mini TTR CNY 2026 try ons
cny is really around the corner now and i know everyone is looking for blogshop try ons so here’s my honest opinion of 2 outfits i tried from #thetinselrack’s cny collection
- initially i tried this because all the cheongsams i see are very dressy and this is the only set that is a bit more dressed down and casual
- i decided to size up for the top cuz i have broader shoulders
- unfortunately i wouldn’t cop this because i felt like the plaid print was a bit too loud for me
🥢arista and risa set
- i really loved the skirt but i felt that the asymmetrical hem would not be something i’d consistently reach out for
- the top was nice and padded as well but i would have preferred if the neckline was a bit more open and less of a V shape
- unfortunately i didnt cop this one either
if yall are similar stats to me, yall can refer to my size when buying your cny outfits!!
height: 158cm
ptp: 15”
waist: 12”
When shopping for Chinese New Year outfits, especially from blogshops like The Tinsel Rack, it's really helpful to consider not just the style but also the fit and practicality of the pieces. For example, I found that sizing up the Ning and Yena cheongsam top gave me a more comfortable fit around the shoulders, which is great advice for those with broader builds. Another useful tip is to think about versatility—some standout design features like asymmetrical hems or bold prints might be beautiful but may not fit your everyday wardrobe or feel comfortable for regular wear. The plaid print on the Ning and Yena set, for instance, felt a bit too loud for my taste despite its casual vibe. Fabric quality and details also make a difference. The velvet buttons and lace embellishments added a nice touch of elegance to the pieces I tried, making them seasonally festive. I found that knowing your exact measurements helps immensely when buying online—my height is 158cm, with a 15-inch pit-to-pit and a 12-inch waist, so if you have similar stats, my experience might guide your size choices better. Lastly, don't hesitate to explore multiple sets and share your feedback with the community. Trying on different styles guides you towards what truly suits your personality and body shape for the new year celebrations.
