I’m plus-size and tried a bunch of dresses from House of CB – it was a mixed bag, some couldn’t even contain my boobs
A PLUS-SIZE fashionista decided to try a bunch of evening dresses from House of CB – but it was a total mixed bag.
Venezia Cruz, who lives in the US, is a plus-size fashion model and took to TikTok to show off her latest haul.
But it didn’t go as expected for the brunette beauty as the dresses weren’t consistent with size or quality.
Venezia said: “Okay, I got a little bone to pick with House of CB, because either I order something and it looks phenomenal, or I order something and it literally looks like I could have gotten it off of Aliexpress, and it’s horrid.”
The first dress the model tried on was a brown mini dress with cut out detailing and halter neck details.
While Venezia loved the look of the dress, she revealed that even though she ordered the larger cup size it still didn’t contain her boobs.
She said: “But also my issue is that my boobs start down here and the cup is up here.”
“They have two versions of their dresses,” she added.
“They have a large cup size and a regular.
“And I’m like a D, double D. This large cup size is not fitting at all.
To top it off, the dress was super short even on the 5ft7in model, meaning anyone taller would struggle to wear it.
Next was a black corset mini dress with detached sleeves, but Venezia couldn’t even get the sleeves up her arms because they were so small.
She revealed she didn’t even know how to get the sleeves on but once she did, it didn’t make any difference.
Venezia explained: “Okay, so I kind of figured it out, but it doesn’t even matter because this doesn’t even fit me.
“This is the largest size that they have. I can’t even get these, like, up over my arms to even, like, strap in, and the corset is just giving me such a box waist.
“It is not cute.”
The final dress was a red corset mini dress, and while the fashion fan much preferred the corset on it compare to the other dress, the bottom didn’t fit her thighs.
To make it worse, the dress was too big around her hips meaning it sagged over her stomach.
The haul was clearly not going well, but finally Venezia found a piece that fit so well it was practically made for her.
She tried on a baby pink corset top and added: “This corset was made for me.”
“Because the way that this fits me is amazing,” she revealed.
“The girls are sitting, The waist is waisting, I’m absolutely in love with this.”
The video has since gone viral with over 500k views and over 67,000 likes.
People quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts, and many agreed the brand could be hit and miss.
One claimed: “I used to work for House of CB let me tell u the quality and sizing for the price is seriously appalling.”
Another person commented: “Loveee the review, House of CB is definitely hit or miss.”
“Girl it’s a hit or miss with them,” penned a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth claimed: “Ty for warning because I was so happy they made large cup sizes and now I will not be ordering.”
“Love the honest review because I’ve been wanting to invest in some of their pieces but they’re a bit pricey for me & this helped sm,” wrote a fifth.
