classy, and smartens the jeans instantly.

Stretchy, lined where it needs to be, semi-sheer sleeves for soft arm coverage and a gorgeous sequin mesh overlay.

Going to a black tie and need to find a dress, had never tried Club L London before so thought I would play safe and go for a size 16, which I’m pleased I did!

It was hard enough to choose to order a selection let alone choose from these four! But I think I have my fave!…. Do you?

✨ Confidence-Boosting Partywear – Size 14-16 Try-On ✨

I’ve pulled together all the party dresses that actually make you feel amazing, flattering fits, sparkly fabrics and silhouettes that move with your body, not against it. 💃

These pieces are proof that good design does the hard work for you. Shaping where you want definition, skimming where you don’t and catching the light in all the right places. ✨

Whether it’s a sweetheart neckline, a faux wrap waist or a little stretch velvet, it’s all about balance, movement and confidence that lasts past midnight.

I’ve linked the dresses from lots of different retailers too, as some are selling out fast and just in case one doesn’t have your size, you’ve got options. 💫

Dress for the woman you are now. Don’t hide. 🤍

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKpartywear

✨ Model & Me | New Look ✨

If you loved the burgundy velvet dress that everyone went crazy for — this is the same design but in a fit & flare style that’s even more flattering! 💃🏼

🖤 Bra-friendly one-shoulder neckline
🖤 Stretch fabric that moves with you
🖤 Fit & flare cut = instant waist definition
🖤 Long midi length for a glam, elegant silhouette

True to size — I’m wearing a UK 14.
Perfect for Christmas parties, winter weddings or any occasion where you want to feel confident and comfortable ✨

#LTKuk #LTKpartywear #LTKmidsize

✨ Two ways to wear black sparkle this party season ✨

Both New Look dresses bring the glam, but in totally different ways 👇🏼

🖤 Full Sparkle: All-over diamanté studs that catch every bit of light — flattering, curve-hugging and perfect for those “main character” moments. The stretch velvet fabric smooths beautifully and feels luxe without being heavy.

🖤 Half Sparkle: The shimmer top adds subtle sparkle, while the velvet wrap skirt cinches the waist and drapes softly over curves. It’s comfortable, elegant and a great place to start if you’re working on building your confidence and don’t want to go full sequin just yet.

Both are true to size — I’m wearing a UK 14 and both are perfect for Christmas parties, winter weddings or a glam date night.

Which one’s your vibe: full sparkle or velvet glam? ✨

My go-to hair combo for bouncy, shiny volume 💁🏻‍♀️✨
I use the Color Wow Xtra Large Volumiser for root lift (total hero product!) and finish with Pop & Lock for shine and smoothness.
Styled with the Dyson Airwrap — pricey but worth every penny!
I got mine from Very so I could split the payments 🙌🏼

#LTKxAmazon #LTKbeauty #LTKuk

The new Keeo Genius Pro+ hair straightener is a world first, custom heat + custom tension for your own unique hair 💁🏼‍♀️✨

I’ve got very thick, coarse hair and this glides through without tugging or snagging. It leaves my hair sleek, glossy, and smooth while protecting it from damage.
