Jessica, can I request a video? I think it’ll be fun and interesting to see you and your wife switch clothing styles. Where she wears your clothes for a week or something and you wear hers. Same with hair maybe where you both do each other’s hair routine.
Honey Rose aw yes!! This would be so cute
Yes!
Yes omfg Claudia in vintage dresses!! I'd probably cry with happiness.
YES! But not for a week, just for the video. lol
Yes!
Jessica, darling, you are in Malaysia! The land of some of the finest textiles in the world! Take a walk into the city and find a tailor to take your dresses in and remove the elastics. In fact, I would like to request a dress making video if you get up the courage to have a dress made for you in Malaysia. That sounds like a wonderful adventure... or disaster... not sure. It’s up to you all. 🤷🏽♀️😂
In Kenya for have that too and I always think tourists would have a fun, different and even slightly authentic look if they did this. The things in hotels and tourism kiosks are so overpriced and tend to look costume-y
You could take the dresses that were too large to a tailor! Usually if it’s only a size or two it should be fairly easy to take in a little and you could thoroughly enjoy your beautiful new dresses!
Lotta Niemi espeshly the one that to big with a side zip it would be so easy to take that in and turn it into a center back zip at the sametime
Get thee to a seamstress! Most of those dresses only need part of the side seams taking in, really quick and cheap. You should be able to find someone to do it while you're still in malaysia as well, for much cheaper than buying new sizes.
You made me a believer in petticoats!!! 👍🏼
Yay!
A crinoline is simply pure magic! Seriously though you look amazing in everything! :D
🌸 🌸
are you from the U.S. South? we called them crinolines as well. I am a boomer so, it was the 50's and boy did most of them scratch !!
Hello Jessica, from Austin Texas!
You are stunning! I’m sure you hear that alot. You and the gorgeous Claudia are quite the headturners, I’m sure 100%.
Thank you for the dress review. Dresslily is actually a brand I’ve contemplated buying but wasn’t sure of the quality.
The red one without a petticoat does look a little like a circus tent, but you suit it XD Why does everything make you look gorgeous, even circus tents! Maybe because you shine beautifully inside and out xxx
The noise is the call for prayer for muslims. Oh how I miss malaysia and you're a style and life inspiration for me 😘😘 lots of love and I hope you have a marvelous time in msia.
5:55 the cutest circus tent in the world
Clothes should be easy to have altered there and hopefully cheaply! See if your in-laws know of an alterations lady. A good seamstress will be able to use the extra fabric of the blue polka dot dress and give you more room in the shoulders. The extra fabric from the others you might be able to make headbands out of. What's important is the room for your bust. The rest can be taken in. You'll like the warmer fabrics when it's chilly in Britain! We had a lovely horizontal freezing rain yesterday. :( love your vids!
The red halter neck is giving very strong 'America from West Side Story' vibes. Even thought the style may be more of a Jet's girls dress than Sharks girls.
You should get those dresses taken in - I bet it would be cheap in Malaysia (I know it would have been very cheap in Indonesia). They were lovely but yes could be better fit at times.
I’m obsessed with the sign for Malaysia. So fun and beautiful.
I just found your channel and I ABSOLUTELY love it. You’re so inspiring and I hope you have a wonderful day.
My online shopping experience is mostly from ModCloth, but my strategy is to look at the sizing chart, then look at the reviews to see if other people think the size chart is accurate, see if someone with a similar body type to me has left a review (I’m short with a smaller bust and huge freaking hips so it’s sometimes hard to tell how stuff will look on me), then ask my mom what she thinks (she’s better at guessing whether things will fit or not), and then order. Not sure if dresslily has reviews but they have been the best way for me to decide on other sites
Also I always order multiple sizes if returns are allowed just to be on the safe side
There is a shop in my town all vintage dresses that I wish i could afford and think you would love Jessica!
You look good in all the dresses, but everything looks even better with a petticoat!
The blue white polkadot.... I have that dress!!! I HAVE that dress!!! She's wearing my dress!!! I mean I'm wearing her dress!!!
oh, wow ! more colorful than usual, jessica ! what a nice change for the springtime :)
Thank you so much for this review. I have been so reluctant to order from them as I have heard less than positive things.
hey, it would be really nice if you could make a video with tips for deaf/hard of hearing people who want to learn how to read lips! love your videos, you and Claud are the cutest couple ever
I ordered a dress from DressLily recently (my first purchase from there) and it hasn't arrived yet but these vids I've watched from youtube ease my mind after getting worried on review sites. Thanks!
The plaid dress really suited you (humbug dress too...and the rest) and really just a few tailoring tricks could hug it to the body if that is what you want. I really love your style and persona (and the signing, I miss my classes) your videos are so inspirational to me as a lover of sewing and vintage style. Hoping one day to own or sew one for myself :)
DRESSLILY NEEDS TO SEND THIS GIRL SOME STUFF AMIRITE
I actually have that 1st dress on the way from Romwe, now I'm even more excited!
I'm a simple person, I see a new Jessica video, and I press like. (y)
Red and white (I think 2nd is my fav!)
Such cute dresses!!! The first one is my favorite and also I like the black and white one :)
The noise outside sounds like a mosque 🙂
Thank you! My hearing wife pointed it out for me later on ☺️
I bought two Dresslily dresses, and I kind of semi-regret it... Actually one is exactly the same as your checkered blue-and-white one, I loved it in the review. Both dresses look like the picture and look pretty, generally. I heeded your advice and bought my size (S) regardless of the size charts, and it worked out fine. The blue dress is still a size too big for me (I have 87 cm chest, which is, indeed, more XS than S), but it's good with a belt and good enough without. However! The regret comes from the fact that they totally lied about the fabric. Both dresses say 95% cotton, 5% elastane, and this was super important for me, as I live in Israel, which is a very hot country. But by their feel and behavior, I can say for sure as a textile crafter (and as a person with experience living in a hot climate) that they're 100% polyester. I wish they didn't lie about the fabric. Of course, your review was actually honest about this website (you also mentioned that it had lots of synthetic fabrics). I think it's totally my fault for biting the bait of super-cheapness (I paid $40 for 2 dresses, which is less than one dress from a proper brand). I'm going to wear them, because they're cute, but I won't buy no-name retro dresses anymore. I'd rather stick to small European brands (I'm a fan of British Retro!). And my consciousness will be cleaner for it.
I would just like to say thank you for being a patron for Orbit Shed. We really appreciate it especially as I only joined recently
"gotta work with what i'm given." jaja love your content jessica
I'm afraid I will never use Dresslily again. I placed an order, was assured everything was in stock. Waited two weeks and my order wasn't even processed. Was then vaguely told that due to some kind of spring festival (this was January...) there was a delay in restocking. Restocking, huh? Restocking those items you assured me were in stock in the first place?
After then waiting a further TWO MONTHS, I was informed that they couldn't restock the two items and couldn't complete my order. Genuinely the worst service I've ever had through any online clothing business. The only good thing I can say is that I got a refund.
Yay! You signed in this one! I like it when you sign in your videos :3 Thanks for the procrastination fuel, I really didn't need that! 30$ vintage dresses that don't look like they're from the internet? Where do i sign up?!
Jessica was so beautiful on this one 😍
I hope you're able to either exchange the sizes or alter them to fit! Some of them could have pretty easy fixes if there's no lining and you know how to place and sew darts.
I've been seeing the ads for this brand everywhere! Great video :)
Do you ever alter your dresses? You might be able to take some of them in!
You are officially my new favorite UA-camr! Don't see many girls with the same sense of fashion as myself. Beautiful sense of fashion, and a wonderful personality. The little dancing around just made me laugh. You remind me of a 50's commercial. Keep it up! New subscriber here.
Thank you for doing this look book I didn’t know this brand before and the prices are great! Definitely going to buy quite a few! Great review x
Yesterday I watched "La La Land" again and loved Emma Stone's yellow dress, today I watched this video and the second dress I found on the website was the exact replica of this dress. I REALLY HOPE IT'S GOOD.
I love to watch when you sign, even if I don't use sign language myself.
I like the red dress the best. I agree with Claudia about the ones looking like lunch ladies. Or like my granny when she’d go to pick things in the fields. I think the layered one looks like a bad doll. The red and white one would be good for Christmas with a white furry wrap and pearls though
I don't wear vintage dresses but when I see Jessica has uploaded I click
I miss your hairstyle's "The Pompadour" & "The victory Rolls" lol amazing video Jessie and Claud ❤
Thanks Jess! I’ve been on the fence about ordering a special occasion dress from dresslily in the vintage/retro style.
Am definitely going to give it a go.
Have you tried ordering from wish? That would be interesting for shoes in the vintage style? I purchased boots and I love them. But not sure about the other styles.
Anyway- love the travels you guys are my Fave xo from Australia.
I would recommend you have darts put in to the first dress! I personally would put two in the front from the (and excuse me for any awkwardness) bottom of each of the nipples to the top of the waistline. They're quite easy to do so you could probably do them at home with just a needle and thread. You can also do this on the cream and blue dress. For this one I would suggest you put in the darts one on each side, from the armpit to the waistline. I will say, they all look very lovely on you! Dress number six would need two front darts and two side darts to get the fit I reckon. And for the penultimate dress again two side darts and two front darts to make it fit nicer.
So excited to have another video from you! The first two dresses are my favorite! I really love that turquoise on the first dress! And the red stripe on the second dress is very fun! You are absolutely right to say the checkered third dress is so "1950s housewife"! You look stunning in all of them, as always! Sending love from the Pacific Northwest USA!
Perhaps get them tailored? Or would it be less expensive to get new dresses? Either way haha! Lovely as always
Normaly cheeper to tailor you would be suprised how quick it is too i live really close to a big super market and when i fix things for people i often tell them to go do their food shop wile i do my thing
Thank you for the first helpful video on Dresslily. Scoured UA-cam for a review. Informative and honest
You should review Gown Town dresses !! Theyre on Amazon
I have a feeling that from watching your videos, dresslily has started advertising to me too on fb. Would love to treat myself to something once i've lost weight
Oh, I also got the Facebook adverts, and lockdown found me doing my first online international purchase, lol.
I ordered different sizes and I was wrong in most of them, lol. ._.
this was so funny to watch - why would a brand do that with their sizes? Very odd indeed. My Mum recently has been loving dresses from the brand Number 9 Fashion. It is based here in Australia, so I’m not too sure about shipping to the UK, but the dresses themselves are ridiculously cheap compared to a lot of Australian vintage/retro brands. Have a look - all their dress are super quirky with fun patterns, but are sorted into necklines so they still say ‘vintage’. Just an FYI, when they first release the dress, they’re about $105 AUD, but then can go down to $60 ish after a bit, depending on how popular the patterns are. I have my eye on a couple of their collared ones 😊. Let me know what you think :)
Love these outfits -- I would love to see what I looked like wearing them when I dress up as a woman!
Lovely video, very informative! To clarify, would you recommend buying dresses from dresslily in whichever standard size you usually fit, as opposed to using the size charts? Were the sizing charts themselves inaccurate?
Hannah I have bought several dresses from this site,the sizes do tend to run small,(they are coming from China)so I have found ordering the dresses two sizes above my regular size works and if it’s too big you can always get it tailored,I had one dress that was shown calf length in the pictures but was floor length with a silk puddle around my feet,so I got it tailored .
I’ve ordered from them and never received my item.
My god the porcelain print one is gorgeous
like the dress youre wearing in the video !
Love this video 😘❤️
You are so beautiful! ❤️Loved all the dresses :)
Girl, you're in Asia, get some dresses made! So cheap! And it will cost you next to nothing to tailor the dresses :)
I love that you sign
how do u handle the Malaysian heat? as someone with POTS, i find that heat is very excruciating!!
Have you heard of Rock my Vintage? I think they do beautiful dresses and have good styles. They may not be all your style but worth a look, they are not the cheapest so you have to really think about what your buying but they haven't let me down yet in quality and fit.
Pretty dresses, perhaps you can get the dresses altered once back in England.
brilliant video, i just wish you had stated the price of each dress as you went along, it would be very helpful!
There's this quirky retro brand I love called Bonne Chance Collections! They're reasonably priced and have such unique dresses!
Ahhhh!!! They have a kitty dress!
They have such adorable stuff!
Hah! I ordered that pink and white dress from Amazon. From Jiuzhoudeal. I'm a large and as long as you're like me and you have mosquito bites, it fits perfectly. c:
I have never heard of nail polish melting. Wow girl, I bet you can't wait to get back.
I really want to go and buy a petticoat now haha
with tiny alterations the checkered dress could fit you better too!
Hi Jessi. :) I read a lot of bad reviews on the internet about Dresslily. I went to the Homepage and thought: wow cheap! Nice. But then I saw all of these bad reviews. Is it worth it? I live in Switzerland and all german website with any reviews were like: Don`t you dare to buy something from Dresslily...
Dress one with the extra fabric you can turn it into a headband to match.
Dress two you looked like a sweet for your wife which was extrs cute.
Oops forgot this.
Jessica, you mentioned the cost and time spent hunting for vintage. You should contact some of these companies. You would be the perfect woman to showcase the clothes on social media! 👍🏼and THEY could PAY you! Seriously!!
I actually prefer side zips! My hands don't reach all the way the way back there!
Rudo Chifamba Same! My shoulders and ribs start popping out if I try to zip up my own back zippers 😂
Love 50s😍😍😍😍
Where do you get belts from? They really did a lot to transform the looks!
As always, I enjoyed your review. I wonder, will you be reviewing HellBunny, or H & R London? ❤️
I bought the blue floral one in a medium also, and even though I’m usually a medium, it was still too big. I would order a size smaller than you usually are. The other 2 dresses I bought in mediums fit, this was still too big.
Jessica where do u get your petticoats from? X
she did a video on this! Check a few vids back :)
Here's the link to the video (I assume) ua-cam.com/video/NW8wyo99OX4/v-deo.html
You could take some of them to get them tailored if you can find a place that's not too pricey? Or try it yourself (DIY video!)? Easier to tailor something that's too big for you, rather than something that's too small for you. 😊
(Actually, you probably can already take things in yourself... but can Claudia? That'd be a funny video).
Love the vid Jessica! I’m not sure if you’ve ever covered this before but how do you edit your videos?
You could sell the ones that don't fit on depop, I'm sure your viewers would buy them :)
Have you considered sewing them - or having them sewn since tailoring is cheaper in Malaysia - and salvaging the larger dresses by making them smaller?
You are the sweetest. 😘
Do you say thank you with two fingers or five I'm learning BSL and I looked at one of you're videos and you said u signed SSE or ESS, SES
Jessica, have you tried kitten d’amour?
Hiii Jessica. I am currently trying to choose a mobility car on the Motability Scheme. Do you have any advice on picking a suitable car or any car based disability aids?
I'm thinking about shopping on dresslilly but I'm super cautious about ordering online when it comes to getting scammed and my personal information. Do you trust the site security wise? I'd love your opinion.
Ooh, second!
But what bra can you wear with the red halter dress? I guess I could buy nipple covers but I'd rather not if I don't need to.
What I do with halter dresses is take the removable pads out of swimsuits that I already own, then just insert them into the cup area of the dress. If the waist of the dress fits well the halter aspect of the dress lifts and the small pad helps to not feel so exposed. If the pads move around too much in the dress I use double sided tape just to give it extra stick to me (careful, make sure you aren't allergic to the adhesive if you stick it to you, I learned the hard way) or the dress. I have also used strapless bras, multi function bras, and circle cut tape fairly successfully, but I recommend the first method, especially since many halters have lower backs. Halter bras can be expensive and only some fit invisibly under the straps even still, so I've never owned any. If you are unsure wear the dress with a cardigan and nearly any bra while bra shopping.
Where did you purchase your petticoat from?
What are your measurements? I'm trying to figure out what sizes to get at Dresslily, but I couldn't find any of their size charts that had measurements other than length. I'm very petite.
What type of undergarments do you wear with these dresses?
Need a good seamstress to adjust dresses.
I screwed up even looking at the sizing chart, because at the moment I don't have anything to take my measurements with.
Is it possible to use Dresslily app or website?
Hello!! never been this early hee
