I’m plus-size & did a huge Matalan haul for summer – they have the most flattering co-ord & day dresses for curvy girls
A PLUS-SIZE fashion fan has revealed her must-have summer essentials from Matalan – including a bargain co-ord and the perfect summer dress.
With the warmer weather finally here and holiday season about to commence, you’ve probably spent the last few weeks stocking up on summer essentials.
Olivia revealed the summer pieces she’d picked up ahead of her summer holiday – including this £10 bargain mini dressTiktok – @olivia_reardonxox
She also had high praise for this co-ord, priced at £17 for the trousers and £15 for the topTiktok – @olivia_reardonxox
But if you’ve still got a few gaps, Olivia has shared her favourite bargain buys from the high street store – including a dreamy co-ord that’ll be perfect for hot days or warm evenings out.
She said: “Okay, so I’ve got a little Matalan try-on haul for you guys.
“I went shopping today, so I’ll show you what I got.
“We go to Morocco next month with the family and if you know me, I love a little set.”
First up – the Et Vous Green Swirl Print Co-Ord Trousers, £17, and matching Et Vous Green Swirl Print Tie Co-Ord Shirt, costing £15.
She said: “Now I’m a size 20 to 22 in the bottoms. These are a size 20 and they’re not the stretchy material, but just look.
“These just fit absolutely perfectly. They’re beautiful.
“Now you did hear him hear me right, I did say a set. £15, for this top.
“It also has a matching bikini but the bikini bottoms are low-waisted and the tops they only had in a size 12.
“This top’s a 16. I usually opt for 18s in the tops, but even with just like this black bra underneath it.
“How nice is this set? I think it’s just absolutely gorgeous.”
The Matalan fan also grabbed a bargain mini dress, priced at just £10, however, sadly this pink wrap mini dress is currently only available to buy in-store.
Olivia commented: “Okay so next up we’ve got this dress.
“Saw her, was like, ‘love this, love this. love the pattern.’
“But did they have it in a 20? This is not stretchy.
“No, they didn’t, they only had a 16. I took my chances and got it. It’s £10.
“I think this is a winner. This is at 16, bare in mind I’ve not got a proper bra on… but this is actually just so beautiful.
“And for £10 pound, the quality is a 10/10.”
The fashion fan also picked up a couple of bits for the gym, including a pair of black leggings for £15.
Olivia continued: “I needed a new pair of gym leggings because my Gymshark ones are not living up to their price tag.”
“These were £15 and they’re in a size 18 because they didn’t have any bigger.”
She also grabbed the Souluxe Aqua Longline Sports T-Shirt, costing just £10, in a size XL.
Fans loved her savvy finds, with the haul gaining more than 670 likes and 7,900 views.
Known online as @olivia_reardonxox, the 19-year-old mum regularly shares life updates and budget-friendly fashion hauls with her 35,400 followers.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their thoughts, with one writing: “You rock the first outfit.”
“I have just ordered the dress!! So pretty. Thank you,” commented another.
A third added: “Matalan is so hit and miss at times.”
Olivia replied: “VERY hit and miss! They have some lovely things in at the moment!”
