Holiday Look No.5: Carissa Rose

Holiday Look No.5: Carissa Rose

It's so freezing cold outside with tons of snow that I had no choice but to do a indoor shoot. I really wish these photos did the gorgeous pieces from Carissa Rose more justice. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was when Carissa contacted me and offered two items from her latest collection! You see, Carissa makes clothes for the busty, well-endowed woman. Her styles are meant to accentuate your curves by basing the sizes on your bust and waist. Dresses and blouses are indeed the hardest things for me to find. I usually have to go up a size due to my large bust and then everything else looks baggy, or in the other extreme, I go down a size and squeeze my bust into a minimizer bra and hope that I don't pop any seams! I was nervous about the different sizing, but the pieces fit like a dream- the dress hugs in all the right places and the blouse doesn't gape one bit!

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!
