Sizing

When I was looking at the clothing on the website and looking at what they had in my size I discovered that the sizing is a little different to the UK sizing system so firstly I was a bit flustered as to what size I should select for my different items of clothing, but thankfully after scrolling down the page they have a size conversion chart so that you are able to compare your countries sizes to the sizes of their items available. So therefore the conversion is simple and you don't have to try and guess your size. In UK clothing I'm a size 8 and sometimes a size 6 depending on the type of clothing and where I've brought it from, so on Sammydress I'm a size Medium (6-8).

Receiving the items/shipping time
 
I was sent three items from their summer collection including a tank top/crop top, and two rompers/play-suits. On the website and the emails I received from them it stated that my order could take up to 1-2 weeks to be delivered and I was so impressed that I received the package within 6 days which I did not expect. My parcel was delivered by DHL and there was no fault with the packaging, they were all individually packaged and then put in a bigger envelope seal. None of the package was faulty or damaged and the clothing was packed neatly into different sealed wrappers. So far with the shipping time and how it was packaged and presented I am very impressed. 
 
Customer Service

The customer service at Sammydress has been great! They were so lovely and friendly and if I were to have any problems with the order they were happy to resolve it all for me and help me with any other problems that might have occurred. They are an honest and reliable team and luckily I haven't experienced any problems with the clothing or shipping, but if I did they would be able to help me and resolve the problem quickly. 
 
The overall buying and receiving experience was very good and I'm even more impressed with the clothing itself. 
I chose this item as it is very summery and bright, and I don't have any other tops like it. For summer I like to wear cute little tank tops and pair them with shorts or a  skirt. Most of my tank tops are plain and quite boring compared to this design. I've always liked my summer clothing to be fun and to be bright and colourful! Seeing as its been warming up recently here in England its been perfect to wear when I've been going out. Due to it being a short styled top I've either paired it with some high waisted jeans, high waisted shorts or a skirt.  Because of the design and print of the top I've only been able to pair it with plain and subtle coloured trousers or bottoms like black or navy. Unfortunately due to it being yellow you can't pair it with many other colours but for me that's fine  because my jeans, shorts and skirts are either blue or black or a jean design so therefore it goes with most of my outfits in my wardrobe.

I really like how this top looks on as well, its not too short that your stomach is on constant show but its not too long that it looks to big and oversized. And because of my petite size and not being very busty it suits my figure and doesn't make me feel like I need to make up for what I haven't got. The quality of the top is very good! The material of the top is like any average top and isn't a thin cheap material but isn't really thick either. Its so soft and isn't too tight around the arms or neck. Furthermore, the stitching is great on the top, there isn't any dodgy stitching or missing stitches and it looks like the stitching won't fray or come loose after being washed and ironed. Furthermore, the print on the top looks like it has been done very well and doesn't look like it will start fading after too many washes. You know sometimes when you buy a top and on the front there is a print that has ben pressed on and then after a while of wearing the top it starts to fade, well with this top its been printed differently so it doesn't look like the pattern can fade or start to peel off which is great!

The price of this top is £5.74 which is a great price! Considering the quality and how fitting the top is its better than I expected. If I saw this top in a retail store while I was shopping I'd expect it to be priced around £7.99 or £8.99, so this price is great! :)

I would love to take this top on holiday and wear it on the beach but I have to wait till December so I'll just have to hope for good weather here in England haha :)

I have many black dresses but I've never had a black romper/ playsuit before so this is perfect for this summer as it will be a great outfit choice for a meal out or for a night out with friends. What is great about this romper is that you can wear it casually with a pair of slip on ballet shoes or sneakers and then you can dress it up with a pair of heels or boots. It would be so cute for a date night and I'm excited to be able to wear it out so much this summer and take it to university with me, especially for freshers week! I really liked this romper as I knew I could wear it in the day and out at night and it will work for multiple different occasions. My favourite part to this romper is the spaghetti strap criss-cross at the front which covers the chest, because instead of accessorising with a necklace it has already added something to the outfit and a choker would look great with it on a night out. Furthermore, the elasticated waist is great as it accentuates my waist and shows off more of my figure. If the waist wasn't elasticated I wouldn't like this romper as it would be way too oversized and wouldn't look good on me at all. So thankfully the elasticated waist compliments the romper!

The quality of the romper is great! Probably the best quality out of the three items I received. This romper is lined with a silky material on the inside and then the black chiffon material is then stitched on top, so that the material isn't see through and it looks great with the chiffon on top of the black silk lining. Also, to fasten the top part of the romper there is a little button to tighten it and it is a bit fiddly because of how small the button is but its been attached to the romper properly so it doesn't look like it can be pulled off my accident or the button can unravel from the stitching. I think overall the material and quality of this romper is the best I've seen and its so comfortable. The material isn't itchy and you don't have to worry about snagging the material because this material doesn't seem to snag.

When I first saw the romper I thought it would be around £20 but actually its only £7.81 which really shocked me! Due to the quality and design of the romper its looks like it would be priced so much higher! I would buy another romper like this without hesitating! I wore this out to a family meal last Tuesday and it was so comfortable and even when I  was really full and bloated after eating you couldn't even tell :P

I can't wait to wear this out more often and accessorise it with different heels and jewellery. If I was to change one thing about the romper it would be to make the elastic waist a bit tighter as I have a very small and petite waist so it would be nice if it was a bit tighter!

Ethnic Style V-Neck 3/4 Sleeve Leaf Print Romper

I am in love with this romper! This is my favourite piece of clothing from the package and I've worn it so much! Its quite loose fitting around the arms and legs so its very comfortable and isn't restricting. And you can then adjust the waist size with the waist tie and make it more figure hugging around your torso. The quality of the clothing is very good, the material does crease easily and so if its folded up it will wrinkle all over so I've tended to hang it up in the wardrobe to reduce the creases. But due to the type of thin material it is it can leave wrinkles quite easily. The material is thin but the denier is quite high so you can't see through the romper so there were no flashes of my underwear haha! I really like the material of the romper as its light wear and comfortable, its great for packing in suitcases as it hardly takes up any room and doesn't weigh the suitcase down. 

The quality of the romper is good for the thin material it is. In the future after a bit of wear the stiches may start to come undone at the bottom but at the moment the quality is great! Because of the thin material I do have to be careful with the zip because I worry that if I pull too hard the material might tear or the stitches might be forced to come undone, but other than the romper being very delicate and having to be a bit gentle due to the material type and the stitch type the material is great, especially for a summer collection piece.  The pattern of the romper I really like! Instead of just a plain romper I like patterns so that I can pair them with plain shoes or accessories. If I was to change anything about the romper it would be the white tassels on the waist tie. I do like the waist tie as it helps make the romper more figure hugging and adds something to the waistline but I would prefer it if the waist tie was just plain and patterned without the tassels. But other than that the romper is perfect. The price also for this romper is amazing! In Topshop rompers around the same design and style are prices at around £45 to £50 and in New Look they are about £20 so £9.70 for this romper is great! Recently I've been saving up for university so being able to buy good quality clothing for such a great price is perfect!

I love the way this romper looks on, I don't have the best curves and my body shape is very petite but I love the way it shows off my waist and isn't too long on my legs. Its so comfy and because of the material it would be perfect for hot weather conditions like when you go on holiday abroad somewhere. Unfortunately I'm not going on holiday till December but least I can still wear it to summer parties this summer! :)
