Transition seasons suck; and make for the most interesting collections of clothing!
Hello friends and welcome back to the blog! I’ve been a bit pro-occupied over the last two weeks, since we welcomed our tiny little black kitten to our home! He came to us last Sunday after being with his rescue aunts for a few weeks. So me and The Fiancé® have spent most of our spare time getting the flat kitten-ready; and then just being obsessed with him. Literally obsessed! Cat-owner friends, do you ever stop being obsessed with your cat? But I digress; this is a fashion blog, is it not? Let’s talk about some late summer plus size Hell Bunny outfits!

Melonie Jumpsuit
Okay, hear me out here. Yes, it may be a little late for a sleeveless jumpsuit with melons on. BUT, we keep having random hot days that were better than most of the UK’s summer; so I’ll eke out the summer vibes for as long as I possibly can. I am honestly shocked at how this looks on me, honestly. As a person with a big belly, I’ve not worn trousers outside of pyjama bottoms for years now. They aren’t comfortable, they don’t look good. And then there’s this jumpsuit, which has just the right amount of room in the tum and hips to fit my 60″ hips without being tight, or giving me the dreaded moose knuckle. Big tum folks, you know how that is.
I took the 4XL/UK 22 in this jumpsuit — which is my usual Hell Bunny size, which is AWESOME. If you’re less hippy, I’d recommend sizing down. The Melonie Jumpsuit is now £29.99 in the sale, too! Sizes XS-6XL.
Barbed Wire Mini Dress
I’m still really loving some alternative style, and Hell Bunny is actually one of my go-tos for plus size alt style, too! There’s really a lack of brands doing plus size alternative clothing, sadly. But I do love how Hell Bunny have both my styles readily available up to a size UK26.
This barbed wire print is really striking, you almost don’t notice its barbed wire at first glance, which is cool. It’s the perfect mini length, above the knee, but not too short that your arse is exposed if you even lean slightly forward. I love the waist tie details so much! Again, took the 4XL/22 in this dress and it fits pretty on point.
Cherry Bon Bon Dress
Does anyone remember Kyary Pamyu Pamyu? She had a song called Cherry Bonbon, and that’s been in my head ever since I tried this dress on! It’s a lovely little throw-on shirt dress with a typical rockabilly vibe, with scallop and cherry detailing. This dress will be a great little workhorse outfit, since it’s made from that kind of suiting-style fabric that just looks good forever. My only gripe is that there isn’t any pockets on this one!
The Cherry Bon Bon Dress is now £29.99 in the sale! Available in sizes XS-6XL. I’m wearing the 4XL/UK22 and the sizing is pretty perfect. I’ve got a teeny bit of stretching at the full bust point on the buttons, but it’s no where near as noticeable in real life.
Petals 50’s Dress
Hell Bunny’s 50s Dress style is genuinely one of my favourite styles they’ve done. I have an old version in a rose print, and it’s just such a beautiful style. I love the neckline, which suits my body type incredibly — shoutout to my broad-shouldered brethren! It’s just a gorgeous style that suits me well, looks incredible on and feels very put together regardless of what you style with it. If there’s one style you ever going to buy from Hell Bunny, make it this one!
Sizes are pretty spot on, although I can still fit in my old 3XL/UK20 version, so smaller busts could probably size down for a nice tight fit.
Plus Size Hell Bunny
Do you buy from Hell Bunny’s plus sizes at all? Did you know they’d extended the majority of their sizing to a 6XL/UK26? Let me know in the comments!
