Hummmm..... not much to shout about here.
Chinos? More like moleskin, and therefore don't sit or fall well in this cut. I had to size down to a 22 (I'm sometimes a 24 or 26 in asos trousers..... never a 22 unless thery're jersey!). They just don't look like they do on the model. They're big on the belly, calves and ankles, but a bit straight up and down on the hips. Meh.
Okay these are better. I didn't keep them because the colour doesn't look great on me. These are made from a thin-ish soft and slightly shiny fabric. Not at all stretchy so I needed a 26 to fit my bum and hips. I like cuffed trousers so I wish asos made these in black! Sort of meh.
Non stretch. Even the size 26 had arms that were too tight for me. MEH!
I've had this is in wish-list forever so I finally bought it. I'm keeping it because I know how handy it will be in super hot weather. In the high 30s I need to wear floaty, lightweight, sleeveless dresses with pockets. This has excellent big pockets! It's adjustable thankfully so I can cover my bra. I also tied up the ribbon at the front so it's gathered under the bust and it looks much neater like that. Also, I was worried that it would be too sheer, but actually it's fine and I don't think my chub-rub shorts* will show through it! I got a size 22 and it's still very tent-like. Less meh!
I got this in a 24 and it was massive! It felt at least one size too big for me in terms of fit, but it is also huge in terms of how big the puffer is. It would be amazing in extremely cold weather, but too big and hot for me. Also, the belt doesn't stay done up unless you tie it in a knot. Puffer fabric has no grip so they needed a much more robust fabric on the belt!. Meh.
I need to stop buying plisse. It's far to static for me to cope with! This dress would be so cute if it weren't for the seam under the belly across the hips. As you can imagine, it's not the most flattering on someone with a big wobbly belly! Size 24 was bang on size-wise, but overall? Meh!
*Big Bloomers Aztec slip shorts are my anti-chub rub product of choice (I find that they stay up better than their regular anti chafing shorts, particularly if your knickers are even slightly silky, but I have those in long leg too and they're great over cotton!)
