[SPONSORED] DOLLDEARSHOP REVIEW: Flower Bun Crown

Hello, everybody! It’s been a while since my last review but I’m back to do a sponsored review of a flower bun crown from (recently renamed) store called DollDearShop, previously known as DollDearCloset, It is a handmade goods shop as well as a closet shop so you should check them out because they have a wide variety of flower crowns and accessories!

~ Review below the cut ~

Story time (this can be skipped): A while back when I first got into being a fashion blogger or reviewer or whatever you want to call me, I saw that Karen on tumblr was offering sponsorships so I figured, why the hell not, and gave her my email. She emailed me on July 24th and we were discussing business, however, I could not give her my address because I was moving. Weeks later (probably one or two), I was finally able to give her a shipping address but I never received a reply through email nor when I messaged her on tumblr as of August 7th so I thought the partnership was off and just left it at that. Fast forward to October 3rd, Karen emails me again and has asked me to review a flower bun crown instead of a full flower crown (money saving reasons, of course) in which I accepted.

Anyway, aside from all that, I want to reiterate that this is a sponsored review! However, it’s still unbiased due to this being my first review over a flower (bun) crown. On to the actual review~

Packaging

The crown came to me in a standard bubble wrap lined envelope, except it was in pink! Which is cute to me because I’ve never received things in a colored envelope. The flower crown was wrapped around chunks of tissue paper, possibly for more cushion, and gold streamers for decoration. I didn’t take a picture of it because it wasn’t that important but some of the flowers were misshapen due to shipping but they weren’t completely flat to the point that they weren’t fixable so that’s good

Package Contents

It came with a little thank you note.

This is the bun crown I chose to review  - Despite all of the crowns being extremely cute, the variety was limited (at that time) and I was hoping for a more darker selection of colors for fall (but hey! now they do have darker colored ones so go check that out). I chose this one because it was the darkest one that I liked and it would go with more of my clothing. 

Stock Photo

As you can see, you can secure the crown by tying ribbon that’s attached to it; the ribbon is long enough for you to not struggle with tying it but not excessively long to the point where you’d have the tails of it dangling around your head.

Worn photos - And I’m sorry, I’m not actually wearing a bun, rather I’m wearing a messy… bow? My hair was wet and not complying so this was the best I can do.

I also apologize for the bright light in the second photo

Overall: Communication was very good when it came to exchanging information (ignoring the lack of communication for months). The shipping was good and the packaging was cute. The flower crown was not actually damaged, just one or two were slightly misshapen. When comparing stock photos and looking at the flower crown in real life, it looks exactly the same aside from how they appear different in size; the stock photo made the crown look bigger. The flowers did not visibly appear extremely cheap and were very realistic. The band or actual crown portion was not falling apart and was secured fairly well. The ribbon can easily be taken out from the crown but the chances of the ribbon untying itself and falling off the crown when it being worn is very slim. There’s not much else to say about it. It’s very lovely. >~< There’s a chance I might cave and actually get one of her dark colored flower crowns or a peach flower crown for a cosplay.

Anyway, that is my first review over DollDearShop and flower crowns in general so excuse my lack of knowledge on how to go about this review. You can get this crown here (I’m sure there’s limited stock/this is the only one because they’re all handmade). You should also check out the closet portion of her shop because she has some cute secondhand clothing!  You can also follow the owner if you have similar taste because her blog is lovely.
