In this blog post, I’m talking about the Universal Standard GOOP collection. Universal Standard is on a partnering spree. The latest is US collaboration is with Goop brand. Theses pieces are something very new from Universal Standard.
.
.
The Goop x Universal Standard collaboration is saying they created a clean-lined, sophisticated capsule of five classic pieces that feel like they were made just for you—because they were.
.
Goop x Universal Standard’s love letter to Le Smoking jacket. The sexy satin lapels read elegant. The razor-sharp tailoring is all business. And the dual-button closure pulls the whole sultry aesthetic together. As for the fit? Each piece was tailored to someone of your same size, so there’s no guesswork when it comes to sizing. Pro tip: Scrunch up the sleeves and match it with the cropped trouser to approximate an evening suit. The cropped trouser factor in a fuss-free wool blend (with a hint of stretch), polished front pleats.
WOOL TUXO JACKET | CROPPED TROUSERS
.
Goop x Universal Standard’s offers high-low hemline, the elegant jewel-neck bodice, and the chic quarter-length sleeves, this universally flattering dress is a modern riff on Hepburn-esque elegance. Available in two colors.
BRUSHED-BACK HI-LOW DRESS – Aubergine | BRUSHED-BACK HI-LOW DRESS – Black
Goop x Universal Standard’s jumpsuit is up for anything. Throw on bright kicks (work), classic pumps (special occasions), or nada (kitchen dance party). This piece—made from a brushed matte material that breathes like cotton, drapes beautifully, has hidden stretch, and feels like silk against skin—takes the closet staple to the next level. .
Goop x Universal Standard offers an artful, Asian-inspired twist on a classic, this double-breasted wool peacoat—crafted with a hint of stretch—can be buttoned all the way up (secure the teeny flap detail along the standing collar) or worn with the lapels left elegantly loose to the sides. It makes a super polished case for layering no matter what’s underneath.

Within this blog post, I’ll be sharing my experience at the TCF Style Expo. You’ll see what happened from fashions, panels, networking and of course the parties!
Are you looking for the tea on the plus size event The Curvy Fashionista Style Expo? Looking for plus size fashions from TCF Style Expo? Are you looking for information on the plus size focused panels? Here you’ll find! If you want to know why I attend keep reading!!
The category is plus size fashion, lol! (A Pose reference) The TCF Style Expo definitely had the fashions on display.
Here are my 5 favorite looks from the TCF Style Expo. Everyone looked amazing but these happen to be my favorite. However, for me, these people came with their A game!
Marie Dee, The Curvy Fashionista, herself wearing Barkwood.
Shamika of froplusfashion wearing Eloquii.
Chasi of Sweat N Mascara wearing Christian Omeshun.
Tiffany of Beautiffully me wearing Curvi Milieux.
Ivory of Ivory Jinelle wearing Ofuure (top), Rainbow (shorts) and Zara (shoes).
Clearly, they came to slay!
The fashions were not the reason I attend the Style Expo. The panels are very important. There were 3 panels that stood out to me.
I really enjoyed the “Plus Size Fitness” panel. They talked about plus size fitness and weight loss. The ladies shared their thoughts on if plus size fitness fit in the plus industry. They tackled a very heavy hitting topic in the plus size community.
The cosplay panel was so much fun! They started their thoughts on attending cosplay events as plus size women. The group spoke on how to dip your toes into cosplay with closet friendly looks. They also spoke about how the plus size cosplay community is growing and growing fast.
The panel on how to get involved in the curvy community. This panel’s discussion got a little heated and I loved it! The group spoke on breaking into the plus industry. They also shared how you can help others working in and with the plus community.
It was great seeing bloggers I know and respect sitting on panels at the TCF Style Expo.
I attended the TCF Style Expo as a guest of thecurvyfashionista and blogger coordinator Pepper of Pretty Plus Pep, however; All opinions are my own.

Work Smart. Reach High. Have Fun is their motto. That love for life and living well aligns with thefatgirloffashion. And because of this, I’m excited to be apart of the campaign to present Talbots’ new plus size collection. For Talbots’ it’s all about the tailoring. They have created styles to specifically compliment all the nuances and silhouettes of the plus-size shape. Within their new plus size collection, they have carved out a line just for petites.
Petite refers to stature not weight.
.
n fashion and clothing, a petite size is a standard clothing size designed to fit women of shorter height, typically 160 cm (5 ft 3 in). Most people still think petite means skinny when in fact petite has nothing to do with weight. Petite women come in all shapes and sizes, whether they’re a size 4 or 24. Most petite clothing is designed with shorter sleeves. Rise: Many petite pants and jeans will have a slightly shorter rise than regular sizes. Waist: To accommodate a frame that is often more compact, petite dress waistlines are often a little higher than those of regular sized dresses.
The biggest trap that women who fall into the plus status are the limited availability of those pieces that are petite. While regular sized plus clothing are often too long forcing us petites to get our clothes hemmed. This makes our clothes overall more expensive. Talbots thought not only plus size women with their new collection but the petites too.
This is Talbots’ front pleat tunic a variation of three-quarter sleeves. Their modern take on a classic silhouette. Its pleated V-neck front popover silhouette lends a tailored touch and the long tunic length accentuates leaner, cleaner lines. In my personalized box, this magenta tunic was paired with these fabulous black slim-ankle denim jeans. Talbots say’s they are their most universally flattering fit is narrow from knee to hem. Designed with stretch, the classic slim ankle jean naturally moves with you, offering additional comfort to an already-easy style. Talbots feels it’s the flattering fit we love. For the curvy fit, these mid-rise jeans with a fly front with button closure flatters any figure from waist to thigh.

Please note: Talbots’ standard plus sizes are carried up to 4x/26W.
.
My thoughts on the Talbots’ petite plus: This year is bringing the plus community many more options than ever before. I recently tried two pieces from the Talbot plus collection. Of course, we all know all bodies aren’t the same. All plus bodies are not the same. Talbot’s petite line is a welcome addition to my wardrobe. The denim jeans I tried are excellently made. The coloring in them (curvy petite slim ankle jean in black) are very lux. The black in the jean is here to stay. The jeans feel great against the skin. They are soft yet firm by no means will they’ll fade or fall apart after a few washes. I also appreciate the firm waistband. A weak waistband is the worst! What good are jeans you have to keep pulling up? These jeans can be worn with or without a belt and you won’t have a problem. These jeans are made well and packaged for petite plus sized bodies like mine.

I received the clothing items featured in this blog posts compliments of the Talbots, however; All opinions are my own.
