Shavonne Dorsey got NEXT!!

The Curvy Revolution is here and Shavonne Dorsey Designs introduced her imaginative vision of it at Chicago Fashion Connect’s November mixer. We only came to get juicy Stiletto Gossip but found ourselves pretty impressed with this down-to-earth designer and her custom pieces for sizes 12-24 .

Shavonne Says:

The biggest misconception of full-figured women is the idea that black makes them look slimmer. In reality, understanding your body is important and dressing appropriately makes you look slimmer.

Shavonne appreciates the luxury of making a connection with her clients. She raved about the convenience and connections that social networking has created for her work to be seen and appreciated. “I want to know what my clientele needs are and how they feel about what they wear.”

Shavonne can be spotted all over Chicago indulging fashionistas in Trunk Shows (next one December 3rd), In-Home Fashion Parties and soon via Online shopping. Visit her online for event details and appointments.

As for the Stilettos…

Model TaJ’ae Robinson found these comfortable yet sky-high nude crushed suede and python embossed platform stilettos for only $25 in a last minute scurry for the event.

Model Perry Ellis Fish raved about how she found her comfortable stilettos at Kohl’s on a clearance for only $21! We thought the shoes were cute but the tattoo added a dose of spice to these babies.

Model Nikeya Young’s nude platform stilettos were a Payless BOGO steal for only $29.99. Though she says they could use a bit more cushion in the insole she comfortably worked the room in her floral Dorsey Design.

Gossiping About …

Gossiping About: Marissa W.

Gossip Worthy: Yes.

Gossiper Spotted:Deena & Ozzy Treaded Wedge Boot by Urban Outfitters

Pssst…Rumor Has It: Ms. Marissa was consumed with the Social Media Conference 2011 her organization, Columbia College Chicago P.R.S.S.A, held recently but the understated cognac colored tie-up Booties she sported were screaming, “I KNOW YOU SEE ME”…and we did! Word is she “found” the Deena & Ozzy Boots at an unbelievable price of $19.99!! 0_o However, our Shoe Snob on a Budget couldn’t find that bargain anywhere. What we did find were a few alternatives in case you wanted to pinch a little from Marissa’s comfort chic style.
