Free Month of Dresses!

Hey Everyone!

I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of or tried Gwynnie Bee, but its a Clothing Subscription service for sizes 10-32. I love dresses and I need them for work but hate buying them when i'm continuously losing weight (especially with how expensive plus size dresses are!) I use them and I love them and I get complimented on the dresses all the time. When you're done wearing it you send it back in the free shipping mailer and they send you another one in a few days (but if you love it you can buy it). And every time you go down a size you just adjust the size you want!

Heres a link for a free month if you want to try it out. Let me know if you have any questions or need dress recommendations. I can tell you what i've ordered and any pros/cons.

Heres the free month link:

I am also intrigued...didn't know anyone that liked it and would recommend it. So sizes are pretty accurate?

I think its a neat idea but I went through it and there isn't enough in my size right now. Maybe after the surgery on the way down.

@@jhclikesshopping@gmail.com @@TXTinana I do use it and really like them. I belong to a networking group that meets twice a month, plus have occasional meetings in between that and especially for the networking groups 90% of the women wear dresses and I prefer to as well. If I had to buy $80 dresses from Lane Bryant to monthly stock my closet I would be broke. Plus, since i'm losing weight it makes no sense to buy an $80 dress that i'll get to use for a month. I like this because I can wear a dress a few times then send it back and get another one. Its always new and a lot of them are probably nicer than I would pick out for myself (my Lane Bryant has a really small dress selection).

As far as sizes go, it comes down to common sense about your shape. Most of them have user comments that will say if its preferable to size up or down, or if they are a certain body shape and it did/didnt work for them. I don't always listen to the comments if I love the dress, lol. But overall i've gotten a lot of compliments when I wear the stuff I get from them. And its fun to try a bunch of different dresses and not feel like I'm wasting money. Oh, also if you LOVE something there is always the option to buy and the prices range from like $20-$60. If you buy then they just send you another and you continue the subscription.

@jhclikesshopping@gmail.com @TXTinana Also, for full disclosure I have definitely disliked a few things i've gotten from them. Or I put it on and looked in the mirror and said NOPE. It took a few months to get a feel for the designers I liked the best. Some of them use specific fabrics for most of their dresses that are just too clingy on my frame. So its not perfect every single time but overall i'm really happy with it.

I love Gwynnie Bee!!! Their customer service is great and they upgraded me for 4 items for the price of 3 just for staying on past the month free trial! It's definitely easier since I'm not trying to buy new clothes as I go down in size.

@@vsgjess awesome! i'm glad to find someone who loves it too! I do the three items right now, usually one for each networking event and one extra. I got a fancier one than usual last month and I've kept it in my closet to try to find something fancy to wear it to, lol. I even got a tropical one for a tropical themed rehearsal dinner. Its SO convenient to be able to have nice dresses without actually buying them and wasting money.
