DIM Small IG Shop Linen Dress
I bought this dress from a small creator on IG called robyn rodriguez from her brand gailandpablo then I recieved it and there's literally nowhere to post a truthful review so Im putting it here. I wanna make it clear that it is a legit shop and they did not scam me but boy expectations vs reality HIT like a TRUCK.
This dress cost 1079 pesos. that's pretty much the price of a uniqlo dress on sale but I wanted to buy from her because she says its locally made and slow-fashion. So i gave this a chance. I got size M and I got the Rêve in white. but I cant even post a picture of me wearing it because even just my room LED lighting makes this dress transluscent and Im not about to flash everyone my undies. Yes, even nude undies.
The linen is pretty premium. Though it isnt 100%, the percent is 70% cotton 30% polyester. It isnt bad as anything above 50% is still acceptable for that price point naman. But god the weave is so loose and it isnt really that quality. This dress is see-through!!! Moreover, the pattern they cut and the fit is just not flattering at all. There's no dart at the breast so it hangs weird. The arm hole is awkwardly cut. and the flare of the skirt is flimsy and it doesnt fit well because the pattern is too 2D and doesnt fit around the body well 😭😭💔. If you put anything in the pockets, it ruins the silhouette and again, it's see through with NO LINING. They advertise it as a layering piece but even then, it's just awful all around. Nagamit ko pa naman but more as a cover-up after swimming or beach (but i didnt buy it for that kasiiii 😢).
I will have to tailor this myself so it's salvageable pero kung ganito ako dapat sana bumili na lang ako sa cotton on or sa fast fashion in an irl store where I dont rely on pictures. hayst. anyway yun lang. nothing against the ig shop because these reasons are very much applicable for any clothes that you buy online. at least naka-support ako ng local 🥹
