Calling All Size 18s!

One of the creative directors, Truen James, from House of 5th contacted me this past weekend. House of 5th camp are really working on expanding their sizes.

Their first project is a bridal gown for a customer. The diva is a size 18th. House of 5th needs help with research on the fit of a plus size woman, especially with their bridal project. This is where you come in Divas! All you ladies who are a size 18 or flucuate between 16/18 or 18/20, email me rubyleonne@gmail.com, complete the survey below or post a comment about what your measurements are, where you tend to wear your weight and what problems do you find with clothing fit.

You actually get to have a say in what may be put on the market in the future! Don't miss this opportunity!

Thanks guys!

Kiss My Calves

Everyone has a pair of boots in their closet they love. Sometimes these boots become a little snug or uncomfortable. Or say you see the hottest boots ever, but there only for women with the calves of Olive Oyl from the cartoon "Popeye". 

Now there is a solution to your problem...(drumroll) BOOT BAND!

(bootband.com)

Boot band's website describes the product as a small insert that you can add to the zipper of your boot to increase the circumference by 2 1/2 inches.  The band, invented by Krista Barnett, comes in a variety of colors and designs. Prices range from $55 to $90 depending on the style of boot you're wanting to tailor. The one thing that looks difficult, especially if you're not a seamstress, is choosing the correct zipper according to the boot you have.

On the website, it says that it was featured in the Oprah magazine. I love Oprah's favorite things!

It's definitely worth a try if you have a pair of boots you've been crushing over. If you decide to try this product, send me your review and we'll post it to the blog.

Thanks to Angela Cannon for sending me this website!
