I have a fashion dilemma: I can either buy dresses in my size which squash my breasts, or buy a larger dress that makes me look like I am pregnant. I have always found it really annoying that a lot of women’s clothes are not designed for breasts. I mean, if they do not design them with our bodies in mind then why should we buy them? The clothes should be made to fit the body, not the body to fit the dress.
Made in Preston is the brand that specialises in fashion forward styles for women with slim waists and bigger boobs. Based in the industrial docklands of Preston, it is set to become the hottest new brand on the block.
Made in Preston is bursting with attitude. Gone are the frumpy A-line dresses, stretchy wrap-around styles and chintzy smocks that have filled the wardrobes of those blessed with ‘bustiness’! Made in Preston do not want you to wear uninspiring styles anymore! Women want sexy dresses, bold colours and fashionable fabrics, and it is essential that they fit to perfection. So girls, this is what Made in Preston is giving you. If you are a size 8 with a G cup bust then look no further, Made in Preston have a fashionable range of dresses from sizes 6-16 that accommodate cup sizes ranging from a 26DD-38J, meaning that tiny waists and big busts are no longer a shopper’s nightmare!
As the name suggests, everything is designed, sampled, graded, produced, and packaged in the brand’s factory in Preston. By shopping at Made in Preston, you are helping to resurrect a by-gone industry in the North West of England. Once thriving, it has dwindled to virtually nothing during the last few decades, but the brand are determined to bring British manufacturing back. Made in Preston aims to bring back skills, pride in local heritage and most importantly local jobs.

Who: The event will feature DJ sets from the best in UK dance music talent, and customisation from the most cutting edge young people in London’s fashion communities
Tickets: Free – Register at vInspired.com/gettrashed
London’s iconic Ministry of Sound will play host to the first ever Car Boot Disco on 24th November. The Sunday afternoon Ministry party combines music, fashion and swapping to encourage young people to update their wardrobe by exchanging and customising clothes instead of spending on fast fashion.
The event launches vInspired’s Get Trashed campaign to save over 10,000 clothes from landfill before the end of the year. It will create a tribe of young people dedicated to re-using, recycling and having fun – whilst looking good at the same time. Young people will feel part of a movement, putting the issue of waste front of mind – empowering them to run their own events and spread the message via the Do Something channels, social media and word-of-mouth.
This free party is aimed at young people in London who are bored with their wardrobes and want a fresh update, but without the cost. vInspired is inviting anyone with swap-able clothes to come along to the event and take home something that is new to them but unwanted by someone else.
Rising fashion designers will be on hand, hosting special areas of the super-club to provide unique professional customisation like studding, badging and ripping – ‘pimping’ up tired looking items. Fashion scouts will be attending the Ministry of Sound event, looking for potential models who can rock any outfit – old or new – making this the perfect chance to showcase individual style.
Spinning the perfect soundtrack to for a Sunday afternoon session will be some of the very best DJs from the UK’s dance music scene who will be hitting the decks for the duration of the event. Remixing music alongside the remixed fashion.
Tickets to the event are free; for more information please visit www.vinspired.com/gettrashed <http://www.vinspired.com/

Emilia Fox: beautiful and an acting blue blood. She has a glittering career, is from an acting dynasty and is also a mother. The 39-year-old has been looking incredibly on the red carpet recently.
Emilia Fox covers up on the red carpet in Luisa Beccaria coat. The actress is a huge fan of the label, having worn pieces from the Italian demi-couture designer several times this year alone, including red carpet events and appearances – including the BFI Gala Dinner and Crime Thriller Awards this month.
Emilia chose this ivory wool coat to attend the premiere of Dom Hemingway in London this week – keeping cosy even on the red carpet as she posed for photographers without removing her coat.
What do you think? Is Emilia a style icon?
