Honestly, for the price, I cannot even justify putting more stars. I had high expectations for this dress as I own the spaghetti straps version in multiple colors and I'm obsessed with it. I thought this long sleeved version was so cute. Well, I honestly don't know what to think about what I received VS the price I paid.
First of all (see pictures), wtf is going on with the shoulders? It already looks bad on its own, but if I lift my arms up, the shoulder seam bunches up even more and it just looks horrible. This has for sure been edited on the model pictures. It looks so bad, it's super distracting. Plus, I purchased this dress in S just like all of my order pirouette baby doll dresses, which fit me perfectly, but this one does not fit the same. I find the arms slightly tight, but my biggest issue is the bust area - where am I supposed to put my boobs? I'm literally spilling out, which does not happen to me in my other pirouette baby doll dresses. This is not simply low cut: the only reason you're not seeing my nipples on the pictures is because I pushed them in, otherwise, everything would be out! I can pull the dress up, but it doesn't fit, you can feel and see that the bust part is just too small and that the bottom of the bust area sits on top of my boobs, not under. And doing that pulls the whole bodysuit part up, which makes the shorts ride up and just makes it less comfortable. It's also less flattering wearing it this way and I'm not convinced it would stay up. Like, if I had known, I would have sized up (though I'm honestly not convinced that the bust part would be large enough still - there simply is not enough material if you have at least SOME boobs), but why does it fit like that? This just seems like poor construction to me. The sleeves also tend to fall down a little bit as you move - so what would it be if I sized up? Also, where are the thumb holes? This dress would have been so cute with thumb holes... Not docking a star for that as it never stared to have them, but I don't understand why they weren't included, such a missed opportunity... I'm sorry, but how is this price tag justified? I'm so disappointed, this dress had so much potential, and I'm not gonna lie, this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth considering the price: this dress was NOT cheap. This dress is unwearable for me and does not fit the size chart.
I do not recommend this dress. If it had been cheaper I would have given it 3 stars, but considering the price, this is just so disappointing. This is the first time I'm gonna return a Popflex item, which also means paying extra for it. So disappointed that Popflex now seems to be cutting corners qualify wise, I'm not sure I'm gonna keep buying... I was sooooo excited to receive this dress and thought it was so cute that I could even wear it during the holidays... Nevermind...
Edit: Just received another Popflex item that massively downgraded quality wise. I think this might be the day I stop purchasing from this brand... Sad day...
