Gwynnie Bee: Plus Clothing Subscription Boxes

The site offers one month free but little in the way of how to use the service. I selected three garments (out of very few choices for sizes 10 or 12) and was told that I had to have at least 8 garments in my «Closet» in order for anything to ship. I added more, they sent me an email that my garments shipped. THEN two days laters said that my items were on «hold» because I did not have at least 25 garments in my closet. Why didn’t they say that to begin with. The limited number of choices prevents me from having 25 items. After less than a week I canceled.

DISCOVERING GWYNNIE BEE:
After having children, I’m above a size 10 in woman’s clothing, and I was really self conscious about it, as I’m tall, and used to have a supermodel build through my teens & 20’s. I had my frumpy uniform of big person clothing (mainly maternity) that I lived in, and thought I deserved to wear that. I have a longstanding tradition of purchasing a new birthday outfit for my special day, so that I can feel great! Luckily, I heard about GB in the beginning of April last year, and so I signed up for the free month trial, and it changed my life!
LAUNDRY:
Maybe I just suck at doing laundry, but as a working mom, I kept spending 60+ on an OK (back then I thought great) work dress, just to destroy it in the wash after 1 or 2 cycles. My husband whom always dry cleans all of his workwear told me to start sending my dresses to his cleaners. Sure, they lasted a lot longer, and looked hella better, but it’s close to $ 5 per dress, times 4 – 5 days a week. Eeak!!! Now I spend less using GB, and I NEVER need to do my laundry or go to a dry cleaners for myself. I always look great too! This brings me to another point, PLEASE GB staffers, if you’re reading this, expand to professional menswear! PLEASE! Shirts, ties, pants, and Tommy Bahama, just for my personal hatred of going to the dry cleaners…
, just an idea…
STYLISH:
Where I was once scared of the looks when people would obviously talk bad about my body, now I get young and stylish people smiling (and pointing) in admiration of my new style! Gwynnie Bee carries styles that I never knew existed that even camouflage the baby bump in FUN and elegant ways. Things I never would have bought for myself, but they’re oh so fun to try once, and send back (or even keep at a severely discounted rate!) I mentioned above that GB changed my life, and that is because my post-​baby-​confidence is now souring! You can still be stylish after a size 10. In addition, with the rental service, you always have access to height of the season haute couture clothing that fit like a glove. Oh, and clothing shopping addiction be gone!
WHY ALL PROFESSIONAL OR STYLISH FEMALE UnilocalERS, ABOVE A SIZE 10, SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT:
I swear, I have absolutely NO affiliation with this company (apart from a small referral bonus they offer everyone) I just adore their services! OK, Unilocalers, if you’re still reading, then you KNOW the power of our reviews! The best part is that before choosing a garment for your closet, you get to read all of the reviews, from people with your body type! You can tell if it might be too tight, big, short, or odd for your style. I read reviews and LOVE everything I get! I’ve only sent 1 dress back in my first month because I didn’t read the reviews, and I wasn’t anticipating it to be SO tight and short. I’ve since learned.
PHONE APPS:
Sure, I still walk the mall, but only for exercise, taking my kids to the play places, and finding cool belts, shoes, and jewelry. I even use the free Tracy Mall WiFi to browse GB while my kids play! I’m not even tempted to purchase any clothing because GB is SO exceptional! Honestly, the GB app is the only one that I allow push notifications, because I LOVE to be first in queue the first in the upcoming fashions. The app slows you to pick and change anything! I never go online.
MY FIRST APPREHENSIONS ANSWERED:
How does it work? Like net flicks for clothing.
Do they charge you for mailing or cleaning? In my experience, no. However, I’ve never destroyed a garment, but I HAVE partied in them with smells of smoke and what have you. Never an overcharge.
How much do they charge for their garments, if I fall in love? The prices of garments range from a lot around $ 15 – 25 to some higher end (that I was tempted to buy) at $ 80. Most range on the lower scheme.
Are the prices reasonable? If you’re a professional, YES! If you’re a fashionista with a less than $ 75 a month budget, NO!
CONS:
If you think you have to be a size 6-​, go away!
If you’re apposed to up-​to-​date, professionally washed, fashionable clothing, then go away!
Belts frequently go missing. (Buy your own)
OVERALL:
If you’re a 10 plus, and LOVE fashion, then this is the place for you! Just make sure you have accessories to make these outfits pop! Never bore your coworkers wearing the same thing twice! Have fun, and enjoy life, fashionably!

Yum, not just to the drinks!
