Gwynnie Bee is an online subscription service for plus size clothing. What is great about Gwynnie Bee is that it allows you to rent and try out clothes from a variety of designers, many of which are high end. Even better, they have a 30 day free trial, which I most certainly took advantage of!
As someone who is both plus size and into fashion, I have had to do my fair amount of online shopping. Let's face it, we just don't have that many options in-store. I have to drive 30 minutes to get to a Forever 21 that has a plus size section, and my local mall just got a Torrid recently. It's hard to find the fashions you want to wear in brick and mortar stores, so a lot of us curvy ladies do our shopping online.
I always prefer to try something on in the store before purchasing it because finding a good fit can be really difficult on a plus size body. I can order from certain companies online and I know what I'll get. Forever 21 and ASOS Curve are among those I frequent, and I feel comfortable knowing which size and what styles work best on me. However, with any new brand there are changes in sizing and that's where Gwynnie Bee was a little bit difficult for me. I've also had some weight gain and loss in the past few years and my sizing is different than it used to be.
Now, onto the dress I chose! I absolutely loved this beautiful, curve-hugging dress. It was tailored to hug my body in the most slender areas – the wrists and the waist. I really enjoyed the abstract looking print, which is a little different than my signature style. It almost looks like a romper but the skirt is actually elasticized at the hem, giving it that flowy shorts kind of look.
