Muchas gracias to Biboy who looked for them in the U.S., and Mom who brought them with her today, the two Doo ri for Macy's dresses that I had my eye on are finally here.
Design-wise, the dresses are gorg. But as the reviews from Macy's website read, there were still bits and pieces that could've been improved.
One thing I like about these dresses are the details that Doo ri Chung put into them. They were thoughtful details that came as a surprise, especially since they weren't on the photos on the website.
Let's start with the black painterly dress. It has a nice shape, the crinkled fabric is a nice touch, and the print is very pretty.
Yup, it's Doo ri, baby!
The dress came with a magnetic belt with Doo ri's signature on the buckle. Nice touch!
And while it's smashing up front, the view of the dress from the back reveals another cute detail.
The zipper is exposed and there's a red ribbon lining it all throughout. It really pops out against the black.
The only minus factor about this dress is that it isn't lined. But other than that, it's a great buy.
Moving on to the red painterly dress, while the print might be similar to the black dress, the material is different. This one is a softer cotton, which makes it ideal for summer.
And to keep the overall lightness and breeze of the dress, the top detail is actually made from cotton jersey, which looks very comfortable. It's like wearing a shirt - a chic one at that.
Plus, this red fabric goes all the way to the back, providing a nice contrast to the strong print of the dress.
And that plus is also the room for improvement. The jersey fabric could've been a bit more substantial.
But overall, these dresses were a great buy, considering the designer and the price point. I'm glad that Biboy was able to find time to get them.
Next stop: Alberta Ferretti for Impulse!
