Posted: August 20, 2009 Filed under: Clothing, Item of the Week | Tags: dress, fashion, Plus size 24 CommentsWhizzing though Debenhams yesterday evening searching for something ASAP and this stopped me dead in my tracks. I mean really- I ground to a sudden halt and just stood there saying OMG to myself and looking like I’d just seen Elvis.
Rocha John Rocha @ Debenhams, £50 Sizes 8 -22
Fabu- freaking- tastic.
Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too 
Oh my goodness! That’s incredible.
I actually went and tried this on today! It was gorgeous, but alas I had nowhere to wear it, so couldn’t justify buying it. Sniff!
Had no idea RJR went up to a 22 though, so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out in the future! xx
Just ordered it freakin fabulous
🙂
Thanks for the heads up – I’ll do a review when it arrives
with photos I hope!
Well the dress finally arrived and it is fantastic!
I just can’t wait for the weather to get a bit cooler so I can wear it .
I’m 5’3″ size 20/22 with a bit of an issue with my stomach area and this dress makes me feel like a supermodel and it looks bloody good too.
I am intending to write to Mr Rocha to thank him for his fabulousness and beg him to make this in other colours.
You should send Mr Rocha a pic as well to illustrate how fabtastic it is. Let me know if you get a proper response and not just some automatic email.
Do they post to Australia?? That dress is fab!
I’ve just checked the website and they only offer UK delivery 😦
Only UK delivery? Sooooo unfair!
Woah that is a beautiful site to behold…
Now if only they would import it to the Sates in a US size 22! *fingers crossed* pls pls pls pls pls!
I LOVE this dress. If only they had it in the US!
The type of architectural detail in this is amazing!! It’s really unfortunate that we have such a hard time finding really interesting fashionable clothing in larger sizes.
Va va voom! Me superlikeeeee
oh noes… no delivery to australia… dammitt! will have to investigate some sort of mailing service methinks… that dress AND other stuff on the site ROCKS!
I have never, ever been so jealous to live in the UK in my life!
LOVE the origami pleats! ugh, i need to move to the UK. you guys gets all the good stuff!
Love it!
I had kinda forgotten about Debenham’s since they stopped the Gorgeous range, but during my last trip I discovered Rocha and was really surprised to see they go up to a 22.
I got the plaid dress and it’s awesome!

oo- I like!
Also picked up a fab dress from New Look at the weekend black pleated bodice shift dress for £18 – looks good on
I tried it but alas – it didn’t fit me. One size was too big, another too small. It’s a great dress though – very well cut, good quality and a flattering design.
Deena, did you see this dress also?

Gorgeous! Not great for the hefty of arm like me soI ended up buying the grey origami dress and wore it with some 6 inch beauties 🙂
Just bought this dress – in a size 18. Saw it when I was coming down the escalator and knew I had to have it! Thought I’d need a bigger one but it fits like a dream. I got admiration from the shop assistants when I went out to the mirror for the ‘monroe’ curves (ie big arse) – surely a good sign! Can’t wait to wear it…
