House of CB VS. DUPE | Try on Comparison | Samaria Corset Fit & Flare Dress

[@calocagathia3335]

House of CB should be getting major scrutiny for claiming their dress are made of organic cotton, but aren't, and their websites are lying about fabric composition on dresses. Here's a great review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGQqZ2HadqSbsk

[@justjordanthings]

Thanks for sharing that. Super interesting

[@Niniriina]

WHAT?? Damn so much money for cheap fabric and they lie??

[@Flo-hy3zq]

Something else that bothers me about the brand is how EVERYTHING is dry clean only. So much of their stuff is made with polyester and zero boning but dry clean only. Like why?

[@umavanderpuye332]

​@@Flo-hy3zq You can actually (hand) wash a lot of their stuff. But a lot of brands put dry clean only so you can't blame them for quality issues latwr

[@Wonderer888]

Aside from leather…I have honestly never taken anything that says dry clean to the dry cleaner. At first it was because I was on tight budget but i realised nothing happened to the clothes so I’ve just never bothered. I normally place it in a laundry bag and wash it on delicate cycle then air dry it out in the summer or hang it to drip in the bathroom in winter.

[@emilybusby6922]

$250 and House of CB didn’t make a proper bodice for it? Those underwires are supposed to sit flush against your skin and the cups are supposed to be three dimensional, like a bra, to allow the breast to sit inside of them. Those cups are flat. That top is poorly constructed- they’re charging luxe prices for cheap design. Don’t waste your money. (And yes, I am talking about the first dress. Not the dupe.)

[@Starfang_Wanderer]

Agreed. I bought several house of CB dresses and actually had a dupe I bought fit better and the materials were nicer. 🤷‍♀️

[@spacebar9733]

Everytime I see cups sitting across someone’s boobs this way (it’s always online) I can’t trust anything they say. This looks objectively bad. Edit: not talking about this woman specifically

[@Kiiviie]

fr, i thought the first dress was the dupe given how the bust portion was

[@mrsducky3428]

Honestly thought the house of cb dress was an undergarment!!!

[@virtualgambit577]

This is what annoys me about fashion. People will pay so much more for a name rather than quality. Even smaller designers like HOCB will be charging $250 for a dress I can buy custom made from a seamstress for $150.

[@claracatlady9844]

Omg me too. I’m a fashion design student and that is literally how I go “shopping”. However I gotta say I have two house of CB dresses (not the one in the video that I could probably make) and I just tried on and calculated how much time and material I would need and if it would be just as good and arrived at the conclusion that it made more sense to just buy it for 160 bucks.

[@Phoe8D]

I don’t like how it looks flat in the middle of the skirt it reminds me of when I cut my pattern wrong with too litttle fabric left :P

[@eya221]

Safyia Nygaard made a really good in depth video about the same topic, would recommend watching it for more details

[@artemisameretsu6905]

It makes me happy to see so many comments about the bust not fitting, its a low bar but given like half the "boob card" carrying population wears the wrong size bra, Ima take happiness where I can find it as a busty gal. Support your local tailors, get (nice) dressed tailored

[@kiokuisme1]

The bra cups in the expensive one aren't big enough for you. For $200 i would want a dress that fits correctly

[@justjordanthings]

I would have to get a custom dress if I wanted one that fit properly. This is an issue I’ve dealt with door a while and have accepted it. I love the way it looks and don’t want to buy a custom dress that would cost more

[@dawnssful]

Most clothing brands are not designing clothes for fuller busts. In order for her to get it to fit correctly, she would need to go to a company that specifically makes clothing for fuller busts or vintage inspired clothing, because generally those companies cater to figures where the bust is a good 9 to 11 in smaller than the waist, or she would need to get a custom dress. Tre a few companies around still that make clothes with a fuller bust in mind, but the vast majorities of companies don't because it requires specialized sewing skills and because it's too small of a market for them to actually make enough money in. Most individuals don't know these companies exist and they're not going to spend the money that these companies need to sustain themselves. It isn't a quality issue when clothes don't fit fuller busts, rather it's designers choices in regards to which market will sustain their business, it's better for them to fit the average sizes of a population and measurements of a population because they'll make more money that way (which will support their pattern makers, designers, sewists, and etc).

[@loveyb9090]

I'm not sure what other ppl are talking about. The house of CB dress is georgous. Ppl just bash whatever isn't Shein prices.They knit pick anything expensive. Like why do ppl get so angry on these try ons?The dress can be worn to death for any occasion.

[@LoveJovie]

Yes!!! Ive seen this everywhere! With so many styles of their dresses

[@adrijanaemilieconroy]

Same thing happened with that floral corset dress a couple summers ago. Its just drop shippers ruining online shopping.

[@alesha52724]

For people mentioning the cup fit. They seem to fit her similar to the models. Also, I feel like the dresses run REALLY REALLY small. Returns when following the return guide cost a fortune. It was $46 to return through UPS. I recommend reading the BBB reviews. The dress was very nice but I ended up buying a dupe bc I couldn't afford to get the fit wrong again. Im a size 0 in American Eagle, ordered a size small dress and couldn't zip it at all. I probably should have gotten a large. Final thought, why do we have to be so negative. She was only trying to help people shop informed.

[@TheBondisReal]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS... TO END STEALING FROM DESIGNERS ❤❤❤🎉

[@jessmather4227]

I was smitten as a kitten over my red House of CB dress, I found their quality exceptional, packaging was beautifully done and the corset in the back allowed it to be fully adjustable. I've never felt more confident and me in a dress!

[@justjordanthings]

This is why I like their dresses. The way I feel in them is unparalleled.

[@claracatlady9844]

I can confirm I had great experiences with house of CB. I really like that you can get most sizes with +cup and +length. I’m short and have a large chest so when I size up it stops fitting in other places but with their sizing it’s so much easier. Also the boning is done very nicely in the two dresses I have

[@rosie58843]

For an expensive dress, it really isn’t that flattering, like I think this kind of corset top needs to be tailored to your proportions because it just looks like it fits terribly on everyone

[@sassychimpanzee7431]

Agreed. And it looks like a Victorian undergarment to me rather than a finished dress

[@aloras405]

It’s literally a corset with a skirt.

She says they do larger cup sizes but they clearly don't. The "cups" look the same size (flat) as the regular but they just give more boob material, so the "cups" sit over your boobs rather than around. No thanks.

[@sarina1234ful]

​@beththegreen then why didn't she do that? I would love to see the dress in the proper sizing.

[@taylorg2320]

Your body makes the cheap dress look expensive, but I was definitely shocked at the difference! I know that House of CB has been under some scrutiny for potentially lying about their fabrics, but I always feel like what I'm paying for is expert tailoring and design skills. You can definitely tell when a pattern was made by someone who cares about how the garment sits on the body and not just about how the design looks on paper. House of CB dresses are always extremely flattering and I feel like that's what I'm paying for rather than the materials!

[@justjordanthings]

i 100% hear you, I just don't like that the brand selling the "dupe" is using the Real dress in their advertisements for the $20 one. If you want to make a dup e by all means do it, but use the actual garment people will get in your advertisements

[@HaileyB85]

I’ve given up on House of CB. Sizing is inconsistent, materials are cheap, and many items I’ve bought were poorly made. Oh and it costs $25 for me to return! Never again. That said, you look gorgeous in that first dress.

[@ladywolf3356]

I have really sensitive stomach issues and I can’t wear tight dresses, pants, shirts, etc. I probably can’t wear the real one but maybe since the dupe isn’t as structured I could. Plus I live in Florida so I see the lighter material as a plus.

[@FrejaLindberg-c6v]

For an expensive dress that's a little more "up there" regarding brand it's not that gorgeous. It looks like it's been sown in a very messy way, like it was made by a brunch of kids in Home Economics. Bad fall on the skirt, the top lite on the bust piece looks uneven and messy and the only reason the corset style midpart looks good on you is because you are thin.

[@mrosegold]

$250 for a dress with pockets? Definitely worth it 😂

[@janettewong9900]

IDK where you shop but I’ve been thrifting for 2 decades now and while pockets in dresses isn’t the standard, plenty of mid-range brands that don’t run in the hundreds offer dresses/skirts with pockets. An even easier solution is taking it into a tailor (call first to see if they’ll do it) and get pockets put in for less than that. If you’re low on funds, you can even ask if it’s cheaper to do one instead of a pair. I live in one of the most expensive areas of the US and it cost me $40 each to get two pockets to get put into my A-line dresses when I brought 3 dresses in (ie. $120 all together before tax and tip). If you have almost nothing to spare and you’re fairly good with a sewing machine, it’s actually a fairly simple alteration and pretty beginner friendly if you’re not doing it next to a zipper (ie. Put the pocket in on the side without the zipper)

[@mrosegold]

[@Guitarbarella]

Those saying the original is too small-no it’s not- it’s not cutting in your boobs as the skin would push over- it’s actually a perfect fit- it is a corset style with the boning and quite low cut but it’s supposed to be- so you do not want it too big- I was a stylist- it’s fine.

[@lexc.7991]

Of course the quality in design and material is not the same.. but it almost looks like you need a smaller size in the dupe? It looks baggy, around the waist, the bust, and there is a gap on the straps too… it looks like it’s hanging on you, it’s clear you have a full bust, so this all indicates it’s too big for you. Which definitely adds to it looking worse than the original. I think with the proper size though you would at least have a more defined waistline, a more supported bust, and the proportions hitting the right spot a bit better. Like I said, not the same quality by far, but it definitely looks worse on you since it’s clearly *just* *too* *big* …

[@lexc.7991]

It also looks like the CB dress is too small. Not that it looks bad on you, but again adds to the contrast between both dresses. There is slight bunching around your waist (even thought there is light boning) and you are only standing. This seems like it’s because it’s too tight, causing the fading to bunch.. it also cuts across your chest and back very tightly.

[@justjordanthings]
