The first impression is that the fabrics used are different compared with the usual h&m ones.
They are all synthetic.
I'll talk about the pieces i've bought first.
- The pink ruffle dress.
Hems are all unfinished but they put a rigid ribbon in the borders. There is a small black ribbon belt attached to the dress.
The ruffle part has borders exposed in the skirt.
These dresses in my opinion fit bigger than usual,i would say a size bigger.
elastic band at the belt
- The zebra trench coat
The zebra trench coat has the most particular fabric, when i saw the preview pictures i tought it was satin but it's not, the fabric has structure, a little rigid and rough to the touch, a little creased, hems are unfinished here too even lateral sewn parts have rought borders on the front part of the trench instead of being on the reverse side. It's a pity!
This skirt is made of taffetta,no hems here too,borders are secured only by a zig zag stitch.
This one has the zip hidden by the bow, it's the only one who has the zipper hidden, all other dresses have a big black zipper exposed on the side or back.The skirt sits on hips and it's higher on the back than on the front.
My cousin bought the ruffle flower print dress. This one apart from the exposed zipper has refined borders, a rigid ribbon sewn into the borders, the straps are of tulle with unfinished borders and unthreades a bit.
The pink one shoulder dress available even in plum has a fabric like jersey,medium weight something like this
The puffy shoulder is taken together by just one stitch.
I couldn't touch the yellow dress because flew off the shelves but i would say it's the same fabric of the pink one, still with unfinished hems.
Overall these dresses are good although they could have been more refined.
I would say they fit bigger than usual h&m dresses a size bigger.
With every dress they gave me a garment cover that is nice.
I'll try to buy a couple of more pieces on ebay now that is overwhelmed by listings and i'll share with you links for some good buys! In any case the first thing i'll do is to make invisible those zippers!!
