Denim is a bit hit and miss if you’re a plus size girl like me. It’s either too tight, uncomfortable or just a bit… drab! Well, I was really quite impressed when I tried this Curvissa loose fit denim dress. I sized up because I knew any ‘shirt’ style can an issue and the size of arms and the bust is always touch and go. I’m pleases I sized up and it really is a great fit. So it may not be as ‘loose’ as intended but I really like the fit. It skims over my shape, is casual but feminine and I feel great in it. (It’s also available in sizes 14-32)
I’ve wanted a denim dress for quite a quite but I wanted one with sleeves. As I always say, my arms are my little insecure area so I like to feel comfortable in what I wear. I tend to go for either having my arms or legs out. I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable doing both and I really like that these sleeves can be turned up or left full length. It’s a through the year piece. Matched with tights and ankle boots, leggings and converse or just bare legs in the summer. Worn as a shirt, dress or jacket it’s definitely a holiday item too, if you’re only taking hand luggage then hello!!!!! Versatility in one item is priceless. It’s a real put on and go piece. My fave type of wardrobe essential!
Like I said, I sized up and would recommend anyone to size up if you are big on the bust, arms or hips. It’s a little short but who cares! It’s a perfect layering piece too because of its colour, style but also its stretch so you won’t feel like an exploding sausage. So get your vests jumpers and leggings out. I have to say the buttons were super hard to do up so I won’t be in a rush to undo them, wish also means they shouldn’t fall off any time soon. It’s a pretty good quality denim dress I must say.
I have to give this dress 4.5 stars out of 5. It’s almost perfect. Just a little bit longer and it would be a 5 for sure!
Curvissa have a really great ‘New In’ Denim range at the moment and while I think this is one of the best pieces take a look at some of the gorgeous bloggers below who are showing off the other great denim delights!
