Body Shape Calculator: Curvissa vs IGIGI, which one works better?
I love online calculators….there is one so many different ones from ideal weight and working out measurements to (as I used today) checking the clarity of water! But one of the most useful for fashionistas who like to shop online is the body shape calculator. It can be so difficult to work out body shape and the best styles to suit, not such a problem if you are shopping in store as you can try clothes on, but essential if you are shopping online where there are no fitting rooms! Both IGIGI [site: www.igigi.com] and Curvissa [site: www.curvissa.co.uk] have a body shape calculator on their site….but which is best? I have used the measurements of plus size model Tara Lynn to test both calculators. [Read more...]

However we all know the stress of trying to find wide calf snow boots – so we’ve put together a list of our favourites from the people at Curvissa.
