    Curvissa – beautiful dressing for those curves

    Curvissa is an Aladdin’s cave of a website full of the most exquisite of dresses for those of us blessed with curves.

The  new Pearl Lowe collections have moved slightly away from her beloved 1940s, and are now embracing a glamorous Hollywood 1930s vibe. Champagne silk and lace, and black oriental style florals simply evoke the time of Kay Francis and Miriam Hopkins, whilst maintaining the amazing Peacocks  price points. There were also fabulous 50s silhouette dresses that used the luxe fabrics of velour and lace,…
