It may only be September but I already know what I’m excited for this Autumn/Winter. No not just pumpkin spiced lattes and no not even Christmas (not quite yet anyway!).

I’m starting to get a little excited about The Curve Fashion Festival. For anyone that’s never heard of it, it’s a plus size fashion festival which takes place once a year, designed for ladies of all shapes and sizes from a size 14 up. Have I got your attention?

I’ve been to many fashion festivals and catwalk shows over the years due to my passion for the design industry, but my main issue? I never felt like I really fitted in? The clothes on sale would always go up to a size 12/14 max and the models all looked liked they’d walked out of Vogue, which I’m not slating at all – they were all absolutely gorgeous! But not being able to relate, not being able to imagine how you’d look in those clothes or that my body probably didn’t even fit in those clothes, it was more than a little disappointing. Was a little diversity too much to ask for?

So do you get why I’m so excited to go this year? I only actually found out what The Curve Fashion Fest was last year and it was just a few weeks before the event. I saw so many influencers and bloggers on social media rave about how amazing it was going to be, and after catching up on social media from home, I really got the feeling it was something amazing. Everyone who was posting from the day seemed so positive, having so much fun! Last year I wasn’t prepared, after realising how much of a journey it was from Somerset to Liverpool I gave it a miss. But this year? I’m well prepared. I’ve got my VIP ticket and I’m off!

This year with a change of location it sounds like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever! St George’s Hall, Liverpool. It will be filled with a huge market hall full of all your favourite, major and independent plus size brands, a beauty hub for a cheeky pamper and a spot of beauty shopping, a catwalk that is filled with on trend up coming fashion. And did I forget to mention? So many plus sized ladies all under one roof, including a few famous faces and truly inspirational women.

This year Debenhams are a part of the sponsorship team and have just a few really exciting plans happening over the day. Including launching their new lingerie collection, showing off their plus size range on the catwalk and having one of their designers talking on the How To Stage. Literally ladies, you all know how much I love a good set of undies so I’m far too excited for this part of the day! Have you checked out their plus size range? I’ve linked it below if you haven’t already seen, as I’d be lying if I didn’t say it, I had no idea about it until recently either!

So have you got your ticket yet? Unfortunately all VIP tickets have sold out! However standard tickets are available and are selling fast so what are you waiting for? Worried about going solo? Don’t be! I’ve booked my ticket and I’m going on my own, I’m going to meet up with some mega babes throughout the day but I get the feeling from what I’ve heard, there’s such a massive sense of community and so much to see and do, that you won’t fall short of good company.

The countdown? Not long ladies! Save the date 17/11/18. If you want to grab a ticket I’ll link you up to the site below. Have you been to The Curve Fashion Festival? Or is it your first time this year? Let me know in the comments! X
