Ohvola Hathaway Crochet frock Size S and Size M in white, Ohvola C'est Lace Dress in burgundy, size M

I am in an extremely good mood, so i decided not to be slack and do this review today!!

Ohvola is my holy grail shop.

Ohvola launch alot of lace/crochet/peplum tops which I absolutely love.
If you still haven realised, I am a victim for everything lace/crochet.

Oops, I did it again.
As always.

Its so serious, its becoming an illness. Lace crochet aren't exactly the easiest material to maintain in the world. If everything, they are ruined and destroyed easily. Before I know it, my crochet got hooked. This is it.

But I guess love is really sth hard to change or let go.
Follow my heart, It shall always be. (:

Love sth, Just do it. So, I carted.
Full of excuses for my love of almost everything similar of white crochet/lace.

But i swear, the next time I cart anything lace crochet, it wont be white anymore.

Ohvola Hathaway Crochet frock Size S and Size M in white.

Because, Crochet must be white. (ok, i promise, LAST WHITE CROCHET) Even though its a dress, and I know I am gg to look like a giant in it. I still itchy backside carted white, thanks to my stubborn belief. And, I knew its a right choice the moment I open my parcel.

SO PRETTY LEH.

I like how thoughtful ohvola was to include a side and back zip for easy wearing. A back zip is redundant unless you are a yoga person; Hello monkey with flexible long arms. HAHA. LOL.

Size S:


Close up:


Size M:


Sizing: Obviously, Size M is big for me. Its almost shapeless if you compare it to the size S dress I am wearing. Not to mention its loose at ptp and waist. There is a hole for my ptp. LOL.

Size S emphasize curves while Size M hides all your curves. (to each of your needs) Of course, size S is more unforgiving for the tummy. HAHAHA. oh wells.

For reference, I am 16.5" ptp and 26" waist. (:

The lining and the crochet are stretchy! Hence there lots of allowance and therefore, easier to fit in. I am a usual size M for ohvola clothes, so I would advise you girls to size down. Supposed you are a usual size S for ohvola, skip this dress. Its gg to be too big for you.

Material: Of course, Nuff'' said. Crochet are not meant to be lasting. If you are looking for sth lasting to be worn for a long long time, skip this dress too. You are not a crochet person.

Colour: Pure, pristine white.

Ohvola  C'est Lace Dress in burgundy, size M
Why is this dress not sold out yet? I wonder why.
I have been searching high and low for my perfect CNY dress. I thought I found my CNY dress when AA launched Piera Lace Bodice dress in red violet dress. Until I received the parcel and ripped it open excitedly, tried it and got really depressed.

Side track: AA Piera Lace Bodice dress in red violet dress: Its a shade i absolutely love. Deep rich wine red. But its painful for myself to look in the mirror in that dress. LOL. My bust look v weird in the dress. (T.T) Its so weird, everything seems so wrong. It emphasizes too much on my hips which makes my waist incredibly out of proportion. Overall, Its a failed dress for me. I thought, this is it. CNY is approaching soon and I wont have a CNY dress I like.

Until, I found my CNY dress!! HAHAHA.
Sth red/purple/wine/burgundy whatever to suit the CNY festive periods. Not huat or bright red else I have it difficult to wear it after CNY. Even though I am a red person.

Ohvola  C'est Lace Dress in burgundy, size M





Sizing: I am a usual size M build and this fit me like a glove. (YEAH!) Like the length, cause its not too long nor short for me. Visit relatives must leave good impression not to wear anything too short. LOL.

Material: Initially, I didnt want to purchase this cause the dress was made of chiffon. (I dont really like chiffon material now. Too flimsy/thin for my liking. I guess taste will really change with age.) Probably because I have bought some really soft and light weight chiffon from Ohvola before. They are so soft, they reminds of me baby skin. Which threatens to tear anytime. LOL. But this dress is not meant from the baby-soft-like chiffon I used to buy. So I guess its still passable. HAHA.

Which really surprises me is the leather panel used along the waist line and the front of the bust line.
So unique pls. LOL. Its a little hard to zip with some pt due to the leather, which it can still be zipped. LOL.

Lace; Not exactly the kind I fancy. In fact, I hate this kind of lace. Cause this is too thin and flimsy. But a thicker lace wont look good in this design and it will look really weird.

Looks really ugly when I took a close up shot, but I swear its really a nice dress to own!
So overall, this dress is mega love with the design and material used.

Cant wait to wear it out! (:

TVD launch a similar piece called the Raw-hem lace flare dress. I wanted to purchase that, but thank god I didnt. Cause the colour combi doesnt appeal to me. The waist portion is made using ribbon like material which totally turn me off. LOL. HAHA.
