ASOS CURVE Jersey Top with Chiffon Sleeves Review

I bought this top more than a month ago, which is why I have the black version which is now sold out.  ASOS CURVE Jersey Top with Chiffon Sleeves

Colour: Currently the only colour available is the deep red.  I have the black version of this, so I cannot comment on the deep red one.

Material: Now this top has a combination of two materials.  It has a chiffon material on the sleeves which is quiet thick when considering it is chiffon, but still it is very comfy.  The rest of the top is made from viscose, which is stretchy and so one can risk taking a different size than their usual size since it stretches.

Style:  It is simple but yet fashionable.  The detail on the front is quiet cute.  I personally don't like frills but I find the detail on this top quiet tasteful, which in my opinion makes the top more versatile.  The sleeves are see-through as can be seen in the picture.  However, in my case the collar area seemed lower than as shown on the model. 

Fit: It is true to size, but due to being quiet stretchy one can play around with sizes but obviously one has to take into account their body shape.  The sleeves looked longer on me, but the end sleeve detail is quiet tight and so the sleeves didn't look frumpy but fashionable. Lenght-wise, the top is neither too short not too long, so covers the hip area nicely.  

Conclusion: This top is ideal for night outs, but if paired with certain pieces it can look quiet elegant such as if worn under a suit or blazer it would be good for work-wear or if one wears it with a tight pencil skirt or high waisted pants it would look great as lounge-wear.  As I said the top is very versatile, so it is up to you to use your fashion creativity.  My only disappointment with this top as again it doesn't come in a large variety of colours, lucky me I got the black one and all I can say is that this top will definitely be used well by me. 

Dear Asos,

After looking at the Asos Curve selection of dresses, I feel disappointed.  Although the dresses are gorgeous, not many in my opinion are flattering on a plus-size girl.  The great majority are too short and many plus-size women have huge thighs and would like them to be covered, even if one wears leggings they still wouldn't be very flattering.  Other dresses have high-waist details and girls with guts cannot wear such dresses as they wouldn't help to emphasise the good part of our curves but emphasise our flaws.
The following dresses are from the normal Asos selection which I think should be included in the Asos Curve catalog as these would be extremely flattering on the great majority of plus-size girls;
1. ASOS Midi Dress With Full Skirt

2. ASOS Pencil Dress with Square Neck

3. ASOS Midi Dress with Ruched Panels

4. ASOS Peterpan Collar Dress with Puffed Shoulders

5. ASOS Wrap Dress with Ruched Front

6. ASOS Midi Dress With Belt

7. ASOS Wrap Dress in Ponti Pencil

I have chosen these as some of the designs have ruching, which helps in hiding flaws and emphasise one's curves and which unfortunately not many dresses in the Asos Curve section have a lot of ruching detail.  Also I included a couple of midi-dress designs as a lot of dresses on Asos Curve are short and don't go beyond the knees.
Feel free to comment on whether you disagree or agree with these choices ;D

ASOS Curve Shirt With Super Long Pussybow Review

So it has been a while since I wrote a review, so recently I made a couple of purchases for the holiday season and I decided to review them to help out those who are still undecided on whether to purchase these items or not.  

This is a review for the ASOS Curve Shirt With Super Long Pussybow.

Colour: The site only offers one colour which is a wine/ deep red colour.  The colour of the actual item is almost as that shown in the picture, it is slightly lighter but still very close to the site images.

Material: It is very light fabric, so I wouldn't suggest wearing just this outside as you would end up freezing.  The fabric doesn't stretch so buy true to your size.  It also has a slight shine to it, not the glittery kind, but kind of the shine that satin has but way less shiney.  Also the fabric is very comfy and feels very nice on the skin.

Style: It is very low cut.  I had to wear a tank top underneath as my bra kept showing.  The bow didn't cover the low cut enough.  The bow as the product name states is very long, but it gives this shirt the extra fashionable factor which in my opinion makes it a more elegant piece of clothing.  The sleeves aren't as long as shown in the picture they are more 3/4 sleeves, but they are quiet baggier than that shown in the picture.  The length of the top is perfect, it is neither too long nor too short, so it covers the hips nicely.  

Fit: As I mentioned previously, the fabric doesn't allow for that much stretch.  The sizing, the bust area isn't that big.  In fact I being a small-chested girl and usually there would be still a lot of room to fill which would make certain tops very unflattering due to having so much room left in the chest area, this top had a right balance of chest area, i.e. if one is small-chested like me the top would still look good and if one has an average sized chest the shirt would look amazing, but I don't think it would fit very large-chested girls.  The tummy area was just right, in my case it was an exact fit and I would have liked a little more space.  While the hip area, since the shirt isn't very long and has a sort of a 'n' shape on the sides, the hip area wouldn't be very affected and so the fit is quiet comfy for those with large hips.

Conclusion: I suggest this top for office wear or lounge parties, but not for weddings or similar events.  It is elegant but not too elegant so it is best to be worn for those events which require some formality.  It looks great with high waisted skirts and pants and looks great when paired with a suit.  Fit is true to size so buy your size, but if you are large-chested I suggest to go a size up.  My only disappointment is that it doesn't come in other colours and styles.
