AX Paris recently
launched a new plus size range, also called Curve. They very kindly sent me this dress from their range, which I though was really cute! Unfortunately it ended up being rather short on me, so I've passed on the dress to my sister Charlotte, of Sugar & Spice. She agreed to do a guest review for you all, so here are her thoughts on the dress:
"I love the colour of this dress, it is very on trend. The style is unique & I really like the collar detail. It comes with a free belt, which looks better in real life than in the stock images. The dress retails at £35, but the fabric is rather cheap, so I'm not completely sure that is is worth it. The most I would pay for this dress would be around £25. It is very comfortable though, & perfect for summer. Overall I would rate it 8/10." - Charlotte
My own personal thoughts
are mainly the same as Charlotte's, but I'd also like to add that it would be better for a shorter person, I'm 5"8, she is 5"4, & the length was much better on her than me! I am really glad though that there is a new range of plus size clothing, which normally is so limited & I am excited to see what AX Paris Curve offers in the future. Have you heard about Curve before? Has anyone else got any thoughts on the range?
EDIT - Charlotte just informed me that dye from the belt has rubbed onto the dress, which obviously is not great! Hopefully it will come out, but with a new dress you don't expect this to happen! I hope the quality of their other items is better than this one.
Also, for some extra cuteness, thought I'd show you the latest addition to the family, meet Walter, the Shih Tzu.
I wasn't really sure whether or not to post about him, as we recently had some trouble with our other dogs & had to give up Tallie, which was frankly awful. Mum chose to get Walter as our house felt incomplete without 3 dogs. Also little Dillon needed a playmate as our older dog Button doesn't have the energy for him. Since getting Walter they have been the best of friends & play everyday!
He had his first bath today, he looked so funny when wet. Also, you can spy Dillon peeking over the side hoping he wasn't next (he was!). Hehe!

I am glad that there is a new range out but to me the dress is still too short on your sister and as I'm 5'10 it would put me off trying anything from there, the range does look beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteEach to their own on the length, as I quite like this length on me. :)

Your sister is beautiful! Their Curve range is nice but i'm disappointed that they don't just make their normal range in bigger sizes. xo
ReplyDeleteI haven't even checked their main range, didn't want to upset myself haha! I do wish retailers would just extend their sizes on regular items, but it seems to be the thing for them to just bring out ranges. >.<
Deleteyour dog doesn't look pleased certainly... :D
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your room, your dog, and your dress!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat is sizing like hon? I hear lots of girls with heavy boobage have had to go up one or even two sizes? Would LOVE and appreciate your opinion. x.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it runs pretty small, this dress is stretchy, but does fit more like a 24 than the 26 it is supposed to be. If it wasn't stretchy I am not sure it would have fit either of us!
DeleteThank you. x.
DeleteYour doggies are so cute!!! I have a havanese and she's just adorable and also a bit crazy :P What happened to Tallie? Why did you have to give him up?
