Review of ASOS Curve Floral Mirror Print Bodycon Dress
It's time for my second review of ASOS Curve and this time it is something completely out of my comfort zone.... BODYCON! Apart from an unworn black lace bodycon dress that I bought last Christmas that disguises all my lumps and bumps I haven't really experimented with this style before because I am quite conscious of my tummy area and wobbly bits! I decided to steer away from my safe choices and review some clothing that I wouldn't normally choose to wear. This makes for impartial reviews rather than everything being perfect all of the time.
Bodycon dress in mirror floral print: ASOS Curve, currently reduced to £31.50,
Necklace: Unknown, Bracelets: New Look & Unknown, Heels: Next
What I particularly liked about this bodycon dress, apart from the print which is absolutely gorgeous and unique, was the length. A lot of the bodycon dresses are cut very short and I think that the extra length gives it a bit more class. I think that I would need a lot more confidence to wear this dress out in public without some sort of jacket semi-covering myself up. I am wearing shapewear underneath the dress from Marks and Spencer (£29.50) to smooth out my lumpy bits.
The reason I decided not to wear a jacket or cardigan for this review is so that you can get a full view of the print of the dress. I am wearing a size 18 which fits perfectly and is quite tight (this also helps with smoothing out any love handles!). The dress is made very well in a soft, stretchy jersey fabric and is available on the ASOS website in the sale currently reduced from £45.00 down to £31.50, however only a size 20 and size 28 are left in stock.
I think that this dress is worth the price tag as it is well made and beautiful but I think I need a bit more experience in bodycon and confidence to be able to rock it as well as the model on the ASOS Curve website (Mr FH doesn't agree with that statement and he absolutely loves it!). I have one more item to review for ASOS Curve but I am very impressed with the quality of their items and I aim to make them a regular on the site :) If you haven't already checked out their ever changing range of clothing made especially for a size 18 to 26/28, you won't regret it... it's awesome!

I love this dress it looks great on you! It will look really good with a jacket too. I totally agree about the length, it's good to have a bit extra for sitting down too, the ones that are too short tend to display a bit too much when seated!
ReplyDeleteIt's the bit right around my tummy that I am uncomfortable with - even with shapewear it just outlines everything but I think that with the jacket that I wouldn't be as worried as I got a different bodycon dress to wear to plus north with a jacket :) x
