Whether
you are browsing through a shop, or checking out the latest styles
online; how many times have you said to yourself "If only I
could see clothes on someone the same size as me!" I'm
betting hundreds, if not thousands of times. I know that I
have.
When
you are a plus size woman in particular, 99% of the time the model
you see wearing the dress that you want is not your size. The way it
looks on her will not be the way that it looks on you. What I have
done in the past is order a large selection of clothing and hope that
one or more items look the way I want it to. That is obviously not
ideal, particularly if you are on a budget.
However,
no matter what size you are, even if you did see a model wearing your
exact size, you are not guaranteed that it will look the same on you
either. Two people can have the same dress size, but look completely
different in it due to their difference in shape. A larger
bottom, a smaller waist; large breasts; tall or short; all can make a
vast different in how clothes look on you. so you never really know
until you try something on.
Until
now. It turns out, there is another way.
I recently discovered a site called Beaucoo.
Beaucoo
enables users to upload their photographs via their Android
or Iphone
apps of what they are wearing that day. Now how it that different to
any number of fashion blogs out there? Well, the difference is that
when you join Beaucoo alongside
creating your profile, you also enter your measurements and your
height. These are stored confidentially and are not visible to other
users.
Hit
the “Fit Match” button and hey presto, pictures of women with
your measurements are shown to you, wearing whatever they have posted
on to the site. Along with the photographs are the size they are
wearing, wear they got it from and along, how it fits.
What
I particularly love is that because the photographs are uploaded by
regular people, the outfits have also been styled in their own way so
you can also get inspiration of how to wear your garment.
Beaucoo
is an amazing site which not only lets users share their pictures for
the benefit of others, but also promotes body positivity across all
the social networks, just search for the hashtag #BoPo. Check out
this Video to see what their
message is.
Beaucoo
offer a number of buttons to enable you to spread the word on your
blog or website and also have a blog themselves which covers a
variety of subjects including body positivity, plus size and petite
fashion as well as celebrity style and DIY fashion which offers many
tips, trick and ideas to help you out.
Like me, I think that you'll find Beaucoo becoming the indispensable wardrobe aid you can't live without!
