Yep, I've said it.
And I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm not the only one who's getting a bit pissy with the good old English weather.
For anyone who's above a size ten, summer can be a right...well, bitch. When you can't squeeze your size 12 arse in to a pair of short shorts, or you have trouble cramming your boobs in to a teeny-tiny crop top, your summer shopping trips can become the thing of nightmares. Gone are the dreams of strutting down the beach in a high waisted bikini (note to the public: unless you're Beyonce, high waisted bikini bottoms are a challenge, to say the least) or dancing the night away in a cute little co-ord. Instead you find yourself stuck in the bleak realms of maxi dresses and shapeless shifts, not exactly the California beach babe summer look that you were originally going for.
But do not despair, help is on hand in the form of the fit and flare dress. An absolute summer saviour for us curvy girls. And don't just take my word for it, some of our favourite fashionable celebs have been spotted in this flattering fit.
These little wonder dresses are the perfect shape for hiding the two main problem areas: tummy and thighs. The lining down the centre of the dresses creates an amazing silhouette, skimming perfectly over any muffin top and giving your boobs a perky (yet contained!) shape.
The length falls flatteringly just around the knee, allowing you to flash a bit of flesh without having to worry about thigh dimples or the dreaded cellulite.
The block colour also works to slim you down and means that you can add a huge statement necklace if you're looking for a more glam look.
But for those of us mere mortals who don't have the budget of VB, the high street has got some perfect copies. Head to New Look and snap up their coral and black versions at just £20.00 a pop!

And Voila, your summer outfit crisis is sorted. Stock up in a few colours like me and you've got one for every occasion, meaning you can stop stressing about what to wear and enjoy these last few weeks of sun (ok, maybe I'm being a tad ambitious with sun...) Enjoy these last few weeks of weird stormy cloudy occasionally sunny windy weather!
