pardon me for the lack of reviews. it's been a crazy december!
LB Fantine Dress (M)
So glad that i decided to get this dress in the end. Was there during the launch, but i decided not to get it. After thinking for a few hours, decided that i wanted the dress, and lucky me got a piece due to deadbuyers!
The material of this piece is rather silkish and quite thin. i was quite surprised, given that i was expecting something thicker. nonetheless, it feels rather comfortable on the skin. The measurements on the website seem a little small. i was kinda contemplating whether to size up, but thank god i didn’t (every time i decide to size up, it always ends up too big). M size fits me perfect. Fits like a glove at the waist, and there’s still allowance at the ptp. As the material of the dress is not so structured, the elastic band of the top tends to pull the material backwards, so there might be unsightly pit and bra lines from time to time.
The dress comes with soft boning at the side. the boning is really soft so it doesn’t hold up the dress that much. Just enough for it to look good, but not restrict the movement of the upper body. LB also put in detachable straps for those who want to wear this dress with straps. As for the colour, i think the prints are quite nice except for the little red patches. i’m not so much of a red colour fan, so that was initially my concern. but overall the dress still looked pretty!
A nice dress, but i definitely find it really pricey for $36 without postage.
FMTP Corporate Beauty Tulip Dress (Monochrome Dots, M)
2 reviews from FMTP (flymetoparis)’s recent collection. The cobalt blue corporate beauty tulip dress in cobalt first caught my eye, but after looking at it during the launch, i decided to get a printed version instead! Didn’t know that MGP had previously launched something in a similar print, but oh well, FMTP’s version looked like it had a good cutting too, so i decided to give it a try. The sizing’s great for me. comfortable with allowance at the ptp, figure hugging to show off the waist, and tulip shape at the hips, so it’s really good to hide big hips! I think the printed version will look good with black cardigans or black blazers, which is why i decided to get it in the end. Comes with 2 functional pockets at the side, which is really cute and convenient.
FMTP Lady in Confidence Dress (White Geometric Print, M)
Another printed dress that caught my eye because it looked corporate-y. A gorgeous checkered look. Didn’t expect this to be so form fitting for me. Fits snug at the ptp, waist and hips! I kinda wanted it to have a little loose feeling so that it will be appropriate for work. now it feels like it’s a bit more for party! :p The material is great. Not sheer. Quite stretchy, so i think M will fit great on a UK8. Still contemplating whether to keep it so email me if interested. Selling $33 mailed. :)
