The Striped Shirtdress

Striped dress Yoko Girl, identical here - Yellow heels Tsubo - Brown tote bag Madison Coach - White patent vintage belt 

I've wanted a striped shirtdress for a while, but after my shopping ban I have been focusing on editing the closet, not adding.
But, sometime in May I got an email from Zaful offering to check their site and pick something in exchange for a product review. It seemed like a great opportunity to try products from this website.  So I began browsing, they had so many great items at fair prices. I originally wanted this tee shirt, but it was sold out. Then I saw the this striped shirtdress, it was just what I had in mind. 
After placing the order, it then took three months to arrive, but it did. The dress came in a flat plastic envelope and was really, really wrinkled. The fabric was nice and the bottom part of the dress was lined which is always a plus.
After I had it professionally ironed the dress took a new life. Now, I wish this dress had pockets and also wish it was not so high waisted. I ordered a large, following the size chart but its snug at the chest. So I guess if I had to order it again it would be a XL size.  This was the only garment I ordered and if I had to rate it from 1 to 10 it would be probably a 6, but mostly because of the sizing issue. Have you ordered anything from Zaful ? What has your experience been like ?

That dress looks really cute on you, and the length is perfect. I have had similar experiences with Zaful, things are never quite sized right, even if I follow the charts, and everything (including a wool fedora) arrives a wrinkled mess is a plastic bag.

I think this dress looks very nice on you. I love that you belted it for maximum shape. But yes, pockets would have been nice. I love dresses with pockets.

I've ordered from them before and you can find some great things, but I've always had to size up a lot and it takes so long for it to arrive. That dress is lovely on you though!

I think it's cute and the price was right. The sizing thing is a pain, and wow, 3 MONTHS?? That is a long time!

3 months is a very long time to wait, but this is a cute dress, I love striped pieces! :)

I've never bought from Zaful but I have from similar sites and it's always a bit hit and miss. Even with the sizing charts and measurements there's usually something I'll forget to check (like the length of a dress, oops!)
