Plus North Fashion Event - After Party

Following on from Plus North Fashion Event, Scarlett & Jo sponsored an After Party at the Renaissance Hotel. They had arranged a Disco, Karaoke, hot food, and an exclusive catwalk show. After the great day, we were really looking forward to the night.

As we were staying in the hotel, we went and got changed in our room, before coming down to the event.

When we got to the Suite where it was being held, there was a queue at the bar. We waited about half an hour to get served, then the Navigator in charge told us he was closing down the shutters and we need to go to the other side and get served. People were getting the lift down to the lobby and getting drinks in the bar there, and were still back before we got served! There were a few incidents of overcharging that I was aware of too.

The food run out quickly as we queued, and we had to wait about an hour for more.

Myself and my friend had a great time and met some lovely people, the girls at Topsy Curvy were mental and good laugh!

Again, every one looked beautiful in their outfits. 

It was a really good night, but I think the hotel really let them down.

Not the most flattering photo of me!

Plus North Fashion Event

On Saturday 7th September I went to Plus North, a plus size fashion event. It was advertised as a fun filled, fashion fuelled, celebration of all things Plus!
And it delivered!

Plus North was held at the Renaissance Hotel in Manchester this year. I won tickets to the event with Scarlett & Jo.
There were five separate catwalks shows, featuring Simply Be, Yours Clothing, Excite Clothing, Curvissa, and Evans. All the models are plus size and volunteers, and they all looked amazing. 






The main Plus North area was separated in to 2 zones, a clothing zone and a lifestyle zone.
The clothing zone consisted of:
The Lifestyle stalls were:
There were lots of bargains and discounts to be had!
I ended up buying three pairs of shoes! They were only £5 each. Bargain!


I also bought this lovely skirt from Topsy Curvy, no pics yet.
I bought a geeky necklace from Life's Big Canvas, and a really cute camera stamp.
I won a free clutch bag too, I think from Curvissa.



My super friend bought me a baby pink skull scarf from Topsy Curvy too.
She also bought herself a gorgeous purple skater dress, which she wore for the After Party..

It was a great event, I was impressed with all of it. Everybody was lovely and friendly.
Can't wait for Plus London now!

I'll leave you with the photo's of me and my friend from The Might Boof! photo booth...
