It is time again for What I Didn't Wear, where I show you what clothing items just did not work for me and why. You can check out previous posts here and for a bigger explanation on why I do this feature, go here.
Today's featured item is partly my own fault. I love trying things through Gwynnie Bee and part of that is working out what sizes are best in each different brand. I have purchased a handful of items through ASOS Curve and a majority of them work great. Because I recently had issues with some items in a US22 (my normal ASOS size) and the material of this dress has no stretch, I went up a size. I threw on some shoes and a belt to show you that this dress has potential.
No belt is another story. As soon as I took off the belt, my not-a-fashionista husband even said, "Oh no, that doesn't work." lol It was just a big ole sack on me without a belt. While the elasticized waist and hips of this dress fit me pretty good, the bust was way too large. I could have gone an extra size down bust-wise. I'm a B cup though, so if you have larger breasts, this has plenty of room to accommodate you.
The negatives are all about the fit. The positives are that I loved the bright colors and fun pattern, the length was great, the dress is lightweight and easy to wear, and it is very comfortable. If I ordered the correct size for me, I think this would have been a success. And just for giggles, in the picture below I prove to you that the top was so large I could easily pull it out to expose my bra!
Have you tried this dress? Do you have fitting difficulties with ASOS Curve? Anything from Gwynnie Bee I should put in my virtual closet?
