BGN WORKSHOP: Allover Flower Flared Romance Plus Size Dress Review



Hi, Guys!!!

Today's post is about a plus size dress REVIEW from BGN Workshop

When BGN Workshop approached me for a colab to review one of their clothing items I had never heard of them and this meant that I had to do a quick research on them to see what they offer and assess if ever what they do aligns with what I represent.

Boy, i was in for a great surprise!!! When I went into their site I instantly fell in love with everything they offer plus sized women especially the dresses. 

BGN Workshop is a clothing company that sells plus size clothing items. Their clothes represent different styles from fun and casual, office range, cocktail and evening pieces etc … you get everything you need in one place, their site ofcozJ. They cater for women who are size 14 – 22 and shipping for all purchased items is free worldwide: that’s a bonus right???

For me to get my dress took 2 days and that's amazing.

So, I love dresses (if you didn't know). When I was supposed to choose one item  I seriously go lost in a pool of amazing dressses that BGN workshop offers. Eventually I was stuck with two dresses to choose from (short and maxi).

There was also a skirt I loved, so I had 3 options and needed to choose one. A criteria had to be drawn up actually more like self interrogation as to why I needed that item badly.

With the dresses this is the assessment I did: 

1. Both are more like ALine shaped which makes the competition fair.
2. Style is different but both amazing

Deciding factor: was that I am short and wide at the hips _ due to that I usually get lost in maxi dresses/skirts. Also, everyone has been rocking the 70s bell sleeved clothing items and I had none in my closet. The short Flower Flared Romance Dress had to win.

The skirt: what skirt???? Lol, the skirt fell of too because its just a skirt☺. To be honest, I was just excited to get something 70s inspired and the dress had to be chosen.


This dress is an unlined fit and flare stretch jersey material. It is comfortable and an easy to wear dress. When I was choosing it I knew it would sit nicely around my hips _ I fully approve the fit: Yay!!! This is one of those dresses that you can buy in different colors because the fit and versatility.




 I wore the dress to work and I was getting compliments all day. Yaaaasssssss!!!! I am a sucker for compliments especially when I am feeling myself.





I swear this dress made me feel happy and I felt like dancing all day. I guess its the flare bottom skirt and the hype I had for the bell sleeves. I was very happy I finally had this stylish item.

Hello 2016!!!

Hi everyone...
 
It feels very weird to actually be writing this post as I have written so many in my mind since the last time I posted here. It has been very difficult to sit down and do an actual post due to many things (lack of a photographer but mostly lack of motivation) but I am very happy to be writing one tonight.
 
I really have missed doing this and have missed all of you and your strong support on what I do. Thank you so much for everything guys, mostly for allowing me to be me. All is deeply appreciated!!!
 
Quick Update: I have a photographer for daily outfits posts (my colleague - Mandisa Maforevane). She is a blessing in my life and she came at the right time. This is a major achievement for me and I celebrate everyday for this. You all know how much I have been struggling on this regard eversince my relocation to Johannesburg. All of that resulted in me not posting at all on this page. I know, I could have continued to post about beauty products I use or items I have copped (sneakers mostly) --- or even blog about my weightloss journey.
 
I don't know - I guess I was just demotivated. Last time I posted something here I felt like I was cheating you guys as I blogged about #AdidasSuperstarSneakers without full body pictures of me wearing them. I tried but became unhappy afterwards. Anyway, I am back now and I am intending to ensure that I give you all nice and juicy posts.
 
I have taken many pictures in the past month and I will try as much as I can to write blog posts about all those outfits - am sure you have seen most of them as I have been keeping myself busy on other social media mediums like Instagram, Facebook and twitter... I just feel a need to still write about them and be permanently available here.
 
I have many collaborations done and others coming up with designers, plus-size bloggers and plus-size clothing stores etc.... I cant wait to share info about all these projects with you but you will have to wait a lil bit :) sorry!
 
For tonight: ill share just one picture to remind you of how I look like, lol mostly its a reminder of how my style taste is like. I am not gonna talk about what I am wearing now as another post with enough supporting pictures of this outfit will be posted shortly. There is no particular reason why I chose this picture out of all pictures I have taken so far except that, it has captured perfectly what I am all about on the style front - "Vintage Inspired Style and me being a Sneaker-Head Queen".


 
Dress: Mr Price
Dress worn as a coat: Thrifted
Bag: Chanel
Shoes: Puma
Glasses: MiuMiu
 
Hope you are ready for everything good I am bringing this year (what is left of it). If you have any specific interest that you would like me to come on my posts please give suggestions on the comment box of this post - ill try my best to ensure all get covered depending on feasibility of the request of-course.
 
Good Night .... Rather, Good Morning y'all :)
 
Love you lots,
 
Thulie
