Fashion Review: Fabslay-For the girls that get it

Fashion is a powerful way to express who you are. It speaks before you do. Your clothes? They do all the work. They show your style, personality, and even your confidence. That’s why fashion is such a big deal. It makes people remember you.

Think about it: when you hear “Tyla”, what pops into your head? A miniskirt and a baby tee, right? Because that’s her thing. It’s what she wears all the time, and now, it’s just her. And Rihanna? Baggy jeans and bold accessories or a show-stopping red carpet moment. You see her outfit and go, Yep, that’s Riri.

That’s the magic of fashion. It allows people to identify your presence from anywhere at all. Whatever way you dress is how you’ll be perceived. Dress like a tomboy and be recognised as a tomboy. Dress like a soft girl to be seen as one. It’s simple. So, you must be particular about the way you style yourself. Fashion is a big part of personal branding, and it calls for intentionality.

Lately, more women are leaning into softness. They’re moving away from stiff trends and going for outfits that feel elegant but easy—if that makes sense. You see, fashion is changing, and brands are scrambling to keep up. Everyone suddenly wants more soft, feminine styles, and guess what? There just aren’t enough to go around! Even the fancy luxury brands are throwing out new collections like confetti, but somehow, it still feels like we need more.
That’s where Fabslay comes in.

Fabslay is a fashion brand founded by Gladys Ebiawurubo. This fashion powerhouse knows exactly what women want—clothes that look good and feel better. No weird, uncomfortable designs. No “fashion but make it painful” nonsense. Just stylish, high-quality outfits that make you feel like the best version of yourself.
They believe fashion isn’t just about throwing on clothes but about showing the world who you are—feeling confident and amazing.

And guess what? They just dropped their 2023 collection. So, let’s check it out—because I know you’re curious.

Interesting!

This dress is like a perfect hug; it fits just right. And can we talk about the colour? Muted sky-blue goodness. It’s just a fancy way of saying it’s a really pretty shade for all seasons.

In spring, some pastel clothing accessories will go so well, keeping it light and fresh. And in the fall, you can throw on some deeper tones for a warm and cosy look. It is effortlessly chic and can be considered perfect for ladies who want to embrace their femininity.

Now, to the sleeves, it fits perfectly. It is clean and straight, with no puffiness. The turtleneck is high enough to be modest but not so tight that it feels restrictive.

This dress hugs the body in all the right places and flatters the figure. There’s no excess fabric hanging around, no weird bumps or lumps. It just has that smooth and tailored fit that makes it seem like you planned your outfit, even if you just grabbed it last minute.

While the body-hugging fit is flattering, it might feel restrictive or become very tight for some wearers, especially in some periods of the year. Hence, to accommodate all body types and sizes, it would be perfect if the designer could add side slits to allow for easier movement.

The waist has a little cinch that gives that hourglass look. There is no need for belts or any extras; the dress works for you. It traces your shape, skims over the hips, and falls straight down to your ankles.

You know, ankle-length dresses have this way of making you look like a soft babe and a boss babe at the same time. And this one?

It sure knows how to do its thing. It stretches naturally, allowing for easy movements. This length also adds to the dress’s versatility.

Plus, it’s a mix-and-match dream. You can simply throw on kitten heels, and it gives a fancy look. Switch to boots, and you’re cool. Rock some flats, and you’re ready for a laid-back day.

This dress has no excessive details; it is just a clean style. It’s the kind of piece that works for almost any occasion. A dinner date? Perfect. A work event? Absolutely. A casual day out with the right accessories? Yes. You can consider it a blank canvas that lets you play with styling.

This dress is a mix of chic and comfort. It proves that simplicity can be striking when done right, letting you feel confident by just slipping it on. It is minimal, versatile, and undeniably a wardrobe essential.

Next on the list? Let’s see what we have here.

What’s the vibe it’s giving? Confidence? Elegance? Maybe a little bit of “Oh yeah, I know I look good.” Because, not gonna lie, this dress? It’s the dress.

First things first, the fabric. It’s stretchy but not in that weird or cheap way where it loses shape after one wash. Nope. This is the good kind of stretch—the type that moves with you and makes you feel hugged, not squeezed. You know those dresses that make you hold your breath all night? This isn’t one of them. You can eat. You can breathe. You can dance freely in it.

Let’s talk about black. Black is fashion’s best-kept secret weapon. Black is simply powerful. Mysterious. The colour equivalent of a slow-motion entrance in a movie.

Now, let’s address the sleeve—or, should we say, the singular strap. This dress ditched the traditional two-sleeve life and said, “Nah, let’s be different.” And honestly? It works. That one strap over the shoulder is serving effortless fashion. And the ribbon tie at the side? It’s like a little surprise feature, just hanging there, all cute and playful. It would be suggested that the one-shoulder is supported with an internal structure to prevent slipping. For instance, a hidden silicone grip could make the dress more comfortable and secure.

Okay, this part? Chef’s kiss. It’s got that one-shoulder design, which already makes it look fancy. But then, boom—there’s that little cutout in the front. Just enough to make things interesting, but not so much that it’s too much. It’s giving confidence.

It’s giving style. It’s giving “Yes, I know you’re looking.” While the cutout of this outfit gives it a sultry vibe, it is a bit too aggressive and overexposed. The designer needs to scale back the cutout with a sheer overlay to soften its impact.

This would maintain the sexy vibe and make the dress more wearable for a wider audience.

Ever tried on a dress that just hangs there? Like, where is the shape? What is the vision? Well, this is NOT that dress.

This one hugs in all the right places without feeling suffocating. It follows the natural shape of your body, smooth and sleek, without a bunch of unnecessary fabric getting in the way. It’s fitted but not tight—there’s a difference.

This dress goes down to the ankles, which automatically makes it look fancy. But don’t worry; it’s not the kind of length that makes you trip over yourself. It’s got that perfect length where you can still walk (or even run if necessary, but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that).

This dress is a chameleon. It can be fancy. It can be casual. And you’ll still look like a million bucks. There are several ways to style this. Going all-out glam? Pair it with sleek heels, bold earrings, and a clutch, or you want to keep it low-key. Throw on some strappy flats and loose waves in your hair, and keep the accessories minimal. Anyway, if you choose to style it, you’re already that girl.

This dress is for the ladies who want to turn heads without saying a word. It’s stylish and just a little daring. It doesn’t scream for attention—it simply owns the room. Oh, and it’s wearable, too. You won’t be adjusting straps, pulling things up, or constantly fidgeting. It lets you just exist—and look amazing while doing it.

So yeah, if you’re looking for that one dress that makes you feel like you belong on a red carpet (or at least the best-dressed guest at the party), this might just be the one. Would you wear this? Or are you more of a two-sleeve, zero-cutouts kind of person?

Alright, let’s wrap this up. We’ve talked about the brand, drooled over the outfits, and we’ve imagined ourselves strutting around in them like we’re walking a Paris runway. So what’s the final verdict?

Fabslay just gets it. It understands that fashion isn’t just about looking good but feeling good, too. The pieces we reviewed are giving confidence, drama (the good kind), and that effortless soft-girl vibe. And let’s be real, there’s something for everyone here. Fashion should be fun. It should make you feel like the best version of yourself. And it is safe to say this brand already nailed that.
