Belted Abstract Tube Dress, Available up to Size 28. Belt included.
It's really cute, isn't it? The dress features one of the latest trends right now: an uneven hemline. The back of the dress is longer than the front, a design element that's been all over the pages of InStyle and People Style Watch.
I like the watercolor print, in particular - it feels very "Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, watching the sunset." I've also tossed a long cardigan over the dress, slipped on a pair of casual flip flops and worn it to run errands at the Farmer's Market. You know I love versatility!
My clumsy attempt at showing you the longer back hem.
Lizzie Miller, I am not.
The last time I checked in on Maurices, I couldn't find anything that suited my style. Everything skewed young and small towney.
I can call something small towney because I come from a small town. One where we actually had a Maurices - before they carried plus sizes.
But after seeing what they have to offer now - trendy though not too young, tops and tees, pants, skirts, dresses ranging in price from about $25-$60 - I'm definitely more interested. And this dress is quickly on its way to becoming my summertime favorite. So although Maurices sent this dress to me to review for you, I can see myself making a purchase in the future.
One thing to note- their sizes run smaller than what you might be used to in other plus size stores. I wear a Lane Bryant 18 - but had to order this dress in a size 2 (22/24). Be sure to check your measurements against their size chart before ordering.
Have you tried Maurices lately? What did you think?
I'm excited about this because I like Maurices. Great info!
ReplyDeleteI have had about half of their items run too large on me. Where I would usually wear a 2 I have to size down to a 1. Also the other way really depends on the cut of the item for me.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Stephanie- the cut and fabric definitely influence what size will fit. What have you tried from there that ran large on you?
ReplyDeleteI'm a 10 & some things in my size Run a little snug but I do have broad shoulders. I love Maurices clothes, both casual & dressy. I am a funeral director & have to dress up a lot so I find a great pair of dress pants & several different trendy tops I can mix & match. I don't have a Maurices close by anymore. I moved 200 miles from my hometown Where I was just 15 minutes from Maurices & made several visits there quite often. I would love to try out clothes for Maurices. I would be more than HAPPY to show them off & recommend them for others. I am a huge fan. I would love this trendy dress in my size.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if I am the only one who doesn't care for the wide belt look? Maybe it's because I can't pull the look off.. it makes my hips look enormous.. The dress is lovely and looks gorgeous on you.
