Selkie is another brand where the sizing is not consistent and it’s very important to refer to measurements on the size chart vs numerical sizes listed. I personally do prefer a bra though and I am wearing one in these pictures. As someone who when it doubt sizes up it was hard for me to come around to the concept that the Selkie puff is designed to be snug on the chest – so snug in fact that a bra is not needed. While an ordinary dress having extra room in the bust wouldn’t be a big deal it makes or breaks the fit of a Selkie puff. The puff / french puff sizing can be a bit tricky because it’s all about the bust and is otherwise very loose by design. You can see in some of these pictures that in the 3x I have some boob spillage. Truth be told a 4x altered to fit would be best but I didn’t have the patience for that if I’m being honest. This time I ordered the 3x and it was the best fit of the three puffs. When my french puff arrived I knew I has found my perfect Selkie silhouette. The Hongbao Dream Girl dress is now sold out but it was $140 on sale which is a great price for a Selkie I also couldn’t resist grabbing a red dream girl dress because it was pretty discounted due to only being available in a few sizes and I paid $140 for it which is more in line with what I an typically willing to spend on a nice dress. Wearing the Milk Jade French Puff purchased on sale for $260 My Milk Jade French Puff was $260 and that makes it the 2nd most expensive dress I own (the first being my wedding dress). This ghost sleeve sweater was around $80 on sale, it’s a 4x and I find the fit to be perfect.Īs much as I told myself I didn’t need it, after months of wanting a french puff I decided the Selkie cyber week sale was the best time to buy and I asked for one for Christmas (and told Shaun taking pretty pictures of me in it had to be part of the present, lol). This ghost sleeve sweater was on sale for around $100 – I am wearing the 4x and find it to be oversized as intended The sweaters are a really good fit for my lifestyle as I live in sweatshirts and leggings during the week but they still feel dressed up and have a fun and romantic aesthetic. In the meantime, I indulged my love for the Selkie aesthetic buy purchasing two sweaters (these are really a sweatshirt material but that’s what Selkie calls them). My very first Selkie – this 5x was too big and was traded with another individual for a smaller size But at $325, it was hard to justify the expense. I loved the overall style and romantic feel of the dress so I decided a french puff (the longer version) would be a much better fit. While the puff is beautiful and makes for wonderful photos it’s not really great for everyday life on my 5’10 frame. My bigger problem with the fit of the puff is the length. The 4x puff was a better fit but still a little loose in the chest, which honestly surprised me as I wear a 42G bra. Luckily I was able to find another fan in the Selkie Obsessed facebook group who had a 4x and was looking for a larger size so we traded. I initially ordered a 5x based on their size chart listing it as the equivalent of my typical size 22 so I was surprised to find it too big. I started my Selkie journey with the iconic Selkie piece – the puff dress. I currently have three plus size Selkie dresses (with a 4th on the way) and two plus size Selkie sweaters so I feel comfortable enough with Selkie to give an in-depth review. Unless you have been living under a rock this past year you have probably heard of the brand Selkie, and you’ve probably heard that they are size inclusive and are curious about their plus size fits.
