Rose Melody / QCute Review- Updated with 'worn' pictures

Most of us know about QCute already, but they have just started providing Rose Melody lolita store garments. I ordered one of the JSKs and thought I'd do a quick review to give people an idea of the quality of this new brand.

First of all, QCute's service is always amazing. I've ordered from them several times and have always been impressed with their swift communication, great prices and eagerness to help in any way they can. I highly recommend them. So, onto the dress!

Brand: Rose Melody Lolita Store (http://qcute.livejournal.com/22191.html#cutid1)
Dress: I bought the "Angel of Music" JSK from the above link. You can see stock pictures there.

The dress arrived in a sealed plastic bag inside an EMS satchel. It was very wrinkled from being folded up, but the soft chiffon-y fabric is probably prone to that.

Straight out of the bag and onto a hanger.

Quality: The quality is top notch considering the price, I paid about $120 AUSTRALIAN dollars, and that price includes shipping via EMS and custom sizing. The dress is fully lined with an invisible zipper and six panels of silver thread embroidery. Construction is solid with all seams finished well and everything looks great. Overall I'm VERY impressed with the quality of the garment.

Custom Sizing: I gave my measurements for a custom size, and the dress I got fits perfectly. 

Service Time: I was quoted approx. 20 days for the dress to be made... but I got an email less than a week later saying it had been finished ahead of schedule! Again, I was impressed as obviously this brand gets stuff done as fast as they can and still maintain good quality.

The two tags... one sewn into the back of the bodice and another cardboard tag attached with a clear plastic tag thing. 'Rose' is misspelt 'Roes'. :) You can see the shiny inner lining here, kind of.

I only have two complaints, and they're pretty minor. One of the bodice buttons is a little loose so it doesn't sit tight against the bodice, and the zipper is a bit sticky. Those are the only flaws I could find though after going over it carefully.

Overall: I'm VERY happy with the dress. Quality is beautiful, service was great, everything looks very professional. I would definitely buy from Rose Melody via QCute again.

Worn:






Any questions just ask! :)

I have a question though, how do you change the money on paypal to HKD? =[

[info]cthonical

April 27 2009, 00:34:09 UTC 3 years ago

If they invoice you, they do it in HKD and paypal should automatically do the calculations and change for you. :)

Thank you so much! I really wanted this dress, but I was worried how good they were at custom sizes. Yay!

Obviously it's really important to give them accurate measurements, but so long as you do you should be right. It really does fit like a glove, it's lovely. ^__^ *can't wait to get some nice worn pictures*

awesome. i just ordered something from the same service/brand. This is good to hear. What are the words on the embroidery?

[info]cthonical

April 27 2009, 03:47:18 UTC 3 years ago

I actually don't know... I'm pretty sure it's latin, but the script font it's done in combined with the fact it's embroidered on makes some of the words sort of blend together. It looks nice, but it's not actually very readable. XD I'll have a closer look and see if I can run it through a translator.

is it just me or is that tag Imai Kira's art O_O?

A friend was pondering to buy the same dress in white, so this review is very helpful. Thank you for posting it! (^^)

Oh, HUZZAH! Thanks for your review :D I recently ordered the same dress (but with gold print instead of silver), so it's very reassuring to hear it's good quality.

I'm also very happy you posted this. I have been mulling over that black 2 piece dress for a while now.

i'm happy to read the quality is actually good, i just hate the fact they stole Kira Imai's art for the tags :/

[info]cthonical

April 28 2009, 22:54:09 UTC 3 years ago

I ordered on the 12th and received the dress on the 27th. That includes postage time which took seven days because of the busy post leading up to a big holiday in China.
