Lemon Honey: Summer Parfait

 

I wanted to share some dresses that are not from Angelic Pretty so here's the super cute print series Summer Parfait from the brand Lemon Honey. This lovely dress comes as both an OP and a JSK. Lemon Honey is a Chinese brand that sells their clothes on taobao. The make a lot of really cute prints!

This dress has a really cute border print with a dessert drink theme. The drinks reminds me of really cute ones you can get at some Japanese themed cafés. The art style looks a bit like watercolor and has a lot of details. I like that the print has a kind of scalloped design, you can see it much more clearly on the navy colorway. But the effect is lost by the print not being perfectly aligned with the bottom of the dress. This not being as visual on the blue colorway also makes the misalignment less obvious. Considering the price I think the pattern not being perfect is acceptable to be honest. The scalloped lace trim is really nice, it makes a nice edge of the dress before the frilled longer trim. 

The OP has half shirring and the jsk has full shirring, looks really comfortable! They also come in different size options making them fit a wide range of sizes. I think both colorways are really cute, the blue one is more pastel, but the navy has a brighter print with the contrast. I would really recommend this brand if you are looking for really cute original prints for a lower price and with more sizing options. They release a lot of really pretty print series.

Thanks for reading! Let me know if you would like me to feature more different brands on my blog.

Royal Princess Alice: Twinkle Snow Carnival

Royal Princess Alice has a new print called Twinkle Snow Carnival. I think it looks like a boring winter version of Castle Mirage. The characters on the print look so tacked on since they are in a compleatly different style than the rest of the print and I feel like there is something off with them. I think the whole print would of been better without them altogether if they are not going to match the style of the castle. The name of the brand in the print looks so pasted on there that I looked at different pictures to be sure that it was actually on the print and not just on these pictures. The scale if way too big for the cut since it barely fits onto the dress. The part above the boarder is really really boring, they could of just had it be a night sky with snowflakes falling down and it would of looked much better. I wish they would at least have a more interesting cut, this just leaves no room for coording it creatively. I'm not really impressed.
