🎀 LaceMade sent me a $500 package: Try on HONEST Review - LaceMade III: Return of the Dresses

[@ciaratalley9206]

Finally, someone who understands that the BBC mini series Pride and Prejudice is superior! ❤😊 I'm so happy!!!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

It is so good! The story has time to breath and the characters are so well developed 🥰

[@crowfaerymori]

That series was my life as a kid ❤

[@Floras_Fiber_Farrago]

Right!? I enjoy both but the mini series really developed the characters and story, and it has so many details from the book 🥰

[@sallycormier1383]

So is BBC Emma series!

[@Rotten_Ralph]

There is a BBC Mansfield Park that is a more faithful adaptation than many others I have seen.

[@ELizbeth135]

Yes to the converting zipper to lace back video!!! What a cool idea!

[@slothburglar]

Seconded!

[@skaisnotdead]

I second this!

[@snmkarate]

Yes please!!

[@Lulu.G-61]

You hit the nail on the head when you said they need to tighten their quality control. I am an alterations specialist and I see dresses from many different companies and I can always tell the ones that have quality control issues and the ones that try to save money by using crappy fabric, zippers, etc. If I order from a company that offers low prices, I am always prepared to do a little work.

[@bluegumbriar2840]

I love the designs of this brand so much, so I am really grateful for the honest review. Unfortunately, I really struggle with dress shopping for a large bust anyway so I doubt the sizing of this brand would work out for me. I'd love to recreate something similar to their designs though.

[@hohohohohooho3251]

GIRLIE! I’m flat chest girlie but I saw they have dresses for curvy people! Only on the popular ones tho! But they are so pretty and elegant! (They are named curve&plus + the dress name)

[@FelicityUwU]

Its a problem pretty common in east Asia and especially China to size clothes too small. Then this year to last, some brands have shrank their sizes. I think it's a subliminal fat phobia, whether intentional from the designers or not.

[@iamkosuke]

Same here. My chest and waist are 2 entirely different clothing sizes so I’m not really sure what to do..

[@countessa222]

I would love a video on adding a lace up back I just passed on a super cute dress that I couldn’t zip up and I was thinking about going back for it and trying to add a corset back to it 😅 it was so cute

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yes definitely on my list of videos to make! I’m ordering an insert for the Lacemade dress as we speak (I have one for the ballgown already).

[@ArielBeasty]

These dresses are lovely and I really would love one but, I'm clearly not fitting my 40dd's in there. Thanks so much for an honest review!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yeah it’s sad for the girlies with chests that the bust area on these runs so small 🥲 but I did give them feedback on that so hopefully they take that into consideration for future collections.

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

I wish everyone would list the finished measurements of their garments and not just their "size"

[@YaelTiferet]

As long as they don't do what Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Innocent World sometimes do---it doesn't matter if there are 120 cm of fabric in the bodice if the elastic won't stretch past 105! I despise those "invisible zippers" with the tiny pulls that are hard to get a grip on and that will often evert and not be zippable. Sad to hear that Selkie uses them, I expect them from Amazon's Scarlet Darkness and Shein Modely, but not on a $200 dress.

[@katelynraine6067]

I would love to see you DIY video on lace up backs for dresses! The dress they sent looks amazing on you!

[@jacquelinejanewashere]

I'm so glad you reviewed this brand because I've seen a few others do it and there were no issues and I still had my suspicions, although they are beautiful dresses I'm clearly not fitting my 38c's in there lol ❤ u and your honesty

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yeah I have a feeling busty gals would struggle with these. I’m wondering if the Curve and Plus section would be better for some busty gals even if it’s too big elsewhere and needs alterations. I’d have to investigate if they modified the patterns for those or if the b00bs are also smol lol.

[@youtubejannie]

So cool that Lacemade found your reviews and then reached out to offer to let you pick items for free, that's awesome! I enjoyed your other reviews and glad you made another one! My favorite was the blue garden dress but when you put the sleeves on the Camellia it was a total vibe. Like you transported back in time to the time of day dresses and house dresses (agree with you that it's not giving ballgown). I've ordered two of their dresses so far and love both of them, though I see that they used to have some really cute jacket skit sets that they don't seem to have anymore and hope they bring back!

[@sweetalissum]

So glad to see someone reviewed this brand! I figured I was well out of their size range, and this confirms it if you're a Large and I'm far bigger than your size. It's too bad as their items seemed beautiful but I'd rather know than waste my money and emotional energy, so thank you! I have the same angry complaint about zippers everywhere. The first Selkie dress I ordered came with an already split zipper and I was so deeply unimpressed given the price of it. I'm a seamstress and tbh the main issue is simply that every brand, expensive or cheap, decided invisible zippers are the only kind they'll use. Invisible zippers are absolutely NOT multipurpose. They are not strong enough for the strain of anything with a waist seam, especially gathered skirts, and they aren't really meant for back closures at all. They will break on most dresses if they're remotely fitted. It's just inevitable.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yeah it can be so hard to shop online and then the mess with invisible zippers… so annoying. But I’ll be experimenting with taking those out. Now for the size inclusivity, I failed to mention thin they recently came out with a section that is 1XL-4XL. Obviously those sizes aren’t equivalent to US 1XL-4XL but I’m so curious as to what the actual range is. If I find any reviews of someone trying that line I’ll def have to add a pinned comment to this video.

[@kennagrace4752]

Scotty's reviews are such a nice genre of videos to watch in the middle of the night when I can't sleep :)) I love seeing her try on different things and look like a beautiful fairy from Tinkerbell!!

[@XxCastlegirl_07xX]

I absolutely love lacemade, I got my Christmas dress from them, and I wear their size S, so I’ve never struggled with the cups being too small, but I have a corset top from them that has cups that are too big, which is bizarre, so I agree with your comments on the fitting.

[@bookventures_of_a_wildflower]

I had the opposite issue with them! I measured myself and based on their sizing chart and I was supposedly a size Medium. The corset arrived and it was too big. :/I reached out to them and was told I am wrong. So I asked my friend to contact them with my exact measurements and ask a sizing advice. They said size large 😮 I got in contact with them again to point out that both the sizing chart and their online help gives incorrect info and they pretty much ghosted me :/ sadly I do not have your sewing talent so will have to pay for someone to take the corset in if possible 😢 I would def not recommend buying from them, even if the products are pretty.

[@ArawynnEveningstar]

Would totally be in for a video on converting a dress to a lace up.

[@RubysMusings]

Love your reviews... So in-depth and detailed and your suggestions are spot on. Gorgeous dresses, shame about the ones that don't fit etc .

[@StephanieCook-wr4le]

You looked beautiful in all that you were able to try on. Can't imagine how they could make such beautiful dresses and have a zipper flaw or arm holes that are the same diameter from one size to the next, and ESPECIALLY why they don't provide measurements for each size. Even Temu does THAT.

[@au_barb]

You look absolutely gorgeous in that gold gown, Scotty. It really suits you.

[@ggkit04]

Yes! Converting lace back diy vid 😊

[@laurenelliott3084]

Please do the zipper to laces conversion video! I need it!!

[@garbtheater]

I would love a video on converting a zip dress to a lace back. More room for snacks.

[@tulipsalinger1410]

I think you looked beautiful in all the things you tried on! my favorite on you was the light blue with the cream lace and pink ribbons that you could just put on over your head!

[@crickis]

the garden of oz dress, with your red hair, reminds me of the painting “mischief and repose”

[@ptsbrii]

this review is amazing! i've really been wondering what the dresses are like/ how they fit & ur honesty is so refreshing!

[@Floras_Fiber_Farrago]

Would love to see a sewing video on adding corset style back to a zipper! I definitely have a dress or 2 that might benefit from that

[@wlk3607]

please make a video about converting the dress backs, i’d love that! and thank you for being honest in your review

[@Scribblebug]

Everything looked so pretty! I also really appreciate how honest your review was.

[@pattiscraftcorner3530]

They are all really beautiful, I love the period style too.

i just discovered you but i absolutely LOVE your reviews!

[@jamiec4392]

The blue off the shoulder dress was gorgeous on you! ❤❤

[@ghouling1111]

Yes yes please for the vid on converting to lace back! As a single person, I can’t stand back zippers and I avoid so many pretty things because of those damn zippers.

[@kayn70]

Would love the lace up option!

[@melanieroscoe5720]

I watched the whole video wondering about a link to the Amazon dress! 😅

[@tulipsalinger1410]

the second dress reminds me of something a character from a midsummer nights dream would wear, tis lovely! also just a wee thing: corsets lace up with laces, although string works laces sounds better LOL!

[@procrasy]

That was a good move on LaceMade’s part. Even with the critical review, I definitely have my eyes on them now. You look divine in that light blue off the shoulder dress btw

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I actually did a video in February where I added a laceup back to the gold dress (the dress in the thumbnail is pink though because I did 2 dresses) - it shows what I ended up doing there 😁

[@procrasy]

@@DressMeUpScotty Thank you! So much. I have a long dress I adore, but the fit on the back needs some intervention. This is perfect

[@miyayume_eclectic_dream]

Thank you. Not everybody, better to say just 5 maybe, are so forthcoming like you about how one feelsin it, how the dress is, what size fits and so. I would like the Psyche dress and most unusualy Ripples of Desire dress. But yes size is problem 😵‍💫

[@robynr]

I love the first cream dress that you didn’t try on. I would love to have that or recreate it. The one you are going to add a lace back on is gorgeous!!! I think the blue one is pretty as well. I’m a size 16/18 u.s. so their pieces most likely wouldn’t fit me. But they are fun to look at. And if I ever get that adventurous sewing I could possibly recreate something. 😄

[@roserocks1979]

I'm a 18/20 with DDD cup. So yeah no way would I fit into their sizes.

[@Roasted_Asparagus]

I was actually so excited when you mentioned the fallen angels corset dress because I'm considering getting that. But alas, the universe is not on my side today.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I actually have it now. I wore it in a KZbin short where I went to a gothic style cafe. I would say, as nice as it is, the zipper is ATROCIOUS. It takes all the kings horses and all the kings men to zip it up and it’s not even tight. The zipper just sucks.

[@Roasted_Asparagus]

@@DressMeUpScotty That's a shame...I have seen another comment mentioning something about how zipper quality is going down as a way to save costs. Do you think the dress is still worth it despite that? (thank you for taking the time to reply by the way, I'll look at the KZbin short!)

[@anastasiaaleinik8163]

You are gorgeous and those dresses look sooooo good on you …I am 34GG, so I can never have one, those would never fit😭😭😩

[@nlkeyser]

I went to the Bridgerton Ball last year and it was so fun!!

[@Rotten_Ralph]

I would love to see a video on lace up backs

[@sarahwales6276]

Beautiful dresses, they really suit you, so disappointing that they didn’t quite get there. As a 34 dd I wouldn't even try these unfortunately.

[@procrasy]

7:35 Could you show use how you replace the zipper with a lace back? I would love to use that trick but I can’t find an exemple of it applied on a pre-existing dress.

[@elinat2414]

Thank you for the review! I just ordered a dress and cardigan from them yesterday. I have slightly above average sized boobs (D cup), and ordered an XL in the dress, so fingers crossed, but im really doubting it now. I really think its insane that the bust measurement barely increases as you size up. I understand that many asian ladies do not have a large bust, but they are targeting a global market, not specifically east asia and the product should reflect the needs of the consumers they are targeting. Also for the vast majority of women, regardless of background, your boobs do get bigger of you gain weight, so having larger sizes with such small busts seems insane to me. I think the best solution in this case would be for them to just make the dresses more stretchy or have a lace back to make it work for a variety of body types.

[@alexandramaftei5680]

Hii! Love your review! Was really wondering what size you got for your Flower and Mirror Corset? I don't think you mentioned in the video and I was struggling with what to order 😅thank youu✨

[@frannygrace2191]

Love the corset on you!

[@LS-um3zq]

I like the first corset and the Nile Rose made you look like a goddess! Lacemade should do a little research into Western body sizes.

[@ms.caireenlounsbury8538]

The gold dress was my favorite

[@Nwladylaura369]

Love this brand’s styles. I think the light blue dress is the best! Bad thing is that I’m past the age (60+) of wearing these styles. And I am plus size.

[@jaciw]

They have a curve and plus line

[@hjordisoskarsdottir6873]

I´ll proudly stand on that hill with you. The Pride and prejudice mini series were way better than the movie.

[@angelinaduganNy]

Is that green item with the flowers behind you a tapestry? If it is where did you find it? It is beautiful. Thank you.😊

[@CrystalSea216]

The BBC pride & prejudice is far superior to the Keira nightly version. That's not to say I didn't like that version, I just thought that BBC did it better all around! My mom owns it. It's still one of my all-time favorites.

[@sephestra.]

You are correct, the BBC P&P miniseries from 1995 is the superior adaptation. And I will stand next to you on that hill.

[@forestwilde9882]

The background to your video is beautiful! What is the wall panel/flower piece, is that a tapestry? I'd love to get my hands on something like that. Much love ❤

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I got it from a photography backdrop shop. I think the name of the store was StarBackdrop.

do you also love the bbc sense and sensibility series from 2008!!! also, not jane austen, but the bbc 2017 little women is #1

[@donnacoleman4624]

Corset looks nice on u. Im about your size. If the company will adjust their patterns to allow for boobs and use better zips, I'd love to buy from them! Thanks for doing the review.

[@Anna-fw7lm]

They need models, to create their dresses on, that are not asians if they want to expand their market because it's not just about sizes, it's that different races are built differently, on average. We have different ratios (bust/legs or shoulders/hips etc) and also a different way of moving while wearing clothes. That said: what you wear is beautiful, I have headphones on and I've already said a lot of Wows You have a soothing voice, btw😻

[@jenniefowler4968]

When I shop online I look at the sizing charts. Because I had a bad shopping experience and couldn't return. I will be trying to fix the fit for those items or repurposing them

Yes BBC P & P was better, but 2005 is special because of how cinematically beautiful it was! I love them for different reasons.

[@jademartin4419]

The zippers man I have this same issue with lolita dresses

[@porcelina956]

The corset was stunning. I hate brands who have cheap zippers come on spend the extra pennies for a better zipper.

[@yensid4294]

I have found that most import clothing from Asia runs smaller than typical western sizing. Often by 2 or more sizes. Even American clothes can be challenging if you have a fuller bust & broader rib cage. I'm a G/H cup & plus size(16, 18, 20 depending). Even before sizing out of straight sizes I was a double or triple D & could never wear a tradional button down shirt, a corset top or anytthing strapless/off the shoulder. I usually look for a smocked back or smocked bodice especially if the dress is 100% cotton or has no stretch. Tie backs can help too. I've noticed that clothing relies on lycra now & rarely has bust darts, princess seams, pin tucks, gathers, etc. Everything is unlined too. And yes, the quality of zippers & buttons is absolute crap. I try & avoid back zippers if I can since I've had to replace so many. I do basic repairs/changes with hand sewing & iron on tape but I have no experience with machine sewing so alterrations must be taken to a seamstress (usually offered at dry cleaners) I would like to get a corset/vest & corset style strapless bra custom made when our finances allow it. The fairy dress with the barbed wire straps was gorgeous on you. I agree regarding the straps, they should have been braided from a soft fabric or slighter thicker & seamless. I get the vine aesthetic they were going for but it could have been executed more thoughtfully. But the dress was amazing aesthetically & you looked amazing in it. Hope you got to keep it & wear it 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

[@roserocks1979]

I'm a DDD and no way could I smush enough to fit in those.

[@OlivReme]

I wanted to try this style, but I don't know how long these dresses can last after washing. And it's not cheap here, sucks to be poor 😂

[@an81angel]

I adore the Camellia Dress. The link for that specific dress is invalid.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

It’s not available anymore as far as I know.

[@an81angel]

@@DressMeUpScotty Sad that they ask you to review dresses and then remove one of them from the shop mere months later. Thanks for the reply.

[@sundaesx]

just wish they would be more size inclusive.. they go up to XL but with their sizing i would likely need an XXL..

[@DressMeUpScotty]

They do technically have a section called Curve & Plus with more sizes (1XL-4XL). However and their straight sizes run very small I would consult the size chart for each individual item.

[@antiquebeast]

Me in the back: no love for 1980s P&P ? 😢😂

[@justme-qd6qb]

Im still on the fence about ordering... It seems like beautiful dresses and decent quality but kind of hit or miss... I have a really small bust so that shouldn't be an issue, but still it's a lot of money. If someone has suggestions for a store (small business is a plus!) with similar styles I would really appreciate it! I have been looking around but it's kind of hard to find smaller shops sometimes...

[@autumnatic]

The comments about it always being too tight on your chest makes me want to buy things from there more. My small chest is forever drowning in collapsed crinkles. It's hard to shop for tops in my body type in the US where everyone else seems to need large cups. But then again... if their Large fits you they probably don't have a size for someone of my height and weight! (No I'm not fat, but Asian sizes are insanely tiny.)

invisible zippers are terrible and I don't understand why they put zippers in the back instead of on the side. For one thing, a side zipper can be done up without any help from the husband/wife I do not have.

I'm very aware that these seem super overpriced, very generically made, the materials seem kinda mid too.

[@mobstercrow7515]

Make sure you always season your corset, even if it is just a fashion corset you will wear once a month, you need to season it or else you will damage the corset and your body. I tightlace daily, lucyscorsetry has a lot of good videos on corsets. I made sure to contact the corset maker before I bought my corsets to make sure they were okay for tightlacing. Do not use a cheap corset for tightlacing or daily wear. Make sure you properly season your corset, choose the proper size, ALWAYS contact the makers and send them your measurements so they can tell you what size you are and which corsets will fit you because every corset is made differently, make sure the grommets are ALWAYS straight in the back, if they are not, then you have an improper corset size. If you are very curvy like me, make sure you get a curvy corset. I have a size 24 hourglass corset, and a size 24 pear corset. I have a pear body so the pear shaped corset fits me the best. The hourglass can fit me if I keep it a bit loose, but I can fully close the top of the corset, but not the bottom. You want your corset to be the same size when you close it as much as possible, if the bottom closes more than the top, you have the wrong size or model of corset. If you are like me and you can fully close the top but not the bottom, you have the wrong size or model. Make sure you always contact the makers before you buy a corset, not every model will work for you, corsets come in a lot of different styles and sizes so they can fit every single body shape. It's not like buying a tshirt, it's very complex. Make sure you wear a properly sized corset and if you only wear a corset a handful of times a month for fashion reasons, make sure it is loose so you don't hurt yourself or the corset!
