New Year’s Fashion and Thick Thighs

December 29, 2015 by Alison 5 Comments


Christmas is over and while I love the season, I’m always glad when it’s over and I can get back to my “normal” routines and well, get my house back in order. Of course quickly approaching now is New Year’s which is always a time to celebrate. (Like I need an excuse to celebrate right!)

New Years Fashon

 

Since we’re celebrating we might as well dress up a little too and that’s where I usually get frustrated. This year I’m going to try and make sure I have a great outfit to ring in the new year planned in advance starting with the dress. I don’t wear dresses very much so when I do it has to be flattering and it has to be comfortable.

 

Right now I’m trying to decide between this:

Eliza J Women’s 3/4 Sleeve Shift with Sequin Fringe at Hem Black Dress 4

and this kensie Women’s Crepe Chiffon Dress  .

The problem I always have with dresses though it chafing. It’s no secret that I’m technically a “plus size” gal, and I have large thighs. I always have. At one time it was becuase they were muscular from sports, now the sports are no longer, but the thighs stayed.

In the past I have worn shorts under my dresses to solve the problem, but that meant that I always had to have relatively long and loose styles. Finally though, someone has come up with a solution to that problem and the solution is called Bandelettes.

Bandelettes

These are awesome little lace bands, like a garter but wider that protect those areas prone to chafing. Something so easy and so simple yet they solve a big problem for a lot of ladies. They have definitely made a big difference for me. I used to be pretty much a pants only gal and I’ve actually worn dresses a lot more since I discovered them so Bandelettes are definitely a welcome addition to my accessory drawer.

What’s your biggest wardrobe gripe? Would Bandelettes solve any of your chafing issues and help you be more comfortable?

    That is such a great product. I love that it has the rubbery material inside to keep them up.

    Chafing has always been a problem for me. I had never heard of these before and am definitely going to look into trying them out! By the way–I like the black dress with the fringe the best!

      Thx! I was leaning toward that one too! I think I’m still going to buy it for some event because it’s soo cute, but I ended up being really sick last week and missed New Year’s and basically the whole week entirely…I’m totally planning a re-do lol

    That’s an interesting product. I usually wear long briefs but they’re definitely not as pretty or sexy as the bandelettes.

      Right? That’s me too! These definitely make you feel a little “sexier” than my fave bike shorts underneath lol
