- What if the wind blows
and then all of a sudden you see all of my goodies.
That's not my aim in life to just be going wherever
the wind blows and showing off my boobies to the world.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Jazzmyne.
- Hey guys. My name is Lindsey Granger.
- Hey guys, I'm Vivian.
And today we're going to be trying
a One Size Fits All maxi dress, from a Black owned company.
- I don't see a lot of Black owned clothing companies
that have One Size Fits All.
I think probably because a lot of Black owners
know that our sizes and shapes vary so much.
So when you're making these products,
you kind of wanna tailor it,
to different people with different forms.
So, me I have smaller chest and then like bigger down here.
So I'm excited to try this on.
I'm excited to support a Black business
and let's see what really happens.
Because listen if I look crazy, y'all gotta let me know.
- I'm a size small.
So it's not that hard for me to find dresses in my size.
It could be a little tricky when it comes to
what works best for my body type,
because I have some broad ass shoulders.
So if it doesn't fit me
and show that I have a smaller waist,
a lot of times I can look like a brick wall.
Or like, you know in the '80s,
when everything was about the oversized shoulder pads.
That's not popping in 2020.
- I've been in the videos, talking about one sized clothing,
I'm gonna say it and I'll say it again.
And I've said it before.
That One Size Fits All, is not really what I depend on
or what I like look to in general, to be honest.
Just being a plus size girl and being tall.
It's just like, there's a good chance that One Size Fits All
is not going to fit me, because this is a dress.
I do think this dress will fit me.
"How" is the true question.
How good will I look in this One Size Fits All dress.
Let's see it.
(upbeat music)
- Alright this dress has
what seems to be an interesting shape.
It has pockets.
It seems like it's gonna be long on me.
Like my proper length. So that's good.
- I feel like if I was a little bit shorter,
this would be an issue because
most dress lengths can be tricky for
girls who are a bit more petite.
And this is a very long dress.
So if someone's shorter than me
they might have a little bit more of an issue with this.
Or maybe not because we do have the power of heels.
- I got to tell you looking at it.
I'm even more concerned than I was, while it was in the box.
Because I don't see how this is gonna fall
in the right places to make me look like I have a shape.
I think that one thing that it will do is
because it's black. Hopefully it will slim me out.
We'll see though. But I, looking at this, I don't know.
I'm gonna have to try it on.
(upbeat music)
- Okay. I'm not mad at this.
I might need to get it tailored for length
because I am very short.
But other than that, it has breathing room.
So if I'm at the beach, this perfect maxi dress
is actually perfect for like a chill beach day.
- So the dress goes down nicely.
- Honestly, it's very big.(laughing)
It's a lot of fabric on my frame.
- It really doesn't do anything for my figure.
If anything it kind of just like
makes it a little bit wider.
Which isn't bad,
but it's just kind of like flat and then ruches.
- I really like how this drapes, like I like this
because it's almost like a design. Right?
- Also I'm having a little bit of trouble with the straps.
Like my boobs are like down here
and the straps don't really go as long.
I wished the straps were a little bit longer,
because it feels like I'm kind of like tense.
Like they're a little tight on my shoulders.
- The straps are a little bit too long,
so I might shorten the straps
or maybe I'll crisscross the straps.
Just so that they fit a little bit better.
Cause you know, there's just a lot of freeness.
(laughs)
That makes me concerned.
Like what if the wind blows?
And then all of a sudden you see all of my goodies.
That's not good.
(laughs)
- So overall I think the dress is cute.
I just feel like it kind of looks
a little different than what I'm used to.
I don't think it's bad, but how would I style this?
I'm gonna put some things with it real quick.
(upbeat music)
- The necklace and my bracelet
is from another Black owned company.
This is from Lola Ade, which is also a Nigerian company.
I am Nigerian-American.
So like (woman cheering)
Black and African and Nigerian specific designs
is just like making me so happy.
But let's add another layer onto it.
This necklace get into it. It's also all recycled.
This is literally recycled materials. How gorgeous.
I just funded your opinion queen to queen
because I had to do a little bit of
tailoring and cutting up. - Yeah.
You know, it takes the right kind of person
to make a One Size Fits All into,
if it's me type situation.
So yeah, I think he did a great job with it.
It looks really good. You accessorized it really well.
And I really love the necklaces.
It makes your boobs look great.
- Thank you. The boobs are really important.
There's not a tonne of them, but the ones that are here,
you know, loud and proud.
- I feel better about One Size Fits All.
I would wear this on a casual day in the summer,
grocery shopping
or hanging out with my friends at the beach,
family at the beach.
I paired it with the Lola Ade accessories which I love.
This bracelet and these earrings,
which I think are perfect for the beach.
So I'm into it.
This is the whole thing.
I'm gonna bend it down a little bit so you can see.
- Very casual, very comfortable. I'm getting vacation vibe.
We're dealing with COVID man.
Maybe I'm getting staycation vibe.
Very cute. Love the earrings, love the styling.
To me it looks good.
I can see it fit in multiple people, maybe myself included.
So when you're done you can package that
and ship it to Austin.
But it is definitely in my wheelhouse.
- When I first saw this dress, I was just like, man,
how am I gonna style this?
Without being red for like, not doing anything you know.
And then once I started, I put on my earrings,
I put on my beautiful black own necklace.
I put on my belt.
So my shoes, put on the sunglasses.
I was like, oh, this speaks for itself.
And so it ended up being really good.
Open.
- (woman cheering)
- Do you like my outfit?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Ancient Greece. The '70s
- Yes. - I love it.
I like that it looks kind of, straight cut.
I feel like you usually have to go with like
high waist, A-line or like you know, very form fitting
but this is really flattering.
Cause it was just like, it's cute.
- Thanks baby.
(upbeat music)
- I think with the perfect maxi dress
and the Lola Ade accessories, it's a good chill outfit.
Everything doesn't have to be, you know
a look where you're like decked out top to bottom,
very tight or whatever have you.
This is very chill, relaxing.
It just makes you feel like you're gliding.
And so I would support One Size Fits All.
I changed my mind about One Size Fits All.
- As far as this dress being One Size Fits All.
There are a little bit of things.
Like I said, this dress will fit people.
I don't know how like good,
it's going to look on everybody's size.
Especially if you have like a longer torso
or like bigger, broader shoulders or a bigger chest.
It was really hard for me to like fit everything into here,
looking how I wanted it to look.
But I'm very happy with the outcome.
I really enjoyed the stress.
- Supporting Black owned business on the bottom
and Black owned and Nigerian owned business on the top.
It makes my heart so happy because
as someone who is Nigerian and American
and specifically Black American, to wear head to toe
Black and African and Nigerian specific designs
is just like making me so happy.
It's very much built for queens.
So like, I feel like a radiant queen of the sun.
