Growing & Glowing

This channel is to share my growth in my personal self-love journey, motherhood, life as a wife, and rediscovering myself in different seasons.

I'm not an expert at everything, but I am an expert at being ME! I hope that I can help other women feel more confident about themselves. Life has challenges but I’m learning and growing everyday.

    I think we have gotten use to clothes stretching and sizing by that. Most of this collection did not stretch and people struggled with that.

  • @Growing-and-Glowing
    @Growing-and-GlowingАй бұрын

    I agree and will say that it took me time to to find my sizing with clothing that doesn’t stretch. Just to provide some context, for the past 4-5 years I’ve been buying pieces without stretch from various brands/stores, so I’m familiar with clothing that doesn’t have stretch. I am a fan of even a very minimal amount of stretch because it provides “give” to accommodate our beautifully different bodies. As someone that typically wears a 10-12 in non-stretch bottoms from various brands, Target included, I didn’t expect to need a size 16, which still didn’t fit properly, or larger. I’m by no means criticizing the brand, only sharing that some pieces didn’t work for me (even after purchasing 2 different sizes in 4+ items). Still a beautifully curated, quality collection at a great price point.

    I ordered the dress online and ordered my normal size but the top does not button but everything else is fine.

  • @Growing-and-Glowing
    @Growing-and-GlowingАй бұрын

    I tried the dress on in a size 8 and could button the bottom buttons and the one at the very middle but couldn’t button any of those top buttons. I tried the 10 and the top buttons closed but the the midsection and the bottom was too big and didn’t suit me how I would’ve liked it to. Such a pretty dress on so many different body types though and I really love the button detail and the structure at the top. I would love to see it as a vest and skirt combo.

  • @kwanzafalaka5668
    @kwanzafalaka56682 ай бұрын

    I will add that the black slacks are great! However, there was a very little difference between the 6 and the 8 but it fits like it has been tailored.

  • @Growing-and-Glowing
    @Growing-and-Glowing2 ай бұрын

    I love the cut and feel of the slacks, they just didn’t fit my body how I was hoping. I usually have to spend a lil coin on pants so that they’re long enough on me. They’re really well made, I wanted to love them so badly because they looked sooooo good on everyone I saw wearing them!

  • @kwanzafalaka5668

    I hit the site the night it was released. The only pieces I had my eyes on were the jeans and the denim vest. I ordered two sizes in each (8 & 10 in jeans) and (S & M) in the vest. I wasn't a fan of the vest, but I love the jeans. I kept the size 10, which told me that the sizing was different. When I went to the store to return the pieces, I tried on the black slacks in a size 6 they were 🔥 they were a bit snug so I didn't get them, but I found a size 8 online and I absolutely love them! So I can say that I got the pieces that I wanted and some ❤

  • @Growing-and-Glowing
    @Growing-and-Glowing2 ай бұрын

    I’m so happy you found some pieces that you love ❤️ u really wanted the jeans and the denim corset as well, but I’m not sure if the jeans would’ve been long enough because for me. The stores in my area that got the pieces sold out in most items and all that was left were like size 0-4 and then size 20 and larger, so I couldn’t try anything on in store. The next launch, I’m going to be ready and on the target site right at 3am and then be the first one in the store right when it opens so I can try the pieces on in person and get the right sizes in the pieces I want. But the collection is definitely 🔥

    I went up 2 sizes from my normal size in linen/non stretch pieces and it was too tight through the hips for me but big in the waist. Beautiful pieces and great quality but just didn’t work for me personally.

    You look so pretty. I like the way your hair is styled. I’m guessing possibly the denim dress was probably made in different manufacturing factories. I used to work in retail and this does happen.

    Thank you so much. That definitely makes sense. The waist tie on the larger dress was darker than the dress, it was the same color of the smaller dress. They felt different as well.

    I agree that the quality is top tier. However, sizing was inconsistent. I am a true 4/6, and nothing fit me as well. I was so disappointed because everything was sold out and I wanted to support her. Hopefully, the next drop, we will have better luck!😊
