Review of VainGloriousYou Capehart Floral Maxi in Patchwork, size S

VainGloriousYou Capehart Floral Maxi in Patchwork, size S - faveee!

Note: photos were lightened a little due to bad lighting.

This is my first purchase from VGY, and their customer service was impeccable. This size was initially out of stock, so they offered me size XS instead, to which I replied that I intended to head down to their physical store to try on XS first before deciding on it. Shortly after, I was told that they had contacted their supplier and managed to get hold on a piece in size S. What a pleasant surprise! Kudos to Eve and Tricia for their patience and friendliness - I've been blog shopping frequently over the past few years and this was truly a memorable experience. Thank you for your efforts too. I believe that excellent customer service is key to a successful business, and I hope that VGY continues to grow and be prosperous!

Now for the dress.. Nothing screams summer glam quite like the dainty floral prints on the cream coloured base. The dress fits my ptp and waist perfectly, leaving the rest of the cotton satin to cascade down my body gracefully. To me, it is imperative that clothes are lightweight due to the terrible humidity of our weather. As maxi dresses tend to be heavy due to their length, I was delighted to find out that this was not the case with this dress, even though it came with an inner lining. However, due to the light base colour and lightness of the dress, nude undergarments are highly recommended as my black undies are slightly visible underneath the cloth.

I've never worn maxi dresses before, so I'm not sure when I'll wear this out. Perhaps to my friend's upcoming wedding dinner. :)

Review of Her Velvet Vase Duet Swish Dress (Lipstick Pink, size S)

Her Velvet Vase Duet Swish Dress (Lipstick Pink, size S) - fave!

Had a hard time making a choice from the 4 colours - Purple, Skyblue, Cream, Lipstick Pink. I though pink was the most unique of the lot, but I was apprehensive about getting an all-pink dress as I've never though of myself as someone would can carry off the "saccharine sweet" look (I say pink fits fair ladies the best). However, I have no regrets buying this baby. Love how the light chiffon material sways as I walk. I dig lightweight clothes as they're great to wear in our hot, sunny weather. The low, cross-back and asymmetrical hem reminds me of similar dresses that contemporary dancers wear. The dress is fitting at the waist too. Nipple pads were worn with this dress (I prefer them to stick on bras as they are pretty much weightless). If a backorder is opened for this, I strongly encourage you all to get one for yourselves too!
