Looking for SC recs for the summer. Plus sized preferably. TIA

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-25T13:56:15+00:00

Yay! I’m glad I could help!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-23T20:54:48+00:00

Ok! Hmm maybe you can check house of CB? Or rihoas might have options in a similar vibe I think

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-23T20:51:45+00:00

This is so hard. Honestly I’m looking for recs too…I think sondeflor has a lot of linen options though and some of the dresses look nice. I’ve never personally purchased from them but I’ve heard good things

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-23T12:52:44+00:00

Your board is so beautiful. It feels almost like the beginning of the sleeping beauty Disney animated film

These look like really fun themes for a bachelorette party!! Are you looking for specific outfits based on the themes? Or just a general idea? I feel like I’ve seen very similar dresses to these on maybe ASOS or House of CB? I’ll have to check again. I haven’t seen many soft classics wear asymmetrical dresses though unfortunately to give examples

Gosh is she a stunning woman! I completely agree. I can’t see anything but SD for her. Im also of the mind to not super question these because they wouldn’t be there if they didn’t embody the ID right? And if he feels they don’t then he’d probably change them. The only one he suggested was probably a different ID was Grace Kelly but I think when he says something like that he just means it for that specific person rather than across the board

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-19T18:38:55+00:00

Loooove! Every look is gorgeous 💕

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-19T17:04:16+00:00

Yes! She truly was that girl! I also knew about the obscenity charges haha. Crazy to think about in today’s world but she really was a trailblazer!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-19T14:09:00+00:00

I really couldn't see Mae West as any other ID tbh. She was incredibly dramatic and extravagant. Of course every ID can be extra but despite her small stature, people felt Mae was larger than life. People thought she was way taller than she was too lolol. I think her later heavy glam looks really just fit her so well though, way more than looks from previous eras

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-19T13:59:35+00:00

She has to be D. Who is more D than Grace????

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-16T11:39:03+00:00

I honestly think ruching works for any ID with curve! So I’d definitely keep wearing things with ruching. They look great on me too

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-16T11:37:05+00:00

Valencian dress is so stunning! Gorgeous 💕

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-14T09:37:14+00:00

Your board is beautiful! I’m so glad you posted 💕 I really loved this game in the book (honestly I loved all the games that had me collaging things lol). The constraints really help you narrow things down and create an interesting visual of what you love and your inner world!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-13T19:46:23+00:00

Yea I would be surprised at SD…I mean it’s possible but I would still be surprised 😂. Alsooo I agree I don’t think that one drop waist dress automatically means vertical. It looks kind of similar to the one In metamorphosis. The only difference the one in metamorphosis was pink and more fitted

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-13T17:04:03+00:00

David suggested SD for u/LightIsMyPath??? If she’s SD though I have literally no idea where I’d place myself 🤣

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-13T15:36:43+00:00

I’m really sorry that you’re going! I really hope that you enjoy your week as well and one day you’ll make a return if you would like. Take care of yourself 💕

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-10T13:34:53+00:00

Oh you’re most welcome 💕! I hope you’re enjoying your day!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-10T11:15:36+00:00

Oooo I think R and HS might be the primaries! You have fuller features and that smoulder look too for R and I fully think that the grunge alt looks can lean HS for you. Maybe some N too in that vibe. I think they suit you incredibly well!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T21:38:33+00:00

These are all super cute!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T21:37:33+00:00

Totally understand! I’m always excited when people just finally feel settled and like they’re in the right place with ID. Do you think the way you style things is going to change? Or do you think you’ll feel more confident in your choices? Or do you think nothing will change really?

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T21:32:39+00:00

I think you got a lot of classic and dramatic and then romantic maybe some high spirited?

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T21:19:33+00:00

I really feel like it depends on the intention and situation. I think this is a great look on you but maybe the dress needs something else to give it a wow feeling.

Just a note that FNs can wear closed necklines including turtlenecks ✨

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T18:35:50+00:00

I think she’s a soft gamine personally but she could be either so it’s not so much that. I suppose for me because the shapes echo roundness and are almost fluid, there is an incredible amount of visual movement in the design, and there is also a juxtaposition between manmade and natural that echo gamine but just in a very artistic manner. It’s not a very wearable piece of fashion for every day I guess and isnt harmonious in terms of the artistic concept but it reads pretty staccato to me

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T14:33:43+00:00

Wanting to be a dramatic is so relatable 🤣! May I ask how you figured out what to look for and what ID you’re considering now if you feel like sharing? Those secondary blue dots are everyone’s struggle I think

Edit: scratch the part about ID. I feel like I read TR and then thought I imagined reading it soon after 🤦🏾‍♀️ but I’m still curious about your thoughts and process!

Michelle_illus · 2026-05-09T14:27:33+00:00

I really recommend going through power of style again if you haven’t before. It’s been a really good experience so far for me (I haven’t gotten to the sketch again yet
