Urkye was the first fuller busted clothing company that I started wearing. And I love their shirts! I own four of their wrap shirts, two with long sleeves and two with short sleeves. This week on Instagram, Urkye showcased three new colors of their long-sleeved wrap top: cherry red, bottle green and plum violet.
Most likely, I will not be purchasing a new wrap top because how many wrap tops can I actually wear and own? Below are the two long-sleeve wrap tops that I currently own.
I tend to wear the black top more often (one of my short-sleeved wrap tops is also black). I wear a lot of black clothes, so this is not a huge surprise.
The blue wrap has gotten less wear – but I do still wear it.
When I first started shopping at Urkye the largest size in stretch shirts was 44 00/000. As you can see the 44 00/000 is tight on my back. There is a now a new larger size 46 00/000 and if any of these beautiful new colors come out in dress form I might try the larger size.
Have any of you had success with Urkye tops and dresses?
I have a number of the wrap tops, in both long and short sleeves, and they are my go-to knit tops. I have not had good luck with their dresses, however, as I am 5’9″ and the waistbands or waist seams hit up around my ribcage. I too find the size 44 oo/ooo to be tight across the back, which causes the back of the top to ride up, so I am constantly tugging at the back and pulling it down. Now that I am able to get size 46 oo/ooo, I find the 46 find to fit and stay in place much better. They are more flattering as well, as the ruching drapes much better rather than being stretched out. I got them in all three of the new colors as well as navy. and am glad I ordered when I did, as the green (my favorite color) and navy are now sold out in my size. I hope they will continue to offer more styles in size 46, or even consider adding a size 48.
I have noticed sizes go fast at Urkye! I’ve only had luck with one of the four dresses I have ordered from them. I also find the waists to be very high on me. This sheath dress is the one that works on me https://urkye.pl/en_US/p/Dama-pik-w-czerni-Dress/550https://urkye.pl/en_US/p/Dama-pik-w-czerni-Dress/550. I haven’t worn it much since it’s not the type of dress I would wear everyday. I keep wanting to order the wrap dress, but always stop because I don’t want to have to mail it back to Poland.
