"As a plus-size shopper, separates are a tricky game: finding denim that doesn't sag at the knee and gape at the back is a constant plight, I have yet to experience tailoring that contours my curves in a well-fitting way, and I have never met a co-ord that doesn't make me look like a human Flump.

"That said, a lot of plus-size designs on the market in the high street are, well, quite crap. They are frumpy, ill-considered and not fashion-forward or exciting. Which is why this summer I was inspired to launch a collaboration with dress brand Rixo a 16-piece collection of size-inclusive dresses that evoke a sense of freedom, the idea that with one swish of a great dress over your head you are handled, you are stylish, you are good."
Plus-size shoppers frequently encounter ill-fitting separates: denim that sags at the knee, gaping at the back, poor tailoring, and unflattering co-ords. Many high-street plus-size designs are frumpy, ill-considered, and lack fashion-forward appeal. A 16-piece size-inclusive dress collection with Rixo aims to offer freedom and effortless style. Dresses can be generous in silhouette, so kaftan-style and oversized options expand usable choices beyond strict size labels. In-store trying on helps assess shape, while online shopping is riskier without prior knowledge of a brand's sizing. Examples mentioned include a Zara tie-dye tunic and an oversized Frankie Shop shirt dress.
