Women with curves - ilukgd!

Curves rule! And to celebrate the lush look, my friend Shan has pursued her dream and embarked on a new adventure which aims to help curvy, plus-size women feel great in fun clothes.

ilukgd (I Look Good) made its debut at That Bazaar over the weekend and soon, her collection will be available online too (www.ilukgd.com - website not up yet, will be up by some time next week).

ilukgd was such a hit at That Bazaar, Shan barely had time to savour the lovely pontian noodles kind Aileene bought for us!

ilukgd features mainly dresses and blouse-skirt outfits, suitable for office, weekends and cocktail events.

Shan designs the outfits and they're proudly made in Singapore.

Prices are a little over S$100. (sorry, i made a mistake about the prices before).

Through her new business, Shan strives to help women love, accept and respect their God-designed body in its plus-sized uniqueness and celebrate it with style and vibrant colours.

ilukgd adopts clean, simple lines, with interesting touches and splashes of colour that add life and fun to dressing.

Just to give you an idea about how ilukgd sizes work, I usually wear a US size 8 or UK size 12-14 top. I'm a Giordano L for their women's t-shirts.

In the ilukgd sizing, I'd be a Small. :) I like!

Update: Shan says I'm mad & that her Small may well be too big for me. HAH! We'll see.

Also, she says that she's thinking of including in the future petite sizes too, for curvy folk who are under-tall (actually we're normal height -- it's just everyone else who is too tall ... hahaha).


In the meantime, you can leave your comments for Shan here or drop me an e-mail which I'll forward to her.

Oh S, you are so CUTE!

BTW tell your friend she makes lovely, lovely pieces. I love that lavender shade ohsoverymuch!!! Love how she twirls the fabric, adds a really nice twist to simplicity, the way I like my clothes to be. I cannot wait to check her site out! :)

Oh you sweet Bling gal for mentioning me (and the compliments) even tho i didn't manage to find something loud enough for my stage use. So happy you see you so busy with your sweet lil kiosk, and your creations are really nice, must be so satifying.

You may need to think more about that loud colourful blings as there's probably more than 1 person needing it. Check out my blog's latest update and you will know what i mean...haha....she's hotter than me!

Hey Farah dear! I've passed on your compliment to Shan and she is thrilled :)) Will update this post soon on where her items are available and how to get in touch with her.

3a gurl dearie ... You are a Medium maybe in the M)Phosis size charts. You have such lovely broad shoulders and an athletic build. Gimme your abs!!!!!

Suzie Wong ... For you, it can't only be colourful, it has to be GARANG 'cos when you perform, you're HOT STUFF!!!! Will check out your blog soon. And please try to get some rest from all that work. Perhaps when SinLady returns we can meet up for coffee or something stiffer? Heh heh heh!

Chev darling ... I just spoke to Shan and she said the purple dress is one of her favourites :)) It is still available & I'll post more details right after this.

I saw Shan's creations at the fair yesterday and fell in love with them. Alas they would all be too large for me as I've just lost 12.5 kg and 5 dress sizes. I now wear a US size 6. Do you think she might tailor make something for me?
