Hello Nauti-Cool

There was such a massive hype over City Chic's new Nauti-Cool range  I couldn't wait to head in store. I must say I was left more cool than nauti. I tried on most items and my wallet gave a huge sigh of relief when I left empty handed.
NIGHT MISTRESS DRESS $229.95
Sorry for the blurry photo. This dress was GORGEOUS. Definatley a ball gown, it felt like it had a few layers of tulle underneath. I'm wearing the medium and could've gone a size down and it was really long.

SWEET CHERRY PIE $99.95
This dress was cute and probably the only one I would've bought. I'm wearing the size small and it was a tad tight over my boobs and underarms.

TBA

NAVAL GAL BENGALINE DRESS $119.95
I didn't like this dress. I've seen it on other people and it looked amazing but I'm not a fan. It was a lot more fitted than I like. I'm wearing the small.

SEXY SAILOR DRESS $119.95
Again wasn't a fan. It was more fitted than I like and really unflattering on me, I'm wearing the small.

CRUISIN CUTIE DRESS $99.95
I liked this dress even though its a spin off the so cute dress. It was nice and comfy, it skimmed over my stomach and had nice pleats under the rouching on the back. I'm wearing the XS.

SPLICED SAILOR DRESS $99.95
I didn't like this dress, again I've seen it nicer on other people. The material was nice, light and flowy but did nothing for me. I'm wearing the small.
MILITARY CREAM JACKET $99.95
The jacket was nice and the colour will go with a lot of colours. I wasn't sure about it, I have it in the grey and barely wear it and I don't think I would wear this one. I'm wearing the Medium.

JKT PONTE ROYAL BLUE $89.95
This was more indigo than blue. It gave me a nice shape and was comfy. I'm wearing the Medium.
TUILLE BEADED DRESS $199.95
This dress was nice but definatley a young persons prom dress or theme party dress. The colour was more cream than white and it showed all of my lumps and bumps and I can myself getting pulls all in the tulle. I'm wearing the Medium.

Hello Madam Butterfly

SQUARE NECK PANEL DRESS $139.95
This dress was nice. It gave me a nice shape, the caps sleeves were nice but not for me, I hate showing my arms. The staff did add a belt on me but it made my hips look a lot bigger. I'm wearing the medium

BLING COLLIE MAXI $179.95
This dress surprised me. It was a lot nicer in person than on the city chic website. The material was nice and flowy and I just wish I had somewhere to wear it. I'm wearing the medium

VELOUR PLAYGIRL DRESS $159.95
This was also nicer in real life than on the website. It gives a nice little twist to the little black dress and i think the bubble rouched skirt gives it a youthful look. I'm wearing the medium. 
SAFARI SHIRT DRESS $119.95
This dress was really surprising. I thought gee I would never wear something like this but it is now on layby LOL, it is really comfortable and very flattering. Im wearing the xs

FLORAL FRILL CHIFFON DRESS $119.95
This dress was a bit of a disappointment, I really liked it on the web site but on me i felt really frumpy. On the flip side it has a gorgeous pattern and is very girlie. Im wearing the xs

FLUTTER SLEEVE PONTE DRESS $119.95
This dress was nice but not for me, it was a bit more clingy around my belly than i would like, however the neckline and sleeves are gorgeous. Im wearing the med

BEADED WATERCOLOUR TUNIC $79.95
SUPER ROUCHED SKINNY CARGO $79.95
The cargo pants are GORGEOUS and really comfy thats why they are on my bed ready to wear to work tonight LOL, the top is really nice, the colours are amazing, i wish the sleeves were a bit longer though. The pants are a 14 and the top xs 

CHIFFON BUTTERFLY TOP $69.95
SUPER ROUCHED SKINNY CARGO $79.95
The top was surprisingly really nice, it was really flattering aswell, the band didnt look frumpy and there are nice pleats that run across the front of the shirt. Im wearing the xs
SO CUTE LACE PRINT DRESS $99.95
This dress was nice, i had trouble getting the zip up which is located on the side. It was really flattering just like all the other versions of this dress.Im wearing the xs

CONTRAST TIE DRESS $119.95
I found this dress to be a small make, i can get into most xs dresses but there was no way the xs was going up it was at least 10cms to small, the one im wearing is the medium and was quite tight around the bust,underarms and back, i didnt find it flattering for me but i have seen this on someone else and she looked gorgeous.

ANIMAL TRIM DRESS $99.95
I wasn't a fan of this, it might have looked better if i went a size up, i. wearing the small and it was too tight across the boobs

DRAPEY MOTIVE TUNIC $79.95
I wasn't a fan of this on the city chic model and im still not a fan of it on me. Its like a skin tight dress with the drapey folds on top of it. Im wearing a xs
