I don’t know about you but I just love Nigella Lawson. She has such a gorgeous curvy figure and always looks so happy and healthy. And hey, I love a woman who loves her food! (Girl after my own heart.)

It seems, like fashionable first lady Michelle Obama, Nigella’s also well aware of the joys of a really good plus size red dress.Doesn’t she look fabulous?

Gorgeous as she looks, I was probably more interested to read about her failsafe formula for every day dressing to work those stunning plus size curves. It certainly really works for her and it’s a look that’s really easy to achieve.

First things first – good underwear! Nigella swears by a bit of shapewear, especially good old ‘magic knickers’. Try these plus size pants from Gok Wan’s shapewear range at Marisota – available in size 8-32.

Then Nigella goes for a full black skirt – black is great for your bottom half if you want to minimise it. This plus size black skirt from Marisota should do the trick:

Then she goes for a sexy scoop neck top to show off her best bits. Go for a red plus size top for maximum sex appeal (you can match it with your lippy!)

To get the true Nigella hourglass shape, tuck your top in to your skirt to keep your waist line clean, then nip in that waist further with a wide belt, like this plus size belt from Marisota:

If you want a little more help achieving that cinched-in look then the Gok Wan wonder waspie really will work wonders!

Then Nigella adds a cute cropped denim jacket like this one (keeping that nipped in waist on show).

So there you have it, every day plus size fashion made simple!
