Outfit of the Day


I'm very fond of my new dress from BlackMilk. It's a Burned Velvet Maxi Dress, black, naturally ;P I wore it to go to a museum since it was so unbelievably hot and I knew the Vapriikki museum has excellent air conditioning. It was a nice and cool way to spend the hottest hours of the day!



Dress - BlackMilk Burned Velvet Maxi Dress

I have to say I'm not crazy about their sizing. I have two short dresses, one is size S and one is M, because the S felt a tiny bit tight on me. The M doesn't fit me like I hoped, the hem starts to widen a bit too high, and I think this is because of the size being a bit too loose. But then again the tiny sleeves don't sit right, they want to rise off my shoulders in the size M. And I don't think my shoulders are that broad, even with the muscles the pole dancing has given me!
This dress is size S, and when it arrived it was very tight on the top. I had consulted the size guide at the website and checked if I read it wrong, but nope, my bust with a bra on is still 2 cm smaller than what the size S claims to be. I emailed the customer service and they got back to me, but the result was still that the fabric is so stretchy that it will loosen with wear to fit. I do expected garments to correspond to the measurements promised, so I feel it is a bit weird to have a sizing table when it doesn't match the products. But yes, the fabric does loosen with wear, but it would have been much more comfortable to be able to wear the dress comfortably from the start!

This is the reason I love the dress! So much fabric, the hem moves beautifully when I walk!
