ASOS Curve review

I have been hunting for a wow dress for British Plus Size Fashion Weekend. I did find one but when it arrived it was a battle to get in, and it was a battle my boobs won and the dress lost, luckily it was the same time that ASOS had 25% for students so i loaded up my basket with a few dresses i liked to see if i found the dress.

Dress with embellished lace trim, £48 available here


This dress comes in two colors, nude and purple, i chose the purple which is more wine color i think than purple but the color is really nice and makes it stand out. The detail is also unique and a bit different, i think this is more of a dressy dress than something that could be worn everyday. I'm also not a fan of the sleeves, why do some many dresses come with these sleeves? they just aren't that nice, give me a normal sleeve. I got this in a size 20 as i knew it came up large, the size is really good but i am suffering from something i am going to call, hungry boob, the detail under my bust line seems to disappear into my bust line and you can no longer see it. I am not sure why this happens, it isn't because it is too small, it might be because i am quite busty. It has two layers and a nice square neckline. I just didn't like this on me enough to make me want to buy it.  

Shirt Dress in color block £35 available here


Again this is a really nice dress and the fit was pretty good. I got a size 22 and it did well over my bust, my problem was with the white band around the middle, it was just a bit tight and didn't sit right, another case of the hungry boob seemed to be happening. I also don't think the collar does me any favours (i'm not sure why though) the material is light weight so would be lovely in the summer and the skirt is a bit floaty and came to knee length on me. If this was in the sale i might repurchase but for not it is not for me. 

Shirt Dress with floral embroidery £50 Available here 

 

This is quite a heavy dress, it has two layers on the bottom and long sleeves making it good for the weather. The embroidery is really nice, it features on the cuffs, the collar and along the buttons. I got a size 22 and it is too big in the waist and sleeves, it fits well on my bust and the buttons don't seem to be straining but if i sized down to get the fit everywhere else i know it wouldn't fit on my bust. This is a nice dress but a little expensive for what it is and it didn't have the wow factor for me. 


So while none of these dresses were the one, i did get a fourth dress in the this order, which was perfect, however you will need to wait to see it, a girl needs to have some mystery and surprise.
