Neat, systematic and user friendly. These are the words that are used to describe Chicadale's website.
It's basically an e-commerce website with no hassle to create and login to account, and invoices are auto-generated for the collections.
They regularly updates "Available items" for easy viewing and references. You may even track your parcel at "Parcel Tracking" regardless whether you've opted for normal or registered postage.
And (from my shopping experience) I am surprised that they update it almost immediately and promptly.
What really differentiate Chicadale from the many competitors are they make an effort to provide self collection and mass meet up, items are affordable and all prices include normal postage with COP (Certificate of Posting).
And like what all customers prefer, they have facebook and twitter which we can get immediate attention & reply. They also offer exclusive preview, discounts & updates to all mailing listees!
So what did i get from Chicadale?
If you were just like me, is hunting for a pencil or high waisted skirt for work and have never-ending reasons not to purchase from brick & mortar stores, or is bored with all the simple designs. This is what i have for YOU:
Chicadale - High Waisted Peplum Skirt
The material is definitely comparable to what you can find outside. It is made of thick quality cotton (does not fur) & is non-stretchable. There's no back slit but it does not restrict movements, in fact i can even run in it.
The peplum design will not emphasize or makes your hips look wider. Instead, it adds a touch of uniqueness to a simple high waisted skirt. Did I mention that the 2 vertical lines (as shown on picture) will actually makes you look slimmer?
Featuring hidden zip at back (no smocked back! yeah!!) for easy wearing. The zip is not smooth but no major problem in zipping. Front and back design is the same except that the back does not have any vertical lines.
Length of 19" is just right for my height at 166cm and skirt falls 3" above my knee. The fit is good although there are still space at my waist which causes it to ride up when i walk too fast.
6 of my female colleagues (Jennifer, Grace, my online shopping buddy, Jean, Kriselle & Amber) and my eldest sister couldn't stop complimenting how nice it looks. Overall, I am deeply satisfied with the skirt. The whole look is neither too plain nor exaggerating.
So, why pay such high price when you can get a good quality corporate skirt from chicadale at only S$26? Last piece available in black (Sz M), Grey (Sz S - OOS). What are you waiting for?!!
If you want something casual and different, I would recommend Chicadale's Laced Throwover with Striped Halter Tunic . Good thing is, It's 2 pieces for the price of one! You may wear it like the model or be creative to mix & match!
If you are a beach-goer, you may throw on either the lace top or halter tunic over your bikini and treat it as a bikini top. If you are daring enough and wants to look sexier, you may just wear a tube to pair with the lace throwover.
As for me, i prefer to wear the lace throwover with a black bandage dress & a rock-chic killer heels or even an inner white piece with denim shorts/skirt for lazy days.
The fabric for the 2 tops are stretchy and comfortable. The throwover is meant to be slouchy and can be worn off-shoulders. Featuring intricate lace details and it does not look aunty-ish. As for the halter tunic, there's a thin elastic band at back.

Not forgetting the striped halter tunic, you can wear it on its own which is suitable for our crazy hot weather. Or just like my style, you may pair it with your favourite cardigan or jacket to give it a different look. Don't you think it looks just as good?
I love how versatile these tops are. Be creative and you will be able to pull off more styles! If you like it as much as I do, better hurry up as only one last piece is available!
Other items which are equally ♥ :
Tiered Denim Maxi Dress
I've seen floral maxi or even simple black & white ones. But Denim? This is definitely something different & it looks yummy!
Casual Bandage School Dress in Dark Grey, Sky Blue & Peach Pink.
So many colours to choose from! Dark Grey and Peach Pink are left with the last piece. If you are petite, you may wear it on its own. If not, pair it with leggings or treat it as a top. Best thing is, it's really affordable!
My overall shopping experience with Chicadale is really beyond satisfaction. They are efficient and prompt with reply and sending out parcel. It was smooth shopping with them.
