Lace and Ebony's Crochet Dress in White, S
Review:
Made of smooth polyester which is very light, white is very slightly sheer even with inner lining. But i don't think its a big problem though! Features a side zip for easy wearing. The length is just nice, ends about 2 inches above the knees which is a flattering length for me. So, the selling point of this dress is the floral crochet/lace details at the waistband, which i admit is quite pretty:) Oh and it has pressed pleats as well. Its a pretty simple dress if you ask me, not much to complain about other than the slight sheerness and i find that the cutting is not flared enough for me. You know how some dresses are cut in at the waist to give a slightly flared cut but its not flared enough to make it super flattering? Yups i think this is one of those dresses!
TVD Summer Embroidered Sundress in Lilac, S
Review:
I don't usually go for these straight cut flowy dresses but it was on sale and i think the lilac embroidery paired with the cream base is really pretty!! I think that this will look nice on slightly taller girls who can pull off the straight flowy look without being overwhelmed. I like the sweetheart cut and its also elasticized at the back for a better fit:) I took S which i think fits UK4-6 best, because the elasticized back may make it abit tight at the PTP for UK8 and above. Its made of rough chiffon which is supposed of better quality than smooth chiffon. Because of my petite frame i have to pair it with the complementary sash so that the cut fits me:) For these kind of dresses, i don't simply tie the sash around, after tying the sash in a ribbon(see pics above), i pull upwards slightly so that the sash is partially covered and above the sash there is a slight poof. This gives more balance and make me look not so "column" shaped haha. Overall im quite happy with this buy! Super digging the lilac embroidery details!
