Hello, cupcakes!
You are now reading my first clothing review, woo~ I hope you find it helpful! ^-^
Today I will be reviewing Dresslink, an online store with tons of clothes at very cheap prices (YAY FOR CHEAP PRICES
Below, I will be reviewing three items: Pleated Chiffon Skirt, White Pocket Tee, and Batwing Top with Lace.
*While this review is sponsored, it is 1000% my true, honest opinion. All prices are in USD.
Communication
Lendy, the representative I communicated with, was extremely quick, and answered any questions I had patiently. Being able to get in touch with her so easily made me feel comfortable with using the site.Shipping
I was given the China Post shipping option (10-25 business days from China to USA), though there are other options available with faster shipping times. A tracking number was included with my order confirmation email. The whole process took 19 days, well within the expected timeframe!I did notice that shipping is not free. However, I did the math, and this actually doesn't affect the prices of the clothes very much, especially if you order more items at once. For example:
If I put one dress in my cart, costing $6.92, the cheapest shipping option costs $5.23, making the total order $12.51. So basically, the dress costs $12 instead of $7. Not as fun as $7 lol, but not too big of a difference, and still a good price.
However, if I put 10 items in my cart, costing a total of $50.28, the cheapest shipping option is $24.51. I wanted to cry when I saw this at first, BUT, then there's the math: without shipping, the average price of each item is about $5. With shipping, it's $7. That's very close to the original price after all!
Therefore, it seems that larger orders end up being more cost efficient. So, I would buy a haul of stuff rather than an item or two to get the most for your money! However, even if you'd rather just buy an item or two, the price is honestly still pretty cheap even when you factor in shipping.
Tip: On Dresslink, the fastest shipping method isn't always the most expensive, so be sure to check all your options!
Packaging
The packaging was secure, and no items were damaged when I received them. The package arrived like so:
Inside, each item was wrapped in a clear, sealed plastic bag. They look all snug and comfy for their long trip:
As you can probably see in the photo above, each item arrived quite wrinkled; however, I was able to iron them out, and it was totally worth it!
Item 1: Pleated Chiffon Skirt, 10 colors, $3.33
The first item I'll be reviewing is this lovely skirt! (IT'S ABOUT THREE DOLLARS I'M DYING).
Quality 5/5:
For the ridiculously cheap price, the quality is excellent. I have no complaints!No loose threads that I spotted. The skirt has two layers, the flowy outer one and more of a liner layer inside. The material is chiffon, so remember that it will be sheer enough that you will have to wear underwear according to your skintone.
Design 5/5:
IT'S SO PRETTY AND FLOWY I LOVE IT OMG.The design of the skirt looks exactly like the photo on the site, with the slight exception of the color:
I chose nude, but to me, it is more of a light peachy color than a nude color. But I actually noticed that in the photos from other reviewers on the site, and chose it on purpose because I love this peachy color!
The elastic at the waist is pretty stretchy, making it easy to wear this skirt higher or lower on your torso, wherever you prefer.
And, because of the length (it was just above my knees, and I'm 5'4" / 163.8 cm), it's a great choice for taller girls, and can easily be worn to more formal occasions.
You can also make the look more casual, with the addition of a denim jacket, for example:
Overall 5/5:
I love this skirt so much and would buy it in all colors!Item 2: White Pocket Tee, 3 Colors, $3.98
The next item up for review is this short sleeve top with a pocket!
Quality 4/5:
The quality is nice overall, though the top is prone to wrinkles and very very sheer. I wouldn't feel comfortable even wearing a nude bra under it lol. Luckily, it is an easy fix with a camisole/tank underneath, as you can see in the photos above.The good thing about such a light fabric is it's suuuuper soft!
Material is cotton blend, no loose threads that I noticed.
Design 4/5:
Besides the sheerness, I love the fabric of this top! It's stretchy and airy - perfect for hot weather! Did I mention it's super soft? Wahhh.In comparison to the original, overall it looks the same, except for the sleeves. My version of the top has more triangular, shorter sleeves, while the original features squarer, longer sleeves. I would have preferred the sleeves as pictured, but the ones on my top are cute, too.
My favorite part is the tapered length in the back - it gives the top a little something special. The pocket on the front is cute also!
I chose jeans for these photos, but shorts would go well with this top also, especially if you tuck the front in a bit. A black skirt would also be a good choice, if you wanted a more casual girly vibe (tucked in, I suggest!).
Overall 4/5:
While I wish it weren't so sheer, and the sleeves were a little longer, I can't wait to wear this top in the hot weather to come!Item 3: Batwing Top with Lace, 3 Colors, $3.98
The last item is this super cute pink batwing top with lace on the sleeves and back:
Quality 5/5:
I have no complaints as far as quality for this top, especially for that price!The material is cotton blend and lace. The top is sheer enough that you will need to consider it when choosing what bra to wear. You can also layer a white/nude camisole underneath to create a more uniform look.
No loose threads that I spotted. Do be careful with jewelry around it, as tops with lace can be easy to snag!
Design 5/5:
I LOVE the design of this top. The lace makes it super girly and feminine, while the batwing cut makes it a versatile top you can style casually as well. White jeans work great with this top, for example:
The design of the top looks very close to the original photo on the site. The collar is a bit thicker than pictured. This is quite minor though, I'm not sure anyone else would have noticed that eh heh...^^;; Again, the color is slightly different; in the original photo, it's a light peach color, while I would say my version is darker and pinker. But I love this color as well!
I love the length of the sleeves, and the light weight of the fabric makes this top wearable in warmer seasons, despite the longer sleeves. Great for both spring and summer!
I'm super happy with this top, and pleasantly surprised at how cute it is in person. The lace on the back is a unique touch. 
Overall 5/5:
I love this top, and I wish I had it in the other colors, too! I'm wearing it out tomorrow hehe~Ratings
Communication: 
Quick, patient responses.
Quick, patient responses.
Shipping:
Since there is no free shipping option, I'll give it four stars. However, the clothes are still pretty cheaply priced even with the shipping, and the variety of shipping options is convenient.
Packaging:
The clothes arrived undamaged and secure.
Quality: See Individual Ratings Below
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, especially for the price range! Of course, these clothes aren't high-end designer material, but they are certainly cute and I would feel comfortable wearing them in front of my most serious crush haha!
Design: See Individual Ratings Below
All of these clothes were super cute with lovely designs.
Pleated Chiffon Skirt Other Comments: If you've ever ordered from Forever 21, then you can expect a similar experience with this site. For example, many clothes will look exactly like the original photo, while others may have minor variations, like with color. That in mind, read reviews on the product pages when possible, and make sure you take accurate measurements of yourself - then you should be good to go! :)
Overall:
Order from them again?
Yes. Their prices are awesome, and I love a good deal omggg. And the clothes are super cute, too! Because I was satisfied with both the products and the prices, I would definitely order from them again, sponsored or not.
Thank you so much for sponsoring me, Dresslink! It was a wonderful experience, and I'll always remember you as my first clothes review! ^^
