I've been distracting myself from the dumpster fire that is our world right now, by ordering and then returning clothes. Everything feels so uncertain at the moment and so I'm trying not to keep anything that I don't REALLY like. No need to waste money, but a few treats now and again are keeping me sane during lockdown!
I got a size twenty fuckin' eight in this dress because I've tried Wednesday'd girl before, and knew they were too small on the bust..... It is ridiculous that this size doesn't cover my boobs. I'm officially giving up on this brand.
I was hoping that this was a classic case of asos using a thin woman to model plus size clothing and that I could wear it more fitted. Sadly not! Defo designed to look like you're playing dress up in your big sisters 80s prom dress! It's not possible to wrap it any tighter sadly and the body is cut on the bias so no chance of a waist.
It's proper taffeta, as advertised. Not for me but i'm sure someone more cutsie than me could pull it off!
My problems with this dress are as follows; it has more static than a ballon that's been rubbed on your head for 3 minutes. Also, the shape doesn't match the print.
I honestly quite liked the design of the dress and the fit, but the overall look just didn't feel right! If this was floral or black, I would have kept it, despite the static!
You should buy this. Get your normal size or smaller. Generous so no need to size up ;)
I kept this one as I think it will be good for work in colder weather, with leggings or tights. The size 26 is a good size, fits nicely on my big ol' arms!
It fits nicely and covers my cleavage, but still looks quite smart and unusual. Plus.... RED satin. Yes please, thank you!
I kept this (in a size 26) purely for a nice lock-down date-night outfit. love satin and love the colour and embroidery. It's not one for those who don't like their belly to be visible as you can see. I just like lounging around in satin.
Date night ;). Downsides = static. central seam at the front of the skirt ripped on first wear!
This is an odd one because I don't like the top if it' worn as you're supposed to wear it (tied at the back!), but I like it tied in the front. Or at least I think it's quite cute. What I adore about it is the stunning colour! Deep rich blue with a purple tone. So beautiful! Had to keep it just for the colour! I got the 24 and it's great.
The shoulders on this are stupidly wide. it's a real shame because the rest of the dress is quite lovely! This is the 26 but I sent it back because the shoulders span ruins it :(
Size 26. Preposterous dress! Lovely soft and thin fabric which would be perfect for summer (plus it has pockets and spaghetti straps), but it has a non stretch, thick synthetic fabric lining the whole thing and it's horrid! You can see that it's also stupidly tight on my bust for a size 26.
I can't even tell you how horrid this lining is! Is it taffeta?! Yuck!
