When it comes to fun, varied well priced plus size items Excite Clothing ticks all of the boxes. I first discovered them when I was on the hunt for some plus size boleros, and they haven’t let me down yet!
They recently gave their website a wee make over and added loads of scrummy items. Claire from Excite was generous enough to send me two size 18 ruched bodycon dresses.
I think that it’s very clear that I love a good bodycon dress, and so I was excited to see how these would fit!
The dresses are made out of a silky stretch material that clings to my figure without showing off my lesser loved lumps.
The little capped sleeves fit perfectly over my arms and don’t dig in or feel uncomfortable.
I loved the patterns on the dresses. Plus size women can sometimes be stuck with butterflies and small floral prints, but these dresses were something very different and an exciting choice to have!
I loved how the dresses fit me, and although I did add a belt when I wore the blue one to work, I *almost* don’t need one.
The length is a tiny bit shorter than I am happy with, and I will no doubt only ever pair the dresses with tights and leggings. Pairing silky materials with leggings can mean a slight riding up issue, especially when you run for as many trains and buses as I do…
The neckline was rather flattering, despite being quite high. I think that the capped sleeves help balance out the look, and overall it is quite versatile.
My favourite dress is the blue as it is so dainty and pretty. My boyfriend favoured the other, as he loves red and black. He also commented at how well these dresses fitted without a belt, but definitely preferred it when I added one.
These dresses are stocked in UK size 16 – 32 and I feel sure they will be flying off the virtual shelves this summer!

I paired these dresses with my Freya Deco, my Maidenform shapewear and my shoes from M&S that are now several seasons old.
