SWAK Designs Clothing Haul + Try On

I’ve bought a couple of SWAK Designs dresses before. Once for a friend’s wedding and once because I liked the first one so much that I wanted it in another colour! That’s how you know I really love something – I snap it up in more than one colour.

This is the original dress I purchased a couple of years ago. I’ve worn it loads of times since! It’s a great go to for everything from weddings to important work events. I have also worn it styled more casually for brunch with friends.

The team at SWAK Designs reached out recently and asked if I wanted to try a couple of their other pieces. I jumped at the chance, because I think it’s super important to show clothes on a variety of body shapes and sizes, and there were a few pieces I was curious about the fit. So, here we go – thanks team SWAK!

Essential Gaucho Pants (3X)
Claire Cardigan (4X)
Juliet Dress (3X)
Celia Pocket Dress (3X)

All of these pieces come in multiple colour options – an absolute dream if you’re someone who likes to get their fave styles in every colour! Also great if you like one of the styles I chose, but aren’t a big fan of the colour I picked.

The Celia pocket dress was by far my favourite piece they sent me. The fit and the fabric makes it super comfortable to wear. I kind of thought this dress was going to be a deeper, darker purple. It’s kind of bright but I don’t hate it? This is a dress I’ll be able to wear a bunch of different ways. It will be great styled with a belt as well, and I’ve worn it a couple of times with a blazer. Obviously I’m thrilled that it is finally cool enough to wear stockings with this dress, but I think it will look great with bare legs when the weather is warmer too.

I still haven’t quite figured out how to best style the Essential Gaucho Pants – any suggestions? They’re going to come in very handy for comfy “work from home” style! We’re in level 4 lockdown for a little while longer – this is the perfect time for casual comfortable clothes.

Sizing

Everything I’ve tried in the past from SWAK Designs has been 3X, so that’s mostly what I ordered this time round. The exception was the Claire cardigan which I got in a 4X on the advice of the SWAK team. I’m glad I did because the fit is a little smaller. SWAK has sizes 1X-6X or US 14/16-34/36 (NZ18/20-38/40), and the size chart on each style is easy to follow. Make sure you have your tape measure handy!

Shipping

It took six days for my order to arrive, which is much quicker than I’d anticipated. Shipping costs depend on the value of your order – for Canada, Australia and New Zealand standard shipping starts at USD $19.95 (you can find more details here).
