Thoughts:

I was so excited about this order. The Chinese dress is something I had been wanting since I first got to wear one in a fashion show. This one is nearly identical and was a good price. The fabric is thick and sturdy with embroidered dragons. There was a bit of a mix-up with the sizing but it worked out in my favor. I had ordered the 3L, since I was between the 2L and 3L; figuring it would be better to have it slightly too big than too small. The packaging says 3L and the dress tag says 2L. I checked the measurements and it matches with the 2L. So, I think the bag was mislabeled. Luckily it fits me well with the exception of a gap that shows when I raise my arm. I will see about adding a snap or just use a safety pin in the meantime. 

I am mildly disappointed in the bloomers. The fit is decent, but the leg openings are somewhat tight on my legs. I thought it had elastic or was adjustable with the ribbon. It is neither. I will be selling them sometime soon. 

I am super happy about the shoes. I have the off-white ones in size 26cm and found out they run a bit narrow/small. When I saw the black ones available in the next size up, I knew I had to order right away. The fit is definitely better for me. Hopefully they restock the off-white ones in 27cm so I can get them next time.
