Review: Bodyline L507


Okay I have made previous purchases before from Bodyline, but unfortunately I will just review this purchase I got. I mean Bodyline in my previous purchases I have are hit-and-misses. There are some I liked and some I didn't. I will definitely say for sure that the shipping and handling for packages for me have been very good all the time. Pretty quick shipping and packaging is alright. Never had any problems out of the 5-7times I have bought from them.

Onto the review: So as I said shipping and package was good (no problems at all). I did a group order with my little sister so that we can split the shipping to $5 each. And I decided I had to have this lovely skirt. It was just so adorable. I don't own enough skirt so I decided I need this in my wardrobe.

I know it is hard, but the print and details were just too beautiful to pass up. I really wanted the green so badly (because I'm a sucker for emerald & mint color). It was quite close to emerald and I felt the pink skirt blends too much of the pink already in it as you see it's harder to see the piano and such because they are also pink in the print. So in the end I decided the blue was just right for me. I felt more in the mood of pastel vintage color and wanted it to pop out. I bought the blue one in the end to satisfy my pastel color need. *A* I will say I am a sucker for fairy kei if that explains my need for a pastel skirt.

Here is how the skirt looks like on me with my petticoat.



(I forgot to mention it came with the pin bow as you see on the stock photo)

So as for the blue skirt when it arrived in my house yesterday, it was all how I imagined it to be. I felt this was the best piece of clothing I have ever gotten from Bodyline actually. It does look vintage because of the white laces and white print was as I imagined to be more ivory (I think that's the best way to describe the color). It was definitely not bright white or even offwhite I felt. I know the price being $40 was quite expensive for my budget of a skirt, but my expectations of this skirt was just as I expected to be (in a good way). I like how it looks more than the feel. I think it does feel a tad cheap quality, but in terms of looks, I already got a compliments just wearing it today. It looks just very lovely and honestly no one could tell that the material was cheap unless they touched it. A lot of Bodyline can all be pretty much put in the washing machine and I can tell that this skirt will do fine in the washing machine and that is one of the reason why I bought it. Something to wear that I don't mind getting it here and there and wearing it when I do not want to wear my expensive lolita skirt from Angelic Pretty (no really I love Angelic Pretty, but I treat the items I get form them with especially care).

Why I bought this skirt/What is good about it: I wanted a print skirt that is pastel and don't mind it being dirty. This skirt is like my default if I want to go lacey, but casual. I love how big the print is The price for what I got for it was really worth my money. Really easy to wash because of the material. Still lovely for cheap quality and compliments.

Downside:  I think honestly the downside to this skirt is that it is quite wrinkly when you get it from the package. I didn't mind honestly and as you see in my pictures I took of it, it does looks quite wrinkly compare to the stock photo of it at Bodyline. I think it is no biggie to me and it is suppose to be that way because it is suppose to give a ruffle look which result in some areas of wrinkles. Also a medium size is quite loose for me. I have a waist size of 28inch I have 1inch space of the skirt on my waistline. This skirt is zipper instead of shirring. I prefer those shirring skirt than zipper skirt, but it's okay I have no problem with this skirt since it still fits me.

Look: 10/10
Comfort: 10/10
Fit: 9/10
Quality: 8/10
Price: 8.5/10
Overrall (IMO): 9.5/10 (I am in love with this skirt!)
Recommend buying this again: YES!!!!!

On another note: My little sister was so shocked how my skirt looked like and surprised how lovely it really looked in person that she is currently setting off to get the pink skirt version of this.

Next: I am still waiting for my order from Oo Jia. I purchase Chess Chocolate Skirt (mint) & Toy Fantasy Saploette Bunny Hoodie (black). Can't wait!!!! \*O*/
