Fashion for curvy girls

Thanks. I think she's great, and honestly, she turned out even better than $20, which is hilarious XD

My package from New Look arrived today—I’m absolutely thrilled. I can't wait for the next big sale!!🙂

How long did you have to wait for it to arrive?

one day it's the 10th, the next it's the 14th

Awesome, thanks! I was actually just checking out some shirts and pants for work over there, so I was wondering how long shipping might take. 🙂

My wish list is absolutely massive, but I’m just sitting here waiting for everything to go on sale. XD

Carl Walker79, drop the links to those summer fits so we can see what you actually picked up! 😁 Honestly, I’ve been hitting up New Look way more lately; they actually have some decent stuff.

Got a quick question for you if you don't mind... You bought that jacket from ASOS, right?

Could you do me a huge favor and measure how long it is? I can't stop staring at it because it's so cheap, I feel like I'm doing ASOS a favor by helping them clear out their stock. 😁 I'm just worried it might be too short for me, though—I'm about 5'10". 😢 Thanks!

Sure, I'll move them tomorrow. On my 163 sq ft, they'll cover about two-thirds of the space. I'm not particularly happy with a few items, though; they didn't even pass the dryer test. 😬

This doesn't look great. I guess that jacket would probably look like a total disaster on a runway—like, the butt would be way too front and center, which isn't exactly the vibe she's going for. If it were at least a 65, maybe. But to me, it looks more like a 55. Just waiting on the actual measurements. 😉

So, my black Wish Upon a Star vest finally showed up today. Somehow, it feels like an 18 on me now. I mean, I can wear it, I guess, but maybe a larger size would’ve been better. Usually, 18 works fine for me, though...
I guess it looks to me like those little sweaters don't fare too well in the wash or the dryer either. 😢

So, I’m pregnant, and because life loves throwing curveballs, I have this big wedding coming up in June.
Where in the States could I hunt down a decent dress or maybe a nice tunic for something like this? I really want something that doesn't look cheap or tacky.

Here I am. The length is 65cm (and I have short legs 😬).

Those two New Look vests turned out way too short after the dryer test... and I hate that. Now I'm debating whether to sell them or what. On top of that, the ASOS Curve baseball tee I wanted so badly has shrunk, and frankly, it's just meh. I don't like everything being skin-tight, so I'm totally disappointed. I'll try to stretch it out, but it's never going in the dryer again.

Regarding New Look, I realized after washing that they sent me the wrong size for one of the sweaters—smaller than what I ordered. It still fits okay, but if it had been the larger size, it would have been perfect. 🙂

Does it absolutely have to be in town? Haven't you looked at anything online?

Oh, wait, then there's hope! Thanks so much. If it hits halfway down my butt, that works for me. Maybe a tiny bit shorter, but whatever. I don't own any short sherpa jackets, and this one is cool with that detail under the arm, plus the price is unbeatable. I'll grab the 20 since they don't have the 18, so I won't even have to stress about which 😛 would you have picked? Your actual size or maybe even a size up? Does the sizing run true to number?😁
I'm looking at those baseball tees too, so many combos. Such a shame yours shrank.

I just went with my usual size. The pink one is a bit big on me, but whatever. If I wear a thicker shirt underneath, it’ll be perfect. Besides, I hate it when a jacket feels too tight. 🙂 As for whether a size up would look good, I honestly can't tell. Might end up being way too huge.

Thanks, Carl Walker79, ordering now. 🙂

Anyone have experience with Mango Violeta sizing?

http://shop.mango.com/US/violeta

They go up to size 52, but I'm not sure how they actually fit. If any of you have ordered from them, please let me know.

I'm especially interested in their pants.

BTW, free shipping until midnight.😁

Never heard of them, thanks for the link.

No problem 🙂 It’s pretty new—if I recall, they started selling them around mid-February or early March.

Everything I've looked at is way too expensive... 🤷

They’ve still got some of those fuller-fit models in stock today. There's a 25% discount on the whole bill, and I think it even applies to stuff already marked down. Maybe. 🙂
