I Tried the Wonder Woman Line for Curvy Nerds & Felt Like a Superhero
Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman has completely won the hearts of every DC Comics fan. She's fierce, she's feminist, and Gadot even shot parts of the movie while pregnant like a total goddamn badass.
The thing is, we ladies of every shape and size have a little of that fierceness inside us too. To celebrate the power of Wonder Woman (and, by proxy, womanhood in general), plus-size retailer Torrid worked with Her Universe to bring an entire capsule collection to curvy and nerdy babes centered around the super icon herself.
I decided to give a few of the pieces a whirl to see if they'd make me feel like an Amazon goddess IRL -- here's the verdict.
First up was this stretchy skater dress that looked like a comfortable version of Wonder Woman's badass armor.
I'm a size 16/18, which means I fit into Torrid's sizes 1 and 2. At a size 1, this fit like a glove, but if you like a little more room, I suggest sizing up.

IT'S. FREAKING. REVERSIBILE.
Emblazoned with the Wonder Woman symbol, this badass dress just totally became worth the money. Because who doesn't love getting two dresses for the price of one?!

Next up was this far more subtle, peek-a-boo dress.
I actually really loved this dress, and could totally see me wearing it out on a girl's night. This dress follows more traditional sizing and I was shocked to discover a size 14 fit me really well.

My favorite thing about this dress though was the Golden Lasso of Truth belt.
The belt actually loops around the whole waist, but I kind of loved how it looked hanging there.

The last piece I tried was this varsity looking satin bomber jacket.
While I kinda felt like I was on the boys' wrestling team with this piece, I did love how light and luxurious it felt. It's sort of perfect for spring, and pairs great with jeans and a simple top.

What I loved most about it was the back detailing.
I felt like I was in the coolest girlgang EVER.
Overall, I was super into this line. It was quirky, fit well, and had a good balance of style versus nerd reference.
My curves felt pretty damn wonderful.
