Review: Persunmall Peter Pan Dress

Friday, March 07, 2014
Here is the second dress I was kindly sent by Persunmall, I have already reviewed one dress, click here to see my review. Even though this dress was sent for review it does not change my opinion of the brand/product, for more information about my disclaimer, click here.
I have the *Persunmall Color Block Peter Pan Collar Dress ($18.99) in a size S, Small - again as with the first dress this one fits really well, I am a UK size 6 (for asos dresses) and a UK 8 and it fits perfectly. I am calling this dress my 'wednesday addams' dress as it is definitely from Wednesday Addams's wardrobe! 

I love the style of the dress it is cute but a bit gothic/Wednesday Addams. One thing to note with this dress is that it is VERY short - it is about four inches or more above my knee which is super short and I am only 4ft 10 inches! I would say that if you are taller than 5ft (as most people are!) then you will not be able to wear this dress, as a dress, it would be far too short! 

Anyway for my very petite frame this dress is great, if a little short. I love the long sleeves, the cute peter pan collar and the material is fairly thick so it would be fine in winter/spring. The dress has a waist band so it is flattering and skims over my slightly large hips...

Overall, I am really happy with the style and quality of this dress, I can see myself wearing it a lot and it could even double up as a halloween dress for a Wednesday Addams look (I have the hair for it too!). I wore the dress with my *oroblu tights and Newlook heels. 

What do you think of this dress? Have you bought anything from Persunmall? 

*Fashion Union Geometric Print Dress

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
I entered the Fashion Union campaign on Etail PR which is a free site that bloggers can join and you can enter campaigns where you may be sent items to review - however my opinions are my own. I entered the Fashion Union campaign which is still running and there were a lot of items to choose from for this campaign. For more information on etail pr, click here
I picked the Geometric Print Long Sleeve Mini Dress (£30) in the UK size 8 which is a great size for me. I heard of and bought from Fashion Union before I signed up to Etail PR and I bought a couple of jumpers in the sale. I find their clothing to be true to size, from my experience. The dress is described as mini but as I am just under 5ft it is longer and it is a couple of inches above my knee which is a really nice length for me, in my opinion. 

I love the print of the dress, is is monochrome and I just adore the print. The material that the dress is made of is really thick which would be great for the colder months but I find that it makes the dress quite rigid, this would probably not be the case after it has been washed though. The length and size overall are great but the arms and shoulders of the dress look quite boxy on my petite frame so I don't think it looks very flattering on me!

Overall, a good quality dress for the colder months with a classic, easy to wear print. However on me the dress looks a bit too boxy, structured and it would probably suit someone taller to be honest!
