thanks for your honest and detailed review! i love how you went over important details a lot of reviewers overlook, such as adjustable straps, cup size, how the fabric feels, whether or not there is boning and where!

It's quite disappointing to see that the quality is not up to par, I've been thinking about getting a House of CB dress but will just stick with dupes for now. Love your recs for dupes!

If the fit was better i think i could have over looked all the loose threads! But they definitely are making dresses for barbie dolls!! I’m still debating keeping the tatiana!

I’ve been looking for a dupe of the maribel dress thanks for your reviews! 💕💕

LOVE the Perle and Tatiana dresses! House of CB doesn’t ship to Hawaii so I have to order thru Nordstrom. I went for the Tatiana in the white floral print and cannot wait to try them on. I really wanna get the Pearle next but not sure when/where I can use it too 🤗 You look GREAT on them!!

Thank you for this informative video! You just helped me save my money lol!

Thank you for this video.. im currently creating a dress pattern for the “tatiana” dress and the upclose helped me perfect it!

@@SeaofBlush loool. Thats my next project! Except im going to make the cups bigger to fit my large frontside! Ill post it on my channel once im donee

I also noticed that the size has become smaller, because when Tallulah came out I bought it in a Small and I bought Carmen also in a size small and it was way too small, and I still git in the Small Tallulah

For the price I wish they would let you pick the exact cup and dress size so that it's a better fit for everyone. I am also an A cup size and it's so hard to find a stress that fits in the cup area.

You have to be careful with zippers when there’s a lot of fabric. You have to pull the garment down tight as you zip and make sure it’s not eating any of the fabric.

Thanks a lot for this great and detailed review - If you don’t mind could you share your waist and hip sizes as I’m also not sure whether I’d fit into their S or M. For the waist I’m in the beginning range of an S but then for the hips closer to the end range of the S. Most of the dresses are like are A-line skirts so I’m hoping they’d fit the hips. Given your review of sizing up - Id have gone for M but they’re mostly out of stock in M - so not sure if I should risk the S or not bother at all. One other thing did they ship within the timeframe they gave you? Appreciate your advice! Thanks a lot!

hey there! I actually list my measurements in the description box (25 waist, 36 hip). only one of the dresses was kind of fitted in the hips. I also bought everything from Nordstrom and not directly from House of CB because I trust Nordies return policies. They shipped pretty quick too!

If your zipper gets stuck on a seam, rub soap along the zipper teeth in that area to help smooth it. Then zip it (not on the body) gently but firmly over and over. When you go to put it on, you need someone to pull the sides together so the fabric is not taut, and then zip. This happens because the extra amount of fabric. These all look so gorgeous on you! I’m using your video as inspo to sew my own!

Insane how they can sell dresses for that price not 100% cotton and inconsistent sizing

Hi! Did you find the fabric on the Carmen dress to be really noisy and shiny? I thought it was a cotton dress and I purchased it from vinted, I’m starting to suspect it’s not real!

@SeaofBlush

10 ай бұрын

Actually yes!! Its a cotton blend it’s got a weirdly smooth texture! Its the nylon that’s in it! I wouldnt say its shiny but does have a sheen, it feels like cheap table cloth material 😂

I find sizing with them VERY inconsistent. Ranging from can't even zip up to a little too tight. If I repurchased, I'd go a full size up.

I have a small waist and big boobs but im a mum of 3 and still breastfeeding so my breasts are very saggy. I also have concerns about the bra part of the dresses but for different reasons.

I think the styles with the underwire under the bust might work for you!

You look gorgeous in all the dresses, but I agree….if you’re paying that much…the dresses should fit correctly and there should not be threads hanging off the clothing. Just be aware on the reformation dresses that are made from viscose material. Viscose material tends to shrink A LOT. I had 4 out of my 6 reformation dresses come back about 3 sizes smaller from the dry cleaners. I think the cleaners must not have handled the material correctly too. I do know it has a tendency to shrink. Very upsetting as I was then out $900 worth of dresses and reformation would not help me. Make sure to size up when it’s made of viscose. Also do not leave a viscose dress in your car in the sun & heat. It completely discolored my beige floral dress into an ugly orange dress. Please learn from all my mistakes with reformation clothes. They are way too expensive and way too pretty to be made useless so quickly. Reformation offers zero help whatsoever even if you follow their instructions and take their clothes to the dry cleaners. Buy at your own risk. But I will say they are extremely flattering and beautiful dresses. I am extremely interested in the new House of CB Adabella dress…it is gorgeous, but I’m hoping it comes to Nordstrom soon….i don’t want to pay hefty shipping fees to return it to the U.K. if the fit is wrong.

hmmm my ref dresses have not shrunk, and most of them are viscose. i washed them in the washing machine too in cold hand wash cycle. although i do have one dress that feels a bit tighter but i think it's because i gained weight 🤣

@@SeaofBlush lol my mistake was probably taking them to the dry cleaners. I probably should have just washed them myself. I did read about something called “blocking” where the dry cleaners can stretch the material back out. I might try that. Worth a shot. :)
