First up the Anna Scholz side pleat dress. Now £35. I got this in a 22 and it's huge, i could size down to a 18 i think. The cut of this dress is really flattering and if it was tighter i think it would make figure look amazing. It is also really long on me, which is something i am not a fan of. It is meant to be animal print but it looks more like a 70's carpet we used to have in my living room. Sadly this dress just isn't for me.
Frock and Frill lace trim tunic, £26. I wasn't 100% sure about this dress but wanted to give it a try. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about this dress that i just don't like. It is almost skin tone on me which just looks a bit odd and again now that flattering on me.
Anna Scholz crinkle bid trim dress, now £34. I was thinking of this dress for my brothers wedding. My mother when she seen it said it looks quite depressing. I can't decide on this dress, it is nice, but again on the long side, the material is quite thin and see through so i might have to wear something under it and it might make add bulk to my middle, What do you think?
Finally the sheer skirt maxi dress, £55. I seen Rachel in this and liked it so while ordering the rest i thought i would give it a go. It is actually a perfect length on me so anyone taller might struggle. I liked the flock top which seems to be very trendy at the moment. The band in the middle is flattering. The underskirt could be on the short side though, my mum complained saying you could see the fat top bits of my thighs in it and therefore it wasn't appropriate. Again what do people think?
I love both Anna scholz dresses I like to have some length sometimes :) the frock n frill tunic is the wrong colour for your tone so makes you look a bit washed out. Love the last dress but it's up to how comfortable you feel in it xx
ReplyDeleteGreat buys. I really love the last dress, it's really pretty, but as rachel said it depends on how you feel in them. I really liked that tunic too, I might have to go and see if there are any left xx
ReplyDeleteI had the maxi dress and I absolutely loved it but it was just too short on me :( It's such a flattering and beautiful dress too.

I think both of the last two dresses look great :) x
ReplyDeleteI like the last dress most. Your mum seems very concerned with what you wear, but that's mums for you :) How do you feel about the shortness of the underskirt on the last one? If you like it a lot and want to be more wedding appropriate you could wear some dark but sheer tights perhaps? As long as you're happy, go for it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame about the Anna Scholz dress. I don't like mid length dresses like that either. I like ones just above knee level or ankle length or else my lower legs look like twigs! xx
I really love the second to last dress on you. I don't find it depressing at all! I think if it's slightly see-thru you could pop on some of those high-waist shaping painties (I wear something similar to this under some of my dresses: http://www.hipsandcurves.com/plus-size-lingerie/p-11846-plus-size-catwalk-high-waist-shaping-panty-shapewear.aspx) and you wouldn't have to worry about bulking up your waist (which I honestly don't think is an issue). Are those butterflies on the shoulders? So cute!
ReplyDeleteI think the black Anna Scholz dress looks amazing on you, but I'd probably shy away from black for weddings... unless it's a winter one, but that's just me. It would be perfect for a Christmas party or a formal dinner out- definitely a keeper! I also really like the last dress on you. My Mum says the same stuff to me, but it's all about how you personally feel in it as I think it looks great. I love that style of dress, but I personally haven't the confidence to wear them. I think the squirrel tunic looks cute from the front! Shame it's a bad fit. And I think the Frock and Frill one has too much fabric to the arms and shoulders, if that makes sense? The camel/beige colour always washes us pale girls out! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the black Anna Sholz dress, I also really like the first one!

I have the leopard Anna Scholz dress (reviewed it here http://plumpparsnip.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/simply-be-anna-scholz-dress-fest.html) and if you got a couple of sizes smaller it would look much better - of course if you don't like the print then it's a definite no! I think the other Anna scholz is the dress that looks best on you, length wise I love a midi but i think that(unless your tall)they only work with flipflops or high heels!
ReplyDeleteI'm massively biased about sheer maxi dresses with mini's underneath because it's a trend i really don't like (on anyone, not just us plus size gals!).
If your looking for something for a wedding have you looked at the crazy clearance site? loads of great dresses on there that would be great! xx
Cute :)

Love the animal print dress on you I think it really suits you. ANd the black one for the wedding is gorgeous. I was at a very psh wedding in August and a lot of women wore black, with a bright shrug or shawl over them, and they looked great. i would never have worn black to a wedding before then! Maybe a lovely cream or red shrug would look good and brighten it up. I wore a black shrug over a beige/black/white shift dress to the aforementioned wedding as I hate my arms being on show, especially when loads of pics are getting taken
