Lolita Dresses Shop Review I| Firestar & Co.

Hey guys! Welcome to my Lolita Dresses Shop I Review! I will be reviewing the Lolita Cotton Chinese Style Landscape Print Fold Tassel Flounced Stand Collar Long Sleeve Dress from Lolita Dresses Shop, along with the Black and Pink Cotton Short Sweet Lolita Skirt With Black Tulle Lace Trim Hemline (because they were in the same package). Let's go!



This is when I first got into Lolita style fashion. This dress and skirt that I am reviewing are my first ever Lolita pieces. When I explained the fashion to my mom, she mistook the name for the book Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov which is a very inappropriate book. I had some convincing to do. When I finally convinced her, I linked her to this website and she put a list together of possible things to buy. I got a few pieces in this package. This was also our first experience with buying from China, and their sizes run small, so some of the clothes in the first package were small on me because I ordered a small, which is my usual U.S. size, but in our next order, we tried medium, which is the size i always use when buying any clothes from China or Japan. Anyways, I was very happy with my package and I continue to order from them to this day. 

Note: This review is very picture-heavy.

Here is what the skirt looks like on me. The skirt was a bit tight because I ordered the wrong size, but it's still wearable. 
Quality: 4/5
The quality was good to begin with, but after a few wears, some of the decorations fell off. I still wear the dress, but with less decorations. Other than that, the dress stayed in one piece. The skirt was fine, but it was tight, which is my fault for not knowing better. The bloomers that I got were also tight, but that is still my fault.

Shipping: 5/5
I am very lenient with shipping, considering the website is located in China, and it took a few weeks to a month to get to me. I don't remember exact dates because it was very long ago. I didn't pay for expedited shipping. 

Communication: 5/5
I don't remember much, but I remember contacting them for something and they got back to me in a timely manner. Their English was very good, aside from a few grammatical and spelling errors, but that is to be expected coming from people who's first language is not English, but Chinese. The two languages are very different. From alphabet to sentence structure, they are just total opposites of each other. They got back to me in about a day to two days. 

Overall: 4/5
Everything was good about this company, I had no troubles, but the fact that the tassels fell off the dress after just a few wears brought the score down. I also bought a few pairs of bloomers with these, but I can't wear them because they are too tight and are uncomfortable. Again, my fault for not knowing better. I would buy from them again (and already have as you will find out in a few reviews), and recommend that you buy from them as well. They are good for people on a budget. Note: If you decide on buying something from them (and any clothing item from China or Japan or anywhere in Asia) get a (ONE) size larger than your US size. You won't have any problems if you do that.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my first multi-piece review! Go check out Lolita Dresses Shop at http://www.lolitadressesshop.com. More Lolita Dresses Shop reviews to come. I buy many things from them.

  2. I'm finally glad to see some positive reviews of the site. I've gotten things from them in the past but I keep seeing people claiming it's milanoo (I'm sorry i can never spell it) without even actually giving them a chance.
