Spreepicky Review

Hi everyone (^ - ^)/
My order from Spreepicky just arrived so I thought I'd do a review for you guys. I was put off from ordering from Spreepicky because of their prices and being a student I don't have a lot of money. But since it was Christmas I decided to treat myself, they had a discount code for the holidays which saved me a lot at the end of my order which was nice. In the end it was also worth it because they make some of the clothes themselves which is handy for me since I'm plus sized, and shipping was free!

My initial thoughts when I unpacked everything was "wow it's so colourful" most of the items look so much prettier in real life. And I noticed that Spreepicky put some really cute hair accesories and other little freebies, the also sent me a cute little sailormoon postcard inside too :3



The first item I'm going to talk about is Princess-Misery design gravity falls fleece jumper, here are the photos:




The fit is quite good, the arms could be a little looser but it fits nicely enough. The inside is really warm and soft, the best thing is that the quality of the print on the fabric is really good, there's lots of cute details in the design. And it's super colourful! I love it so much





Another item I purchased was this Chibi moon jumper, I'd seen them on ebay for super cheap but I could never find my size. Luckily Spreepicky manufactures their own larger sized version so I could get the jumper that I wanted so bad. It's really nice and soff inside and the fit is really good, although I feel like it looks a little awkward on me because I have wide hips, so the jumper is a bit too tight on my hips. But it's still a comfortable size. 






The third item I'm reviewing is this custom made high waist sailor dress, I just thought it was so cute so I ordered it in pink. They don't have any photos of the pink one on their site though, so I used the blue photo. It's quite a nice pink, and it fits perfectly! It is made qith really good quality fabric and stitching which I was rather surprised by to be honest. I read other peoples reviews and they often complained that it was too short, for me I didn't feel as though it was too short but that's probably because I ordered a bigger size, my height is 168cm and it comes to above the knee, about mid thigh.






The Fetsu Chan shirt has a very nice design, although it is my least favourite of the items, if you buy the large size the print covers less of the shirt, and the design was a little pixelated although I do not mind that so much. It kind of adds to the style. I had to buy the mens size because  I was afraid that the womens size would not be big enough, if you are curvy or don't mind clothes tailor for men then it's absolutely fine though. It looks like something that is really easy to coordinate for fairykei, decora or just casually.





The last thing I purchased was this denim dress, It's the only thing I got that wasn't pink hahaha. I decided to get it because it's so difficult to find denim clothes in large sizes. This fits great and I'm quite excited to figure out how I will wear it.

Overall I thought that Spreepicky was great, the total cost of my order was $149.21USD or £101.23 and the shipping was free as I mentioned before, it arrived after about a week to arrived after it shipped out which is really fast. Although it took about a week after I ordered for my order to be dispatched, this didn't really bother me because delivery was quick anyway and some of the items were custom made. And it was super cute that they sent me a sailormoon postcard and hair accessories.

So I give Spreepicky 10/10

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope it was useful for you if you were looking for cute clothes and good quality,

Bye

Bodyline review

I've ordered from Bodyline twice in the past, this time I decided to order my first lolita dress which I've been extremely excited about (⌒▽⌒) I also ordered a purple seifuku and a Chinese dress, the reason I decided to make a review is because although there are many Bodyline reviews  out there I couldn't find a single review of their Chinese dress.

The shipping of my order took 
I ordered through airmail because it was free at the time I ordered and I usually avoid paying for shipping just in case the things I order don't fit so I don't want to accidentally waste a lot of money.

Here is the dress I ordered, it's Bodyline's balloon bears in mint which I love so much it's so pretty ♥‿♥











 I ordered it in the biggest size they had which is a little smaller than my measurements, it fits better than I expected although my boobs are a bit squished in it. The arm holes were quite tight so I took out the elastic and put a longer elastic back in.


Here is the seifuku I ordered in purple.

I actually wanted to buy one of the seifukus in the image below, but I already own a Bodyline seifuku in navy which had a large top but the waist band was a bit too tight. The seifukus in the image below  have smaller measurements than the seifuku I own so I decided to get a plain purple one in 6L, which I'll probably make a pink bow for later on.






The seifuku fits very well.

I suggest that if you buy a bodyline seifuku that you measure your waist and order the set that has the more comfortable skirt size. And then you can just alter the top by taking in the sides which is really easy, however this does depend on your body type.

And finally this is the China dress in blue, I ordered a size 48 which is a little bigger than my size. I decided to go for a larger size because I was worried that it might not fit, and since I can sew having a bigger size would not be a problem for me.


Excuse the crappy photo, I had to use a timer on my phone and I wasn't ready for the pic :/

As you can see the Chinese dress in the image (which I ordered) was long, but rather annoyingly they sent me a really short one that just about covers my butt. I checked Bodyline's website, and they don't even have this print in short. So i have no idea what that's about...

I contacted Bodyline about this and I am yet to get a response, I previously contacted them and got a reply within the next day. But now I've been waiting for a week...

The Chinese dress fit well over my bust and hips, but for some reason the shape assumes that you don't have a bottom because the measurement doesn't increase from the hip. So I had to cut the sides open about 10cm more and re-hem it. If your bottom or thighs measure more than your hips, then go for a size bigger.

I hope this review was helpful and that you enjoyed reading it, good luck for any future Bodyline purchases you make

Thanks for reading!
