One of the first plus fashion related events I ever reported on while having my show on The Curve Network was when City Chic had just made a huge splash having the first plus fashion show at Australia’s Fashion week. I remember looking at the models and the gorgeous styles they were wearing and was seriously in awe that there was such an amazing brand out there that was really fulfilling what the curvy community was longing for in trends, quality, and overall wearability. Well its been a little over a year now and City Chic has made even more strides in the fashions they offer, as had the plus fashion world, and my world as a blogger. Imagine how ecstatic I was when City Chic contacted me a couple of weeks ago and asked me to review a piece from their current collection! I was so thrilled I immediately hopped on the site and probably spent a good couple of hours trying to decide between so many great pieces. Finally after much debate I decided on the Rosey Spot Tier Dress

Now first off let me say I expected to have to wait quite a while for this piece to come but was pleasantly surprised when I received it only about a week and half after ordering it. I seriously squealed “shut the front door!” when my fed ex guy handed me the package and told me that I was getting something all the way from the Outback! I tore it open right then and there and the first thing I noticed was how great the quality of this dress is. The material was nice and heavy, but not too heavy that it would be too hot to wear. I checked out the stitching and the extra backing on each tier and  was very impressed with the all around quality of the dress. The ladies in my office were also completely anxious to see it on as well, since it looked so cute even after being shipped a zillion miles and demanded that I wear it to the office the next day, so of course I did!

Now let me tell you this dress is amazing and has probably become one of my new favorite pieces in my closet. It fits really wonderfully in a size XL and isn’t too tight in any places. It is very flattering on the curves with the strapless curved bodice , fitted waist and tiers that start at the hip line hitting just above the knee on my 5’4″ frame. This dress also has great movement with those tiers and while wearing it I can’t help but feel a little sassy! The print of the dress is also really fantastic and cute with the small-scale polka dots and the red roses scattered throughout. I have a serious need now to buy a sexy red heel to go with this dress simply because it would be just too perfect! I also love how I can wear this dress like I did in the above photos with my great sparrow necklace from Torrid and my new cute Payless black heels and could easily go out for a hot date or to dance the night away, but can also dress it down a bit with a cardigan and a more conventional heel for the office. The pattern gives it a little pop that keep its fun for work wear and I love that!  I also think I can easily translate this dress to fall fashions with a legging or textured tight, a pair of booties and a seriously chic blazer. Way to hit this one out of the park City Chic!
