Asos curve review 2020 #10

The stuff I forgot to take snaps of!

Unique21 Hero satin wrap dress

I got a size 28 in this dress and it was fine on the top half, but it was barely wrapped around on the hips, so it would be impossible to wear as it would open up every time I moved! Shame as it is lovely thick satin. If you are busty with slim hips this might be lovely on you!

KokoWrap Front Jumpsuit with Piping

Tried this in a sise 26. Too small. also quite scratchy synthetic fabric. Meh!

ASOS DESIGN Curve exclusive balloon sleeve satin midi dress

This just felt like a mess. nothing about it sat quite right.. not sure why!

ASOS DESIGN Curve satin mix twist front midi dress

I got the 26 in this but I needn't have. The skirt is very stretchy fabric so it was too big for me. I might get it in a 24 at some point because it is so comfy to sit down in (which is unusual for a little black dress!)

Koko floral kimono wrap top

I can't tell you how this fits, because the size 26 had such small arms that I couldn't get it on. Non-stretch and feels cheap.

ASOS DESIGN curve v front swimsuit in shiny black with reflective buckle belt

Size 24 was far too short in the body for my long torso. Bigger would be too loose. A real shame as I liked this one a lot!

ASOS DESIGN Curve mesh long sleeve top with corset waist in white

This is cute but sadly too short in the body for me, so it didn't quite work. I tried the 24 and it was super comfy and really stretchy.

ASOS DESIGN Curve long sleeve top with cut out and embellished sleeve detail

Have you ever wanted to dress like a squire in a an Arthurian movie? Then this is the top for you! I didn't like it. Non stretch and crunchy. Proportions just felt odd!

ASOS DESIGN Curve printed cowl neck mini slip

This is lovely! I got the 26 but honestly should have gone for the 24. I just didn't send it back because I used a discount code and Asos no longer do exchanges (BOO!). It's generous and very low cut, super soft and sexy, while still being rather cutsie. My partner liked it and I liked wearing it! Recommend this one ;)

Ann Summers Curve Dominatrix vinyl bodystocking in black

This is awesome. Fits surprisingly well. Stretchy and comfy. Great for either sexy times or fancy dress!

Dorina Plus Size Spirit high impact wired sports bra in blue

Okay, lets be honest here; you can't have a low cut sports bra. If you jumped in this your tits would just pop right out of the top! Sizing is ok but the design is not fit for purpose!

Figleaves Curve Temptation animal print slip dress

This is cute but not the right proportions for me personally. It's a fair bit more generous on the top than the bottom, so if you are more of a triangle shape this would be great (or just want your lower half sucked in loads, which I don't like on myself as I'm a bit straight up and down already!). I'd size down on the cups through. I'm normally a 44DD in Figleaves Curve, but the cups were noticeably bigger on this piece.

AX Paris Plus safari zebra jumpsuit

This was so small. SO small!

New Look Curve stripe jumpsuit

I tried this in a 26 and liked it. It looked cute but casual and felt like it fit ok (although it was only just long enough for my torso!), but because it's non-stretch fabric, it wasn't too comfortable when I sat down in it. I didn't think there was much point wearing something like this (which isn't flattering to be honest!) if it's not comfy. I've added the next size up to my wishlist so I might give it another go soon!

ASOS DESIGN Curve leopard print mini skirt with button front

I got this in a 26 and it fit fine. It's very cool and I LOVE the transparent pockets. I just know it would make me very hot because I'm rubbish at wearing fabrics that don't let my skin breath. Plus I wasn't sure it was really me. I recommend it to anyone who thinks it's them though because it's pretty unique!

That's it guys! Back soon with one of my normal posts of me in the clothes I'm reviewing!

ASOS curve review 2020 #9

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!

Wednesday's Girl Curve midi wrap dress with frill edge in dalmatian spot print

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.

ASOS DESIGN Curve wrap front smock dress in taffeta in spot

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!

Glamorous Curve maxi tea dress with button front in grid check

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!

ASOS DESIGN Curve Marcia underwire shaping slip dress with lace & mesh

You should buy this. Get your normal size or smaller. Generous so no need to size up ;)

Pretty Darling Plus jacquard satin wrap dress

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!

ASOS DESIGN Curve batwing midi dress in satin with embroidery

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!

ASOS DESIGN Curve long sleeve plunge top with tie waist in satin

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.

Liquorish Plus balloon sleeve mini dress with drape detail in print

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 :(

Daisy Street Plus midi cami dress in gingham

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!

Asos curve review 2020 #8

Greetings from lock down. I couldn't resit trying some bits when Asos had the money off sale items, so I went on a summer jumpsuit voyage! 

ASOS DESIGN Curve denim plunge jumpsuit with western belt

This denim jumpsuit is non-stretch. Baffling to me that a fitted, catsuit style jumpsuit has been made without any give! This is the 26 and sadly it's too short on the body for me and so it's going back.

ASOS DESIGN Curve off shoulder embroidery jumpsuit

This is a 26.... quite different sizing from the one above huh?! The top is massive, the hips are not.

If I sized down to a 24 it would still be too big on the top, but it would then be too small on the hips!

ASOS DESIGN Curve tea jumpsuit with puff sleeve and tie detail

On to the keepers! Well this is just so very cute isn't it? I wore it out in the sun today and it's awesome...

Pockets!

This is the 26 but the 24 would also probably have been fine as it's good sizing.

I love it. I now own a strapless bra for if I wanna go full off the shoulder, but I don't care much about bra straps showing with this sort of thing! You can actually wear it pulled up over the shoulders easily as the seam is elasticated, but it looks just as cute off the shoulder. Also with the tie on the bust it's very flexible.

ASOS DESIGN Curve crinkle tea jumpsuit with puff sleeve in stone

Ahhh now this beauty! I tried the 26 on first (above) but I'd also ordered the 24 and tried that one after just because the under bust section wasn't very tight on me.

A hair brushing and a bit of make-up later.....

This is the 24. better! Bit sad that this doesn't have pockets but it's still beautiful!

It's a sort of oat / yellow / nude colour. Not sure stone quite hits the nail on the head in terms of the real colour! It's crinkle fabric which is always great for a bit of give, and perfect for this sort of hot weather.

It's a tiny bit sheer so needs nude or light undies (unless you are happy to flash your pants and bra just a teeny tiny bit!) and on most people it would be quite long. It bites my ankles as I'm 5'8" ish!

It doesn't hide my belly but somehow still manages to be very flattering. Love it! In terms of jumpsuit realness, this isn't very easy to get on and off, so if you get a bit panicked by getting clothes on and off then this isn't for you. the buttons are very fiddly and it's a struggle to get arms in and out, but for me it's worth the hassle for how nice it looks. Oddly enough, although the 26 was easier to get in and out of, it has slightly different loops for the buttons and was SO fiddly to unbutton and button up. Not good for those who have long nails! Ahh life..... pro's and cons!

Asos curve review 2020 #7

I've not bought much clothes-wise during the pandemic / lockdown. I've had a few splurges that have generally been returned without comment, because although I technically have TIME to blog, I haven't had the DESIRE to, for some unknown reason. Possibly because I'm sometimes not in a state to take photos as I've not even dressed, let alone sorted out my face and hair!

I have a few things to show you though!

This seems to have sold out, but thought I'd leave my review in, in case it pops up on ebay or something!

This maxi has been with me for a while. I got it for a bargain price in the sale and felt really summery and pretty in it. 

This is a size 24 and it's lovely. Not too tight, not too loose. Decently weighty stretch fabric that falls nicely and isn't too static. 

ASOS DESIGN Curve wrap midi sundress with knot front in yellow

I was sad to return this dress.... I needed the size 22 and it's quite generous and is the sort of fabric that would loosen up and get baggy with wear. I returned it because the label that's sewn into the seam on the hip really ruins the shape! Oh well, it's an oddly warm fabric for a summery dress anyway. Would be cute with black tights in colder weather.

ASOS DESIGN Curve long sleeve maxi dress in black and orange animal floral print

This maxi is lovely. Super soft and slinky!

Downsize unless you want it to look very oversized. I tried the 24 and ended up getting the size 20 as I wanted relaxed rather than baggy. Love that it has long sleeves as that's pretty rare in maxi dresses!

Also, let's bring back hair crimping!
