Zapaka - Vintage inspired dress review


Happy New Year everyone! New year, same me. What's your projects for the roaring twenties? For me it's the same as always, traveling as much as possible! I'll start with a weekend in Marrakesh with my mother and my sister in a few days.
Anyway, we're not here to talk about my wanderlust, at least not in this entry. We're here to talk about clothes. Nothing's better than cute affordable clothes, don't you agree?

Today, I'd like to review a dress from the shop Zapaka
This is a sponsored review. They kindly sent me a dress so I can write you my true opinion about it. So, here we go. 


What is Zapaka ? "Created out of one girl's love for vintage clothing, Zapaka.com is here to serve like-minded retro and vintage-inspired fashion fiends"
First of all, what I like with Zapaka is that they take pictures of all their dresses. So the ones you see on the website are real, you should not have any bad surprise this way.


♥ The dress I choose it's the following one, in M size

The dress has been sent to me on December the 30th and I've received it on January the 2nd. I'm very pleased about how fast it was! I've received the dress in a plastic envelope, wrap in a cute zip plastic bag with the logo of the brand (I really like that kind of bag to be honest!).



The dress doesn't have any lining, but the fabric used is very soft and opaque. I love that the dress has pockets!!!! Another very good thing, is that it doesn't need ironing! I'm terribly lazy and I hate to iron my clothes. After washing it (at 30°C, using the machine machine),  just hung the dress and it will be ready to wear once dry!


About the color, it varies if you look at it inside or outside. It looks more bright outdoors, as you'll see in the worn pictures.

About the fit, I've nothing to say! I fit like a glove! M size was the perfect choice for me! It's very comfortable. PERFECT!
It's a beautiful dark green dress, simple enough to be worn day and night. That's why I've decided to make a day outfit and an evening outfit to show how with small different accessories you can twist your style and go out just after work.


 Day wear: 


I styled the dress with a mak sweater cardigan (review coming soon!), a brown beret, a vintage bag, and flats. During the day I'm very active, so flats are the best option for running around!




 
Evening Wear:

For the night I like to feel fancy. I added Vivienne Westwood earrings, a matching belt, a pair of leather gloves and true vintage shoes and hat.


So far, I'm very pleased with everything! My only criticism is that because of the lack of lining, the dress has a bit of static electricity when you wear tights. Nothing that can't be resolved with a bit of hairspray (apply a bit of hairspray on the inner side of the skirt, it works like magic for static electricity!) 


This dress is 42€. You can take en extra 15% with the code "EXTRA15".

What do you think? Do you like this dress as much as I do? 
A huge thank you to Zapaka for this collaboration ♥
