Satin Dresses – Perfect Fit OR a Disaster?

Okay so recently I ended up ordering a satin dress for my birthday as I wanted to try something bold and completely opposite to my personality. I was deep down confident that I will easily rock the satin gown outfit as the cloth looked so rich let it be the color or the pattern. After the ban on shein I has been difficult to find humongous variety in clothing while staying in budget . So buying anything experimental and exclusive is always risky. If you people are wondering from where I got the satin dress here are the details:

Brand : Closet Hues

Instagram handle : @closet.hues

Website : closethues.com

About the Brand:

I found this brand through instagram and after seeing so many people experimenting the clothes after ordering them from instagram brands I felt the need to give this a try. So I ended up ordering the satin dress from closet hues. A little information about the order I made, this brand has two different cloth category : pre order and ready to dispatch. If you order a clothing item from ready to dispatch means the item is already ready and will need just 4-5 in shipment where as if you order an item under the category pre order then the shipment takes much longer time which is estimated to be 20-25 working days.

Product Experience:

I received the product in about 15-20 days. I was a little skeptical about the cloth type satin in particular. Satin is something which is a very firm cloth piece and nowhere flexible. So if you end up messing the size estimation you can totally ruin your experience with the cloth satin. This is the exact thing that happened, when I got the dress it seemed to fit me and when I tried it was all okay on the waist, perfect fit on things but we got messed up in the bust area. Satin being satin was nowhere flexible and the dress couldn’t fit me properly. The fitting was so unusually wrong, I felt there was something I am being wrong at. I found a measuring tape and measured the bust size and it came out to be 32 but the size I ordered stated 34-36. This was a silly mistake from the brand side. This was not at all expected and my birthday plans got ruined for good.

Read the Policies Beforehand:

Now this is when I learned that it is very important to go through the website/brand policies so that if you mess up your order and you need to place a return/exchange you should be in a good position to do so. When I knew I had to either return or exchange I came to know that this brand had no policy to return the items. I was a little relieved to see that there was a size exchange policy but one in which you have to ship the item back yourself. Still pretty convenient than not being able to rectify the mess at all. I had to mail a lot in order to get a response from the brand’s side. Still I hopefully managed to have a conversation.

Why Satin is not the Endgame for busty people?

As satin is not an adjustable cloth, choosing dresses made of satin for busty people is a risky affair. If you are planning to order a satin dress online please have a second thought if you have never worn anything similar because satin is a very thin body hugging cloth which will shape out each and every curvy area of your body. So if you are ready for the same you can happily go ahead. I found satin to be experimental and shopping it online may turn out to be a waste of money as you will end up facing some or the other issue. So it is better to go and physically but satin clothes rather than shopping them online which no prior knowledge.
