Once again I got the chance to review a product of my choice from @devilinspiredofficial's website. Since I always seem to have too many dresses, but never enough tops to got with them, I chose a blouse this time. I decided on a "autumn or winter" (their words) blouse by Infanta. I already own a bunch of things by Infanta and especially like their blouses, so I knew that it was going to be a good one. 

The package arrived in less than a week and the blouse was well packed and protected. Unfortunately, it had quite a strong chemical smell, but it's hard to tell whether it's from the plastic wrapping or if the fabric itself was smelling so much. Luckily, after 2 days in fresh air the smell went away. My first surprise was that the description of the blouse as an "autumn or winter" item was no lie or exaggeration. The blouse is fully lined with a very soft fleece material and super warm and cozy. In fact, it might actually be a bit too warm for me, as I get hot easily. However, it will be the perfect item to wear to outdoor Christmas markets. The fit is great, the design is neat and I can find no flaws, except for a few longer threads around the button holes, which are easily removed. 

This is the part where I would write about Devilinspired's customers' service, timeliness of shipping and communication, but since I did not pay for the blouse, I feel like I can say very little about that. The 2 people that I was in contact with were very nice and answered promptly to my emails, but I don't know if they also do regular customers' service and if it is handled the same way. As you know, Devilinspired is a reseller of Chinese brands. Therefore they are not directly responsible for the quality of the products they are offering, but have choice over what brands they decide to resell. I appreciate that they don't resell replicas (except for some bags by Loris), therefore making it easier for new lolitas to not accidentally buy a replica (Let me know if I overlooked a replica. I know a lot of brand designs, but definitely not all of them, so I might have missed one). Since they are a reseller and make their money by, literally, reselling stuff, the products are a bit more expensive than if you would buy directly from the brand's store. In exchange, the ordering process is quite simple and their staff speaks perfect English. On Devilinspired's website, the blouse is listed for 48,95€. If you were to buy it directly at Infanta's Taobao store, it would be about 28€. This is quite a mark-up, so I went on to see whether I could order the blouse directly from Infanta's Taobao store. Long story short: probably no. Taobao as a market place has recently tried to widen their customer base and now offer international shipping. Sadly, only to a few countries so far, and the European Union is not a part of it. I've heard of people contacting Infanta directly via email and asking if they would send them products, but that involves emailing strangers, dealing with translating Chinese and not having the total security of knowing whether you were understood correctly and will actually receive what you wanted. In my opinion, using a reseller (in this case Devilinspired), makes the ordering process a lot easier and clearer. You have to decide for yourself what you prefer. Last, but not least, I want to thank Devilinspired that I got the chance to receive a free blouse and got to write about it. I really appreciate it and I hope I managed to write an honest review. <3

PERSONALIZATIONPRODUCT Lolita Dress Review

Dani's review:

This is a review for the Ebay store personalizationproduct. Visit their store here.

Since this store is on Ebay, you do have to bid to buy items. They have buy-it-now options for much higher prices, so I say you might be better of bidding. I'm totally Ebay addicted, but I don't know about you guys. It's your choice.

I bought four dresses from this store, so I'll be reviewing all of them individually. 

The first dress I'm reviewing is this one

It's a pink gingham dress that kind of reminds me of the wizard of oz! It fits very nicely. The lace is fair-quality cluny-inspired (think crocheted) lace. The dress is made out of pink and white cotton/poly. It has ruffled sleeves and ruffles all around the bottom. It also comes with a bow to put around your neck, but i like to wear it in my hair. It really brings the coord together.

The fit of the dress is great. I'm slightly more endowed in the bust area so I was a little worried about the fit of the dress upon ordering it (I ordered a size small). However, I shouldn't have been worried. The dress accommodated all of my body, bust and all!!! (the waist ended up rising a little higher than I expected, but it was still very close to my natural waist) Note that this dress does not come with corset lacing on the back, but rather a zipper and waist tie.

The dress is of standard lolita length and looks lovely with my square-dance petticoat (a cupcake petticoat is not quite as flattering with this dress imo)

I like to wear this dress with a straw hat because it reminds me of a country lolita dress. I've worn it to a few picnics/outings and people always give me loads of compliments. The dress is very comfortable and I don't have any problems wearing it on hot days. I sometimes wear it with a short-sleeved blouse underneath for modesty. 

Overall, I love this dress. It is comfortable, adorable, and didn't break the bank.

_________________________________________________________________

Price: $58 (shipped - so this won't break your budget!)

Comfort: 4.5/5 this dress is somewhat transparent in some areas because it isn't lined, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a decent slip

Shipping: 3.5/5 this dress came from China, so the shipping wasn't exactly cheap or fast. It took about 2 weeks for the dress to arrive. It came wrapped in plastic with packing tape. I ordered a few dresses from this seller so they came together. The dresses were neatly folded and packed in plastic. The shipping required that someone be there to recieve the package (unfortunately, i was out of town) so the post office left a note and I had to pick it up.

Communication: 5/5 fantastic! The seller messaged me within an hour asking what size I would like to order. 

Product: 5/5 It's not a brand dress, but it still looks nice and feels good on. I definitely recommend this store!

Hello!

Hello, we're Dani and Lilly. We're both sixteen years old. This our brand spanking new blog! We're going to be reviewing lolita and other cutesy clothing. Our goal is to review items under $100. We may review more expensive items in the future, but we'd prefer to review lower-budget items for now. We're not the kind of people who like to spend a lot of money, so we've been looking for lower-budget off-brand items on the internet. As nice as these items look, we sometimes worry about buying them because they can sometimes be a scam or less than what we expected. Naturally, we looked for reviews online. However, there were almost no reviews for some websites!!! And the reviews that did exist were either too short or outdated. So we want to be the solution to this problem!!!!!

So, here is our review blog, dedicated to the everyday lolita who doesn't want to spend too much on her clothes! Thank you for visiting!
