I was looking around for some plus size clothing to take on my winter vacation to Florida. I got a week off and hubby wanted to go to Tampa. I like going to the beach but I feel sort of uncomfortable with my body exposed in a one-piece bathing suit. I am not a sun lover but adore getting into the ocean than a pool. Hubby is pretty cool about my size. He likes to see me in color but most of the time I wear black. I tend to accessorize myself in color (shoes, jewelry and belts). I have had this plus size beach dress forever and cannot find anything to replace it. So I decided to buy some fabric and take it to my tailor. What a good idea! I love my new beach cover-up! I know that I will feel confident on my trip and really enjoy feeling special. Wow thinking big works! Oh by the way the fabric was a soft pastel blue (it matches my eyes!).
