See me in the M&S body shapes advice hub!

A couple of weeks ago I was invited down to M&S HQ to take part in some filming for their new body shape advice hub. Five bloggers were invited to discuss their specific body shapes and the dress styles that work best them, with the aim of giving some advice to other women out there looking for dresses this Summer.

I don’t have all that much love for the body shape system.

I’m a big believer that if you love something, you should try it on, even if rules dictate it’s not going to suit you.

But despite that, I know people like to be given guidance, and I do believe there are some simple bits of advice around body shape that can help people who struggle to shop…

About Me

I'm Gemma, I'm 29, and I'm a writer. Cosmo once called me a 'kick ass woman who's changing the world'. If reviewing mascara and wearing dresses changes the world, then I'd have to agree. Click here for more about me.

Wait, what happened to Big Girls Browse?
