FATshionable Voodoo!

September 20, 2012 by · 22 Comments

I was recently sent some Voodoo stockings to try out. In all honesty, I didn’t even know Voodoo catered to plus sizes, so I was pretty excited when 3 different pairs landed on my doorstep. I wear stockings a lot as I tend to be more of a dress/skirt girl, but I’ve always just picked them up from local supermarkets.

I am now in LOVE with this pair, my favourite out of what I was sent. Hello, SPOTS! These are the Voodoo Voluptuous Fashion Tight, in ‘geo orbit‘. This is size ‘Plus’. The size guide says it fits brief size of 18-20, and I’d think that’s pretty spot on. They are mighty stretchy & fit me comfortably, I think they’d also fit someone a bit bigger then myself too.

The stocking itself is a little sheerer then I normally go for, as I have nails, a dog  a cat, but they haven’t pulled or torn the twice I’ve worn them. The pattern goes up high up the thigh, which then turns into a darker sheer. I loved how high the waistband goes, it actually stretches right up to under my bra & I had no problems with it rolling down.

I was also sent the Voluptuous Tribal Cutout legging, again in a size plus. These were a lot thicker, I guess seeing as they are labeled ‘legging’ and not tights. They are however a lot tighter. Again, the pack says size 18-20, but they have no where near the amount of give the above pair do. I had to jump around a little to get into them properly, but once on they were comfortable.

They don’t sit up as high as the tights, but they do ‘hold you in’ better. I would my sizing would be the maximum fit for them. I couldn’t really get a good picture of the pattern, the website has a lot better representation of them HERE.

I was also sent a pair that I can’t seem to find on the site, but I thought was a pretty neat idea. They are sheer & toeless, so perfect if you plan to wear open toed shoes! However, I don’t wear sheer tights, and all my toeless shoes are packed. The sizing for this pair goes up to a 22-24. Voodoos ‘Core’ Fuller Figure range go up to the size 2 (22-24) and come in a range of styles and colours. The Voluptuous range in one size of ‘Plus’.

 These items were sent to me for editorial consideration. (disclosure)

    A lot of hosiery brands do plus sizes now, I’ve noticed. But you need to seek them out at places like Myer or David Jones (preferred).

    Aww, thank you! :D

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    They are really comfortable too! Hope you get some!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Thank you! I was surprised at how well they’ve stood up, they feel quite thin but they’ve not torn, so I’m pretty impressed!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Hope you find them, they are super!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    I know right, it must have been a woman who figured out we need them, cause the idea is genius!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Aw, thank you! I tried the dress on originally and couldn’t afford it, but ended up going back a week later and laybying it :P

    Thank you! I’ve never had voodoo before, because as I said, I didn’t know they branched out to plus sizes, but I’m pretty impressed!

    I never really took the time to look at the fancier brands, but I shall have a better look next time I venture into a Myer of DJ!

    Love the dress!!!

    I had no idea voodoo did plus size. And I just looked on their website, and they sell them in Burwood’s David Jones! :D I have been going through a pair of sheer razzamatazz pantyhose each day at work. It gets quite expensive, but those are the only ones I’ve found that fit right on a 20/22 (they have two seams at the front, it is great! ‘curvaceous bare tints’ if anyone wants to try them. So fitted). However, I wear my pantyhose hard (I’m a busy klutz with nails) they ladder really easily on me, so I will be checking out voodoo. Thanks Nat!

    To be honest, and wee bit negative, I think the dot ones look like you’ve spilt something on your leg. The dress is fab though. And I’d be tempted by the leggings. I have issues with leggings – if they are big enough in the belly, they are floppy in the ankles. Those ones look a better fit though.

    From memory they have the Voodoo tights in the plus size section at Myer (maybe as well as hosiery or instead).

    I love your dress and your new hair cut is super cute and suits you :)

    I actually love the stockings with the spots on it, something unusual from the normal lace looking ones that are around all the time, i love patterns on stockings :)

    I’m a big fan of tights, too. I have quite a collection of different colors & patterns going. Gee, the ones they sent you look awesome. They really add a lot of interest to your LBD without being overwhelming. What a win! I love the geometric leggings (umm… I’m also a huge fan of leggings! lol)
    I will definitely check out this brand next time I’m looking for some new leg wear. :)

    I like your review, because you are very honest AND you don’t speak in there words (the manufacturer), but your very own!

    I bought the spotty ones on Friday and they tore a big hole JUST before a big night out for me, wasn’t very happy about that! I haven’t had ANY luck with Voodoo Pantyhose, but I will still go and spend $23 on them because they AREN’T BORING…! Just wish I got more than one wear out of them…. LOVE how you’ve styled them!! <3 <3
