WHAT'S NEW IN KATE'S CLOSET This week, Kate debuted three new pieces from her closet: REPLIKATE ROUNDUP My favourite repliKate finds of the week ... REPLIKATE REVIEW I know some of you hesitate to buy repliKates from AliExpress or eBay due to concerns about sizing and quality. I thought this space would be a good opportunity for us to review our repliKate purchases. If you would like to submit a review of your recent purchase, please shoot through an email to admin@katescloset.com.au. Please include a short review about the quality and fit, the product link and photos (optional but recommended). ---------- Giulia Giusto kindly posted a review and photos of her wearing this gorgeous repliKate of the Prabal Gurung dress from AliExpress: "The dress is very good, the quality of the fabric surprised me, it is thick, soft and every seam is perfect, it has liner and the... zip is invisible. The fabric, as the original dress, is a little bit shiny, colors are a bit brighter than the PG dress. The details are not exact the same but for the price it is an amazing piece!" Click to buy from AliExpress > ---------- Marianna posted the following review about the stunning Suzannah Budding Hearts repliKate dress she purchased from eBay: "I ordered the Green Floral Budding Heart Print Tea Silk Vintage Dress from eBay. The dress is a real bargain at £31.99 (about $48), plus £6 (about $9) worldwide signed-for shipping. Shipping took quite some time: I ordered the dress on 17 August and it only shipped on 26 August. Afterwards, it took about a month for it to get to me in Italy with registered postage, and I received it on 29 September. Anyway, dealing with the seller was a pleasure, as they always replied to emails straight away. Listed as being 80% viscose and 20% silk, the dress is, thankfully, much less shiny in person than it looks in the listing photos. The fabric is reasonably good quality, although I very much doubt it's silk-mix. The cut looks a lot like the original Suzannah dress, down to the skirt part being lined in a white fabric, and the print is almost identical. The main difference I noticed is, in the eBay copy the white hearts have a black/dark grey contour, which is absent in the original print. I'm usually a UK size 12, I got the size 14, as I was worried it'd run small, and it fits me perfectly. The dress is available in UK sizes 8-18. I found the measurements supplied were fairly accurate; plus, at 101 cm long, the dress is the perfect lenght for me (I'm 168 cm tall). My original blog post on the subject can be found here."
