I tried some bits from asos. Mostly disappointing but one keeper!
There are a few things that drive me absolutely mad. All shoes being mules at the moment, so many backless dresses and fake pockets. Somebody PLEASE explain to me why any designer looks at a piece of clothing and goes "pockets would look cool there, but don't actually make usable pockets". What is wrong with these fools?! Anyway. I might have been more into this very lightweight and slightly cheap feeling jumpsuit if the pockets were real, because it would be great in hot weather. Nice bright colour, stretchy bodice and super wide legs. Lots of reviews complained about the straps being too long but I didn't have that problem at all. If anything I'd have liked to have them a bit longer! Very much depends on your height I suspect! This is a size 22. I sized down after reading the reviews, which was definitely the right decision! Oh and this isn't red, it's orange..... never seen a tomato this colour!
Size 26. This one was hella disappointing! If it's too long on the body for me then it will drown most people! The bust darts are on my waist and there is no shape. It's like a long tube of fabric. And it's a nice fabric so a real shame!
Designed by a giant perhaps?! I liked the fabric and loved the pattern and colour, but the jumpsuit itself is a bit of a disaster sadly. Unless you're a very large busted 6ft woman, in which case this might fall in a good way!
Size 26. Similar problems with this one. I rolled the legs up but it's very long in the body, very low cut and therefore it doesn't fall well as the hips and pockets don't hit at the right place.
I did consider folding over the shoulders and sewing them to get the hips in the right place and make the neckline higher (because this could be kinda cute!) But what stopped me was the fabric. It's itchy. I was hoping it would be like my massive sun yellow asos jumpsuit but it's like fake scratchy linen. I sent it back, even though I kinda wanted to keep it! Hopefully I'll find this sort of style another time and in a better fit and fabric. Or I'll get this one again in the sale, modify it and hope a wash with make it lass itchy!
I recommend this one.... perfect for bieng the buxom wench you always wanted to be!
