The Good.
Mini Feather Fringe Skirt, Chiffon Frill Button Through Top and Peplum Long Sleeved Cardigan with Shoulder Pads
All from City Chic
Ahh lovely, the skirt whilst possibly Minge visible is unique and cute, the top whilst it reeks of the fat-famous lily0808168 ruffle dress it is cute and sensible and it straddles several trends; The cardigan is my most lustworthy item I like the cut and how Fashion Hayley has been rocking it.
The Bad.
all from City Chic
Apparently City Chic customers in particular the ones who purchase denim have genetically stopped growing at a size 20-22, which led to so much of a financial ruin for City Chic in creating a size 24 for the abnormally sized City Chic customer it had to be removed.
Whilst it shouldn't effect me as I don't often buy denim from City Chic But it sucks because
- They offer pants up to a size 24 but not denim on their website Seriously WTF?
- They are obviously trying to be competitive with the other Youth Orientated Plus Size branding like Evans and Torrid (blogger partners, fashion parades, online promotions have you Booked Crystal Renn yet?) and yes whilst understandably behind the Big Guys with a typically more expensive product, Australian Isolation, and a limited size range, Is reducing your highest size online in denim really going to help?
- I feel sorry for fat anomalies who will not be able to purchase your jeans any more, the size 18 girls with the 24 arse and thighs who would adjust them with some crafty know how ( I myself have to buy 24-26-28 jeans and pin in the waist to accommodate my calves) and even your size 24 customers who had become quite accustomed to purchasing your jeans every few months as they wore out from being worn to death
- Every other "relevant" plus sized brand in Australia goes up to a 24 or has extended it's range to a 24
eh now I'm nit-picking but City Chic has the power to be a MAJOR brand in Australia and the world and in order to do that it has to step up it's game.
& The Ugly
Faux Fur Vest Available at City Chic
GAH! stylist must be shot immediately, then the photographer who took the photo needs to be hog-tied then the web developer who put this online to make my eyes bleed needs to be locked in a basement; and I cannot even write what I would do to the designer who dreamt up this abomination!
I have blocked the poor models eyes out to protect her dignity but I have included a link if you unlike me wish to purchase this item. Poor girl she's soo cute too and Aussie non white plus size models are few and far between, City Chic you better not have fucked up her career.

I bought the corset jeans on your bad list... still not sure about them but they are the only pair of jeans I've ever worn that make my pancake butt look curvy!
The feather fringe skirt, not so sure about. It would so much depend how you wear it.
The Jeans are gorgeous and I think you would look totally fab in them, I think the styles that they have are fabulous I think however the overall quality for the price is crap and the size range stopping at 20 or 22 is stupid and that's why they went in my Bad list for being a bad retailer
highly agreed, although they do offer a size 24 now i think but the sizes have changed so much so that now "smaller" plus size gals like myself cant buy there anymore because they have made a size xs into what used to be a medium and a medium is like a xl. It cost generally $60 to $70 just for a t shirt material top, also the last four times i have bought from their website, they have fucked up the order or only sent half, e.g the detachable overlay and not the cami. The fact that they blatently ignore emails is apauling customer service. I can't count the amount of dough i have spent on their clothing it would have to be in the tens of thousands i dont know why i bother when they dont treat you as valueable.
