![]() A heavy, chemical, rubber smell oozed from shoe box the moment I opened it. My main problem with the shoes is the smell that accompanies them. You can see the hems popping up to say hello through the lattice work. This becomes a problem around the see-through lattice areas down the center of the chest and circling the waist. My only other complaint is that since the dress is unlined with unfinished hems, the hems don’t lay flat. The dress is so tight around my thighs that I can hardly sit down! Again, I ordered a size 2 in this dress and I needed a size 4 or 6, even though (again) the size chart measurements would make it seem a 4 or 6 would be much too large on me. The dress remains form-fitting, almost bodycon, until it hits my knees, where a tiny flair can be seen, which is much lower on the dress on the model. However, there is no such flair at any part of the dress I received. Now, I’m much shorter than any model so dresses are longer on me. The dress on the model on the website shows a subtle flair from the model’s hips, creating a gentle bell that hits around the model’s upper thighs. The lace is rough and far from delicate, but I could overlook that. This beautiful blue lace dress is maybe the least problematic of everything I received. The material is thin and unlined with unfinished hems. I ordered a size 2 in the satin dress and I definitely need a size 4. ![]() Instead of the fabric lying flat and gently swooping under the chest like it does on the model, it puckers in odd directions, creating an unflattering silhouette to the chest. What makes it worse is the fabric is sewn in such an awkward way that it creates a “sagging boob” effect at the front of the dress. The fabric at the front of the bodice is sewn together below the chest so there isn’t an actual “wrap”. However, this is actually a faux wrap dress. The satin wrap dress is advertised as being an actual wrap dress. This was honestly the most disappointing item from the bunch. The jumpsuit is unlined with unfinished hems and is made with a thin, crepe material. With all of that being said, let’s break down the items I ordered. It also looks like the zipper doesn’t have enough room to zip around the fabric. The zipper track doesn’t allow the zipper to glide easily. ![]() Every single zipper on Pretty Little Thing’s clothing is almost impossible to zip on my own. ![]() ![]() In order for each of the articles of clothing to fit properly, I would have had to order two to three sizes above what the size chart says I should order, which shows how cheaply the clothes are made.Īnother quality issue I noticed are the zippers. Every single item is too small for me, which proves to me that the size chart does not accurately depict the sizes of the clothing you actually receive. When ordering all of the clothes, I studied the size chart to find my size, then ordered a size up. I think one of the main quality issues with Pretty Little Thing is the inaccuracy of their size chart. So instead, you’re getting a very honest review.īefore I dive into each article of clothing, I want to touch on my main concern. It became clear I couldn’t put my name on a positive sponsored blog post for Pretty Little Thing as I tried on each article of clothing. The rainbow and unicorn adorned package arrived at my doorstep and y’all… I went from elated to disappointed quicker than a popped balloon. I chose a series of items – a jumpsuit, two dresses, and a pair of heels – and the rep sent them my way. I had been curious about Pretty Little Thing for a while and had seen multiple video reviews from Youtubers like Patricia Bright, so I said sure and went shopping for a few items on their site. Several weeks ago, I received an email from British online retailer Pretty Little Thing asking if I would agree to a sponsored post featuring a selection of their clothes. ![]()
