My First Impression of Dia & Co Plus Size Subscription Box

Today I'm going to be sharing my first impressions of Dia & Co plus-size subscription box which is a monthly subscription curated by a Dia & Co stylist. There is a one time option as well.

Influenster continues to be one of my favorite ways to try products for free. I get Influencer Voxboxes with free samples inside every now and then and it's a great way to see what's new. So when I got an email telling me about a new Voxbox from Dia & Co I thought it sounded like a great fit for me since I love fashion.

I signed up for the Dia & Co plus-size subscription box and the $20 stylist fee was waived through Influenster in exchange for me sharing a picture on Instagram. It would be my first time trying any clothing subscription box and I wanted to share my experience here.

I received my Dia & Co subscription box in about a week. My first impression was a tad bit disappointed in the styles of patterns that were chosen for me. I generally don't like a lot of flowers and I noticed that this box had mostly flowered tops in them. But I still wanted to give each outfit I try to see just how it would look on me.

Outfit #1

I first tried on this off white blouse with pinkish-red flowers on them. I noticed from the beginning that these blouses were going to be way too big for me.

A little bit too grandma for this grandma.

Outfit #2

The second blouse was a V-neck navy blue top with white flowers on it. Now I love a V-neck blouse and there were ties in the back that would have made this a cute blouse if it weren't so big. It also looked like it had pleats that made it look like a maternity blouse. When I first pulled out the white denim capris I thought, whoa these are huge! There's no way these pants are going to fit me. 

I look like a pregnant hot mess in this outfit!

Outfit #3

The last outfit was my favorite. It was a beautiful colorful sleeveless maxi dress that had a tapered waist that complemented my shape. The only problem with this dress was that it was at least 4 inches too long. I would have to get it professionally hemmed or do it myself if I decided to keep it.

The colors are all me it's still quite loose on the bottom.

My Thoughts 

I personally don't plan to keep any of the items for obvious reasons. Plus size clothing can be hard to size because one brand's 1X is not the same as another. I would've needed to size down on everything but I would've been taking a chance of something not fitting if I had done that.

It's also tough to allow someone else to style you blindly. Even though I filled out the style profile there were still items that I would have never picked for myself. Nobody knows your style quite like you.

Dia & Co is also very expensive. All of these items totaled close to $200, and that is much more than I would ever pay for 4 wardrobe pieces.

Have you ever tried a plus size clothing subscription like Dia & Co? What do you think of buying clothes this way?
