Shenbolan dress in my review

One of 5 dresses I've ordered from this company. All 5 sent back. Doesn't fit true to size.I've had issues with all 5 dresses.

Pros
  • Ideal for festival and party wear
Cons
  • The sleeves may be too long or too short

Nice garment good for me

The colors and the material. Although sort of light wait it was well made. I will buy other garments in the future. It fit very nicely. Will need to iron it to lay the side down but overall I like it!

Pros
  • Perfect for cultural events
Cons
  • The print may be too busy for some people

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't fit well for my opinion

Too large. Purchased a 3x probably needed two sizes smaller I'm normally an XL to L I probably needed a 1X. I sent it back and will not repurchase. The fabric is beautiful and I really love it.

Pros
  • A fashionable way to represent one’s culture
Cons
  • The top may not be suitable for all body shapes

Great Blouse to Dress Up or Down

This modern "African" blouse I wore to a Black History Month event at my church received many compliments! The close to body fit and flared bottom is a nice design for someone who wants to hide a "muffin top". The blouse design can be dressed up with a pencil skirt or dress slacks or down with a pair of jeggings or skinny jeans!

Pros
  • Supports a small business
Cons
  • The seams may fray easily

Fits snug, no give in my review

This top was perfect for my family photos. It is made very well. And fits like a glove. If you dont want a snug fit, go one size up.

Pros
  • A statement piece for fashion enthusiasts
Cons
  • The fabric may not be hypoallergenic

Great product/Did not receive in great condition

Nice top. Great colors. Have to return because I have just received it with a tear at the bottom of the zipper. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit for all body types
Cons
  • The maintenance of the top may be complex

Beautiful but runs small!

I had to return due to my size not available. You want to go up one size due to running small. This product does not stretch at all. Very beautiful though!

Pros
  • Really cute but the material is very stiff
Cons
  • The print might not be to everyone's taste

Did not fit was way to big

Read the reviews and some said to order a size up but it was wayyyy to big,, I wish I had ordered my regular size,, it would have been perfect,,

Pros
  • Celebrates African heritage
Cons
  • The fabric may not be soft enough

The material appeared to be Of good quality, thick and most likely authentic wax fabric. The colors were bold and the sewing was fine. However, the zipper felt VERY cheap. It was plastic and with each attempt to move it, it stalled or hit snags. Once I re-zipped the top, I was afraid to pull the zipper down again because I feel that it would have separated and would require a brand new zipper to be installed. Because of this and sizing, I have the top 4 stars, but had it fit (the top is cut…

Pros
  • Great for travel
Cons
  • The top may not be practical for everyday wear

I may love it. on my review.

Mixed feelings about this. Weirdly tight around the bust area--like flattens them. I ordered a XXL and I'm a 38D. I'm working out and losing weight, so I kept it cause it was the last one or so it claimed and I think, if I drop a few inches, I may love it.

Pros
  • Can be layered with jackets or cardigans
Cons
  • The top may not be comfortable for all bust sizes

Way too small on my review.

I gave it two stars only because it is beautiful. Other than that, it didn't fit, especially in the chest area. I ordered up, and it still didn't work out.

Pros
  • Super cute. Fit my waist perfectly. But, My breast looked bashed in a bit. Got plenty of compliments.
Cons
  • Love this print but runs small

Trust your size for my opinion

I read the size chart and reviews and most suggested to size up and not order your regular size, however, I should’ve ordered my regular size. IDK if the fit was different because I’m not busty. It was too big all around and there are no size XL available. If it fit it would have been beautiful.

Pros
  • Beautiful fit. I got so many compliments.
Cons
  • Material was a little stiff and fit was a little snug but I like the design.

Looks exactly as the picture

Beautiful top made of quality fabric. The zipper is a little flimsy but not a big deal. However it didn’t fit me as expected. I was hoping it would hide my muffin top, while it did it also made me look 50 pounds heavier, because it stuck out so far. I’m hoping that I can steam the bottom of the top to become slightly softer. Overall it’s a great buy for a reasonable price.

Pros
  • A conversation piece
Cons
  • The pattern may not be versatile enough for all occasions

Stiffness of fabric very disappointing.

Although I appreciate the quality of the waxed cotton and the craftsmanship of this garment, the waxed cotton does not lend itself to this style. The peplum is very full and the fabric is too stiff so it sticks out like a tutu. Not a very becoming or slimming look. Based on earlier reviews it appears a change in the fabric was made since the earlier posts. Likewise I can see a difference in the pattern I received versus the customer photos of what I thought I was going to receive. Very…

Pros
  • Sustainable and ethical production
Cons
  • The top may pill after multiple wears

Save your money and buy something else.

Very cheap material. Thin but strangely feels like it would make you sweat. Very small fit. Went up a size as I read the size chart but this top is just not for big breasts. My chest is larger than most at 40F. If youre plus size over a 1X with any breasts at all, don’t bother. It’s not worth the price anyhow. I never write bad reviews but this product is terrible. Even for a one time wear.

Pros
  • Can be dressed up or down
Cons
  • The top may not suit every skin tone

Not what I expected

This top looks way better online than it does in person. The material is not of washcloth. It looks like a cheap top that one might buy at a beauty supply store. I'm returning it.

Pros
  • Compliments any skin tone
Cons
  • The print may be too bold for some people

Stiff material for my opinion

I like the style of the item but the fabric is very STIFF. What material is this made with? I don’t like the hard feel to the fabric.

Pros
  • Eye-catching African style
Cons
  • The top may be difficult to style with other items

I loved this top for my opinion

I loved this top, it just didn't look good on me. It's absolutely beautiful and well made. I read the reviews and ordered an 4XL (I wear a 14/16) and could have done better with a 3XL. Again the top is beautiful, it just didn't flatter me.

Pros
  • Fits with various fashion aesthetics
Cons
  • The fabric may be too scratchy

IT'S REAL AFRICAN WAX CLOTH

Hi Shenbolen, I wanted to say thank you for being one of the sellers who ship the merchandise right away. I have bought African Clothing before and was extremely disappointed due to the lack of its authenticity. This garment is wonderfully made and I LOVE that its actually 100% African Wax Printed material. To wear something beautifully constructed and with the right material -I thank you and thank you again. I will tell others about your handmade products and will continue to purchase your…

Pros
  • Can be dressed up with heels and jewelry
Cons
  • The top may not be suitable for different professions

Runs extremely small

Beautiful color however it runs pretty small. I orderd a large but it felt like a medium. The fabric doesn't give, it's very stiff.

Pros
  • Superb craftsmanship
Cons
  • The top may not be easy to layer with
