What she wore - Carmakoma Review

A while back I showed my favorite items from Carmakoma , I adore their online store so much and really wanted to know how they would look on my shape.

So I browsed the stunning new stock and picked two items to slip into a less than a week later a package was at my door - now how is that for shipping!

Carmakoma designs and produces clothes for curvy women in sizes 14-24. Quoted from their facebook page 'Our style is contrasted – a mix of rock’chick coolness and feminine sweetness. The clothes are designed and produced with heartfelt attention – making the final product of high quality and a perfect mix of styles for both the ”cutting edge” fashionista and the woman with the sophisticated weekday-look' I have to say this description is pretty much spot on.

So out I went with the fantastic Michael Alesich (who is brilliant) into the heart of the city and road tested the fantastic designs.

I got Agyness Skirt - EUR 75.21, the Moss Dress - EUR 68.36 and the Rollercoaster Belt - EUR 27.26.

First I slipped on the Moss Dress made from a soft silky jersey size XS I'm wearing this with black tights and the Rollercoaster Belt I also put my favorite bow belt on and it worked very well too. Click on the images for a larger view.





The fit is perfect around the chest, arms and waist. It falls beautifully and i love the details on the shoulders. I must admit this is a little to short for me to wear as a dress but with the right tights you can rock this as a dress or team it up over jeans and wear it as a tunic.






Be sure to check out the multiple was to wear the Rollercoaster Belt on the site as well.

Then for some real rock chic action the Agyness Skirt!





How i love every little detail on this skirt. From the studs, the leather look fabric to the folds and shapes in the fabric. I've never thought about wearing a mini skirt before but I'm actually comfortable in this. Its lined also which is great and I'm wearing a S in this as my hip measurement was a tad to big for the XS. Its a little roomy around the waist but I will get a tailor to take it in during the week.

So I'm very happy with my Carmakoma goodies and I can't wait to slip into some more designs.
