Is Kim Kardashian's TikTok Viral Skims Dress Really Worth It?
The Skims Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress ($78) that went viral on TikTok comes in 10 colors in sizes from XXS to 4X. According to Input, the dress often sells out in specific sizes and colors, but it also restocks occasionally. Although the dress is bodycon, wearers reported that it feels like butter against your skin, unlike typical shapewear and loungewear. While several commenters noted that the garment is long, Input revealed that tugging the curve-hugging dress up produces a nice ruching effect without tripping over the extra length on the floor.
Refinery29 checked out the dress' fit for plus sizes. Writer Chichi Offer tried it in black and size 3X, and she worried when she opened the package. "It seemed so slim, so I was worried it'd hug my body in a way that made me feel uncomfortable and restricted," she said. "It's very common for some brands to carry clothing in what seems like extended sizing that doesn't actually fit plus-size bodies, so I was worried that would be the case with Skims." Once Offer put on the dress, she loved it, though.
Others who tried the popular frock noted that it had stretchiness while remaining opaque, which surprised them. In all, it seems if you have $78 and can find the dress in the size and color you want, it's worth a try.
