Like many other Fatshionistas, recently I've jumped online and checked the sale/clearance section of ASOS Curve. It's great to see so many pictures of curvy women wearing Curve popping up online - just as it should be worn. I can't write about the brand without throwing a shout-out to Devon over at Fat-Nurse who remains my Curve-o-meter for all things ASOS - and also to Vanessa Reece, the awesome ASOS Curve Fit-Model who posts regularly about what it's like inside ASOS HQ.
I bought a couple of things in the ASOS Curve Clearance bin - this is the Ruched Bust Jersey Dress - £12.00.
Being a jersey material, this is an extremely comfortable dress... I'm inclined to team it with a belt for future outings (just to cinch it in a bit), but it does fall nicely without one. I found I had to play with the ruched section across the breast before I was satisfied it was sitting correctly, but, am happy to report - the fit was true.
As you can see, I teamed the dress with a full-black look (leggings and boots), but added red highlights to my lips, nails and feature handbag. YUP - That's my favourite Mac Ruby Woo lipstick again!
Many of you have read my opinions on the ASOS Curve model choices (here and here), but that's never taken away from the fact that the clothes are pretty fabulous (and dare I say it - they look even better on the people they were made for too! Check out more fashionistas wearing Curve in the I Love ASOS Curve Club). It's clear that the designers of the Curve range are really loving their work, just as much as many of us are loving their clothes.
Smooch. Em. x.

ReplyDeleteYou'd look good in a paper bag Em to be honest, such a beauty and love the lipstick. The dress looks fantastic on you. Thanks for the shoutout and posting your picture of this on the facebook group! V x
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous <3 I LOVE the bag and the lipstick too!
ReplyDeleteDress looks great on you. I thought about ordering that dress to. I was worried it would add more volume to the bust area. I already have enough there! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you lovelies -
ReplyDeleteCid - I have really large breasts too and the dress felt a little firm in that area to start, but the material relaxed okay... also, I think the ruching works to reduce breast emphasis a little.
Hot lips! thought for a sec you were wearing Lady Danger, loving the ruby too though x
ReplyDeleteOh wow! you look stunning in that dress! NICE! :D
ReplyDeleteThat dress was made for you dahling! You look amazing!

ReplyDeleteThanks for that photos, I would've never thought that the dress actually would look this pretty. (on the Asos page it looks rather boring) But now I had to order it. :D

Btw I love your pics from the Evans fitting room! (Ok not the one with the Paris shirt I ordered and which got lost in the mail and is now out of stock, but that's another story... ;))
