I am not a huge dress fan.  With the bridal season fast approaching, what to wear for the bridal shower was my first problem.  I am petite and curvy so about 90% of dresses don’t fit me or are too boxy.   I lost almost 20 pounds since my hysterectomy and want something special for the out of town bridal shower in Little Rock, Arkansas. So, I turned to my favorite designer, Ralph Lauren, and the Lauren Ralph Lauren Collection for help.

I love this line because many of the pieces are made for curvy shapes.  Many of the fabrics have spandex and the tailoring is very flattering.  Here are some examples of my favorite pieces

End of summer at many department stores and great sales.  Here are just a few of my favorites.

The lovely ladies of Little Rock were kind and gracious hostesses.  It is hard going to a new place and meeting new people, they made me feel right at home. The southern hospitality was boundless.  I had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing them again at the wedding. Here are some pictures from the bridal shower.
