New stuff.. not!

I was very much looking forward to my dresses I got from BonitoChico, since I have heard quite a bit of reviews of their designs, and I did very much like what I saw.

After weeks of waiting for the backorder, finally received the package today, and it was a pleasant surprise because unlike other 2 blogshops I had purchased from, there was no indication of they were sending the pieces out, but I like the surprise when I suddenly found it in my mailbox after a long wait.

I was jokingly telling someone I have barely any patience for backorders, cos I had wanted to wear it to a function recently.

But it still pretty much reached me within the stated timeline given, so that’s a definite plus for it.

I first unwrapped it and really like the material of the top which was really comfortable and of good quality. The chiffon dress was a little thin but it looks pretty, and I was very much having high hopes for the satin toga dress.

I quickly headed home and did my laundry and took a bit of time to try them on, taking for granted all will be pretty much a great fit like it was with the other 2 blogshops. I requested for all 3 for the same size.

First, the white top.

It was great, of comfortable material and I really like the material that feels casual yet gives a formal look when required. Just what I need for work to go with the daily jeans.

And the back was pretty as well.

I tried it on and it is a very nice piece, but was a tad too loose for me so it looks very boxy on me, so perhaps I might need to tailor it a little.

Or just eat more and grow into it :)

So onto the next, was the navy blue chiffon dress.

When I first tried it on, I realised the band was little high for me, since I got a relatively longer body, so the band rests awkwardly higher.

Then, the saddest part that reminded me of my food intake was when I couldn’t zip up at the armpits, when I adjust it, I realise the dress is really pretty just that, I CAN’T FREAKING ZIP UP AT THE ARMPIT COS I AM TOO FAT. BOOHOOHOO.

But because it is backorder, and also in their terms and conditions they stated they will not do refunds or exchanges, so I thought I might want to sell it here, cos seriously, if I need to lose more weight to fit into it when I am thinking of putting a wee bit more weight to fit into the white top, then… I can’t possibly own 2 at the same time.

I so flat already also cannot zip up at boobies part, so if you are slimmer but have massive mammaries, please give this a miss.

Then.

Onto the last piece which I really liked, the toga dress.

Before I put it on, I tried to unzip the dress, but the zip was faulty and wouldn’t go beyond halfway.

So by now, I was quite disheartened and disappointed.

Nonetheless, one of the things I like about their dresses is that, the band is always slightly elastic, on the back.

And since it could open till halfway, I took my chance to try on the dress, which I manage to.

It was quite a good fit on top, but the real hell was when I was trying to get out of it due to the faulty zip.

I think I might have to bring to the tailor to replace the zip. But knowing how lazy I am, that would probably take a bit of time to materialise.

I like another piece from the blogshop, but I am not sure if I should risk the disappointment and try again?

Nice hor? I want to get, but then still contemplating. And from the picture, it looks like the cutting is good. Decisions, decisions. The problem is if I can’t change it, then I would be having more problems at hand like the blue one I don’t know how to get rid of, or have to go through the trouble with the zip alteration like the toga dress.

Another piece was the same piece and material to the red rose dress I got from Paperbagheads, so I am quite confident of the cutting, but not sure if I should be so indulgent to get the same dress in another colour.

Now I just hope my Victoria’s Secrets will fit well, or else my friends will know what they can expect for Christmas.

How anyone want to buy the blue dress off me? Or suggestions of what I can do with it, or alter it to fit my fat armpit(but too small how to alter)?

I am gonna sulk. Cos I didn’t get the therapy I needed from this dosage heh.
