Just because we have curves doesn’t mean we have to go up the wall when it comes to shopping! Because, honestly, it is SO difficult to find clothes that really fit like a dream – either they don’t account for the fact that some of us have generously proportioned butts or for the fact that we might just be well-stacked in the bust area! And when we do find clothes that comfortably fit our curves? They tend to sag at the shoulders or be super-loose at the waist! Well, enough is enough. Just so we can spare you some extra aggravation on your next shopping trip, we bring you some amazing brands to keep an eye out for. Tried and tested, ladies – they won’t disappoint!
