Rating LB's 5 Jan CNY Drop & Try on
Hello guys - here's my review of #lovebonito 's 5 Jan CNY drop (but only the items that caught my eye) Not going to lie, this year's print is so FABULOUS - I usually prefer solid colours but the print really caught my attention.
🛒Wei Sunray Pleated Toga Top & PETITE Leggy™ Wei Elastic Sunray Pleated Palazzo Pants - Fern
Rating: 7/10
This colour looked gorgeous online but not great on me unfortunately. Love the set though - I already own this set in Tofu and wear it all the time. It's the ultimate fuss-free office look. Pants are elasticated and the pleats hide any bloat. For those with more volume on top - I would suggest sizing up.
🛒Wei Sunray Pleated Toga Top & PETITE Leggy™ Wei Elastic Sunray Pleated Palazzo Pants - Light blue
Rating: 10/10
This icy blue is GORGEOUS and it works so well on my skin tone so I'm definitely picking this up - i'm a spring light for your reference. No further notes, I love this set as mentioned above.
🛒Georgette Pleated Mock Neck Trapeze Midaxi Dress in Vivid Blooms
Rating: 6/10
LOVE the print - don't love the quality. The material is quite lightweight so it doesn't drape as well as I would like and I found the buttons on the back difficult to get in and out of. For SGD109, I don't think it's worth it. It doesn't really sit well on my frame as well so not for me! Will suggest sizing up for those who are bustier.
🛒Shift Mini Cheongsam in Vivid Blooms
Rating: 0/10
I was the most excited about this piece but it was SUCH a let down. The material and zipper quality was astonishing - the material feels scratchy like paper and the zip was so rickety I was afraid I would break it in the changing room. The cut was also very strange and isn't flattering on me so will be giving this a pass. What a shame as I love the print and the concept was so GOOD.
That's all the #tryons for this drop (at least for the items that caught my eye) - looking forward to the upcoming drops 🤍
Having tried several pieces from LoveBonito's Chinese New Year drop, I found that the festive prints truly bring a joyful vibe perfect for this season. The Wei Sunray Pleated sets are especially versatile, balancing style and comfort with their elasticated pants and flattering pleats that are great for concealing any midsection concerns. I recommend sizing up for those with a fuller bust to ensure a better fit. On the other hand, while some pieces like the Georgette Pleated Mock Neck dress boast lovely prints, the lightweight material and tricky buttons could be inconvenient for daily wear, especially at the price point described. It’s vital to consider fabric quality alongside aesthetics when choosing outfits intended for frequent celebrations. The disappointment with the Shift Mini Cheongsam was notable; a scratchy feel and unreliable zipper undermine the otherwise appealing design concept. This highlights that beyond prints and cuts, construction quality is crucial for lasting satisfaction. For anyone eyeing LoveBonito’s CNY release, I suggest focusing on pieces that marry festive charm with comfort and practicality. Don’t shy away from experimenting with colors; for example, the icy blue pleated set was both flattering and timeless on my spring light skin tone. Looking forward to upcoming drops with hopes of seeing enhanced quality and more inclusive sizing! Overall, layering these pieces with simple accessories can elevate your festive look without sacrificing comfort. Keep an eye out for fabric hand feel and construction details, and enjoy styling your outfits for a fresh Chinese New Year celebration!
