I have a OMG-major obsession with Tadashi Shoji and his commitment to extending his red carpet looks to plus size women (up to US 24W). He is the perennial favorite designer of Octavia Spencer as his designs are extremely flattering on curvy figures. I was fortunate enough to participate in a Tadashi Shoji Styling Challenge last year, and the dress is probably one of my favorites I've ever owned.
I also wore this style from Tadashi Shoji to Full Figured Fashion Week 2014
Here's a sneak peek at the 2013 Tadashi Shoji Fall/Holiday plus size collection, which is now available for pre-order. These are jaw-dropping dresses that were adapted straight from Tadashi's show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. To see items on the runway that I can actually wear and look beautiful in is amazing. I am obsessed with the way these dresses have luxurious details and fabrics coupled with incredible draping that flatters curves. I am currently trying to think of how many fancy events I can find in order to wear these dresses – they're just incredible.
