Hufflepuff dress review

December 04, 2020

 


Hello lovelies,

last month I got my new dress from Miao Wu - The crimes of Grindelwald, the hufflepuff version of course. I bought it over Clobbaonline, the link is here, back in July. It was open for pre-order and I immediately took the chance. 


 

Three months later it arrived, neatly packed with the small Hogwarts chain in a separate plastic. I ordered the L version of it, because I was very unsure with the measurements but it ended up being a bit too big. I am still unsure what to do about it but I am thinking about doing a ribbon shirring over the actual shirring. 

The site stated the following measurements for the dress:

Size
Bust
Waist
Length(Not Including Shoulder Straps)
S
78-86
66-74
84
M
83-90
71-79
85.5
L
86-94
76-84
87

The larger end of Bust and Waist is the max after the back shirring is stretched(not the max). It's not recommended to stretch the back shirring for more than 6cm in case of tight fitting(For your reference only).

 

The yellow fabric is cotton and the black is velvet. The words hufflepuff and the hogwarts patch are directly machine-embroidered onto the fabric. The seams are straight and neat, and the ends of the thread were trimmed.

The dress has sewn in cups, and I am not sure why. I only know this cups from dresses were you can't or shouldn't wear a bra, like a ball gown. The lining is made out of a typical black polyester fabric.  The zip is on the side and it can be difficult to close, even while flat-laying it, because of the velvet.

The straps are adjustable. Therefore perfect for taller or smaller lolitas.

This is the separate clip I got, I am not sure where to put it though. It is not seen to be included in the worn pictures with the model, maybe it was just a goodie.


The dress is a bit on the warmer side, perfect for autumn walks and winter meet-ups. 

Cost: 

The dress was 72$ (~67,50€)

Shipping was 16,5$ (~ 14,50€)

So all in all less than 100€.


All the best,

Auris Lothol
