Expectation / Reality: Typically, such articles are fond of writing about AliExspress. But today we are not talking about a virtual trading platform, but about a Russian brand. I saw beautiful dresses for the New Year on their website, ran to the store, tried it on, but expectations did not coincide a little with reality... either there is something wrong with the dresses, or with me.
Let's see together how Photoshop, the right play of light and a pretty model can decorate quite ordinary dresses.
All outfits from Sela store. Sela belongs to the Russian company Melon Fashion Group, which also owns the brands Zarina, befree, Love Republic.
Lot # 1 - dress in a trendy light green
This dress attracted attention precisely because of the color. I adore juicy shades and it was impossible to pass by such brightness. On the website, the fabric of the dress looked great: it flowed beautifully, shone nobly and seemed dense.
What is really: when I saw the dress in the store with my own eyes and touched the fabric, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything looked just as great as on the website, only that noble shine was not there.
But in the fitting room, the carriage turned into a pumpkin. The fabric is actually very dense and beautiful, but treacherously emphasizes EVERYTHING! My imperfect abs, double chest fabric, thin bodily thongs. This dress apparently does not provide for the presence of underwear at all, as well as the presence of breasts, even 1 size :) I thought it was not my size, I tried on M, but it didn’t get any better. Apparently this dress is only for girls with a sporty physique, for the first time in my life I felt fat.
Lot # 2 - the same, only in deep blue
And here we did a fair bit of Photoshop and lit up the dress with spotlights from the bottom of our hearts. The site has an insanely beautiful color, in reality it is also beautiful, but completely different.
The story is the same, sticks to the body and emphasizes every unnecessary bulge.
Lot # 3 - with long fashionable sleeves
I didn’t come out tall for this dress. And the sleeve is long and the style is not mine. The fabric is the same as on the previous versions.
Lot # 4 - suit with sequins
The suit is cheerful and here expectations coincided with reality.
He did not sit on me, because the size is not mine again. And I look in it a couple of sizes larger, which is quite expected: when a free style meets an active shine- wait for the catch. I think if you split the suit and wear the top and bottom separately, it would be better. The top can be combined with a plain pencil skirt, and trousers with a simple shirt or a strict jacket, the game in contrast is always interesting.
In fact, Sela has a lot of interesting things that I liked and there are large sizes, but I didn't have a friendship with these dresses, maybe they just didn't sit on me, but they are great... Do not know...
Girls, none of you tried on outfits from the Sela New Year collection? I would be interested to know your opinion about them.
