This month’s giveaway is special in more ways than one. Making It Big is offering one lucky reader a $200 Gift Certificate for shopping at their website. That in itself is exciting but I’m also excited about the changes at Making It Big over the last year. They have always been a leader in offering plus size and extended size clothing but frankly I haven’t “loved” their clothing because I felt it lacked the shaping that plus size bodies deserve. They have made profound changes in their styles and I’m very proud of their progress and growth of their new line. If you have never heard of Making It Big (MIB):
“Founded in 1984, MiB designs plus size clothing for women who want to celebrate their curves in style. MiB offers quality made clothing in luxurious fabrics in sizes 22-48 (2x-8x). Offering everything from beautiful blouses to everyday pants, MiB prides themselves on being the leader in quality, fit & service in the plus size clothing world.”
Prize Details:
- 1 winner will get a $200 Gift Certificate to shop at Making It Big online.

I love the Banded Wrap Dress. I need a LBD, and this one is flattering to my figure type (I carry a lot of my weight through my midsection, and since this is high-waisted it would help hide that), plus the V-neck means I’d show off my awesome clevage! 😀

Terry Mac says
Making it Big is such a great site! Found so many things that I would love to own! Two that especially caught my eye are the Corsica top, because I love black and white (wear a lot of black to minimize size). This top with it’s V neckline and overall V shape really minimizes my size and would look so dressy and slimming on! Would love to have it added to my bland wardrobe! Then the Alessa top with it’s little bit of glitter at the neckline would be so versatile by being able to dress it up or down, and yet still look so stylish! I really need some updated items to look my best as my present wardrobe is quite sparce since I put on all this extra weight, and I can’t fit into my old skinnier clothes!
Thank you for this very generous giveaway to update a needing wardrobe!
