Gwynnie Bee: A Clothing Rental Service. First Impressions.

I am the type of person that gets very bored with my wardrobe, which can be extremely expensive.  Gwynnie Bee was offering a free month, so I decided to go ahead with it.  What is Gwynnie Bee? It is a clothing rental service for sizes 10 and up.  I love this.  I love subscription boxes and all that I have found don't come in a size 16.  It is very frustrating. I find myself sometimes in between regular sizes and plus sizes. For $35 dollars a month, GB will send you one garment from your closet (There are other plans for 3 and 10 garments at a time).  They send a pre packaged bag to send the dress back when you are done with it.  Love it? No problem. You can buy the item at a discounted rate.  This dress was $60.

As I went through their clothing, I noticed some of my favorite brands Lucky and Lands End.  Awesome! They had a great selection of dresses.  One thing that did frustrate me was I would see a dress I would love, and it didn't come in my size.  While searching for clothes, I made sure to filter out those that didn't come in my size.  I easily found 30 garments to put in my closet.

The label for my shipment was created on Monday, and I got the package today (Thursday).  Not too bad, but the shipping back and forth is definitely a factor in me deciding to keep my subscription.

My first selection was this beautiful dress:

Taylor Dresses- Sleeveless Rose Printed Dress in a 14W


I was very excited to receive this package.. I felt like a kid on Christmas! 

Here is what the box look liked when I opened:

Everything was packaged nicely!  It also came with an envelope with all the instructions and benefits of the plan. 


Now for the dress itself. I was concerned about sizing. With plus sizes, I usually am a 14W.  This unfortunately was a little big! Buying it is out of the question. BUT I am considering wearing this to work tomorrow with a black cardigan.  What do you guys think??





Should I wear it tomorrow? It is big, so I am not sure if it looks/falls right... Please comment below with what you think,
