♡ 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! ♡
