To continue my streak for the week, I am up to Fix #6 with my reviews. I am going to accomplish my goal I swear! I made a request for an on demand fix in mid-September 2017 because I knew that I would be attending a wedding in early October. This was a bit of a special Fix because I requested all dresses for such an event! No surprise now, but my wonderful stylist delivered and I had a good variety to choose from.

Similar to my previous post, I neglected to take photos of this Fix’s pieces because I was in such a rush to get ready for that weekend, so for now let’s please :) make do with my Style Cards and I will happily post some more pics of the items I kept later.

Dress #1: Claudia Lace Dress by Brixon Ivy

If I recall correctly this was a cute navy blue option. I liked it, it fit alright – not amazing, but alright. But the issue was more that it didn’t speak to me. So it was a return.

 

 

Dress #2: Emeralda Knit Dress by Kaileigh

I thought this one was a pretty classy option. While I was dubious with the floral, I love navy, so I was willing to give it a try. These dresses never seem to work for me though unless I am 100% fit at the time: they tend to highlight whatever amount of tummy I have going on, no matter how small. So I had to veto that one. Return!

 

Dress #3: Leeah Lace Knit Dress by WISP

As I have mentioned before, I really like black. So when I pulled this delicate but strong LBD out of the box it became an instant challenge to let it go. So I ended up keeping this one. ‘Nuff said. Haha!

I haven’t had that many opportunities to wear it yet, but I love it all the same, I know it is there waiting for me when that perfect opportunity arises. I didn’t really see that opportunity being the wedding though, so this was an extra buy. :)

Dress #4: Tahj 2fer Knit Maxi Dress by Gilli

I was doubtful when I saw this one in the box. Florals, light blue, it didn’t really strike me as a ‘me’ dress. And while this is true…

It looked beautiful on. You can’t see it as well on the card, but there is a double layer of fabric over the bust (for the light blue vested construction) that made it super flattering. It showed a little chest while still remaining classy. And it was a longer (read: warmer) option for the wedding on Peaks Island. I’m actually really glad I chose this one because of that – it was really foggy that night for the reception and it would have had quite the chilly otherwise.

Dress #5: Zola Knit Dress by Loveappella

I really like the burgundy color, it was especially right for fall! So I hoped it would look good. However, the fabric did not pull in the right places for me. It stretched oddly around my thighs and though I liked the decorative cut toward the bottom, it didn’t work for me, so it was a return.

 

All in all, I bought 2 dresses. That is pretty good for me considering I am a pants and tops person by default. I loved all the options and I think I picked the best options for me.

I really enjoy Stitch Fix for special occasions as well – it is so much easier than going out and trying on 100 dresses, all with one little thing wrong with them or an imperfect fit. Not to say that you can’t find a dress in-store, just that it is a little more time-consuming. :)

I’m going to keep on trekking on my Stitch Fix reviews. I’m almost done!!! Just two more and then I’ll be up-to-date. And I’ll make sure to log my next Fix properly. And in a timely fashion. Get it?! Fashion. Anyway, until next post!
