VPonsale Dress Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the quality of a dress I received from Dress.vponsale.co.uk which is a website that sells custom made dresses for all occasions. I decided to let my older sister pick a dress out for herself since her wedding is coming up. The dress she picked is going to be her dancing dress for the wedding.
When purchasing from online websites, it's best to avoid anything that's made of chiffon because chances are, it will look very cheap in person. This particular dress is made of Taffeta and the quality of the fabric is very nice. The dress she picked is called a mermaid dress because it's very form fitting through the top and middle, with a skirt that flares out near at the bottom to resemble the shape of a mermaid’s tail.

Price: £144.88 (about $228 USD)
Color: Ivory
Fitting: The dress fits my sister perfectly but the bust area is a bit loose because my sister intentionally made it bigger so that she could wear a padded bra. lol
Impressions: Fabric quality is good, true to color on the website. The intricate details includes a mesh design that is hand sewn onto the dress. This insures that the beads won't come off. Unfortunately, there were a few hanging threads and a fabric marker was missed on a lace at the back (picture below). I had to hand wash that spot myself and cut away the threads that were sticking out. Other than that, I have to say that the dress fits the price.
Time of delivery: It took about a month to receive the dress after the measurements were given. This is expected since the dress is custom made.

Back view. I just love the corset!

 Little red marking on the lace. I washed it off a bit.

I love these! Despite the height (4 inches), these wedges are so lightweight and comfortable! The faux leather is made of a really soft material that doesn't aggravate my pinky toe like most wedge sandals do. I regret not getting another pair in Gold. :(  I got a size 5.5 and they fit me well. These were only $30 but I would have paid double for them. One of my best buys :)

Happy Friday!

Fashion at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS Gala 2011

Another day, another charity gala!

Naomi Campbell (with fiancé) in Givenchy Haute Couture. Some dresses only work on the catwalk.














































Rosario Dawson in Roberto Cavalli. Stunning. And she always looks so shiny and happy.
































Freida Pinto (see beau Dev Patel grinning in the background? Cute!) in Lanvin.




























Janet Jackson colour blocks wonderfully in Haider Ackermann. When did she get so slim?

































Kayne West (with Carine Roitfeld) looking like he'd rather be somewhere else.





























And the award for Fashion Perfection goes to Karolina Kurkova in Chanel Haute Couture. She looks perfect – the hair, the dress, the shoes – everything works. We want this entire outfit!
