Review: Zurhi by Loft 324

What: Zurhi halter midi by Loft324

ebelandi_loft324_zurhi_halter_1

Season: Summer 2015

Material: 100% cotton voile self and lining

Quality: Very good, though the cotton is a little too sheer in my opinion.  Even with the lining, you may want to stay away from bright undergarments.

Fit: Very tight fit on the hip area, but plenty of room on top if you size up.  I’d still recommend your larger size as there isn’t much to give on the skirt. The halter is very well cut and the fabric belt is a nice touch to outline the waist.  Overall, good job.

Sissi’s verdict: Keeper, but with a raised eyebrow due to the tight bottom.

Review: Gilded Bryonia

WhatGilded Bryonia Sheath by Anthropologie

ebelandi_anthro_bryonia_sheath_1

Season: Spring 2015

Material: 100% cotton outer with glitter accents. Made in India.

Quality: Excellent…minus the annoying zipper that tends to pull on the back of the dress! You’ll have to be really careful zipping down your dress otherwise, great quality materials.

Fit: True to size but slightly tight on hip area if you are hourglass. I sized up for a loose fit at hip, but need to tailor the top as it is too big 😦

Sissi’s verdict: Keeper!!

Designed by Bel: First dress!

Yes am still sewing…This month, am working on a long sleeved dress with a pretty red and white fabric.  Unfortunately, at the time of this post, I still have to attach the sleeves to the top of the dress. However, am running late on posting, so below are pictures of my progress and I shall update with the finished dress once completed!
