Black Milk Purple Galaxy Dress!

As a birthday present, my husband ordered me a purple Galaxy Dress from Black Milk Clothing!
From what I've read though, they'll be discontinuing all of the galaxy prints within the next month or so :[ So if you want to grab one, make it quick!

Isn't it just beautiful to look at * A* ♥

Comes in XS, S, M, and L.
Composition: Polyester/Elsatane
Washing: Please hand wash cool.
Designer: James Lillis
Made in Australia


My husband ordered me a Small and it fits wonderfully! Normally I'm a small/medium since my measurements don't fall in the same size but the stretch and the cut to this dress allows me to fit into a small comfortably! Here's the link to their Sizing Chart.

However, comfortable to me can be different to others. If you prefer something that fits, but isn't "fitting", then go up a size. This definitely hugs, but that's kind of the point. Even if you're insecure about fitted clothes, the prints they use for the dresses are so fabulous I feel as if it would distract from any of your insecurities. At least it does with me xD The print and quality is just A+++! Even the cut I was unsure of. I didn't think it would look right on me, but I guess the simplicity of it just suits due to the extravagant print.

From reading other buyer's comments, this dress can be short but it's actually long on me since I'm 4'11". Though it does ride up as I walk since it lightly tapers in at the bottom and the fabric is just so soft. So even I find myself pulling it down when I get up or walk. Though the great thing about this dress is for those who actually have a behind, unlike me, they actually have a slope on the bottom of the dress in the back so it has a little extra coverage :] It's a very smart design since some girls can't wear certain skirts/dresses for the reason that it lifts too much in the back. It's the same for girls who have bigger bussoms! The cut is high on top in front of the dress so you can control whether you want to cover up more or pull down and show more.

I'd say the only downside so far, is that it won't offer much warmth during winter times, but that's when you accessorize ;D If I had the leggings, I'd probably wear knee-high or thigh-high boots with a long top to cover my cold tuckus, haha!



         Super stretchy! Haha!



As for the fabric, oh my goodness... It's like, I don't even know how to describe the feeling it gives me, hahahah! It's so incredibly soft, breathable, stretchy, light, and strong. It's GREAT quality. They picked the perfect fabric for a dress like this.

Even the print is koala tea. It's clear, not blurry or pixelated, and the colors are crisp and bright. These pictures were only photoshopped to make the pictures lighter since they were originally pretty dark. When I got my package in person, I couldn't believe how amazing the dress looked and felt in person.

Now, when it comes to price, it definitely is up there for people who prefer to spend like me. Which is very calculating, practical, and cheap, haha! I only ever buy anything over $30 when it's for a special occasion or it's needed. In this case, my husband bought this for me for my birthday and I'm very grateful! I wouldn't give it back at all xD If you can afford this without it making you wince, you'll get addicted to their clothing the instant you put it on!

Hell, on their Facebook, the designer has made status updates saying that your bills are more important than buying their clothes, hahaha! It's crazy and they have such dedicated customers! Which makes sense since they respond rather quickly to emails, interact on their FB, and my package was supposed to come in between 1 or 3 weeks, but instead, came in 1 week! ON MY BIRTHDAY! It was AWESOME xD I can't guarantee it'll happen for everyone, but that was just the whipped cream to me x] ♥

Wore it to church!        




I've only worn this dress out once so far (it's like I want to save it's purity xDDDD) and this is how I wore it out :] It's very versatile! At home I've played dress up and it's great as a top to a high waisted skirt and a skirt underneath a top and really cute with a cardigan or pants! It's become one of my absolute favorite items on my clothes rack. ♥

I'll actually be using this dress as part of my "Before and After" weight loss since it's very fitting. Can't wait to see how it looks on me when I'm done! I've got an older before and after when I was two dress sizes bigger, but I didn't use any certain clothes to measure my weight loss so you don't see the over all difference. Regardless, I'm happy to see any difference at all :] So proud of myself! Just going on another push!

Anyways, this was definitely a worthwhile buy/gift. I'm satisfied even with just one piece from them!


Until next time! ♥
