    Keep the blue ric rac! Don’t think of the pineapples as summer, but think of them as the southern symbol for hospitality! It’s a great hostess dress!

    • @Supfun-km5cp

      That is what I thought with the Pineapple- I think it is seasonless and beautiful!

    The green floral looks great on you, my fav of the bunch. I'd love to see what the smaller size would look like but perhaps just tying the back might help it feel more secure. The fluidity of the fabric is so dreamy and romantic, especially in the sleeves. TFS

    You encourage us to look at clothing as fun and flirty, something I haven’t done in a long time, maybe never. As for renting clothing, I never even knew that was an option but now, I’m considering it. We are newly retired and going on a number of big trips. Renting something special to wear for those big evening events makes so much more sense than buying something that I may not need again ever. BTW, the last dress was spectacular on you.

      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +4

      Elsa, I love that idea- this would be so wonderful for a vacation because so often you won’t use those items again (or at least not often). We went to Germany in November and needed clothing for a much colder climate than we have in Texas. I bought things that I may not use again for a very long time. I’m wearing the last dress to work today and am strongly considering keeping it!!

    I’m sorry, but the butterfly dress was giving Wilma Flintstone vibes bc of the uneven hemline. No go, even on the model.
    The green floral was stunning, a keeper in a smaller size so you’d be comfortable in it, & despite my initial skepticism, the blue rickrack was lovely on you. Great color, bold pattern but not too much, beautiful flow.
    Thanks for another fun video!

    @CatSteward 2 месяца назад +11

    I looove your attitude. I feel like you’re encouraging me personally. You’ve inspired me to wear what makes me happy. And the blue dress is designed brilliantly. The seaming and darts are perfectly placed to show off your shape, and the placement of the white trim makes me think of beautiful period-French dresses.

  • @gooses78
    @gooses78 2 месяца назад +4

    The Let Me Be dress is SO cute, it gives me hard core fairytale vibes! Also, the butterfly dress would be perfect for a date night picnic in the park. But honestly, if you like the butterfly dress, you wear it wherever the heck you want! You be you, and you be happy.

  • @sandyjohnson8927
    @sandyjohnson8927 2 месяца назад +4

    Fun to see how more expensive clothing looks. Different and more classy then the usual cheap stuff. Pieces that stand out. My dream to have a place to try on plus size clothing in designer brands.

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +2

      I would absolutely love that! You open it and I’ll come shop, it will be amazing!! I think the only brand that I see often that is at all comperable is City Chic- everything is just made so well! I really don’t need the rental service, but I also love trying on the nicer pieces!

  • @LaJuana558
    @LaJuana558 2 месяца назад +6

    LoL on the butterfly dress. I’d have that swallowtail pinned up in a skinny minute. It would make me nuts with that one point touching my leg. 😂
    Sumorset is gorgeous!! A keeper for sure!
    That strapless looked really nice on you! I have a blouse in viscose and the feel of the fabric is my favorite thing about it. I think it came in a Fashom box where you automatically keep everything. Actually the style is good to but the print just isn’t me. I wore it one day last week to see if I enjoyed it enough to keep. I’ve had it about a year and never worn it so you can imagine, it’s in the donate bag now. Anyway all of that being said, I’m surprised you didn’t like the fabric in the strapless.
    A shame the Odetta is too big. Gorgeous spring look!
    Flo is definitely dreamy! Too short for me but it hits you just right.
    The last dress is definitely a keeper. And I wouldn’t worry about the weight of linen. I feel like linen keeps me cooler than being naked would. Hope that it works like that in this beauty!
    Renting is definitely a fun option for special occasions. Glad you’ve had such fun with it! Thanks for sharing!!
    And “welcome back”! Hope you’re feeling as good as you look!🎉

  • @duster497
    @duster497 2 месяца назад +11

    Loved the white/blue Anthropology! I did NOT like the Let Me Be dress when you pulled it out of the box, but on, it looked great. Very complimentary of your skin tone. And... definitely keep the last dress!!

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +1

      I think you are right, there were so many things that I could find for a cruise. We went to Germany in November and it was much colder than our winters, so possibly renting cold weather items would be nice, too!

  • @Emmuzka
    @Emmuzka 2 месяца назад +3

    Linen is summer fabric, even when it's heavy. It feels cool, looks nice even when it's wrinkled and is practically stain resistant 🙂I could see me use a renting service with a specific event or a photo shoot in mind, but not months back-to-back. This would save a lot if one had a fancy wedding party or a cruise with nothing to wear.

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +2

      I wore the linen dress yesterday, and it was about 94 degrees and crazy humid- you were right, I was perfectly comfortable!

  • @largedoglover99
    @largedoglover99 2 месяца назад +2

    I think you’re so pretty. I think you look really good in everything you wear. It doesn’t mean everything you try on looks good. It just means you’re very pretty. It’s funny what you think looks good and what I think looks good. Sometimes you put on things that you dislike and I love, I love the way things look on you. Anyway, I’m a heavy woman and I’m struggling as I’m shorter than you, much shorter. Thanks for doing all of this for us ha ha ha.

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +2

      You are just a sweetheart, thank you so much ♥️. That really means a lot to me! I am finding that plus size petites are harder to find than plus sides for a tall gal like me- something that I had never even considered prior to RUclips! I really wish that some of the brands that specialize in plus, like City Chic, would fill that niche. I hope that you have a wonderful Yhirsday and a lovely weekend ❤️

  • @AnnaBreit
    @AnnaBreit 2 месяца назад +4

    That butterfly dress is an amazing piece but like you said it is high fashion and needs to have the right place to wear it. The suggestions you gave were great, but I could also see it as a dress at a garden party for those in a creative industry. The blue and white dress is adorable and well made dress (and also a good buy now price), but seems plain for farm rio. They must have realized a more muted blue and white collection because I have a different blue and white farm rio that I bought on super clearance at anthro last fall. The red dress is cute, but looks a bit cheap and is not the best shape for your body (and honestly the tube sheath silhouette does not look great on many people). The oddette dress is beautiful and my personal favorite. And finally the last one has you written all over it. Looks like it’s inspired by the Silke dresses and the Japanese Lolita style dresses. You need to keep this given your romantic, girly, pretty style. The second farm rio is great! The pattern and details are incredibly flattering and it’s not quite as “cute” as the first one.
    I LOVE antro and have spent TONS of money there. I’m not working now and could see Nurly as a one off purchase if I had a very special event to attend since I’m not doing much these days.
    Love your videos as always Meredith and your videos are always a breath of true positivity and fresh air

    You wear any dress you want, to any time you want. I love being dressed interesting and people wondering what my life must be. I'm just going to the supermarket! If you need an occasion, I think any art show (for the first dress) would be great. It would be super appreciated.

    Love the blue tic rack so DEFINITLY keep! Same with white dress & blue. The green dress is gorgeous if it were right size. Never thought I’d rent clothes before but absolutely would try this if I still worked full time. Still might try it just because I like wearing feminine dresses even if only in my home alone😅❤❤❤

    Hi Meredith! Thanks for introducing this kind of service… never heard of it before but will check it out! As far as the dresses go you did save the best for last. I also loved the white dress with blue embroidery on it. Both looked so good on you! Nope on the butterfly.

    @ScrappyHighlander 2 месяца назад

    I love “the heart wants what the heart wants” attitude. Great idea for a rental service to be able to try something different than what you would normally buy. Would be great for a cruise or vacation to dress up for dinner in some higher end fashion. No commitment and no cleaning it after.

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +1

      A cruise would be ideal!! Now I want to take a cruise (not just for Nuuly.. 🤣). I think that any type of vacation would be great, I often buy clothes that don’t work as well for the weather here.

      The purchase discounts kind of surprised me! I have heard about my Sister-in-law buying things, but didn’t understand what she meant!

  • @krickette5569

    Odette was STUNNING, and my favorite as far as pretty. However, I also liked the FarmRio dress because it looked comfortable and I am all about comfort. The other dresses were pretty but not something I'd choose. I would rent a dress if I needed something for a wedding or other one time event but not for these kinds of clothes.

    Madame butterfly it’s great to have something you wouldn’t buy but you would like to flutter around in, just for yourself. I can’t help but think that when we started this you wouldn’t think of trying this style but now it’s fun. Blue and white it’s you! But you have this style. Love the green but too big it has to go back. Peach looked great on you very feminine. Farm Rio has pockets send them all back but keep Farm Rio! Have fun while you have them!

    💙blue florals on you. great look! The Butterfly dress would be perfect for a beach night out. The Farm Rio and Somerse are keepers! The Odetta is pretty but too big. the Flo is adorable. Another keeper! Easter Sunday, High Tea, Garden Parties, Baby Showers. They all look really good, but those were the standouts that were extra flattering while being in your style.

  • @celtzen
    @celtzen 2 месяца назад

    The last two - the little short fun dress and the longer darker blue that was last are both fantastic - the green one I really like but for me it's far too girly lol- the orange sarong is just a lovely shape but that would be so easy to make for far less money (probably less than the whole box) Personally I like the idea- I'm horrible for buying clothes and not wearing them but something like this would give me the new shiny dresses, not cluttering up my closet and honestly it's less than I'd generally spend...Adding a quick edit - I just came up with the perfect use for this! Vacations! I always spend a fortune on new fun clothes to take on vacation and then once I get back they go into the closet never to be seen again- this would be _fantastic_ for vacations!! Specially something like a cruise because you do tend to need dressier clothes and $98 is a lot better than what you would pay for even one nice dinner dress!

  • @randomnotyettaken5871
    @randomnotyettaken5871 2 месяца назад

    This is perfect timing I just got my first nuuly delivered this week. I love Anthropologie but my bank account doesn’t and that’s what got me to try it. I really like my pieces and have worn half of the items already. I think I’ll keep doing nuuly and I suppose if I really really like something but can’t afford it I can re-rent it until it is affordable. Thank you so much for sharing your and your sister in law’s experience and thoughts on the service.

      Ahh!! I love that!! I did not know how much I loved Anthropologie until now!

I had a strong detergent smell that wasn’t mine, but I hung them up and it is gone.

      @hr323i 2 месяца назад

      @@BigonStyle My items had a faint detergent smell but nothing off putting. One of the items had some elastic that had broken down and I can only think that's from the way they launder the clothing. That item also had the biggest discount. I am very tempted to keep/ buy it despite the elastic, it's only on the sleeves, and a cardigan but maybe by the end of 4 weeks I'll be done with both. I already have a "closet" full of items to choose from for my next shipment.

    WOW! The only dress I didn't like was the strapless one (it ended up having straps but I'm sure you know which one I am talking about)! I watched Samantha try that dress on too, and I loved it!! GTK they offer some plus sizes through Anthropologie!! I think it would be fun to do this right before you go on a vacation or important engagements! It would be nice if they would let you switch out the clothes as many times as you wanted to. I know there is a rental service that does that, I just can't remember who it is!

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +2

  • @marcellacruser951
    @marcellacruser951 2 месяца назад

    The Farm Rio pineapple dress is lovely and I think the white dress is actually the most flattering dress I've ever seen in you. The green dress is nice but zi e seen several similar looks on you recently. While I know you don't care for the fabric of the tiki dress, it was wildly flattering on you. SO chic! The only one I didn't like on you was the fluffy peach and blue dress. If it had had a tea length skirt, i think it would have been fab, but the fluff around your middle focuses everything TO the middle and doesn't take advantage of your height and fabulous shoulder line. I'm your height and build with an only slightly narrower torso, so your reviews are like vintage upscale viewing room modeling sessions for me. If you can wear it, almost guaranteed I can pull it off too. Keep up the fabulous work, sis! Muck love!

    Absolutely love that last dress - such a great shape. I also love the white dress with blue embroidery. Sadly, I don’t have occasions to need a rental service, but I think it’s a great option. I love the sustainable, reusable packaging. When I see other websites that send clothing in many plastic bags, I do feel that’s wasteful.

    • @BigonStyle
      @BigonStyle  2 месяца назад +1

      Pamela, I agree with you on the plastic packaging- sadly, that has become the norm. Even ordering from Walmart or Torrid, everything comes in so many plastic bags. That is one big point for a service like this!

    Hi, I have a request… versatile work clothes. I really struggle with how I can look classy with clothes that will last for more than one season… classic slacks, for instance… but not look *boring* or frumpy. If you could give some ideas on how to have some pizazz while still being office appropriate, it would be really great.

    Gurrrrl! That Rio dress is absolutely beautiful. I hear what you’re saying about it being heavy. But remember it’s made of natural fibers that breathe. My favorite on you was that green dress. You need to get that in your (smaller) size. It looks STUNNING on you. Great video.

    I kind of expected the last one to look a lot more saturated than it did 😅Oh well, that just means it's not for me! Looks wonderful though, I adore the smile it brought you, if that returns every time you wear it there's a good chance it's a keeper! Honestly the green floral Odetta was my favorite on you (though I thought you looked lovely in all of them!), but my love of green and macro florals is definitely clouding my judgement here, so I understand if you're not as in love with it as I am- though tying the back string up should help with it fitting more securely, in case that sways your opinion!

    I liked them all. I am sure your husband loved the "hot numbers" on you. The first one if it wasn't such a tight fit would be a good bathing suit cover up. If you dare wear it as it, go for it and have fun; the same with the other short dress with all of the layers that you said that you would go to the "Royal Tea" in.

    Hey Meredith! What an interesting video! I've looked at Nuuly before, but didn't know enough about it to take the plunge. You may have changed that.
    I'm just giving quick 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 with maybe a quick comment today. Or at least I'm gonna try!
    Butterfly - 👎🏻 Partially for style, partially for fit and partially for color (that shade of pale yellow didn't do anything for your skin or your hair colors).
    Somerset - 👍🏻 Just gonna say I'm having your hubby send you for a competency exam if you don't keep this one! It's beautiful on you!!
    Tiki column dress - 👍🏻 and 👎🏻 I loved the color and print and I think it would be great at your BIL's tiki parties. And for a cover up at beach resort or cruise vacations. You could easily wear it from pool or beach into lunch. Stunning with a big straw hat. Hated the price, especially considering those limited uses.
    Odetta - 👎🏻 ish. I was leaning toward 👍🏻 (in a smaller size), until you showed the back. That really limits its usefulness - could you really wear that to your office??? You said it didn't seem hot, but it LOOKED hot. Just not really fan, so I went to 👎🏻.
    Let Me Be - 👍🏻 My thought the first time I watched was 👎🏻. It felt a bit short and I'm not fond of super puffy sleeves like that. They remind me of Glinda the Good Witch's dress. When I watched it through a second time, I changed to 👍🏻 because the dress itself was such a good fit and looked lovely on your body and coloring. And you obviously LOVED it! And that really weighs way more than my silly sleeve dislike! 😂😂
    Farm Rio Flounce - 👍🏻 This is a lot like the last one. I really didn't like it at all. It looked like a zip up robe or lounger. I did like the look of the fabric and workmanship and it fit well. But I'm in the minority since everyone else liked it. And, more importantly, again, you LOVED it, and that's the goal!
    So I couldn't keep to 👍🏻 and 👎🏻. I'm just physically incapable of not yammering on, I guess!
    You look great! ❤

      I actually wore the Odetta this morning to church, but wore it with a tomato-red cami underneath. You could see it in both the front and the back, but it made the dress totally appropriate! It really wasn’t hot at all, but the sleeves were a touch itchy.

      I cannot imagine wearing the butterfly out, but thought it was very fun!
      The clothes did have a strong chemical/detergent smell. Everything says that they are dry cleaned between uses, I have seen several reviews talking about smell. After I opened the package I hung everything and today I am wearing the Blue Farm Rio and don’t smell anything but my perfume/deodorant combo.

    Sounds like Nuuly is taking recently off season clothing and renting/selling them. Explains why a lot of sale clothing disappears off sites like Anthropolgie, so it's a service you would use like Poshmark - but you can try it on and wear it once to make sure you love it!

    I was surprised that I liked both the butterfly dress and the other short dress on you. I think because of your height, I have not liked shorter styles on you. Although I have no idea where you would wear the butterfly dress. These were nice. I loved the fresh white with blue dress. It was absolutely my favorite. I also liked the green flowy floral dress. It was quite feminine. My least favorite was your favorite. It looked like a 60s or 70s mumu hostess dress. It looked very heavy like a home seamtress had used upholstery fabric. The orange dress was kinda neutral to me. It was ok, and I preferred it over the pineapple dress, but it had limited wearability.

  • @doriscassan6996
    @doriscassan6996 2 месяца назад

    The dresses are all nice though the butterfly one is not to my taste. LOVED the white with blue embroidery (Somerset) and the Flo one, though a bit short. I don't have your legs. The strapless orange one looks very practical for pool parties. That Farmer Rio one.. something about it is too much... maybe the giant rickrack trim? I would go for some smaller or finer embellishment.
    I think that renting clothing is a great idea and could be very environmentally responsible. I would consider rental for things that are more Occasion wear that I don't want to buy and have hanging around to be used once a year or so.
    But it sounds to me like it would not save much money. So that is unfortunate. Needs to do both.
