I’ve blogged before about my love for Kitten D’Amour Carindale.
And what’s not to love? It’s girly, it’s glamourous, and they have some rocking retro styles!
But to be perfectly honest, both Miss 17 and I found it all a bit intimidating. Although we couldn’t resist browsing, we had never actually tried anything on, let along bought something from a Kitten D’Amour boutique.
So we decided enough was enough – we were going to pay Kitten D’Amour a visit and try something on!
The Good News
The fitting room area is roomy with great mirrors; perfect for taking a selfie or two ;-).
And Miss 17 looked ahhhhhh-mazing in the dresses she tried. See for yourself:
The Bad News
I struggled to find anything in Size 14 or 16 but eventually located a blouse and a dress to try on.
Sadly, neither fitted. Perhaps if I’d been an hourglass shape I might have fared better; but with a bit of a pot belly (typical of an apple shape), the clothes did nothing for my particular figure.
So I guess there’s a reason it’s called “Kitten” D’Amour – the styles are really aimed at the kittens amongst us (ie young women), rather than fat cats old tabbies like me ;-).
If only there was a Kitten D’Amour boutique aimed at the more mature amongst us – though somehow I don’t think Le Gros Chat (the large cat) boutique has quite the same ring to it!
Are there any stores that you love, but the stock just doesn’t suit your figure?!
