This is my one Taobao dress and I love it. I wear it all the time. It's comfy, versatile, long enough for my tall self, and has (deep!) pockets. The fabric also feels fairly rugged so I'm not afraid of it getting ruined or anything. It's not a type of fabric I've ever had a brand dress be made of. It's got a low pile, almost like if velvet and faux suede had a baby? And it has a bit of stretch to it. Dunno what that fabric is called. I wear the dress without the waist tie belt thing as I find it looks awkward with it on.

The rest of my wardrobe is brand. I did own a Surface Spell dress for a long time (The Nightingale and the Rose embroidery JSK) and it was lovely quality. I must have bought it 6 or 7 years ago? It was a major dream dress for me at the time. I saw it and immediately fell in love with it, and lusted after it for months before finally taking the plunge (I was in my late teens and finishing highschool, so didn't have a lot of money). The embroidery was really well done, and the lace was stunning. However, the green eventually ran into the white part in the wash. I'm not sure what caused it, as I had washed it a number of times prior and it was fine. Maybe I switched detergents or something. I stopped wearing it after that.
