Review: Chiffon Pleat Wool Dress

7, Oct 2009

Chiffon Pleat Wool Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: This dress is part of Forever’s Twist collection, which has the most adorable bull dog label. I wanted to like this dress just because of the label—and because you can never have enough LBDs. But when I tried it on, something was off. It was another waist [...]

Review: Jacquard Evening Dress

7, Oct 2009

Jacquard Evening Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: Finally! A dress that hits the waist just right . This dress wasn’t extraordinary but for 25 bucks it’s pretty perfect. The banded collar elongates the neck, the pleated skirt is roomy enough that you don’t have to worry about wearing Spanx, the exposed zipper in the back adds [...]

Review: Ruffle Sleeve Dress

28, Sep 2009

Ruffle Sleeve Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never

Fit: I wasn’t planning to try this on. I’ve already tried on enough F21 dresses with this sheath shape and been burned before. But Sydne suggested I try it on anyway for the upcoming (ahhhhh!) holiday season. (Btw, I’ll stop with the ahhhh! holiday season thing probably around mid-October [...]

Review: Belted Sweater Dress

28, Sep 2009

Belted Sweater Dress ($34.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now

Fit: Remember in my Satin Woven Tunic review, I mentioned this is a store for teenagers (duh)? Well, this sweater dress is another example of this. No one over the age of 18 should really wear a dress that’s banded at the bottom like so. It’s just going [...]

Review: Pleated Silky Dress

27, Sep 2009

Pleated Silky Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: You can see Sydne sneaking into my dressing room behind me and the first thing she said was, “Whoa boobies!” And seriously, whoa boobies in this dress. I tried it on because anything pleaty immediately request a trip to the dressing room and I’m happy to report these [...]

F21 It! Caroline D’Amore’s Sweater Dress

23, Sep 2009

Usually the celeb look is way more. But Kim Kardashian’s bestie actually wore Forever 21 last night at GQ, NSF and The Humane Society’s party to benefit the Stop Puppy Mills Project. Normally the model/DJ/Sorority Row actress looks super skinny but this dress does her body good.

Review: Leopard Combo Dress

18, Sep 2009

Leopard Combo Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: I hated this dress at first. The bottom half looked fab, especially if I had Spanx underneath, but the patterned top cut off my neck, making me look like I was wearing a dress four sizes too small. We then tried pulling the neckline down on each side, [...]

Review: Silk Pleated Tunic

15, Sep 2009

Silk Pleated Tunic ($34.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe

Fit: Well isn’t this a nice little nightgown. Seems like the perfect sort of thing a 1960’s sex kitten could wear to bed (unbelted natch and yes, I do watch too much Mad Men). Oh, just one problem. This is not a nightgown. Rather this falls into that difficult [...]

Review: Neo Romantic Sweater Dress

11, Sep 2009

Neo Romantic Sweater Dress ($34.00)
Rating: Buy It Never. Ever. Ever.

Fit: I tried this on mostly out of curiosity. In store, this sweater dress is a hot mess that only gets worse once you try it on. There’s the lace overlay up top that is itchy, the mess psychedelic print and that bow belt is a [...]
