The best LBD I've ever owned!.

"Had looked everywhere for a gala dress and ended up finding you one week before the event. Took my chances and ordered it...I have never had a dress fit me so well. It was meant to be! I got the reaction I wanted from someone at the gala! Thank you so much - keep making these fabulous dresses!"

Perfect Little Black Dress.

"WOW!!!! I Love this dress. I originally ordered an 18/20; however, my hip measurements were in between the 18/20 and the 22/24. I received the 18/20, the top fit perfectly as I have a high waist; but the bottom was just a little too tight (unfortunately, I am one of those ladies whose bottom is much larger than their top) so I returned it for the 22/24 and it looks great, a little big at the top, but I have already taken it for alterations and now it’s the Perfect Little Black Dress! I am 5’9 and the length is perfect and it flows well. I plan to wear this dress on a cruise in January for the Captain’s dinner. I will definitely be the Belle of the Ball. Thanks IGIG for knowing what a voluptuous lady wants; you have a customer for life!"

The PERFECT LBD!.

"I honestly cannot believe the way this dress made my body look. Random strangers at a Christmas party stopped me and commented on how beautiful I looked. This dress is honestly the ultimate LBD. "

"This dress looks great on me. The empire waist is very flattering. Now I need someplace to wear the dress. It is too sexy for me to wear to work."

Well Worth the Wait!!!!.

"Just received my Francesca dress and I agree with every other review. I tried to order this dress a couple of times previously and it was always sold out in my size. This is the perfect LBD for a gal with curves. It arrived in only a few days and I can't wait to wear it for my staff Christmas party. I would normally wear size 14/16 but I ordered the size 12 and it hugs my body in all the right places. This is the second dress I have ordered from Igigi and I know it won't be the last."

Magnificent .

"I just purchased the Francesca Dress in Black and it arrived today - about a 4 day turn around with no special delivery method. I have been watching this dress for over 5 months. I watch it and it sell out and then they re-stock it and it sells out again. So finally I decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and purchase the dress. My only hesitation was I have not had any success with purchasing dresses on-line in the past. I had my measurements in hand and I checked out the size chart and I was really skeptical because I normally wear a size 18/20, but my measurement on the size chart says for me to order a 14/16. Mind you almost all of my 18/20 dresses has to go straight to the alteration lady before I could wear them. So that was another hesitation – do I order the size the chart says or do I order at least a size larger just to be sure. So after 5 months of debating I finally did it – I ordered the dress. I don’t like returning items so this was a major deal for me – I order the size IGIGI size chart said I should order - the size 14/16. When the box arrived I could hardly believe it was here and I could hardly wait to try the dress on. I took the dress out the box and at first glance the dress was not that impressive to look at. But I kept thinking positive saying - you have made the right decision in buying the dress and buying the size 14/16. So I tried the dress on and BABY WOW. This dress is as Gorgeous on me as it is on the on-line model. I am a BELIEVER and I am glad I am not the one to give the Francesca Dress in Black its first bad review. I kept saying to myself over 110 reviewers cannot be wrong, so go for it and I’m glad I did. My husband and I will be celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary on 11/30/11 and I will be wearing my new Francesca Black Dress out to dinner. This worked out so great I am searching for my next IGIGI purchase, I have a couple of things on my list, just trying to decide which one is next. As stated in many other reviewes this is the perfect LBD. "

Great dress!.

"We bought this for the shop i work in, and people seem to love it! I personally find it too short, and the waistline to be too high, but it has looked great on most customers. "

So feminine!.

"A very feminine dress. I purchased the Francesca along with the Larra and Rosalyn dresses (all in size 14/16) and the Francesca seems a tighter fit in the bustline than the other two. To the Australian reviewer who deducted a star based on price, you KNOW you'd pay two to three times as much for a dress of this quality here in Australia IF you could even find something this attractive in plus sizes. I am spreading the word here in Queensland that IGIGI online is the place to shop, especially with the currently very strong Australian dollar. "

Just the little black dress I was hoping for!.

"This dress is very elegent and beautiful in its simplicity. The fit is nice, yet I prefer more cinching at the waist. I paired this dress with a wide elastic belt for a more flattering bust and waistline. It worked great. I love how the dress can be worn off the shoulder for a sexier look also. You can accessorize your heart away because the dress does not need a lot to grab attention. This look is timeless, classic, and perfect for an event requiring the perfect little black dress. Of course I will tell you how it fit. I am between sizes 14 and 16, depending on where I shop. I ordered the 1X and it fit great :-)"

Amazing! .

"This is the perfect LBD! I haven't worn a dress in soooo long but have a major wedding and was panicked. As a plus size, it's hard to find something flattering, comfortable, travel friendly and chic. This dress is it! The lining cleverly hides lumps and bumps. I'm 5'11" so am adding a few inches of black silk voile to the hem even though it covers my knees as it is, I'll feel prettier with a few more inches. I contacted igigi and they were kind enough to tell me that it'd be best to add the voile to the lining and not the outer dress layer. I will add a bit of the voile to the sleeves so it ties in with the hem. Maybe a bit to the neckline, not sure about that yet. I plan to own this dress for a long time and dance in it whenever I can! Thank you, igigi!!"

IGIGI specializes in sexy and sophisticated plus size clothing, with an emphasis on plus size formal wear, plus size wedding gowns and plus size dresses and plus size separates. We believe that words like "ample," "opulent," "curvaceous," and "voluptuous" should be mainstays in the fashion dictionary. It is important to accentuate and celebrate the beauty and sensuality of the female figure rather than cover it up with piles of fabric.
