♡ Sanrense Review | Rabbit Ear Seifuku Dress ♡

♡ もしもし ♡

I feel like I've been on such a blogging surge lately-- it's my fifth post of the month! I haven't had this much motivation to write in quite a long time, but it's nice to be inspired again ^^ 

Today I thought I would review a dress I recently got in the mail from Sanrense! If you don't know Sanrense, they're an online shop which sells a lot of cutesy fashion! They have fairly reasonable prices and a huge selection, so I think they're a great place to start if you're looking to get into kawaii fashion, but don't yet want to shell out a lot of money on something from a Japanese brand ^^"

Before I get into the review, I should mention that despite getting this item for free, all opinions are my own! 

I was allowed to choose anything from their website to review, and I went with this absolutely adorable rabbit/bear seifuku dress!

On their site it's listed as the "Sweet Pink Cute Bear Embroidery Rabbit Ears Navy Dress", and it retails for $32 USD. I thought this was such and adorable dress, and I don't know why, but I think sailor collar items are just so cute for the summer!

After confirming all the details with one of the representatives from Sanrense, the dress was shipped to me, and it arrived in approximately two weeks! On their website they say that shipping to the US takes about 7-14 days, and to the rest of the world about 2-4 weeks (which is a bit on the long side, but to be fair most of the time international shipping takes a while ^^" ).
The dress was packaged in a really pretty matte bag with the Sanrense logo printed on, which I was a bit surprised by! I thought it was a nice bit of attention to detail~

Firstly, the little red splotches you see peeking through the bag... were a small gift!

I think this little cherry pom-pom brooch is the cutest thing ever..! It was sweet of them to include a small gift, and it's something I'll definitely use in the future! ♡



And now, the dress itself!
It came quite wrinkly, but that was expected, and nothing a quick ironing couldn't fix! 
The tag on this dress was quite cute hehe~

After ironing, the dress looked just like the stock photos!

I was surprised to see that it was made out of a thin linen-like material-- it was a pleasant surprise however! These sorts of cotton-like materials are much more comfortable to wear than something made of a synthetic material, and definitely much more pleasant in the summertime ^^
The rabbit-ear tie on the dress is removable, and although I don't know why someone would want to remove such a cute detail, it's nice to have the option to do so hehe ♡ It attaches easily with buttons~

The face detail on the collar is adorable, and one of the things which drew me to this dress in the first place! It's actually embroidered on, not just printed, which further adds to the dress's feeling of quality~

Here you can sort of better see the weave of the fabric~ 
I like the stripes on the sleeve cuffs!

The back of the collar has rabbit ears too-- so cute!

I really love the adorable details on this dress~
Now for some try-on photos!

This dress is slightly on the short side-- it ends a few inches above my knees (I'm about 162 cm for reference). I think it's definitely something I would wear safety shorts under ^^" The sleeves are just a tad short too, which isn't much of an issue for me, but I imagine if you were taller it might be a bit more noticeable!
It's very comfortable however; the fit is very loose and the fabric isn't itchy at all, so it's a very cosy thing to wear (not to mention adorable!)

For photos, I went with a sort of very pink 'anime schoolgirl' theme, and I think it turned out quite cute! ♡ The dress looked adorable paired with my pink Dream Holic wig worn in twintails~

~Photo Spam Time~

And now time to summarize everything!



Communication: 5/5
I always got quick replies to my emails, and the representative I talked to was always super sweet and friendly! I have no complaints ♡

Shipping: 5/5
I think the shipping time of 1-2 weeks is quite reasonable, especially since the shop isn't based in the US! Everything arrived safely and nicely packaged (and the small gift is a plus too!)

Quality: 4.5/5
The dress is cute and well made, in particular I like the fact that the material is linen-like, and that the little face is embroidered! I do however feel like the fabric is a bit thin-- if you're wearing dark undergarments they might show through ^^" Aside from that though, the quality is quite nice! It's comfortable and well-made, I couldn't find any imperfections or loose threads.

Overall: 5/5
On the whole, I'm very happy with this dress! It's super cute, super comfy, and I look forward to putting together lots of cute outfits with it! ♡

♡ Some Recent Closetchild Purchases | RoseMarie Seoir, Q-POt, and Secret Honey ♡

Hello everybunny ♡

If you follow my instagram, you might have seen the post on my story about a week ago where I mentioned getting a package from Closetchild! 

If you don't know Closetchild, they're a Japanese second-hand site for lolita clothing (and several non-lolita jfashion brands too)!

You can often find really good deals on there, and so I've purchased from them multiple times in the past. The convenient thing about them is, you don't need to use a shopping service! The ordering process is quite straight forward, and though the site is in Japanese, you can just use Google translate ^^ I finally decided to order from them again, because I found a really cute top (that sadly didn't really end up working out for me...), and I thought I would order some other items that I had been wanting too.

So, let's get into this small haul! ♡

Smol sneak-peek!

I'll start with the item I had been wanting for the longest (and probably my favourite purchase)-- this RoseMarie Seoir x Cinnamoroll collaboration cutsew!

I think it's safe to say that I've been wanting this top for at least half a year... it was originally around $40 on their site though, which I thought was way too much for a cutsew (even though it was new with tags...) Rosemarie Seoir isn't a cheap brand by any means, but I still thought that was a bit much to be paying for a casual top ^^" However, when I checked back recently, it was only around $25, which I thought was much much more reasonable!

I thought the pattern on this was soooo cute ;v; Although my favourite Sanrio characters are Kiki and Lala, I do quite like Cinnamoroll! Especially when surrounded by strawberries and whipped cream-- this was a top I just couldn't pass up on! ♡

It's made of a surprisingly thick material-- it's not quite like a regular t-shirt, which I guess is nice! 

You can sort of see the texture of the fabric here-- it's a bit... fuzzy?

I think the fit of this is really cute too! It's adorable both tucked into a skirt/shorts...

And when worn on top!

I really like the sleeves on this too ♡

Overall it's a really cute cutsew, and I'm happy I was able to finally get it! ♡ It's nice to have more cute and casual tops~

The next item is another top, and the thing that actually made me make this order... but unfortunately it's a bit of a disappointment ;^;

I saw this beautiful angel wing collar top from the brand Secret Honey, and seeing as how it had constellations embroidered on the collar... I was in love.

Aren't the details of the collar just beautiful? ♡

Embroidered cherub and some stars~

However, as cute as this top is... I just don't really like the fit on me ;-; The fact that it 'bubbles out' in the stomach area and cinches in at the bottom doesn't make it look really flattering on me...

Most of the skirts I wear puff out at the waist, so I can't exactly wear this sort of top over them, and when I wear it tucked into the skirts, it still ends up puffing out and makes me look larger than I am... ><

As such I'm not too happy with the fit ;v; It looks alright under other tops though!

And the angel wing collar is just so beautiful...

... but it's not something I'm going to be keeping ^^" Even though the design is darling and it's perfectly my aesthetic, I just don't think I'll get much wear out of it, so I've listed it for sale ^^"

It's a bit of a shame though, since it's a really beautiful design ;v; But I guess that's a constant downside to online shopping-- you just don't know how the fit will be...

Oh well! ^^

The last item is another one that I'm quite excited about, and that I've wanted for a while!

Although this item has been on my wishlist for a couple months, the brand itself is one that I've wanted to shop from for years... Q-POt!

If you don't know Q-POt, they're actually a cafe based in Japan, but they have tons of beautiful handmade jewelry as well! Generally the jewelry is sweets themed-- macarons, chocolates, biscuits... all very yummy looking ;v;

Like, look at their current sakura collection!

Sakura Monaka Necklace

Sakura Youkan Pierced Earrings

Sakura Mont Blanc Necklace

It's just all so pretty and charming... but if you go to any of the links, you will see that they're very expensive. Which I suppose is fair, since they are handmade... but there's a limit to how much I can spend on something like this ^^"

Closetchild has a lot of Q-POt items for sale, and often for fairly decent prices!

So, when I saw this set of three items... it was just something I couldn't pass up on!

Firstly: How adorable is this box?? It's like a fancy box for chocolates, opening it felt so special! And my heart soared even more when I took the lid off..!

Inside was a pink cream puff ring, a filled cream puff necklace, and a blue cream puff charm. Truthfully, I mostly bought this for the sake of the necklace...

The original price of this set was around $150... which is crazy! I purchased this for around $45, which is quite reasonable in comparison to the original price, I think! ^^ The pieces aren't in ideal condition-- the 'icing' on the unstuffed cream puffs is the tiniest bit sticky, and the blue one has a slight crack on the side-- but luckily the necklace itself is in perfect condition, and that's all that matters to me ^^

Firstly though: the ring!

It's surprisingly heavy, I was expecting it to be lighter! But it seems as though the puff itself is made of some sort of dense rubber, so it has a tendency to sort of tip to one side when I wear it ^^"

The blue puff is essentially the same as the pink one, it just has a little strap attached, so you can hang it from your phone, keys, bag... wherever!

They're both quite cute-- not something I would purchase by themselves, but since they came in the set, I can't complain!

The necklace is the true beauty of the set, and I love it so much ;v; It's such an eye-catching piece of jewelry, so I'm not sure where I'll wear it... but I absolutely adore it!

It's on a nice and substantial golden chain, and looks quite realistic! I wish I could eat a cream puff like this, it would probably be very yummy ♡
I hope I will get many chances to wear it-- it's just such a beautiful and unique piece! 

Overall, I'm quite happy with everything I purchased! It's a shame that the Secret Honey cutsew doesn't fit me as I would like it to, but I adore the RoseMarie Seoir cutsew, and the Q-POt set!
I hope you enjoyed reading about my small haul ♡ Look forward to seeing these pieces in my future photos!
♡ Thank you so much for reading, and I will see you soon ♡
