I was recently contacted by Curvissa, who very kindly offered to send me an item of clothing from the range for review. I chose this beautiful black lace dress.
Curvissa are a new brand, stocking sizes 14-32. I was really impressed with the range of styles available, in particularly the range of evening wear. I also found the website easy to navigate, and well laid out. Some people will like the shape calculator function, where you add your measurements and it works out what body shape you are. It then makes suggestions as to what styles suit your body shape. (I found it interesting, as I have never known what body shape I am!)
The dress itself is very pretty. I like to have items in my wardrobe I can play around with, that I can wear to work or wear out to a more formal occassion. This dress is perfect for that. Here, I have worn it with just a belt, leggings and ballet flats, ideal for going into town shopping or out for lunch. I think it will also look awesome with some biker boots and a biker jacket when the weather gets cooler. It is short (i'm 5ft 6, for reference) but I think you could get away with wearing opaque tights with it also. To dress is up, you could pair this with opaque tights, some chunky silver bangle and some heels for a night on the town.
The quality of the dress is really good. I love the details of the sleeves, the lace on the cuffs give it a really pretty touch. The sleeves are a good length too, perfect if you're a bit shy of showing your arms. The detail of the lace is gorgeous, and I really love the lace detail on the V neck, too.
All in all, a very pretty, functional dress!

I really like the sound of the calculator - it's such a genius thing to have on a website - especially a plus size one, it gives me faith that this brand are more likely to stock fitted/tailored clothes rather than shapeless shifts (I'm looking at you Evans!).
I definitely will check Curvissa out!
cute!
you look really lovely in that dress! They do have an awesome range of clothes, I'm loving their website! :)
The dress looks great! I'd love to see it with biker boots and a leather jacket, very rock chick, which is my thang.

Thanks for introducing me to this site. I wear crop tops/sports bras over regular bras and my current ones are old worn and a little too small (I'm 21 and I've had them since I was about 14) and Curvissa has what looks like the perfect replacement :D
