I just got burned at Kiyonna, today, too. I previously ordered one dress that fit perfectly, so I went ahead and placed a bigger order with them. Big mistake! To say what I got was not true to size is an understatement! I couldn’t even get three items on and I checked their size charts carefully. In addition they absolutley will not give you a refund-it’s exchange only-even though two Item lost buttons when I was removing them from the package.

Hey Bella! Do not forget Deb’s Redress new york for some really cool vintage pieces- the only plus size vintage store! Re/dress is always great for the woman on a budget but who wants to make it twork!

Good Luck in your transition!

Hey everyone!
I noticed you guys were talking about where to get clothes at…. what about spas?? I found this girl a while back when she was working with another spa and now she opened up privately and i definitely think she’s worth checking out ! Best BRAZILIANS ever !!! and she’s awesome at deep cleansing facials…she also has great reccomendations for hairstylists and massage! So pamper yourself and then go shopping! hope this helps!

Hi Bella,

I have 2 weddings to go to this Spring and here is a link for the dress I am getting. Take a look at Nordstrom, they have fab dresses for under $200.00. someone else mentioned Ashley Stewart, you can’t go wrong there!! But do take a look at this dress.

Hi,
I say head to Brookyln!

For a cultural and or funky dress that I’m sure you would make the haters hate more, I would hit Brooklyn and get something from Moshood Afrikanspriit.com

for more traditional Monifc is good. As well as Lee Lee Valise. http://www.leeleesvalise.com

For Department Stores:
Macys on 34th Street
Lord and Taylor
Bloomingdales–My favorite.

Good luck

bella, don’t do too much for them now.. even if you have to just get the beautiful pendant, Afrobella’s confidence is enough to blow them away. i’m sure you’ll look stunning either way. flash them the smile that kills and keep it moving!

Bella NO!!! Whatever you do, DO NOT get that purple Monif C. dress. Did you see how saggy the model’s breast looked in that photo? With all the pinning and fixing they do for photo shoots, if that’s the best that dress could look, you need to run far far AWAY!

I know you said it’s not really in your budget but I would really suggest Monif C. I purchased two really pricey pieces on a trip to NY and always turn heads. But the best thing? Never have I seen anyone at an event have on anything that could compare to the pieces. Well worth the cost!
