review: beige waterfall coat from beautiful halo


hello my angels! in the second part of my review i'm going to review the beige waterfall coat from beautiful halo.
if you don't know beautiful halo by now, it's a china-based online store that offers a big variety of really fashionable clothing such as dresses and various tops and bottoms of different styles for fair prices.




i placed my order on december 1st and received a shipping confirmation on december 12th.
the package finally arrived on my doorstep on january 15th
. so the overall process took 40 workdays which is quite long - but considering it was holiday season i guess it's okay.


the items came in the typical dark grey envelope.


the package contained the kindly kitsch & xoxo sweatshirt which i talked about in my last review and the beige waterfall coat


some further information about the sweatshirt:

price: 19.47€ / $23.21
material: cotton / cotton blend
size: s, m, l, xl
s: bust: 88cm; lenght: 80cm; shoulder: 36cm
m: bust: 92cm; lenght: 81cm; shoulder: 37cm
l: bust: 96cm; lenght: 82cm; shoulder: 38cm
xl: bust: 100cm; lenght: 83cm; shoulder: 39cm



the coat came in its individual package (which i found very cute btw~) for extra safety!

the front of the coat;

the first thing i noticed when opening the package was that the product i received doesn't really match the product which was advertised on the site.
whereas the color of the stock photo is more of a browny beige, the real color is rather a pinky flesh color.
also the material looked much thicker on the website whereas the real product feels really thin.
the fabric reminds me more of a blouse than a coat.

the coat has fake pockets on both sides
(i wish they were real pockets ;A;)

on both sleeves you have to roll up the sleeves by using this button;
sadly, you can't really wear the coat with both sleeves down because there is actually an ugly seam underneath the fold which can only be seen when the sleeve isn't rolled up.
also the button hole on both sides where way to small for the big button so i had to cut them more open.


i was rather pleased with the seams because except for one part (the right photo) they were quite neat
(which is definitely not usual for such low-priced clothing)


i wasn't really sure how i should style this coat so i simply threw on a slightly oversized sweatshirt and paired it with the same dark washed jeans i wore in my last review.



i'm not that happy with how it fits me because i think the coat is kinda unflattering (but this could also only be because i'm a tiny potato)

shipping & packaging
the shipping took quite long; yes, it was holiday season so i guess it's natural that the shipping takes a bit longer during this time but i still wish that the process would have gone faster considering that i already placed my order on december 1st.
however the package arrived in perfect condition with no rips.

customer service
in my opinion beautiful halo's customer service is a+! 
they always reply within one workday and are very friendly and understanding.
this time they even emailed me to check if my package already arrived~

design
i really liked how the coat looked in the stock photos, that's why i'm a bit disappointed with how it really looks like.
the fabric is rather thin so it's doesn't really feel and look like a coat but rather like a blouse?
another minus point is that the actual color is more like a pinky flesh tone than a beige like it's presented in the stock photos.

quality & comfortableness
the quality was actually quite good.
however, even though i chose size m (normally i wear european xs or s) the sleeves and shoulder parts feel a bit tight wearing the coat.

overall
i'm disappointed with the fact that the product i received doesn't really match the stock photo in terms of the fabric and the color.
nevertheless, i actually think it's still a pretty clothing item if you're able to combine it with the right pieces.



thank you so much for reading until the end of this review and also a big thank you for making this possible! ♥
i wish you a nice day and until next time~
