OOTD: ASOS Curve Peter Pan Dress
I've been overwrought with jealousy upon seeing
Topshop's array of Peter Pan collared blouses.
ASOS had also been coming up with a fair amount of droolworthy Peter Pan tops and dresses but the only one they've made for the Curve nation is the
embellished one which I wasn't really interested in. How is that fair? The Curve nation has every right to Peter Pan collars and scallop hem shorts!
When ASOS Curve finally came up with the
Peter Pan Collar Jersey Dress, I knew this was the moment - the moment the Curve nation had been waiting for to snatch this up and I did too, in two colours because I simply couldn't decide which!
The funny thing is shortly after I took these pictures with my lace parasol bought from Beijing, I saw ASOS selling the
same type of parasol in white! I bought mine at one-fifth its price so I am feeling this odd kind of satisfaction!
Verdict on the ASOS Curve Peter Pan Collar Jersey Dress:I bought my usual size 22 and the first immediate thought is
you can size down! And not just by one size. I am fairly confident of being able to fit 2 sizes down. The blouson sleeves were kind of airy instead of fitted and the waist was simply big for me. If I didn't belt it up, it looked kind of matronly on me. There is a button at the back collar which is there for you to undo if you need to fit your head in and it keeps falling out. However a cute dress is a cute dress, after I made the necessary adjustments to belt it, it looked much better and I love that it is knee-length on me because I can twirl in this! The boss told me I looked 1950s and I educated him on what Peter Pan collars are. Someone told me I looked like a schoolgirl which in
his definition is a good thing because men like to think of schoolgirls in the most inappropriate manner. Another someone told me I looked pretty in which I told him "Always", earning a thumbs up for my confidence. The material is very soft and comfortable and I felt really happy in it the entire day.
Bowdicts for the ASOS Curve Peter Pan Collar Jersey Dress: 
Half a bow is taken off for the size irregularity and the button that never stays buttoned.Some other bloggers who have rocked this very dress:

<33333
awwwwwww
you are soo cute
the button is horrible... and the size.. no words. I'm a 20 and when I saw the model I though "ok I'm not as she so maybe I have to order a size 22" WRONG.
You look great! Loveeeee the umbrella!
You are just the cutest thing ever... I'm thinking about trying to do a DIY peterpan collar on one of my shirts because I haven't managed to find the perfect one for me yet.
you look awesome : )
told you if you accessorised right you'd look fab!
i sewed the button up at the back, it annoyed me too much when it was coming undone all the time.xx
this dress looks so lovely on you! i wished i'd got it when they had it in my size in the black, but nevermind i'll just have to make one :)

Oh I've bought the same dress in the regular sizes (16) version!
I love the curve version more as it does not have the waist band which seems a little odd on me. Haven't posted pictured on me yet, so no link here.
Anyway, you look great in it. By the way you describe it you should have definitely got a size smaller.
Oh wow! I love this, you look so cute! Great props :)

Love the dress on you and the colourful belt really adds a nice details and not only is practical! I have this dress too and the bloody button at the back never stays together which is so annoying because I don't think it would fit over my head if it was sewn up! Love the umbrella and nice work for getting it so much cheaper! I've gone mad for Peter Pan collars, I have at least 4 of them from Topshop and 3 from ASOS plus I imagine a few other dotted about. Topshop have the scallop hem shorts in their boutique section, they have a stretchy waist so always worth a try =)

I want a lace parasol so much! Love this set of pictures - you are so cute.
you look so cute, like the dollish spirit

I love it! The blue belt looks perfect with it too! You're right about the button though, I am going to sew a larger one on in its place.
Also, that first picture of you with the bunny is sultry and adorable all at once - rawr!
Sooo cute ! love rabbit. Dress is really great.
You look great in the ASOS dress, the little blue belt is perfect! I love love love that lace parisol, and good on you for finding yours for a steal!
I though I was already kind of bored by peter pan dresses but you made me love them again :) I love how cute it looks on you! The brooch matches it perfectly! xx
Aw, you look beautiful in this dress! And the parasol is breathtaking! I also like how you've used this bright, little blue belt. It not only serves the purpose of adjusting the dress to your liking, but it also gives it an unexpected little bite of color. You brilliant fashionista, you! :)
I luv the pictures!!!
You are the epitome of cute! Was the fabric ok for Singapore? You weren't too hot?
i love peter pan collars so much on both guys and girls, its such a magical look

You styled this so differently to everyone else, really pretty and unique!! xx
These photos are incredibly darling. I love the peter pan dress and that parasol is gorgeous. The turquoise belt is the perfect icing on the cake for this outfit:)
That dress is the cutest! But not as cute as your photos!!!
AWWWWWWWWWWWW. Well, aren't you just a DOLL. I love your smile- I think you've won me over :) I love how happy you look and how your confidence radiates in these pictures. This dress is GORGEOUS on you and looks like it was made for you and only you.
what an adorable bunny! and woman, you are sooooo beautiful! your smile is just super radiant and cute. I ♥ your peter pan dress! What's the other color you got?
How naughty school girl of you, lol!! I love this dress, and it fits perfectly on you. I wish I could have one *sad face* the Peter Pan collar is so retro and adorable
Beautiful photographs, as always! I love how soft and muted they look. And, your turquoise belt is just wonderful with this outfit.
Stunning! I want this dress! Can you believe I don´t have any peter pan collar bouses or dresses? :(

cute! i like how you accessorized it! i have this dress also and i have same problem with the button on mine constantly coming undone too.
omg,youre adorable! this suits you really well! thank you for visiting my blog as well! xxx Rona
Cute, cute, cute!!! I love this dress. In fact, I am waiting for mine to arrive (except I got the camel color). I'm a little nervous regarding the fit, since you say to size down quite considerably, so I'm hoping it will be OK once it arrives. I got my usual size, and I couldn't size down b/c they don't offer it in the regular section :P
I LOVE your umbrella/parasol! It's absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
The dress looks so great on you! Also, I love your lace parasol and your cute bunny hunny! :D
thats so funny cuz when i saw these two dresses from asos, i immediately thought of you and gazel! im so glad that you bought both colors cuz this dress is definitely made for you. looking adorable as always. ;-)
You look awesome! I think I remember seeing this dress at ASOS.com and was thinking about buying it...I'm currently browsing through the website right now. I know I'm going to have to buy SOMETHING! I'm not crazy about the Peter Pan collar trend, but I like it on other people. Still, I'm intrigued to purchase a dress similar to this and style it differently than everyone else!
I'm loving that dress on you, and I'm not sure how it would look without the belt, but the belt is really great on it, I'm jealous of the belt actually. I can't find any fun colorful skinny belts in my size around here :( You look great, though I've never seen anyone holding a stuffed rabbit look so sad. perk up sunflower!
Oh. My goodness. I am loving this dress on you! It has this sort of vintage flare and makes you look like one of those sexy Mad Men secretaries! You look so adorable and so chic. I think this is my favorite so far!
I feel you on the button on the back. I have a dress with a keyhole back like that and the button is ALWAYS falling out. What's worse is when it gets wrapped/tangled in my curls XD DX lolol
Great dress. Definitely a winner! (I want one now! :D hehe)

OH, you look absolutely darling. I've always loved Peter Pan collars but I was never sure that I could really wear them. I've always thought that any sort of high neckline makes me look awkward. I'm inspired to try, though. Yours is just so cute!
And I have to tell you, I love your blog's design and especially your taste in music. Sia Furler is my lady hero and Ellie Goulding is one of my favorites. And Feist and Imogen and Adele and Priscilla and She & Him, etc etc.
Oh merry traveler what a beautiful dress! I totally agree with you on the peter pan collars, I'm a size 10/12 so it's difficult to find the cutesy stuff in my size because even the "large" sizes are too small for me, I guess them mean large as in junior sizes, anyways this dress is adorable and you look totally so pretty in it!
Wow! What an awesome review. SUCH a gorgeous dress and it looks fabulous on you. Keep smiling, you clever very cute lady!
You are so adorable! I love that lace umbrella and your cute bows too :)
Your reviews are so helpful D! I missed-purchased a couple a times at ASOS, so I'm a bit hesitant to order again. The sizing is so whimsical. I'm wondering how the other color will look on you. Hopefully you'll show us soon.
Oh that dress is just adorable! Im obbsessed with them at the moment i love the playsuit you have aswell im going to go mad on them this summer lol.
Thankyou for the lovely comment on my blog il follow you.

You look so cute!!! I love this dress, I can't believe I didn't buy it!
OOhhh I've been thinking about buying this dress and this post has sealed the deal for me! It looks adorable on you by the way!
You look gorgeous! That dress is wonderful - I love Peter Pan collars, and the rounded 'stand' collars on my men's shirts.
You look beautiful in that dress!
Just jacked off to these pics
