What about a video where you let subscribers pick some clothes for you? Some of us have similar body types and might be able to suggest things you wouldn’t think of!
June 06 Depends on where you live and where you shop. The clothes in this video weren’t made for her body type. Most clothes in America would fit her with ease, but ASOS in particular has a plus size section for what is actually average here and their normal line is made for thinner, taller women
yeah im pretty thin, but even i wouldnt buy clothes like this bc im not tall or flat enough to pull them off, these are made for a very specific, model-esque body type i think.
Shop for YOUR body, never the models!!! Shopping exclusively based on how the clothing looks on the models body is a surefire way to get dissapointed. Always have your bodytype and height in mind! I know it can be hard to visualize in your head when it's an online store, but try to form your ideas of what will look good on you based on clothing you already have at home that you really like and think flatters your body. It's not asos fault that you are not good at picking out clothing for your body, and that's absolutely not meant to come off as rude but you cant blame the site for your own decisions. The shipping aspect is bad though and definitely something you should enquire about, I've never had asos be that late on an order but it happens on all sites sometimes unfortunaly.
Right?? When ordering online, a person always has to think about how something will look like on their body, not the model. Just because you like the way it looks on the model doesn't mean it will work on your body. Case closed
Lots of people have already pointed out that you bought clothing not made for your body type, but I'd also like to say some of these did not look nearly as bad on you as you thought they did!!
Totally agree, actually, my favorites were 2, 4, & 7 (which she hated), they were just too big for her. I bet if she'd try them again in a smaller size she'd like them.
We girls who have curves need structure or detailing in our clothes .. shapeless t shirt dresses are for people who have linear bodies. That’s why the asymmetrical dress looks good on you
Exactly. I don't feel like this is false advertising on Asos' part. All of them look similar to model picture. Flouncy shapeless shirt dress aren't my favorite silhouette on curvier/larger bodies.
I agree 100 % I tell folks all the time to go check out eShakti web site they have custom made clothes . www.eshakti.com To me she looks like she has a apple shape body she need clothes to snatch her waist in and something shorter to show her legs off. Most apple shapes have no waist but thinner legs .. Got to work with what you got . Work them legs girl ..lol
I agree. I'm a firm believer that anyone can wear anything they like and don't deserve to be judged for it but at the same time if you're looking at a model that is a totally different shape to you and asking why it looks different when you wear it, that's not the brand's fault. You could argue that they should have pictures modelling every item on different body types, but that's a lot of money they're expected to spend on an item that won't sell much because it doesn't look right. I LOVE the look of tshirt dresses and really baggy things on models but I'm super curvy. I know it will not look the way I want it to, so I just don't buy it. Just like I won't look at dresses in bright colours that are super stretchy, close fitting fabric. That's gonna make me look more lumpy than a camel. Skater dresses though? I rock a good skater dress. I don't believe people HAVE to dress for their body types, that's a load of shit. I also don't believe in blaming companies for you buying things you know won't fit the way you want them to.
I do agree. I have a similar body type to Kristi and I always buy structured dresses. T-shirt dresses do not work on top and mid heavy body types. Skater dresses would look nice on her.
Amen. She seems to have a very good grasp on why things don't look flattering for her height and shape but made a lot of assumptions saying "I thought this would be cute".
I really hope i don’t come off like a c u next Tuesday but we have the same body type and when you shop online you basically have to completely ignore what it looks like on the model and be objective about how the silhouette will translate to your figure. I have to mentally add several sizes to the model and this helps me to prevent myself going through the hassle i used to of always returning stuff. I think it’s so easy to get caught up in how cute it looks on the model but i always think “if I saw that in a store on a hanger, would i be interested in it or do i literally only want it because it’s been styled for a shoot with a size 4 model”
I *am* a size 4, and 90% of the time things that look cute on models look not-so-cute on me. Maybe me being short throws off the proportions, but even buying petite-size is a crapshoot when it comes to ordering online. I think if your body is above or below average in terms of weight or height, it's easier to either get exact measurements (and pray the site is accurate with THEIR measurements), or just go to an actual store. As an example, I ordered a pair of jeans online, they fit perfectly. Ordered the same brand and style, but in a different color, and they didn't fit at all. Had the same thing happen with shirts! Same brand/style, different colors, different fits. I know online shopping is convenient, but it's also always a gamble.
Yes, as someone who is 5’8 and 125lbs, clothes N E V E R look the same on me as the model. Even those sights that tell you the model’s height and weight. I just think a lot of sites alter clothing to fit the model and then send you the base version before alterations
Hey Kristi I don’t think it’s ASOS fault but your choices. I think you should start doing research on what good for your body type. I used to have the same issue as I have an hourglass figure. I would see these models that were sticks were these cute dresses and then I would try it on and I couldn’t get the dress passed my ass and when I would get the right size it would be too big at the busy area. I realized that straight clothing such as jeans pants and dresses just weren’t for my body type. So I recommend that you do some research on clothes that will later your body type on Pinterest and then cater your selects around that. Also I recommend shopping at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. I know that these places are more expensive but you can find quality clothes. I find that when you have quality material (not polyesters and polyester derivatives) and looks better on us curvy girls. Also my other recommendation is finding a quality tailor this will save you so much time and energy. At this point I pretty much get everything I buy tailored and it really makes a difference.
LivinOnTheEdge1001 AMEN!! Get a tailor and everything will look superb! It’s a fraction of the total cost of clothes and I can say as a 5’10” hourglass woman I have a hell of a time getting things to fit around my hips and chest without dripping off my arms and waist. I looked dumpy in my teens while my body matured and finally my French grandmother said “darling, get a tailor and quit looking so unkempt” She started doing my adjustments and as I got older and her arthritis got wise I started using a private tailor and really, a $100 shirt costs $10 to tailor. This Kristi is nuts and reminds me of me as an awkward14/15 year old trying to find my style. She should find a stylist and clearly the comments agree.
*Under his eye* OMG I lost it LOL. I'm so sorry Kristi! I love ASOS, have been shopping there for years and I'm also size 12/14 and fun size. From what I've seen, the style of cuts you chose are in fact shapeless and are meant to be that way. They have to have structure and shape to do you justice, definitely!
I get that she picked those pieces because she liked the style but it just happens that she picked styles that really don't suit her body shape. Shapeless tshirt dresses are meant to be shapeless, unfortunately that tends to make them flattering only for a certain body type which is just not hers. She needs more structured clothing, especially at the shoulders which will balance out her waist and she needs to be shopping in the petite section because she is short. This just became a: I bought the wrong clothes and they looked wrong haul. She should try Joanie clothing! They have super awesome, well made structured size inclusive clothing, although they are vintage inspired and that might not be her vibe...
Even when shopping for your "frame" in plus size sections can be ridiculously hard to do since they very rarely ever show someone modeling that is above a size 14-16. If you're a size 20...you're still guessing. It's just a struggle because every body is literally so different.
Yes, about to type just that... You cannot say I thought it would look cute on me because it lokked cute on the model and then the model is like an xs and 6 feet and you are an xl and 5 feet ahah it doesn't work like that honey...
April I totally get what you’re saying but Asos actually has a curve and a plus size range, and they actually use plus size models. As a plus size girl myself I understand where you’re coming from, but she really only looked at the straight sizes and did not look at the plus size/curve section that actually caters to her body shape
I feel like this is less of a complaint about ASOS and more just her not knowing how to shop for her body, she could’ve shopped with ASOS curve which as a curvy girl I can confidently say fits great. Also why is she buying shapeless tee shirt dresses then complaining that they’re shapeless?
She's Pretty Peculiar different brands have different sizing. It’s well known in the industry. ASOS is a store, not just a brand. They carry different brands than just their own.
You have to keep in mind that ASOS sells many different brands including their own. When you showed pretty little thing, I was like, well... PLT is so hit and miss. Maybe try ordering only ASOS branded clothing, they're better quality.
@@allisonan1414 Nice, pull n bear and new look are two separate brands sold on ASOS, and they're okay but don't cater much to plus size. I actually really like ASOS's own clothing line 🙂
I'm a tailor, and I can tell you that 90% of the problem here is a very poor pattern development. Those clothes may look rather nice (Yet still not flattering) on very young, androginous girls, but every flaw and every bit of poor design are evident. Scale up a model is definitely not just make it bigger in every part, there are hours of work involved, other than experience and quite a lot of math. No wonder you ended up with shapeless dresses, too fit only where you don't want them, too loose where they have no reason to be (i.e. the shoulders... it's not that bones grow bigger with weight gain, if you know what I mean). The cheaper the clothes are, the more you're like to have this kind of problems. Oh, and also... those pictures? Those are most definitely the tailored version of what you receive... Lines, fabrics, finishing touches... I'm sorry but, to my eyes, none of those match with the actual clothes, and to me that's the saddest part.
@@Fucoc The fact is, it's quite easy to put together some linear, destructured, casual clothes in the standard size (I'm european, so for me a 42 or a 44, depending on the manufacturer), because at the end of the day, if your model sucks "designwise" you can throw the sample on the fitting mannequin and tweak it to make it look fine But this is cutting corners, and it will have an even worst outcome when you get to sizing it up All for the sake of production costs
What clothing sites still fail to understand after YEARS of complaints, is that the majority of us are not 5’11” and 120 pounds. We need realistic bodies of all types as a canvas for clothing.
@@pommiebears same! Close fit,tailored waist etc..we skyscraper people don't need more volume either way ;) My mum is the same height and bodytype as Kristi and she too, looks best in more tailored clothes, wrap-around items and shorter skirts. In my opinion, Kristi has great legs that she she would do well to show in tailored or short skirts and trousers,paired with a good quality wrap-around or flowy / peplum top OR an ubunbottoned shirts/cardigans with v or square neck top underneath. Cheap fabrics and fast fashion look good um..on kids and teens and in photoshopped pictures of already surgery enhanced /extremely gifted with a "current" (tiny waist,big boobs and hips) body type models..
True... but Asos does have a great curve line, so you sefinitely can shop by body type. It's the only shop where I can get stuff and not look like a giant blob
Yessss I've gotten the best pieces there and love getting it in actually 2 days..again like you said only buy one's w/ hundreds + reviews 4stars + and sizing charts...thinking about it I've never been disappointed in any clothing item from Amazon!
I order inexpensive (read: $5) shirts from amazing. Reading the reviews is key and I have NEVER had to return anything. You can just tell if something is being accurately portayed.
You need to buy from Torrid. They have such a great variety. Their pants are especially awesome and they have a nice variety of dresses. Seriously I've tried so many different online stores who have just disappointed and Torrid is always one I go back to. I've yet to return a single item from them.
Torrid isn’t my favorite. I can’t find much as far as my style goes there. I do shop with them too but only every once in a while. You should look into chic soul.
@@peetpeetpeetpeet I have two pairs of their "leggings" but they are really thick and so far no problems like that. But i haven't tried many leggings from there.
Everything from Torrid is floral print. And overpriced. I normally wear a size 12 in pants, but can not fit into anything smaller than a 16 from there.... wish it was different.
Yes, you are right. All of those things require a firm, sporty body. You could say either the body is firm or the fabrics. If both are soft it will not look good.
@@doroparker1702 and unfortunately cheap fabric is thin and full of synthetics which show every bump, lump and roll 😂 but nobody wants to spend more!! I’ve definitely learned to go with far fewer pieces, but ones of good fabrics for my body type. And the right cut, color, etc. it’s really not an easy thing to do! I always want to pull off a look that I just can’t 😂😭 whyyyy, universe? Girl probs 😂
@@doroparker1702 that’s an interesting rule of thumb... I’ve never heard that before, but it makes sense and I think it’d work 90% of the time. Imma remember that, thank you
LOL your thumbnail this is me with EVERYTHING. I'm short and a little chubby and going a size up makes everything look huge on me! I look like a kid playing dress up with my mommys clothes lmao
I agree....before I get run over by the “hate train” with your thoughts and opinions but - it should be pointed out that - almost anything will not look as flattering as it could while wearing a sports bra.
Love you Kristi but I gotta agree with some of the comments and you as well lol. I’m considered plus size and am guilty of usually not buying for my body type. I love comfy but cute, but unstructured clothes look awful on me unfortunately. I buy stuff all the time and then it just sits in my closet because I feel like it looks bad on me. Cant do online shopping at all. You should go to actual stores, try on stuff, and do a big haul of clothes you love! I’d love to see that from you.
Tbh I feel like most of the clothes you didn't like fitted you the same way the fitted the model, so the problem really is the type of dresses you ordered (and that some of them weren't petite). And for the dress from pretty little thing, it is a cheap brand and they almost only have cheap materials
Emily Norton yes! Like how some people have done Stitchfix. It would be cool to see Kristi try that. I made an account recently cause I eventually want to try them out. Once I’ve sold or given away the TON of clothes I have already lol.
A few things I’ll point out that might help is • Dresses, especially T-shirt dresses look better without leggings and jeans (you can get away with tights with some of them) • T-shirt dresses unfortunately only tend to look good on straight body types, I’m a pear shape when a healthy weight and they don’t look that good on me (they only look good on me when I’m underweight but that’s not really an option just to look fashionable is it lol) Also I think those shoes can be tightened
I flat out avoid t-shirt dresses, they always look good on models with minimal chests, but with someone with a larger bust they just hang TERRIBLY and make me look pregnant.
They don't look good on anyone...I have small tiny boobs and t- shirt dresses make me look like I just woke up in my nightgown and forgot it was on and left the house. 😭😂
I think the tshirt dresses can be cute...but they are really casual...they look cute with flip flops, just to run errands on the weekend... or try throwing a denim jacket over it?
I love how everybody only focusses on the style issue. Maybe she did not pick the things that compliment her body shape, but those shoes are a safety hazard and some of those white t-shirt dresses are basically transparent. Also those shipping issues are not a good look for ASOS themselves.
also, they don't really have good cuts per se, because it's produced cheaply. You cannot produce clothes this cheap and put a lot of effort into a good cut. So it's not entirely her fault. It's just bad quality
Victoria Howe I was going to say the same .. I was always taught to try things on with a good bra, spanks and a face of makeup - that way you’ll know what it will look like when you actually wear it
I found this so interesting since I’m from the UK and the quality of asos clothing seems so much better than what you received. Me and so many of my friends love asos. Such a shame you didn’t have a nice experience with them.
The handmaid’s tale references have me weak 😂😂 also the t shirt dress with the belt looks like a hanes shirt tied with a bathrobe belt thank you so much I was about to buy that 👌🏻
It's kinda ineffective to try on clothes with an ill-fitting sports bra. Even the few things that kinda fit didn't look very flattering bc of improper undergarments.
This video is literally youtube vs reality. girls with these try on hauls and everything is so on point. CAN'T RELAAAATEEEEEE. This is so realistic!!!! Love it. x
@@tarantulady8565 actually, you can be tall and petite. I used to think the same thing. While petite clothing is only for shorter people, being tall and petite is a thing...H&M caters to the tall petite frame
Audra Rowdygirl Oh, must be new terminology for H&M! lol...cuz petite was always “short.” Talbot’s is a store that’s been around forever & they cater to petite women. All clothing is for short women, sizes 0 to 16.🤷🏻♀️
Even though I do enjoy your clothing hauls....i love ASOS and I've been buying from them for over 6 years. Regardless of my bias opinion about them, i can not understand why you would; a) not check your measurements, in your case specifically the length of the garment when you know that you are approx. 1ft shorter than the model on the website. b) ASOS have a change of order/cancellation window of at least an hour so you could have adjusted the second order to apply the 2 day shipping once you realised the order was processed without it. c) shop for your actual body shape. The way a dress looks on the 5"9 size 0 model is not how it will look on you! Even if you were 5"9 or a size zero....because you haven't been dressed by a stylist and you aren't surrounded by studio lights..... I hope you give ASOS another chance as they are so well known around the world for providing quality clothing and accommodating to different body types and i want you to love them. 😀
Smh this is what's wrong with the unattainable expectations of what society sees as being the norm. We look at ads and sites who advertise on models and expect people to think that it looks like that. Maybe they should have a more realistic approach to advertising. It's not just this place it's pretty much everywhere. Maybe they should show all body shapes instead of just 1
@@liciaboo8539 YES, they do need to show different body sizes, etc. I hate online shopping, even shopping from places like QVC, HSN. Even though they've gotten better at showing women of different sizes, we shorties still seem to be left out...
To me the issue with the shirts are that it cuts you at the neck. You need a v neck. The issue is the same with me. You have a round face then the shirt is a round collar. Forever 21 has always worked for me. Plus they have a store. Only thing is there is no returns I believe idk. That sucks. Other than that torrid for dresses and such.
I dont like how those shirts sit on me. I feel like I'm being chocked by my shirts. I think the shirts would have worked for her if she showed a little boobie lol show and flaunt what you got.
Right?! I mean come on....the average woman is NOT the size/ height of the online models. Don’t blame the site or the clothes .....as a grown woman , you must know how to shop for your specific body type !!
@@madimadimadimadimadi yeah I'm aware. My comment was more in general aimed at knowing what suits your body type. I know the things she got are trendy right now, but in reality they look like shit on most people. I like the kibbe bodytype theory for a guideline on what suits you. Super lose, shapeless clothes and cropped cuts might be trendy but arent that flattering on everyone .and with bodytype I really just mean your frame, not weight.( how wide your shoulders are, hips, how tall. How blunt or rounded your frame is etc)
The thing about ASOS is that you need to pay attention to the brands. Some are great, some have terrible quality, some are overpriced. So it can be difficult, especially for the first time. But their return policy is amazing. I often buy two sizes and just return one of them, or both. It's free and really easy. So yeah, it can be a bit hit and miss (I'm pretty awkward shape too) BUT I've got some great pieces for great price, you should check out their outlet, they often have pretty good sales.
TheEvelynS totally agree. I love that video that shows you how the items move on the body. I usually place 2 or 3 large Asos orders a year and I find great pieces on sale.
@@bribri0786 I usually place few smaller orders every year, I only need to spend over 30€ to have the free shipping. I just bought beautiful wrap skirt and shoes that should fit but don't :D
I don't know anyone other than models who look good in t-shirt dresses. I'm a size 2 and somehow they always manage to make me look pregnant with twins.
I think it really comes down to body shape. I’m really long waisted and tall, so styles like that are actually pretty flattering on me. But if I put on anything babydoll style (cinched just under the boob), I look six months pregnant 🤷♀️
You order a shapeless T-shirt dress, you get a shapeless T-shirt dress. No surprise there. Shapeless "Normcore" clothes are in. But that belted white dress thing was really bad - sheer clingy fabric, ugh - it did not look like the model.
TBH I think you aren't shopping properly for your body type, so it's not really fair to blame ASOS. I am more plus sized and have had great experiences with ASOS always because I know what works well on my body. You picked a lot of things that had no shape and probably only would work for a very small frame
Amanda Horan nah she actually does have a small frame, she was literally swimming in half those dresses. the material was ugly and cheap and the cut was horrendous. they are inconsistent with their sizing and straight up lying about their fabric and shipping. none of this was her fault. besides, don’t you think she knows how to shop for her own body? considering she has done it her whole life? rude!
@@longfruits Lmao nothing I said was rude. You're a little oversensitive I see. She was swimming in those dresses because they are T-SHIRT DRESSES. There is no shape to them and she has a larger bust to account for. Literally everything she bought was shapeless or meant to be oversized. Newsflash: not everyone knows how to shop for their body type just because they have been buying clothes. All I said was it's not fair to blame a company for poor clothing choices. ASOS actually has a lot of high quality clothes that I and a lot of people I know wear often. NOT RUDE!
Amanda Horan it’s rude to say her clothing choices are poor when none of the issues were her fault. there are plenty of slim cut t-shirt dresses out there that don’t look like men’s walmart shirts. the sleeves were huge and it went down to her knees. that’s not something i would expect either and i’m 5’1”.
bec almost all of these people whining about her shopping specifically for her body type or telling her that her choices were her fault are literally ASOS trolls. It’s so obvious lol
You should try Torrid! They're a brand that specifically caters to sizes 10-30. My sister has a similar body shape as yours and she loves their clothes ♡
Agreed that they're pricier BUT thankfully you also seem to get what you pay for there -- which makes it worth the cost. :D (Unlike this place, Fashion Nova, etc.) Plus, with what Kristi paid from this place, their prices are pretty comparable, and Torrid does so many sales and offers free shipping (after so much spent a year), that I think she'd love them too!
@@Aly_224 Anytime you go to Torrid, make sure you use a coupon :) I never pay full price for their stuff, but at least half my closet is them. They have some good sales too (recently got 2 pairs of shoes w/1 free for example, and clearance is frequently buy one get one free, etc).
I’m a plus size and the most important thing is knowing your body shape. Not bashing but a sports bra doesn’t help the look. With a good bra you may like the looks better but again some of them may not be good fit for your frame it all depends how you feel in them.
Fun fact. If I as a European shop from an American webshop, it also takes 2 weeks to a month to get to me. Probably is the same for a UK based webshop like ASOS to the US.
Yeah exactly. Often shopping from American shops even takes longer for me unless they have a warehouse in Europe in a country that's in the European Union somewhere
Not saying it's always the case that it takes long, just saying I'm not surprised it took longer. If I order from the USA, it could take a couple of days, or 2 weeks.
No one seems very interested in personal responsibility. I have gorgeous items from ASOS! If i had money i would have bought a closet full of white maxi dresses!
@@bubblesarah no they dont. Asos has a size scale and also suggest you the right size if you type in your measurements. I never had size problems with asos products by the asos brand. When I returned items it was always due to no right fitting because this was just not the right thing for my body type in the end or I didnt like the look on me or the fabric, which is not asos fault. When you order from an online shop you have to be aware that there is the possibility that in the end the items are not flattering on you. Same can happen to you in a normal boutique. Not your colour, no flattering shape and so further.
May I suggest that you hire a stylist and spend an afternoon learning your most flattering styles? I think you'll be amazed at how easy shopping will be!
How much would a stylist for the day cost? 🤔 I desperately need one but probably can’t afford it. I’m shaped like a meatball and I loathe shopping with a passion!
Jodi Viergutz what’s wrong with that? Some people have a hard time seeing what their body looks like - for example, body dysmorphia. I have a hard time seeing what I realistically look like.
Sir Kitten Lord Of Tuna When I was a kid I hated my boobs so much (still do) I used to have my sister duck tape them til they were flat I would walk around so proud
I can't stop laughing when she said...I can't make this look good! I'll pull my pants down and show you! I don't know why, but it just cracked me up! I love Kristi so much!
Girl, if your body shape is clearly not the same as the models what are you expecting to get? Also in the description of almost every item you can see the models height
@@leopardontheprowl draped clothing will never look right on a round person, but they can't very well say if your silhouette is more beach ball then string bean don't buy this
Jessica Carlson why does eveyone say an overweight woman is curvy? Its not the case and this is coming from someone that was very overweight I would have never considered myself curvy bc I knee I was fat. Recently lost a ton of weight and now I can say I am curvy
Girlllll the. Black one you didn’t order!?? You looked HOT. I liked it with the bra showing. Like if you got like a Lacey black bralette to wear over the bra would be perfect. ❤️
You should consider watching Sarah Rae Vargas' clothing review videos. You can see the style of clothes offered as well as the sizing. Her videos are really good
Kristi I adore you- girl why did you not shop in the petite section?! Other then the t shirt dress - which you established doesn’t fit ur body type- you liked the dress u got n the petite section- maybe if you try ASOS again you can try the petite section? Don’t give up yet!!
Girl I love you, but knowing how to dress for your body type is your greatest power. I’m a size 12, curvy with an hourglass shape. So “oversized” “t-shirt” fits aren’t going to work no matter what size. I look awful in them. Try something more structured with a peplum or an A-line, that’s why that black dress your keeping looked great! I think you look great with a boyfriend fit top and a tighter pant or skirt. I’m a personal stylist and I find once people can dress their body type, shopping becomes so much easier. Love you 💕
Onion Face I have a pretty true hourglass figure and I find that whenever I don’t define my waist I look bigger than I am. Because then whatever I get has to be as big as my hips to fit and my hips are the largest part of my body. But everybody is different!
I’ve used ASOS for the longest time and they’ve always delivered well. Tried the 2 day shipping for an urgent shoot and they totally delivered. And I live in freakin Singapore, Southeast Asia. It’s really strange how Long they took for ur orders
Most people aren't SHAMING her. These clothes are not for her body type!! I can't wear boxy clothes without a belt or _something_ either because I have more of an hourglass shape and I'm around 5'4. I don't buy clothes meant for tall slim girls.
Honestly, I think you just chose bad options. I mean, dress t-shirts, really? Those are of course going to look awful on someone with your body type! Kristi should do a video where she hires a personal stylist for her.
I did like the video. So this is how I look when trying on clothes ... very funny... my mother once told me, the trick to looking good in your clothes is first wear what YOU LIKE, not all fashions are made for the average woman. Most importantly, YOU WEAR THE CLOTHES THEY DONT WEAR YOU, I'm 4'11", 64yrs old and I dress in what I like everything from leathers,jeans, Harley tees, to my stevie Nick's outfits and very stunning dresses n pant suits when performing wedding ceremonies.. I get compliments often. Your adorably cute wear fun n comfortble YOULL LOOK STUNNING ALWAYS. You brightened my evening. CONGRATULATIONS, LOVE N LIGHT
Praise be😂😂😂🤣 Hoping for a part 2 once your 2nd batch comes in. Did you ever try these on with a better bra? I have a similar body type to you (Apple, but I’m a whole 9 inches taller) and if everything isn’t up where it should be lol it makes me have no waist and look super frumpy. Some of those I don’t think are salvageable due to the weird arms, but I think with a better fitting bra it might make a difference. Thanks for sharing your experience, I’ve thought about ordering but it’s so expensive and didn’t like the idea of not being able to try on first.
Girl. Shortening a hem is like a $10 alteration. If you're hard to fit, you need to get stuff altered for a perfect fit. I think you also picked a *lot* of boxy dresses designed for tall models when you're curvy and short...
Agreed! Im also 5' tall *with* a H bra cup so fitting me is dang near impossible, and i would not have been able to make it to this point in my life without knowing the benefits of alterations
If you have body proportions that are normal in society, you shouldn't HAVE to alter every freaking piece of clothing to get something that fits. This is NOT "her" problem. This is a fashion industry problem that thinks that people with actual waists and real body shapes don't deserve to look nice too.
@@Namron9797 um, no. Im short and chesty and i dont blame the fashion industry for me not being able to find great fitting clothes nor do i blame myself. Stores need to make a turn over so they design clothes based off the average shape of women based off the size they are making. I am 4-6" shorter than average and my chest is very large in proportion to my band size. Fast fashion clothes are designed to fit an array of shape differences within one "size" of clothes but they are not designed to fit way outside the norm because there would be no turn over and profit for them. Do you expect fashion designers to able to make clothes to fit every single body type be it apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle, short, tall all at the same time? How in anyones world is that feasible? If you want clothes to fit you perfectly, and to your taste, you alter.
@@caseycantrell3836 ...$30-50 for dresses is not expensive, it's fast fashion. And even if they were 10 times that price, it's still perfectly normal to need to alter them, especially for length when you're very short.
No offense Kristi because you’re perfect the way you are but you’re comparing how they look on your body to a model who is much taller with completely different body type. All the products you got look like how they’re pictured. Of course they’re not going to look the same on you as they do in the photos. The dresses you bought are JUST as shapeless on the models they’re just in smaller sizes so they look more fitted.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. The t-shirt dress and the "handmaid" blouse are just as shapeless and unflattering on the model, but the girls are so thin that it kind of hides how terrible the clothes are fitting. This is a clear example of WHY designers prefer to model their clothes on 6ft tall size 00 runway models -- you're basically seeing the least amount of fabric used to make that piece, hung from someone with no shapes of their own to disrupt the clothes. The girl flatters the clothes, not the other way around. And I say this as a size 8-10, 5ft woman. I struggle with this too, I hate shopping online because the model is almost never a representation of how I can expect to look wearing that item. I hated my body for years, because I couldn't quite comprehend why I would buy that exact same dress in the picture, and not look like the model (hint: I don't look like Karlie Kloss.) I love Kristi, but honestly? Considering how similar we are (short, curvy -- petite sizes 8-12ish) I'd rather see her vlog adventures in trying different boutiques, tailors, etc. to build a nice wardrobe that fits and flatters her body type. Places like ASOS are the Abercrombie of the Instagram generation, and we all know they cater to only one body type. :(
Totally agree! The cloth is not like a “scam”, I feel she picks the wrong pieces... you need to know and accept your body type and pick pieces that will look good on you not having a “model” body is fine they might wish to have a different body...
The thing I like about Asos is that in the description of the item it'll say how tall the model is and what size they're wearing. So you can estimate how long the sleeves etc are. And ofc if you pick a larger size, it will be longer. She should have sticked to the petite line.
Andrea Oleson “I hated my body for years because...” Me, too. Same size. I found the “petite” stores & found a GOOOOD & cheap seamstress to take in (or rebuild, if it was something I HAD TO HAVE😂) the stuff that wasn’t cut for short people. Being short completely screws up how normal-height stuff hangs on us sooo much. Then, add DD breasts & I look like a potato in most outfits.🤦🏻♀️
I’m going to say this because I don’t see anyone talking about it. I ship for a living and work with UPS, DHL, and the United States Postal Service.When you ship internationally you should NEVER promise anything. There is no way for a company to know what dues are going to be needed on the other end, and how fast it will clear customs. If you are a buyer do not wait till last minute to buy anything internationally, there is always a chance it could take weeks or even a month or two depending on location and service type. The horror stories I could tell you...
A good supportive bra with a nice empire waist or lightweight cropped jacket to draw in her smallest part which looks to be right under her boobs since she is a tomato would do wonders.
Brimadawna the tomato body shape. Tomato, apple, circle, round..... this shape almost always tends to have leaner limbs and carry the most starting at the shoulders or chest all the way down to the waist. So she can technically wear a shirt dress and most of the other clothes. but she needs to shape everything else accordingly. Like her shoulders/chest area (hence a really good supportive bra recommendation) and create a waistline.
why are you expecting an oversized baggy tshirt to have shape? you are short; you should expect things to be longer if they are fitting well on a 6 ft model
Ok....THE MOST relatable video you have EVER posted. I literally feel like an ugly giant when trying on clothes from online clothing companies. It's just NEVER worked out for me. Sorry for all the caps...but I just feel you SO.HARD.
Flor Avila no she didn't. She missed the mark so badly. I'm not hating I think she's gorgeous and so entertaining but these clothes would barely be flattering on anyone
Bahahaaaaa!! You had me rolling 😂 To hell with all these comments. I am a size 2 and I have ordered plenty of clothes from online stores that look awesome on the model and ridiculous on me. Keep in mind that those photos are staged and they often clamp dresses in the back to give it shape, etc. You rock! Love your confidence and humor 🧡
Actually, most items not only appear in photos, but there's a video version of the model walking and twirling in them. So I wouldn't call them out for using clamps, sometimes they just use the same models with the same body types to show you most of their item. They don't really need to be dealing with clamps lol, it's just an easier job that way... nobody got time fo dat
Theres obviously a huge difference between the International shipping/processes vs the UK site cos I have the next day delivery pass and order from ASOS several times per month and they're always here. Your experience sounds very much like the times I've ordered from US sites to the UK! It will say one shipping estimate of a few days then take 2 weeks to be despatched!!! 🙄🙄
ASOS typically is decent with shipping in the US (though obviously not as good as the UK) but there is something going on right now because recently I tried to place an order and all of a sudden they’re having delivery delays and the two day shipping is not actually two days - which is definitely annoying because I always use ASOS for last minute needs.
In my experience (at least in the UK) petite clothing is for anyone 5'3 and under. So at 5'0 I would definitely go with petite over regular length, which is gonna be too long on the arms and the length. I have had pretty good experiences with Asos Curve, although I don't trust their size predictor thingy.
Katerina Dyrda yeah but the sizing/ style didn’t work for her? She even bought a dress from petite and just got the larger size. ASOS is super specific. They have a short line, tall line, petite line, normal line, curvy line, plus size line, pregnancy line, etc. so ASOS tailors their clothes for each size and shape!
ASOS jeans are my life, I only have one pair but I need more lol. I'm her height pretty much and curvy so I get a mix of normal, petite and curve stuff. I have a Tee shirt dress from ASOS and it fits fine, finishes at the mid-thigh length, add a belt, and some converse and I'm good to go. The curve section for me is slightly big though, but it starts at my bigger size which is good
Asos has NEVER failed me. I’ve been shopping there for 11/12years. People really need to shop for their body. You will drive yourself crazy comparing yourself with the models.
Okay but I think this is less of a sizing matter and more of a "i bought the wrong clothes for my body type" because girl those dresses would only look good on like "fashion model" body types. A t shirt dress isn't flattering on a whooooooole lot of people, I'm a size 8 and I know for a fact I would've also hated the way those would've looked on me. Maybe future vid idea: I buy clothes according to my body type ? edit: not saying thats the case for everything you bought Im sure there were other issues but just an idea
I actually really appreciate you showing the model photo vs. reality. SOOOOOO many women have this problem when shopping online. It's so hard to compare what something would look like when the models are almost six foot and size 0.
TheBlushedMama Hell, even if they show a plus size model wearing them, they’re all 5’10” and have any bumps or rolls insanely smoothed out. Most sites, unless you’re thin or wearing 50 layers of shape wear, will never be a realistic comparison. It’s so annoying.
So sorry but that white button up dress looks like something a Victorian child would be buried in.
Lmaoooo
LMFAO OMG
Aimee Rhian 🤣👌🏼
spot on
🤣
What about a video where you let subscribers pick some clothes for you? Some of us have similar body types and might be able to suggest things you wouldn’t think of!
That is such a cool idea!
Yeasssssssss let us help you. So much fun it will be so much fun.
I love this idea! Asos has great stuff - you just gotta find the stuff that will flatter your bod.
I would love this considering I’m also a body type as Hera
Finally someone says something useful in the comments
All these clothes are meant for flat chested, petite, tall, women. That’s an automatic “no” when shopping for me who has the exact opposite body type
Petite and tall is an oxy moron. Petite in clothes is for small women, not tall and thin.
Not really. I am skinny and about 1.68m tall and almost none of the small sizes fit me. They're all too big.
June 06 Depends on where you live and where you shop. The clothes in this video weren’t made for her body type. Most clothes in America would fit her with ease, but ASOS in particular has a plus size section for what is actually average here and their normal line is made for thinner, taller women
yeah im pretty thin, but even i wouldnt buy clothes like this bc im not tall or flat enough to pull them off, these are made for a very specific, model-esque body type i think.
June 06 1.68m is not tall..
The t-shirt dresses are supposed to look baggy and shapeless
it doesn't even look good on the model.
@@unprocessed_life i think it looks good, i love that style
T shirt dresses don’t have shape. I stay away from them as a thicker lady 🙅🏼♀️
as a thicker lady i've found some super cute t-shirt dresses at forever 21. but i have a big booty so that could be the saving grace lol
You can always throw a belt on, that's how I use them as a plus size woman.
I'm a skinny person and they make me look like a box. Yeah, they really aren't flattering on anybody including the models tbh.
She probably needs a smaller size, low key
She really did pick a bunch of naturally unflattering things and then not understand how they fit so boxy lol
Shop for YOUR body, never the models!!! Shopping exclusively based on how the clothing looks on the models body is a surefire way to get dissapointed. Always have your bodytype and height in mind! I know it can be hard to visualize in your head when it's an online store, but try to form your ideas of what will look good on you based on clothing you already have at home that you really like and think flatters your body. It's not asos fault that you are not good at picking out clothing for your body, and that's absolutely not meant to come off as rude but you cant blame the site for your own decisions. The shipping aspect is bad though and definitely something you should enquire about, I've never had asos be that late on an order but it happens on all sites sometimes unfortunaly.
Right?? When ordering online, a person always has to think about how something will look like on their body, not the model. Just because you like the way it looks on the model doesn't mean it will work on your body. Case closed
Yes!!
So true. 👍🏽
Lots of people have already pointed out that you bought clothing not made for your body type, but I'd also like to say some of these did not look nearly as bad on you as you thought they did!!
Totally agree, actually, my favorites were 2, 4, & 7 (which she hated), they were just too big for her. I bet if she'd try them again in a smaller size she'd like them.
Agreed. Most of the t-shirt dresses would have worked for her with a belt around the waist.
@@Mickeystwin33 definitely! And maybe with some cute tights or leggings
I thought most of the dresses picked were ugly in general, I don't think they looked flattering on the models either.
Right lol she ordered frumpy baggy dress and then is shocked when their frumpy and baggy lol
They looked good on the girls lol that’s their job tho- have a body that fits everything
That’s one of my rules, if it doesn’t look flattering on the models then it mostly likely 1000% won’t look good on me 😭
PRAISE BE! I lost it, omg. Blessed be the fruit.
Randa Welker Yesssss! I lost my shit 😂
Fucking Same I reflexively said MAY THE LORD OPEN😂😂
May the Lord open. 💀😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 too much, it's absolutely hilarious.
I died at May the Lord open 🤣
We girls who have curves need structure or detailing in our clothes .. shapeless t shirt dresses are for people who have linear bodies. That’s why the asymmetrical dress looks good on you
Exactly. I don't feel like this is false advertising on Asos' part. All of them look similar to model picture. Flouncy shapeless shirt dress aren't my favorite silhouette on curvier/larger bodies.
I agree 100 % I tell folks all the time to go check out eShakti web site they have custom made clothes . www.eshakti.com To me she looks like she has a apple shape body she need clothes to snatch her waist in and something shorter to show her legs off. Most apple shapes have no waist but thinner legs .. Got to work with what you got . Work them legs girl ..lol
I agree. I'm a firm believer that anyone can wear anything they like and don't deserve to be judged for it but at the same time if you're looking at a model that is a totally different shape to you and asking why it looks different when you wear it, that's not the brand's fault. You could argue that they should have pictures modelling every item on different body types, but that's a lot of money they're expected to spend on an item that won't sell much because it doesn't look right. I LOVE the look of tshirt dresses and really baggy things on models but I'm super curvy. I know it will not look the way I want it to, so I just don't buy it. Just like I won't look at dresses in bright colours that are super stretchy, close fitting fabric. That's gonna make me look more lumpy than a camel. Skater dresses though? I rock a good skater dress. I don't believe people HAVE to dress for their body types, that's a load of shit. I also don't believe in blaming companies for you buying things you know won't fit the way you want them to.
I do agree. I have a similar body type to Kristi and I always buy structured dresses. T-shirt dresses do not work on top and mid heavy body types.
Skater dresses would look nice on her.
Amen. She seems to have a very good grasp on why things don't look flattering for her height and shape but made a lot of assumptions saying "I thought this would be cute".

Heltinde HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I DIED
That’s taking me out lol
Same😂😂😂
I really hope i don’t come off like a c u next Tuesday but we have the same body type and when you shop online you basically have to completely ignore what it looks like on the model and be objective about how the silhouette will translate to your figure. I have to mentally add several sizes to the model and this helps me to prevent myself going through the hassle i used to of always returning stuff. I think it’s so easy to get caught up in how cute it looks on the model but i always think “if I saw that in a store on a hanger, would i be interested in it or do i literally only want it because it’s been styled for a shoot with a size 4 model”
I *am* a size 4, and 90% of the time things that look cute on models look not-so-cute on me. Maybe me being short throws off the proportions, but even buying petite-size is a crapshoot when it comes to ordering online.
I think if your body is above or below average in terms of weight or height, it's easier to either get exact measurements (and pray the site is accurate with THEIR measurements), or just go to an actual store.
As an example, I ordered a pair of jeans online, they fit perfectly. Ordered the same brand and style, but in a different color, and they didn't fit at all. Had the same thing happen with shirts! Same brand/style, different colors, different fits. I know online shopping is convenient, but it's also always a gamble.
No matter size or shape you should consider your OWN figure. Good points ladies.
Yes, as someone who is 5’8 and 125lbs, clothes N E V E R look the same on me as the model. Even those sights that tell you the model’s height and weight. I just think a lot of sites alter clothing to fit the model and then send you the base version before alterations
Hey Kristi I don’t think it’s ASOS fault but your choices. I think you should start doing research on what good for your body type. I used to have the same issue as I have an hourglass figure. I would see these models that were sticks were these cute dresses and then I would try it on and I couldn’t get the dress passed my ass and when I would get the right size it would be too big at the busy area. I realized that straight clothing such as jeans pants and dresses just weren’t for my body type. So I recommend that you do some research on clothes that will later your body type on Pinterest and then cater your selects around that. Also I recommend shopping at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. I know that these places are more expensive but you can find quality clothes. I find that when you have quality material (not polyesters and polyester derivatives) and looks better on us curvy girls. Also my other recommendation is finding a quality tailor this will save you so much time and energy. At this point I pretty much get everything I buy tailored and it really makes a difference.
LivinOnTheEdge1001 AMEN!! Get a tailor and everything will look superb! It’s a fraction of the total cost of clothes and I can say as a 5’10” hourglass woman I have a hell of a time getting things to fit around my hips and chest without dripping off my arms and waist.
I looked dumpy in my teens while my body matured and finally my French grandmother said “darling, get a tailor and quit looking so unkempt”
She started doing my adjustments and as I got older and her arthritis got wise I started using a private tailor and really, a $100 shirt costs $10 to tailor.
This Kristi is nuts and reminds me of me as an awkward14/15 year old trying to find my style.
She should find a stylist and clearly the comments agree.
*Under his eye* OMG I lost it LOL.
I'm so sorry Kristi! I love ASOS, have been shopping there for years and I'm also size 12/14 and fun size.
From what I've seen, the style of cuts you chose are in fact shapeless and are meant to be that way.
They have to have structure and shape to do you justice, definitely!
I get that she picked those pieces because she liked the style but it just happens that she picked styles that really don't suit her body shape. Shapeless tshirt dresses are meant to be shapeless, unfortunately that tends to make them flattering only for a certain body type which is just not hers. She needs more structured clothing, especially at the shoulders which will balance out her waist and she needs to be shopping in the petite section because she is short. This just became a: I bought the wrong clothes and they looked wrong haul. She should try Joanie clothing! They have super awesome, well made structured size inclusive clothing, although they are vintage inspired and that might not be her vibe...
The Handmaid’s Tale references had me rolling 😂 “praise be” “under his eye” “blessed be the fruit, may the lord open” LOL
angel every time I heard it I couldn’t stop laughing bc it truly looked like something they would wear but longer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shop for your body frame not a model's frame. Not the same obviously.
exactly
Even when shopping for your "frame" in plus size sections can be ridiculously hard to do since they very rarely ever show someone modeling that is above a size 14-16. If you're a size 20...you're still guessing. It's just a struggle because every body is literally so different.
Yes, about to type just that... You cannot say I thought it would look cute on me because it lokked cute on the model and then the model is like an xs and 6 feet and you are an xl and 5 feet ahah it doesn't work like that honey...
April I totally get what you’re saying but Asos actually has a curve and a plus size range, and they actually use plus size models. As a plus size girl myself I understand where you’re coming from, but she really only looked at the straight sizes and did not look at the plus size/curve section that actually caters to her body shape
i'm cracking up at the round girl buying all draped clothing and complaining it doesn't look right xD
I feel like this is less of a complaint about ASOS and more just her not knowing how to shop for her body, she could’ve shopped with ASOS curve which as a curvy girl I can confidently say fits great. Also why is she buying shapeless tee shirt dresses then complaining that they’re shapeless?
eeexactly! as a stylist, a shapeless t-shirt dress is the least flattering thing for curvier girls..
Agreed. Also, I've shopped ASOS curve for years and have had zero issues. The cuts are way different than the straight size line.
luna Prior completely agree ASOS is amazing for clothes (especially the asos own brand for sizing) and delivery etc
She's Pretty Peculiar different brands have different sizing. It’s well known in the industry. ASOS is a store, not just a brand. They carry different brands than just their own.
I completely agree. If it looks like a potato sack in the advert photo on a slender model… it’s gonna look like a potato sack on everyone else.
You have to keep in mind that ASOS sells many different brands including their own. When you showed pretty little thing, I was like, well... PLT is so hit and miss. Maybe try ordering only ASOS branded clothing, they're better quality.
Colleen Symons I like ASOS new look they never let me down also ASOS pull and bear
@@allisonan1414 Nice, pull n bear and new look are two separate brands sold on ASOS, and they're okay but don't cater much to plus size. I actually really like ASOS's own clothing line 🙂
I'm a tailor, and I can tell you that 90% of the problem here is a very poor pattern development.
Those clothes may look rather nice (Yet still not flattering) on very young, androginous girls, but every flaw and every bit of poor design are evident.
Scale up a model is definitely not just make it bigger in every part, there are hours of work involved, other than experience and quite a lot of math.
No wonder you ended up with shapeless dresses, too fit only where you don't want them, too loose where they have no reason to be (i.e. the shoulders... it's not that bones grow bigger with weight gain, if you know what I mean).
The cheaper the clothes are, the more you're like to have this kind of problems.
Oh, and also... those pictures?
Those are most definitely the tailored version of what you receive... Lines, fabrics, finishing touches... I'm sorry but, to my eyes, none of those match with the actual clothes, and to me that's the saddest part.
Yep! I though the same! I am not a tailor, just a hobby sewer, and poor pattern development in fast fashion is the real issue amongst many issues.
@@Fucoc
The fact is, it's quite easy to put together some linear, destructured, casual clothes in the standard size (I'm european, so for me a 42 or a 44, depending on the manufacturer), because at the end of the day, if your model sucks "designwise" you can throw the sample on the fitting mannequin and tweak it to make it look fine
But this is cutting corners, and it will have an even worst outcome when you get to sizing it up
All for the sake of production costs
The fabrics look cheap. You might try a flippy skirt style.
Which stores do you recommend instead? Ones that are not crazy expensive but that are well made? Thanks
Pretty much any advertised photo of clothing on a model will be pinned and clipped in ways that the camera doesn't see to look more flattering.
Girl!!! When you said "Praise Be", I literally LOL'd!!
Ashley Crutchfield same
Me too 🤣
HahaHAHA! “Flangle-flangle shoes” & “ it flickles off your foot!” Your word choice(that I can’t spell if I tried) is priceless!
Every one of the t-shirt dresses is just as shapeless and frumpy on the model. That's exactly what a t-shirt dress is...
What clothing sites still fail to understand after YEARS of complaints, is that the majority of us are not 5’11” and 120 pounds. We need realistic bodies of all types as a canvas for clothing.
agreed. unfortunately if we keep buying from them, they won't change a thing.
Well I'm 6'1 and 55kg and most of the stuff makes me look like either prepubescent boy or eastern block swimmer after 11 steroid cycles.
Margo D EXACTLY! I’m 6ft and really slim....I don’t look good in this sort of stuff. I look best in tailored stuff, tbh.
@@pommiebears same! Close fit,tailored waist etc..we skyscraper people don't need more volume either way ;) My mum is the same height and bodytype as Kristi and she too, looks best in more tailored clothes, wrap-around items and shorter skirts. In my opinion, Kristi has great legs that she she would do well to show in tailored or short skirts and trousers,paired with a good quality wrap-around or flowy / peplum top OR an ubunbottoned shirts/cardigans with v or square neck top underneath. Cheap fabrics and fast fashion look good um..on kids and teens and in photoshopped pictures of already surgery enhanced /extremely gifted with a "current" (tiny waist,big boobs and hips) body type models..
True... but Asos does have a great curve line, so you sefinitely can shop by body type. It's the only shop where I can get stuff and not look like a giant blob
Have you ever ordered clothes from Amazon? I have to read reviews for sizing decisions, but I love it! Maybe an Amazon haul next?!
Yessss I've gotten the best pieces there and love getting it in actually 2 days..again like you said only buy one's w/ hundreds + reviews 4stars + and sizing charts...thinking about it I've never been disappointed in any clothing item from Amazon!
I’ve gotten some of my most favorite pieces and my most hated pieces from amazon. I think an amazon haul would be awesome
I order inexpensive (read: $5) shirts from amazing. Reading the reviews is key and I have NEVER had to return anything. You can just tell if something is being accurately portayed.
Yes! Never had a problem with ordering clothes from Amazon! 💖
Kristi, if you see this, you and I have the same sort of body (Im a 10 and in some things a 12).
You need to buy from Torrid. They have such a great variety. Their pants are especially awesome and they have a nice variety of dresses. Seriously I've tried so many different online stores who have just disappointed and Torrid is always one I go back to. I've yet to return a single item from them.
Crysanianight their leggings wear away between the legs super fast tho
Torrid isn’t my favorite. I can’t find much as far as my style goes there. I do shop with them too but only every once in a while. You should look into chic soul.
@@peetpeetpeetpeet I have two pairs of their "leggings" but they are really thick and so far no problems like that. But i haven't tried many leggings from there.
Everything from Torrid is floral print. And overpriced. I normally wear a size 12 in pants, but can not fit into anything smaller than a 16 from there.... wish it was different.
@@amandamehrer1472 I have quite a few pairs of jeans and or capris and I just love them. So comfortable. I will check out chic soul though. Thanks ;)
I feel like everything that was ordered I could have told you wouldn’t be flattering
*Her wearing a T-Shirt Dress* : It Looks Like a big T-Shirt!!"
Well yes, it actually is.
Yes, you are right. All of those things require a firm, sporty body.
You could say either the body is firm or the fabrics.
If both are soft it will not look good.
@@doroparker1702 and unfortunately cheap fabric is thin and full of synthetics which show every bump, lump and roll 😂 but nobody wants to spend more!!
I’ve definitely learned to go with far fewer pieces, but ones of good fabrics for my body type. And the right cut, color, etc. it’s really not an easy thing to do! I always want to pull off a look that I just can’t 😂😭 whyyyy, universe? Girl probs 😂
@@doroparker1702 that’s an interesting rule of thumb... I’ve never heard that before, but it makes sense and I think it’d work 90% of the time. Imma remember that, thank you
Yeah exactly it doesn’t even look good on the model.
LOL your thumbnail this is me with EVERYTHING. I'm short and a little chubby and going a size up makes everything look huge on me! I look like a kid playing dress up with my mommys clothes lmao
Ivory Cherry Dead. 🤣
I agree....before I get run over by the “hate train” with your thoughts and opinions but - it should be pointed out that - almost anything will not look as flattering as it could while wearing a sports bra.
Love you Kristi but I gotta agree with some of the comments and you as well lol. I’m considered plus size and am guilty of usually not buying for my body type. I love comfy but cute, but unstructured clothes look awful on me unfortunately. I buy stuff all the time and then it just sits in my closet because I feel like it looks bad on me. Cant do online shopping at all. You should go to actual stores, try on stuff, and do a big haul of clothes you love! I’d love to see that from you.
“This one is a size 14, it’s 29 dollars and it’s f-ing ugly.” I LOVE your descriptions! I’d be friends with you in real life!!
Lmao same
The black business chic dress and black romper you didn’t order look SO GOOD on you!! 🔥🔥🔥
Tbh I feel like most of the clothes you didn't like fitted you the same way the fitted the model, so the problem really is the type of dresses you ordered (and that some of them weren't petite). And for the dress from pretty little thing, it is a cheap brand and they almost only have cheap materials
I think it would be a really interesting video if you had a professional stylist pick out some clothes for you!
Emily Norton yes! Like how some people have done Stitchfix. It would be cool to see Kristi try that. I made an account recently cause I eventually want to try them out. Once I’ve sold or given away the TON of clothes I have already lol.
Emily Norton This!!!
A few things I’ll point out that might help is
• Dresses, especially T-shirt dresses look better without leggings and jeans (you can get away with tights with some of them)
• T-shirt dresses unfortunately only tend to look good on straight body types, I’m a pear shape when a healthy weight and they don’t look that good on me (they only look good on me when I’m underweight but that’s not really an option just to look fashionable is it lol)
Also I think those shoes can be tightened
I flat out avoid t-shirt dresses, they always look good on models with minimal chests, but with someone with a larger bust they just hang TERRIBLY and make me look pregnant.
They don't look good on anyone...I have small tiny boobs and t- shirt dresses make me look like I just woke up in my nightgown and forgot it was on and left the house. 😭😂
YES
I think the tshirt dresses can be cute...but they are really casual...they look cute with flip flops, just to run errands on the weekend... or try throwing a denim jacket over it?
Yup! 🤣😆
Most body types don’t work with t shirt dresses. I really don’t know what she expected when she ordered that
I love how everybody only focusses on the style issue. Maybe she did not pick the things that compliment her body shape, but those shoes are a safety hazard and some of those white t-shirt dresses are basically transparent.
Also those shipping issues are not a good look for ASOS themselves.
laberblatt well ofc she didn’t. But she has learned now
also, they don't really have good cuts per se, because it's produced cheaply. You cannot produce clothes this cheap and put a lot of effort into a good cut. So it's not entirely her fault. It's just bad quality
okay but also, you tried these on with a sports bra? aka the most effective way to look unflattering in ANYTHING
Victoria Howe I was going to say the same .. I was always taught to try things on with a good bra, spanks and a face of makeup - that way you’ll know what it will look like when you actually wear it
Victoria Howe she's not very smart. Let's not forget her whole remodeling fiasco
I found this so interesting since I’m from the UK and the quality of asos clothing seems so much better than what you received. Me and so many of my friends love asos. Such a shame you didn’t have a nice experience with them.
Same, I pretty much exclusively shop at asos and find loads of stuff to flatter me at size 16-18. Do they not have asos curve in the States?
Same for Germany and the Netherlands. I feel like they are making really good clothes...
lucy alexander same from France, I was disappointed in a cardigan but it was still okay ? Never had a problem with asos on shipping
@@rosiescott1531 They do not have ASOS here in the US. But I used to order from them (a few years ago) and I was always happy with my order.
lucy alexander I’m from Nigeria and same the quality is way better I only ever online shop from there
The handmaid’s tale references have me weak 😂😂 also the t shirt dress with the belt looks like a hanes shirt tied with a bathrobe belt thank you so much I was about to buy that 👌🏻
It's kinda ineffective to try on clothes with an ill-fitting sports bra. Even the few things that kinda fit didn't look very flattering bc of improper undergarments.
Couldn't agree more!!
Tim Gunn has left the chat
This drove me crazy
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I was ranting at my computer "Put on a good bra!!! Do it now!!!"
Truth! I was just about to post this comment.
those tshirt dresses legit look like a walmart xxxl $4.95 tshirt
This is seriously my favorite video on the internet. I come back and watch it at least once a season when I’m down 😂
I love this video so bad
This video is literally youtube vs reality. girls with these try on hauls and everything is so on point. CAN'T RELAAAATEEEEEE. This is so realistic!!!! Love it. x
This.☝️🙄
Same... I'm tall and petite... apparently, that means I want my under boobs and butt crack to show 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤣🤣
Audra Rowdygirl Petite means short, 5’3” & under. 😊
@@tarantulady8565 actually, you can be tall and petite. I used to think the same thing. While petite clothing is only for shorter people, being tall and petite is a thing...H&M caters to the tall petite frame
Audra Rowdygirl Oh, must be new terminology for H&M! lol...cuz petite was always “short.” Talbot’s is a store that’s been around forever & they cater to petite women. All clothing is for short women, sizes 0 to 16.🤷🏻♀️
Even though I do enjoy your clothing hauls....i love ASOS and I've been buying from them for over 6 years. Regardless of my bias opinion about them, i can not understand why you would;
a) not check your measurements, in your case specifically the length of the garment when you know that you are approx. 1ft shorter than the model on the website.
b) ASOS have a change of order/cancellation window of at least an hour so you could have adjusted the second order to apply the 2 day shipping once you realised the order was processed without it.
c) shop for your actual body shape. The way a dress looks on the 5"9 size 0 model is not how it will look on you! Even if you were 5"9 or a size zero....because you haven't been dressed by a stylist and you aren't surrounded by studio lights.....
I hope you give ASOS another chance as they are so well known around the world for providing quality clothing and accommodating to different body types and i want you to love them. 😀
Smh this is what's wrong with the unattainable expectations of what society sees as being the norm. We look at ads and sites who advertise on models and expect people to think that it looks like that. Maybe they should have a more realistic approach to advertising. It's not just this place it's pretty much everywhere. Maybe they should show all body shapes instead of just 1
@@liciaboo8539 YES, they do need to show different body sizes, etc. I hate online shopping, even shopping from places like QVC, HSN. Even though they've gotten better at showing women of different sizes, we shorties still seem to be left out...
To me the issue with the shirts are that it cuts you at the neck. You need a v neck. The issue is the same with me. You have a round face then the shirt is a round collar. Forever 21 has always worked for me. Plus they have a store. Only thing is there is no returns I believe idk. That sucks. Other than that torrid for dresses and such.
I completely agree. v necks would be great on you!
or a scoop neck
I was thinking the same thing!! I cut all my tshirts just for that reason!
I dont like how those shirts sit on me. I feel like I'm being chocked by my shirts. I think the shirts would have worked for her if she showed a little boobie lol show and flaunt what you got.
I feel like a lot of these “fails” were because you aren’t choosing the right clothes for your body type.
I was thinking that too.
Right?! I mean come on....the average woman is NOT the size/ height of the online models. Don’t blame the site or the clothes .....as a grown woman , you must know how to shop for your specific body type !!
But ASOS literally doesn’t have that much range
@@madimadimadimadimadi yeah I'm aware. My comment was more in general aimed at knowing what suits your body type. I know the things she got are trendy right now, but in reality they look like shit on most people. I like the kibbe bodytype theory for a guideline on what suits you. Super lose, shapeless clothes and cropped cuts might be trendy but arent that flattering on everyone .and with bodytype I really just mean your frame, not weight.( how wide your shoulders are, hips, how tall. How blunt or rounded your frame is etc)
The cosmic one: all the more reason to know your body type/size and shop at stores that fit accordingly.
You are right some of the stuff looks hideous however the clothes you picked out just doesn't look flattering on your bodytype.
The thing about ASOS is that you need to pay attention to the brands. Some are great, some have terrible quality, some are overpriced. So it can be difficult, especially for the first time. But their return policy is amazing. I often buy two sizes and just return one of them, or both. It's free and really easy. So yeah, it can be a bit hit and miss (I'm pretty awkward shape too) BUT I've got some great pieces for great price, you should check out their outlet, they often have pretty good sales.
The buying two size thing is such a smart thing to do I didn’t even think to do that
I always buy two sizes!!! Their return policy is so good
TheEvelynS totally agree. I love that video that shows you how the items move on the body. I usually place 2 or 3 large Asos orders a year and I find great pieces on sale.
@@bribri0786 I usually place few smaller orders every year, I only need to spend over 30€ to have the free shipping. I just bought beautiful wrap skirt and shoes that should fit but don't :D
I don't know anyone other than models who look good in t-shirt dresses. I'm a size 2 and somehow they always manage to make me look pregnant with twins.
😂
Ha! Yes never seen anyone in life able to pull them off
Yes! I was like oh no Kristi why would you order those? I don't think they look good on anybody. Just not a flattering cut.
I think it really comes down to body shape. I’m really long waisted and tall, so styles like that are actually pretty flattering on me. But if I put on anything babydoll style (cinched just under the boob), I look six months pregnant 🤷♀️
T-shirt dresses.are for small boobs. Like me LOL
You order a shapeless T-shirt dress, you get a shapeless T-shirt dress. No surprise there. Shapeless "Normcore" clothes are in.
But that belted white dress thing was really bad - sheer clingy fabric, ugh - it did not look like the model.
TBH I think you aren't shopping properly for your body type, so it's not really fair to blame ASOS. I am more plus sized and have had great experiences with ASOS always because I know what works well on my body. You picked a lot of things that had no shape and probably only would work for a very small frame
Amanda Horan I AGREE!!
Amanda Horan nah she actually does have a small frame, she was literally swimming in half those dresses. the material was ugly and cheap and the cut was horrendous. they are inconsistent with their sizing and straight up lying about their fabric and shipping. none of this was her fault. besides, don’t you think she knows how to shop for her own body? considering she has done it her whole life? rude!
@@longfruits Lmao nothing I said was rude. You're a little oversensitive I see. She was swimming in those dresses because they are T-SHIRT DRESSES. There is no shape to them and she has a larger bust to account for. Literally everything she bought was shapeless or meant to be oversized. Newsflash: not everyone knows how to shop for their body type just because they have been buying clothes. All I said was it's not fair to blame a company for poor clothing choices. ASOS actually has a lot of high quality clothes that I and a lot of people I know wear often. NOT RUDE!
Amanda Horan it’s rude to say her clothing choices are poor when none of the issues were her fault. there are plenty of slim cut t-shirt dresses out there that don’t look like men’s walmart shirts. the sleeves were huge and it went down to her knees. that’s not something i would expect either and i’m 5’1”.
bec almost all of these people whining about her shopping specifically for her body type or telling her that her choices were her fault are literally ASOS trolls. It’s so obvious lol
You should try Torrid! They're a brand that specifically caters to sizes 10-30. My sister has a similar body shape as yours and she loves their clothes ♡
Yes one of my favorite stores
Bellziee are they expensive
Bob Saget they are very expensive, but have the most well fitting clothes of any plus size store around
Agreed that they're pricier BUT thankfully you also seem to get what you pay for there -- which makes it worth the cost. :D (Unlike this place, Fashion Nova, etc.) Plus, with what Kristi paid from this place, their prices are pretty comparable, and Torrid does so many sales and offers free shipping (after so much spent a year), that I think she'd love them too!
@@Aly_224 Anytime you go to Torrid, make sure you use a coupon :) I never pay full price for their stuff, but at least half my closet is them. They have some good sales too (recently got 2 pairs of shoes w/1 free for example, and clearance is frequently buy one get one free, etc).
I’m a plus size and the most important thing is knowing your body shape. Not bashing but a sports bra doesn’t help the look. With a good bra you may like the looks better but again some of them may not be good fit for your frame it all depends how you feel in them.
Yes! Like it doesn't help your boobs aren't where they're supposed to be. It changes the look and shape of some clothes.
I'm late, but the dark t-shirt dress was so cute on her!! Like since she is short it looks cute and it would look good with glittery eyeshadow!!
Fun fact. If I as a European shop from an American webshop, it also takes 2 weeks to a month to get to me. Probably is the same for a UK based webshop like ASOS to the US.
OpheliacsLament agree 💯
Yeah exactly. Often shopping from American shops even takes longer for me unless they have a warehouse in Europe in a country that's in the European Union somewhere
I live in America and shop from Asos all the time (a lot) for years and it is supposed to be here in two days.
I once purchased a shirt from a French webshop on Christmas Eve...the item arrived from France a few days later before New Year's Eve!
Not saying it's always the case that it takes long, just saying I'm not surprised it took longer. If I order from the USA, it could take a couple of days, or 2 weeks.

None hell it's her body and the sizes are too big ALSO
Asos do have poor fitting items a lot of the time
No one seems very interested in personal responsibility. I have gorgeous items from ASOS! If i had money i would have bought a closet full of white maxi dresses!
@@bubblesarah no they dont. Asos has a size scale and also suggest you the right size if you type in your measurements. I never had size problems with asos products by the asos brand. When I returned items it was always due to no right fitting because this was just not the right thing for my body type in the end or I didnt like the look on me or the fabric, which is not asos fault. When you order from an online shop you have to be aware that there is the possibility that in the end the items are not flattering on you. Same can happen to you in a normal boutique. Not your colour, no flattering shape and so further.
Mommy Dearest h us
All I have to say is Torrid. They're clothes fit so amazing.
May I suggest that you hire a stylist and spend an afternoon learning your most flattering styles? I think you'll be amazed at how easy shopping will be!
doppelganger_ nails I would love to see a video of this process!
I don’t know... if people start having to hire stylists we’re all fucked 🤣🤣🤣
How much would a stylist for the day cost? 🤔 I desperately need one but probably can’t afford it. I’m shaped like a meatball and I loathe shopping with a passion!
Jodi Viergutz what’s wrong with that? Some people have a hard time seeing what their body looks like - for example, body dysmorphia. I have a hard time seeing what I realistically look like.
@Ali so true. When I was big, I thought I was an hourglass. I wasn't! I was a tube of Jimmy Dean sausage! But I literally couldn't see my real shape.

Love you girl but you NEED to go get professionally bra fitted. A good bra makes all the difference
This is exactly what I thought... So many of those dresses would have looked so much better without a uniboob (sports bra).
I was thinking the same thing.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 was thinking the same thing I never try on clothes without a good bra on
When you're flat af and don't have to worry about the correct bra 😎

You should consider watching Sarah Rae Vargas' clothing review videos. You can see the style of clothes offered as well as the sizing. Her videos are really good
Alyssa Tyler I was gonna say this!
Love her!!
Yaaasss love her
Kristi I adore you- girl why did you not shop in the petite section?! Other then the t shirt dress - which you established doesn’t fit ur body type- you liked the dress u got n the petite section- maybe if you try ASOS again you can try the petite section? Don’t give up yet!!
Girl I love you, but knowing how to dress for your body type is your greatest power. I’m a size 12, curvy with an hourglass shape. So “oversized” “t-shirt” fits aren’t going to work no matter what size. I look awful in them. Try something more structured with a peplum or an A-line, that’s why that black dress your keeping looked great! I think you look great with a boyfriend fit top and a tighter pant or skirt. I’m a personal stylist and I find once people can dress their body type, shopping becomes so much easier. Love you 💕
👐
Onion Face I have a pretty true hourglass figure and I find that whenever I don’t define my waist I look bigger than I am. Because then whatever I get has to be as big as my hips to fit and my hips are the largest part of my body. But everybody is different!
Elizabeth Greeson I would totally have to agree. I am an hourglass shape as well and if my waist isn’t defined I look huge.
I agree, she needs to show off those legs
Also everyone can be stylish with the right seamstress. They make magic happen.
I’ve used ASOS for the longest time and they’ve always delivered well. Tried the 2 day shipping for an urgent shoot and they totally delivered. And I live in freakin Singapore, Southeast Asia. It’s really strange how Long they took for ur orders
Most people aren't SHAMING her. These clothes are not for her body type!! I can't wear boxy clothes without a belt or _something_ either because I have more of an hourglass shape and I'm around 5'4. I don't buy clothes meant for tall slim girls.
... SAAAME!!! I can’t wear those either, it makes me look shapeless
... it’s common sense!! Buy what works for your body type. That first white Shirt Dress looked ridiculous,
“Praise be, I feel like a handmaid” 😂😂😂😂
Got me too
Honestly, I think you just chose bad options. I mean, dress t-shirts, really? Those are of course going to look awful on someone with your body type! Kristi should do a video where she hires a personal stylist for her.
Jessica Rose Hauserman exactly !!
i was saying the exact SAME THING throughout
@Manda Lïsa YES!!! stacy london is the besttttt at showing people what works for their body type and what doesn't!
I did like the video. So this is how I look when trying on clothes ... very funny... my mother once told me, the trick to looking good in your clothes is first wear what YOU LIKE, not all fashions are made for the average woman. Most importantly, YOU WEAR THE CLOTHES THEY DONT WEAR YOU, I'm 4'11", 64yrs old and I dress in what I like everything from leathers,jeans, Harley tees, to my stevie Nick's outfits and very stunning dresses n pant suits when performing wedding ceremonies.. I get compliments often. Your adorably cute wear fun n comfortble YOULL LOOK STUNNING ALWAYS. You brightened my evening. CONGRATULATIONS, LOVE N LIGHT
I love your attitude so much! Rock on :)
It’s sad you have to say you aren’t complaining so many times in this video, when that shipping BS is COMPLETELY complain worthy #trollsarestupid
Praise be😂😂😂🤣 Hoping for a part 2 once your 2nd batch comes in. Did you ever try these on with a better bra? I have a similar body type to you (Apple, but I’m a whole 9 inches taller) and if everything isn’t up where it should be lol it makes me have no waist and look super frumpy. Some of those I don’t think are salvageable due to the weird arms, but I think with a better fitting bra it might make a difference. Thanks for sharing your experience, I’ve thought about ordering but it’s so expensive and didn’t like the idea of not being able to try on first.
I knew this was gonna be good, I just didnt know how good! I died! Every woman knows exactly how this feels. Instagram vs reality!! I love you😂😂😂
Your man taking interest in your clothing hall is the cutest!!!
But you didn't buy anything for your shape. You can't blame asos for that lol

@@Veromoi4 how was that rude? She was being honest...... and thats a quality missing in most people nowadays. You're projecting
Girl. Shortening a hem is like a $10 alteration. If you're hard to fit, you need to get stuff altered for a perfect fit.
I think you also picked a *lot* of boxy dresses designed for tall models when you're curvy and short...
Agreed! Im also 5' tall *with* a H bra cup so fitting me is dang near impossible, and i would not have been able to make it to this point in my life without knowing the benefits of alterations
If you have body proportions that are normal in society, you shouldn't HAVE to alter every freaking piece of clothing to get something that fits. This is NOT "her" problem. This is a fashion industry problem that thinks that people with actual waists and real body shapes don't deserve to look nice too.
@@Namron9797 um, no. Im short and chesty and i dont blame the fashion industry for me not being able to find great fitting clothes nor do i blame myself. Stores need to make a turn over so they design clothes based off the average shape of women based off the size they are making. I am 4-6" shorter than average and my chest is very large in proportion to my band size. Fast fashion clothes are designed to fit an array of shape differences within one "size" of clothes but they are not designed to fit way outside the norm because there would be no turn over and profit for them. Do you expect fashion designers to able to make clothes to fit every single body type be it apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle, short, tall all at the same time? How in anyones world is that feasible? If you want clothes to fit you perfectly, and to your taste, you alter.
All these clothes were in the 30-50$ range.... For that much you shouldn't have to make alterations.
@@caseycantrell3836 ...$30-50 for dresses is not expensive, it's fast fashion. And even if they were 10 times that price, it's still perfectly normal to need to alter them, especially for length when you're very short.
No offense Kristi because you’re perfect the way you are but you’re comparing how they look on your body to a model who is much taller with completely different body type. All the products you got look like how they’re pictured. Of course they’re not going to look the same on you as they do in the photos. The dresses you bought are JUST as shapeless on the models they’re just in smaller sizes so they look more fitted.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. The t-shirt dress and the "handmaid" blouse are just as shapeless and unflattering on the model, but the girls are so thin that it kind of hides how terrible the clothes are fitting. This is a clear example of WHY designers prefer to model their clothes on 6ft tall size 00 runway models -- you're basically seeing the least amount of fabric used to make that piece, hung from someone with no shapes of their own to disrupt the clothes. The girl flatters the clothes, not the other way around.
And I say this as a size 8-10, 5ft woman. I struggle with this too, I hate shopping online because the model is almost never a representation of how I can expect to look wearing that item. I hated my body for years, because I couldn't quite comprehend why I would buy that exact same dress in the picture, and not look like the model (hint: I don't look like Karlie Kloss.)
I love Kristi, but honestly? Considering how similar we are (short, curvy -- petite sizes 8-12ish) I'd rather see her vlog adventures in trying different boutiques, tailors, etc. to build a nice wardrobe that fits and flatters her body type. Places like ASOS are the Abercrombie of the Instagram generation, and we all know they cater to only one body type. :(
Totally agree! The cloth is not like a “scam”, I feel she picks the wrong pieces... you need to know and accept your body type and pick pieces that will look good on you not having a “model” body is fine they might wish to have a different body...
The thing I like about Asos is that in the description of the item it'll say how tall the model is and what size they're wearing. So you can estimate how long the sleeves etc are. And ofc if you pick a larger size, it will be longer. She should have sticked to the petite line.
Andrea Oleson “I hated my body for years because...” Me, too. Same size. I found the “petite” stores & found a GOOOOD & cheap seamstress to take in (or rebuild, if it was something I HAD TO HAVE😂) the stuff that wasn’t cut for short people. Being short completely screws up how normal-height stuff hangs on us sooo much. Then, add DD breasts & I look like a potato in most outfits.🤦🏻♀️
Yall,that sheet turned shirt/dress did NOT look like a sheet.😬😬 Thanks but no thanks...
I’m going to say this because I don’t see anyone talking about it. I ship for a living and work with UPS, DHL, and the United States Postal Service.When you ship internationally you should NEVER promise anything. There is no way for a company to know what dues are going to be needed on the other end, and how fast it will clear customs. If you are a buyer do not wait till last minute to buy anything internationally, there is always a chance it could take weeks or even a month or two depending on location and service type. The horror stories I could tell you...
I think a more uplifting bra would make a world of difference!
A good supportive bra with a nice empire waist or lightweight cropped jacket to draw in her smallest part which looks to be right under her boobs since she is a tomato would do wonders.
@@Gina-Montana a tomato. I'm sorry what?
Brimadawna the tomato body shape. Tomato, apple, circle, round..... this shape almost always tends to have leaner limbs and carry the most starting at the shoulders or chest all the way down to the waist. So she can technically wear a shirt dress and most of the other clothes. but she needs to shape everything else accordingly. Like her shoulders/chest area (hence a really good supportive bra recommendation) and create a waistline.
A proper bra that lifts up your breasts off of your body, actually make you look slimmer.
why are you expecting an oversized baggy tshirt to have shape? you are short; you should expect things to be longer if they are fitting well on a 6 ft model
I'm 5'3 and sometimes petite clothes are way too short... she can't really know how they fit. Just sayin

Bahahaaaaa!! You had me rolling 😂 To hell with all these comments. I am a size 2 and I have ordered plenty of clothes from online stores that look awesome on the model and ridiculous on me. Keep in mind that those photos are staged and they often clamp dresses in the back to give it shape, etc.
You rock! Love your confidence and humor 🧡
Actually, most items not only appear in photos, but there's a video version of the model walking and twirling in them. So I wouldn't call them out for using clamps, sometimes they just use the same models with the same body types to show you most of their item. They don't really need to be dealing with clamps lol, it's just an easier job that way... nobody got time fo dat
Theres obviously a huge difference between the International shipping/processes vs the UK site cos I have the next day delivery pass and order from ASOS several times per month and they're always here. Your experience sounds very much like the times I've ordered from US sites to the UK! It will say one shipping estimate of a few days then take 2 weeks to be despatched!!! 🙄🙄
Charlotte Holdcroft Yes same. I’m in Australia but the express shipping from ASOS is always on time but my US orders take at least 6 weeks.
ASOS typically is decent with shipping in the US (though obviously not as good as the UK) but there is something going on right now because recently I tried to place an order and all of a sudden they’re having delivery delays and the two day shipping is not actually two days - which is definitely annoying because I always use ASOS for last minute needs.
the shipping to Europe is fine as well. but with huge orders it does take a little longer, just like on other sites.
Just subbed you!
@Elizabeth D they sell A LOT of makeup now too but yes I do...
In my experience (at least in the UK) petite clothing is for anyone 5'3 and under. So at 5'0 I would definitely go with petite over regular length, which is gonna be too long on the arms and the length.
I have had pretty good experiences with Asos Curve, although I don't trust their size predictor thingy.
ASOS is my tried and true. Shop with ASOS curve !!
maybe she doesn't want to admit to herself that she needs the curvy clothes..? it's rather simple to blame everyone else and not yourself
Katerina Dyrda yeah but the sizing/ style didn’t work for her? She even bought a dress from petite and just got the larger size. ASOS is super specific. They have a short line, tall line, petite line, normal line, curvy line, plus size line, pregnancy line, etc. so ASOS tailors their clothes for each size and shape!
ASOS jeans are my life, I only have one pair but I need more lol. I'm her height pretty much and curvy so I get a mix of normal, petite and curve stuff. I have a Tee shirt dress from ASOS and it fits fine, finishes at the mid-thigh length, add a belt, and some converse and I'm good to go. The curve section for me is slightly big though, but it starts at my bigger size which is good
Asos has NEVER failed me. I’ve been shopping there for 11/12years. People really need to shop for their body. You will drive yourself crazy comparing yourself with the models.
Okay but I think this is less of a sizing matter and more of a "i bought the wrong clothes for my body type" because girl those dresses would only look good on like "fashion model" body types. A t shirt dress isn't flattering on a whooooooole lot of people, I'm a size 8 and I know for a fact I would've also hated the way those would've looked on me. Maybe future vid idea: I buy clothes according to my body type ? edit: not saying thats the case for everything you bought Im sure there were other issues but just an idea
Baby Vamp well said!!
I agree, I'm 5'1 and a size small and size 3 but I have curves and hips and those would all look horrible on me
I actually really appreciate you showing the model photo vs. reality. SOOOOOO many women have this problem when shopping online. It's so hard to compare what something would look like when the models are almost six foot and size 0.
TheBlushedMama Hell, even if they show a plus size model wearing them, they’re all 5’10” and have any bumps or rolls insanely smoothed out. Most sites, unless you’re thin or wearing 50 layers of shape wear, will never be a realistic comparison. It’s so annoying.
Thank you very much for your honesty and for all the laughs in such stressful times. I love your videos.
