Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing the black short sleeve chiffon dress from YoYo Melody.
For those of you who have never heard of this website, it is on online store based in China that sells a large array of fashionable items for reasonable prices. If you register on the site with the code "yoyo5off" you get $5 off your first purchase!
I wouldn't say that this review is sponsored exactly because I used the money that I made from cooperating with them to buy the dress. Either way, my opinions and thoughts on this dress remain aunthentic.
Now on to the review:
I placed my order on January 30th and received the dress on February 21st which wasn't all that bad. I was expecting a much longer wait but it got to me in less than a month which was really exciting. Here are some pictures:
The outer packaged was just a little ripped up but inner covering with the dress was still prefectly in tact.
And here is the full dress. Please excuse the poor image quality, I was unable to obtain a better camera at the time to take the opening pictures. (I do have better quality images of the dress below)
The quality of the dress is really nice. I loved the mesh part on top of the dress; I thought that the mesh would be too thin but it isn't so I don't have to worry about it tearing easily (which is a plus). It has a zipper to the side, buttons on the sleeves, and a button for the collar. It is sewn together rather nicely so I don't fear the dress falling apart. Here is the stock image:
My only issue with the dress is the collar. When buttoned up it is supposed to have that cute little open space in between the fabric on the chest as shown, however the collar doesn't allow the fabric to do that. The collar is also hard to keep down while buttoned up so I took the rest of the pictures with the collar down and unbuttoned.
Here are better quality photos:
I hope the rest of the images made up for the poorer ones earlier! Now its time for the rating:
Shipping:
It shipped sooner than expected but I admit I was always worried about it getting lost in the mail because the tracking information that was given to me didn't update itself often.
Quality:
The dress is beautiful; I absolutely love it. I love the mesh top and how light and sturdy the dress is. The stitching is done nicely as well. Usually when I buy from these types of store, the stitching is poorly done and I have to restitch it myself. Not the case with this dress! My only problem was with the collar and the fabric around it. The length was also a bit too short for my liking (but that wasn't a problem because I just wore lace shorts underneath it).
Comfort:
The dress was soft and light. It fit nicely with my shape and could easily be taken off with the zipper on the side (I hate dresses without a zipper of some sort).
Look:
Black dresses are perfect because they really go with anything. I can think of a number of shoes and accessories and tights that would go great with this dress.
Overall:
I am very happy with my experience from YoYo Melody and would purchase from them again. If you haven't checked them out, please do!
Thank you so much for reading, have a lovely day!
