Plus sized sequins?!

Help please S&Bers... I am finding myself constantly drawn to sequins at the moment.

Just bought the most beautiful navy sequin party dress sized 18 and it made me took like a pregnant disco ball! 🪩 So I sadly had to send it back.

What glittering cool and fabulous styles can a XXL middle aged lady wear this festive season, without looking frumpy or preggers?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

As a fellow fat sequin lover, I either keep them to a minimum, or think 'to hell with it' and shine away.

I bought some fabulous champagne sequinned trousers from H&M last year. Problem is the sequins catch on each other and lock together as I walk, leaving me to strut about like a toddler long overdue a nappy change.

I wouldn't go for sequins all over, decide if you want them on the upper half or lower half of your outfit and then go from there.

Here are a few suggestions (and I quite like how they have them on the models so there are some suggestions on how to wear them and pair them with other clothes)

Option 1 - Sequin collared shirt
Option 2 - This link is for a jumper but the skirt the model is wearing is what I wanted to show you
Option 3 - for all over, it would have to be a dress

Thank you!
Love the skirt!
I would look like a xmas bauble in the dress 🪩

I like the evening offerings from M&S this year - and I’m not always that impressed with them. Sequins I really love on other people - especially when they make them work in the daytime with an old bashed up pair of jeans. You should be guided by what feels great when you put it on. Don’t worry too much about “rules” on size or anything else. We’re very programmed around dressing to be “flattering” there’s only so much a bit of fabric can do. Don’t dim your light OP.

Love the skirt @Divebar2021

I think picking one area to sequinify is the way forward!

Honestly I'd just wear the sequins. Ive just bought the sequins and they make me so happy
