December 8, 2011 by editor

ASOS Techno Boheme Trapeze Dress

Primp Step Repeat Pinwheel Print Trapeze Tunic

Trapeze Dresses have side seams that are cut straight under the arm hole and widens at the hem. They are also called Tent Dresses and are:

Great for:

  • Oval silhouettes
  • Triangle silhouette
  • Rectangle silhouette

Others:

  • Anyone who would like to camouflage wide hips/thighs

Might want to give this a miss if you are a/an:

  • Hourglass silhouette (the lack of waistline in such dresses may make you look bulkier than you really are.)

UrbanOutfitters.com – Truly Madly Deeply Scoop Neck Tee

April 17, 2011 by editor

Truly Madly Deeply Scoop Neck Tee

Truly Madly Deeply Scoop Neck Tee USD$24

A wardrobe staple, this scoop neck tee is made to have an oversized tee effect. I like that it is cotton thus is non-crease and is great for layering or worn alone.

Great for:

  • Rectangle
  • Oval
  • Inverted Triangle silhouettes

Others:

  • Petite triangle silhouettes can try this, but don’t get too large a size or it may ‘drown’ you. You may even want to get a size small since this top runs a little larger than usual.

Might want to give this a miss if you are a/an:

  • Full hourglass. This top does nothing to show off your curves and you may end up looking bulky.

Colour:

This dress is available in 7 colours – take your pick!

Shopping experience on urbanoutfitters.com:

  • Ships internationally

Wear it with:

BDG Cigarette Mid-Rise Jean - Black Overdye

ASOS Short Sleeve Belted Pencil Dress

September 14, 2010 by editor

ASOS Short Sleeve Belted Pencil Dress – £35.00

This is a 100% polyester dress, which means it is not elastic and does not stretch much. As such, be careful in size selection because you either fit into it, or not.

Great for:

  • Hourglass
  • Figure 8
  • Rectangle silhouettes with slight waist definition

Others:

  • Triangle shaped ladies with significantly wider bottoms, you may want to select a size larger. In the sizing chart, choose the size that suits your bottom half.
  • Similarly, for inverted shaped ladies, opt for a size that suits your bustline or shoulders. However, if you have significantly narrower hips as compared to your top half, I suggest you give this a miss.

Might want to give this a miss if you are a/an:

  • Oval
  • Complete Rectangle

Colour:

This dress is available in 3 colours – bright blue, hunter green and black.

  • Go for the bright blue if you like something vibrant and energetic.
  • Go for hunter green if you prefer something softer and muted.
  • DO NOT go for black because you think it has a slimming effect!

Shopping experience on ASOS.com:

  • Free shipping everywhere in the world is a huge bonus for me!
  • Able to return/refund/exchange but be patient, they take a while to process this.
  • ASOS.com also has a customer service policy whereby they will reply your emails within 4 hrs, thus they are really easy to contact via email.

Wear it with:

ASOS Plastic Contrast Frame Clutch
