A few weeks ago I had a message from Gentry who is a marketing manager for a large fast fashion company, Rosegal.

I have seen so many advertisements and posts on Instagram for the company and also have heard a lot of good (and bad) reviews.

This made me eager to give them a try and see for myself just what their products, delivery, quality and price was like.

As many of you know, I do a lot of work with Shein who are deemed to be of a similar ilk to Rosegal. How would they compare and who would I prefer?

With Shein I am able to pick up to 4 garments for review which gives me a huge amount of scope. Rosegal did things a little differently.

Gentry added a $100 dollar gift card to my account which meant I could order any and everything I wanted up to that value.

Well, to say I did pretty well is an understatement as I managed to get 6 dresses for my money.

Given the postage time for things from Shein, I was expecting to have a similar arrival time. I have to admit, I was completely wrong as the first package arrived very quickly.

Notice I say the FIRST package.

The first package had one dress in it, which had a bit of a winter flavour to it. I had deliberately chosen this as something to wear later in the year as it was red and white with a little bit of faux fur.

I couldn’t quite understand why there was only one dress in the package. However an hour or so later I received an email from Rosegal to advise that the packages had been split and some would arrive later.

Well, that was actually a bit of a bonus as getting several parcels makes it more of an exciting thing. Almost like extra presents.

Around 5 days later another parcel arrived, this one was a bit chunkier.

Upon opening it I found three more dresses; a Halloween horror number, a red elegant evening look and a gorgeous navy floral fancy.

This meant there were still two dresses outstanding as of the publication of this blog.

So, I had to decide whether to write about all six dresses in one blog, which also meant I would have to postpone writing and taking pictures. Also it felt like it may be a bit too much for one review

For this review, I have decided to focus on two of the dresses – The Embroidered Cold Shoulder Bodycon Dress  and the Front Twist Midi Party Dress.

Firstly looking at the Bodycon dress, this is a beautiful navy blue dress which is heavily embroidered with red roses and green foliage.

Needs better underwear on

The dress has pretty draped floral straps that sit on the side of the arms and a sweetheart neckline. The floral top joins onto a navy stretch skirt which sits just above knee length.

A stunning design

I ordered this in a 5XL which is a UK26, my normal size and it does have quite a bit of stretch to it. Being only 5 ft tall, it is probably a little longer on me than on others, but I really like the length.

Pretty as a Floral Meadow

So, what is my opinion of this dress?

Shorter dress than I am used to!

It is absolutely gorgeous. The embroidery is simply stunning BUT the floral section is very see thru so I had to be really careful what underwear was used as some of my bras were visible.

Sublime Embroidery

Whilst many people may be confident enough or happy to have a bra on show, I am not one of them and would be very uneasy. To make this work for me, I wore a mesh corset which sat a bit oddly (mainly as I didn’t lace it up tightly enough)

Corset needs to be much Tighter

I actually felt like the draped straps and exquisite embroidery didn’t need any extra accents so decided to not wear a necklace which I am not too sure if it worked. I will more than likely wear a simple silver chain in future.

Floral Fantastic

To compliment the dress I added one of my favourite wigs, a Betty Page style wig from Mimo wigs.

The dress is priced at just £16.04 and there are usually some amazing discount codes which reduce the cost of your basket considerably.

My second choice was a beautiful asymmetric midi dress.

Twistin’

This really struck me as quite unusual as there are two layers to this dress, the longer over layer and a shorter mini dress that is visible from between a large slit that starts at the twist front.

Yes… I do have a VBO!

The colour is described as firebrick, which is a matte burgundy. The long sleeves and square neckline make the dress look quite sedate and refined until you go to take a step forward and the deep split parts to show off your legs.

High Split and Short Skirt

I really liked this whole idea and decided to pair it with some gorgeous gold Asos shoes and a little cube bag from Primark.

Shoes and Bag

The neckline felt like it needed something but I didn’t want to over complicate things so I added a gold necklace, gold bangles and some gold rings.

Brown Hair and Bangles

Topping it all off, I went with one of my favourite wigs, a brown bob from Shein.

One of my Favourite Wigs

Like a lot of fast fashion the dress is made of stretchy Polyester mix which gives a lot of movement and comfort, but can get quite hot.

This dress was also fantastic value at £20.75.

Loving this Look

So far these two choices have worked out really well for me and I cannot wait to show you the other four choices and give you my complete review of Rosegal.
