- Trying on 5 items (6 if you count the belt) from shopcider.com and giving my two cents on the fit, quality and the execution of the designs. I bought these items with my own money during the black Friday/cyber Monday sale so I could get the most out of this review/haul. Let me know what you think if the items and which you would buy (if any).

I so appreciate you mentioning the seams that might bother people with sensory issues!!! 👏🏻 that’s such helpful info
Yess I had to mention. I have a few friends that have to wear their socks inside out because of that pesky seam on the toes. I could see one of them absolutely hating the seem on the knee. 😅
@@DressMeUpScotty As a very neurodivergent individual, I think I kind of gasped when you mentioned the possibility of sensory issues. I've never heard anyone mention this in any clothing review before! Thank you so much for thinking of us! 💞
Thank you for reviewing Cider! I’m pretty sure I’m the one who asked you to review them, and now I’m convinced that I probably won’t buy from them unless I absolutely can’t get something out of my mind. I will fight that influence. You looked great in everything, but I definitely don’t want to waste money on a maybe! Can’t wait for the next crafty video, and I hope your channel does pop off, because you deserve it!
Holy run-on sentence! Sorry about that! 😂
Yeah it’s so hit or miss, so unless you’re in love with something and it has great reviews, it’s a pass imo. And thank you! I’m hopefully gonna be pushing out a lot of videos this month to try and boost my reach! 🥰
Right they look so so cute on the Cider ads I gotta have it but seeing what it actually looks like and with such little attention to fit, seams and fabric ehh
@@FairyRosee_ yeah that’s how they get you. Their marketing is pretty good, which they definitely need 😂 which is why I prefer places that have good word of mouth rather than pouring tons of money into paid ads. When they do that I’m like 👀 SUS
Yep, it’s so frustrating because they have such specific cute styles but then they don’t look like that irl at all. It really is super hit or miss, but even the hits are not that amazing. I just wish there were more brands that make styles like that but more sustainable and ethical.
I love a lot of cider aesthetically, but I’ve never ordered and I’m scared to because sizing can be difficult for me. Thanks for the insight!!
I’ve been so tempted to buy something from them for a while! Really helpful to see someone do an honest review for once ❤
Yeah their marketing is so effective. Everyone I know with similar taste get ads for them constantly. It’s nice to be able to present a realistic review for people that also get blasted with their marketing. They sponsor a lot of creators in my circle as well so it’s hard to get an unbiased point of view. And that is that it’s just… OK/Mid/Meh😂
The cider ads are always tempting me on my feed because the clothes look so cute! It’s nice seeing your input on them! I love the red velvet dress styled with that belt! The whimsy goth vibes are immaculate 👌
Yeah it’s so tempting especially when the ads are constant. Eventually people give in after they ware you down lol. Happened to me 🤚
Bingeing some of your older videos! Love this review. Thank you for your honesty!
I've never bought cider because I intentionally try not to support fast fashion and I was afraid of how the garments would actually look in real life. So thank you for the review, it helps a lot to decide what to support and what not to support! 🌿
I have used the clothes as inspiration for a tailor to recreate them for me
1000% agree with your opinions on cider. Have bought a couple of things from there and had the same experience. One thing I love and get compliments on all the time, another is just meh, and the third I never wear ever because it is just way too uncomfortable
Yeah their marketing is really good and have grown a lot. But their quality is so inconsistent. I have a couple items I love but then I have some regrets I didn’t even mention. Their sizing is also inconsistent.
I'd love a video of you altering all of these items. Like a fast fashion flip.
I like the lapel idea for the David Tennant look. The “mustard” dress (top) I think it would look best with the skirt part removed. And I think you would be able to fix that red number pretty easily. Looks like the way you accidentally first tried it on all you’d have to do is tack those triangular pieces that were flaring out at your shoulder blades under. I think that might work and much better than strangling to death! Ha. Thanks for reviewing this company too since I must be the only person who hasn’t heard of them!
I love the self-awareness at the start!
I just need to say thank you so much for giving your measurements while giving sizes you’re trying on! I see so many videos where knowing their measurements would’ve been so helpful. So thanks (:
I’ve seen videos and reviews like that as well and it is so frustrating! I always try to include as much relevant info as possible so I’m so glad this video helped!
Thx for this review! That one thing I got from cider is probably the last one I’ll get.
Thanks for showing us these, I've been targeted on fb for Cider whimsigoth dresses and i decided to buy the goth Stevie Nicks velvet dress because i fell in love. And i ordered that moon belt you tried on, I'm very excited for it to arrive
I love your videos and I’m so glad I discovered your channel! You seem to take to speaking on camera so naturally. It’s been great watching your channel grow knowing how important it is to you 😍
Thank you! 🥰♥️
This vid is *extremely* helpful since we have nearly identical measurements. Also, just found Cider for the first time in Nov and caught their $11 sale (picked up only 2 tops out of caution haha). Your opinions about quality are spot on 😆 Just so you know, you are a 💎. Glad to have found your channel ❤️ Subbed!
Yay glad I can be helpful ♥️
I just recently found you and have been binging your videos since. Love you, love your content, love your style, love it all. You make me feel warm and safe and inspired ❤
🥰🥰
You got a new subscriber from this video, can't wait to see the rest of your content! 😊
Ty u just saved me money and time because I'm 5'11 and if their dresses are too short on you than ain't no way in heck they will fit me properly
I get all the Cider ads, and this review confirmed my suspicions. Great job ♥️
After I posted this video the first ad I got in Ig was Cider LOL
So listennnnn, I've placed my first order from Cider earlier this week. It wasn't too expensive but I hope I like what comes in the mail 😅. I'm a 38F. So I'm worried the dress and tops won't fit. We shall see!
But, I wanted to pop in and say your content is right up my alley. I'm 29, and I think I'm finally discovering what I like to wear. I've watched your 2 Lacemade videos and I plan to look at more of your videos for more reliable places to get cute clothes. 🌷🍃🌻💐
That cat dress is everything 😻
Also I love the star pants and dress!
The cat dress and the star pants are definitely my favs! 🥰
I can’t love this video enough, thank you!
Yay! Glad to help! 🥰
I hope with all my heart that you smash it big time next year. You absolutely deserve it 😊❤️❤️
Aw Tysm 🥰♥️
Thank you for the review. I'm so so picky about fit and I have sensory issues with many cheap fabrics. You just saved me boatloads of $$
Glad to help! 🥰
Thanks for this in depth review, I get bombarded with their adds pretty much daily and thought them a bit sus in the shein kinda vibes. This has enlightened a lot. 😁
The Shein vibes are so there! They have similar style clothes. I think Cider is slightly better quality than Shein (which is straight up 🗑️) but still not that worth it. When I first discovered Cider I was so suspicious that it wasn’t just Shein rebranded since they own other aesthetic brands like Romwe, Zaful and Chicwish. It wouldn’t have shocked me at all of Cider was owned by the same parent company as well. I haven’t dug too deep though so there may be some connection. I know Simple Retro has Shein ties which is why I’ve turned down sponsorships by them. If I review I brand I want to have the freedom to be brutally honest and unfortunately most collabs involve contracts with clauses stating you have to be positive in your representations, which is why these reviews are almost never sponsored.
@@DressMeUpScotty brutally honest is what we appreciate in a review - it's the only way to be actually helpful.
Really hope you’re channel becomes a full time job for you ❤ sending love your way ❤❤
Ty! 🥰♥️
Yes, I was pretty Laodicean in my feelings toward a recent Cider haul. The starry pants do look good, though!
I'm already looking forward to the DW 60th!
Yeah my haul was definitely a mixed bag lol. The pants were great though I agree.
Goth clothing prices have officially broke my brain because I was gushing to hubby about how amazingly low the prices on cider are 😂😢 they have some really cute goth stylable stuff. We have the exact same measurements except I’m 5’3 and my bust is a tad bit bigger so this is PERFECT for me before I make my first order lol
I buy most of my gothy dresses from them! They're seriously cute, and mostly made well. Word of warning however, everything I've bought from them has been polyester, and very hot.
Been here since the start of your CZcams love your videos and your humour.
🥰♥️ thank you!
Cat dress is so cute!
🥰🐈♥️
looking forward to see, what will happen with the tennant dress. I am not sure, to fold it over looks nice. Is there a chance to ruffle something over, to make it look like a bigger cover? An the yellow tunika, looks on my screen exact same colour than what you wear. :-)
I like how you say pre-face! Lol
👁️👄👁️… 😂😅
just as you suspected…i love that red dress on you! haha, i hope you can finagle the neckline how you want! i ordered this cute orange kind of 70s style dress from cider that i absolutely love, just placed another order with some store credit and coupons for a faux corset and the cutest little off the shoulder cottagecore maxi and i am crossin my fingers that they work for me too!
I hope you love everything!!
The big test is washing the clothes. What happens after? Oh you influenced me into making a Hobbit wreath, Dang it came out pretty good!
That’s the real question! I’ll have to wash them and report back.
@@DressMeUpScotty how did it go??
i always get the ads on instagram and are OBSESSED, CIDER KINDA SAID WERRRKKK
🥰🥰
That red dress you could cut off the top and add elastic so its off the shoulder and it would give the same vibes!
Definitely gonna have to give it a try 😁
thanks for this, as I guessed they are low quality for that price!!
Totally off topic but i love your room and that yellow chair😊 Also i feel like ive seen that first dress pattern on a pillowcase somewhere lol
I love almost everything I've gotten from Cider, although, I do wish they'd make things in cotton or other natural fibres that breathe.
Some pieces are better then others and make sure look at the product description..It will save you money..The knit/Wool fabrics are the best esp the cardigans they have on their site..
Lmbfao you be so hilarious and witty and crazy boo. First when chu open your video with "welcome to my channel where I make horrible financial decisions and I take you a long" I said to my self oh this sounds like it's a channel for me. N when u said the quality of cider is between shein and forevah 21 and the bar for shein was on the floor 😂😂 lol I literally hit the floor started rolling and hollering 😭😂 be my friend please we would hilarious and crazy togethah
random but i really love the shirt you have on at the end with the little embroidery details, where'd you get it?
I think the brown/orange/mustard (lol) tunic would look a lot nicer shortened and worn as a top!
The seams thing is VERY USEFUL INFO! There's no way you'd see that in the pics on the website, and I have kinda chonky legs. Can foresee buying and wearing exactly once, then cutting the seam intending to make them more comfy and falling entirely!
I don't know if anyone else has said, but if you do return for store credit, you don't have to send the items back. I just recently did this because the items didn't fit as I had hoped.
I had no idea that was a policy!
Omg where did you get the celestial belt?! I loooove it!!! With the chains! 🥰
It’s also from Cider! They have a few different chain belts as well. I think there’s a sun version!
Thank you for this review! Their ads are so tempting but I've had serious concerns about their ethics and quality. Maybe with the pinstripe dress-- chop off the top and turn it into a skirt?
I'm also so surprised you haven't popped off yet! You're a great content creator and you absolutely deserve to be successful. So here's to 2023!
Yeah and one thing I failed to mention is they often copy designs. There are a few designs that I’ve noticed are copies of Lacemade which is another brand I’ve reviewed and I know for a fact is better quality than Cider. If I had more money I’d buy the originals from Lacemade and compare them to the dupes on Cider. I know brands like Shein do the same although their quality is at the bottom. Maybe doing a 3 way comparison would be interesting but idk if I wanna give Cider or Shein any of my money lol.
And thank you! ♥️ I’m hoping to push out as many videos as possible the next few months to get some traction going.
Heyy. First of all you are really pretty and this is one of my favourite cider reviews!
Most of the pieces look nice in the photo but looks semi cheap in the real life.
Would you recommend any other online brands of this style>
I am not sure which store to suggest because I actually thrift 90% of my clothes. A lot of fast fashion brands that have this style aren’t that good quality. Some of my favorite brands to thirty though are: Zara, ModCloth, Talbots, Nanette Lepore, Old Navy, Various Target brands (Who What Wear, Universal Thread, Wild Fable) Urban Outfitters, J Crew, Eddie Bauer. I might make a video with all my fav brands to thrift actually 🥰 I utilize a lot of online secondhand shopping via Mercari, Poshmark, ThredUP and Depop. Sometimes Ebay too.
My main issue with Cider is they just cannot decide if plus size people have very large chests or not, some things will be impossibly tight but then othjer things (like the dress you used for the autumn fairy shoot) will have way too much room, I know fitting for plus sizes in harder in RTW pieces but if it was consistant it would make shopping a lot easier.
Don’t order polyester fabrics from cider, order knit/wool sweaters/cardigans from cider..They have beautiful cardigans..
Ciders’ return policy, when I did it, was to keep the item you don’t want and you are given store credit.
Maybe for the “mustardy “ piece, could be made into a hi low blouse?
I like that idea!
I really like your orange Jacket
Thanks! It’s a corduroy button down I thrifted a few months ago. It’s like the perfect shade of orange ☺️
It's not mustard... its not orange... it's pumpkin. I love it.
The tiny dress could be a sexy Doctor Who costume? Haha
Guess I'm one of those rare people being on the internet and never heard of that brand. But I also have to say I didn't hear of Shein like two years ago or so? Somehow they missed me as a target but I'm totally not mad 😁There's mostly just one online shop I buy from nowadays (I'm in Germany btw) and it's almost only Alchemy Gothic jewellery because it's cheaper there than anywhere else. The rest of my clothes I get either second hand or I sew them myself.
It could be because of where you’re located as well why you don’t get bombarded with the ads. Idk if Germany has different regulations regarding selling browsing data with advertisers or not but that could be why. In the US it’s so bad. I swear I’ll text my friends about something and then get a targeted Ad about the thing right after. They say they don’t mine data from personal communication but I call BS 😂 - & I love that you’re primarily second band and diy as well. It’s the way to go. I find that any time I buy brand new lately I’m very much disappointed.
Sorry but in what world is a size 4 “midsized”
Cooolllllll
☺️😁
I'm here to feed the algorithm. ♥️
Much appreciated 🙏
Wow is fashion just generally cheaper in other parts of the country?? I couldn’t believe how cheap Cider is compared to most clothing stores around Seattle.
I’m sure in bigger cities it’s more expensive, depending on where you go. Online retailers in the fast fashion side of things (forever 21, H&M, Shein, & Cider) tend to be cheaper since they’re mass produced overseas. I’m sure if you have locally owned businesses selling clothing for more money they’re probably better quality and the money goes more directly into the wages of the employees. Unless we’re talking the local department stores/brick and mortar locations of, say, Forever 21 or Zara. Then that could just be more pricey due to inflation. I haven’t been in one of those stores irl in forever especially in a big city so I couldn’t say for sure.
I live in Sweden and never heard of Cider or the other company you list so I can not speak of them. Forever21 was in the EU and had very good quality stuff, but it was a totally different part of the company than the USA side and in 2018 ceased in the EU. Anyway the red dress is cute, I would just say it is not good for your body type but we all go threw that. The mustard dress looks like the same as your photo to me! He hee. That said it does suck it is so short! I am 5 ft 9 inches and ware a US size 6 so it would be super short on me and I would be really let down! The Dr Who dress just did not work, once again I think that is for a certain body type also. The black bell bottoms were super cute on you!
ASOS is big here in EU and they pretty good as they many times have a video of the item worn by a real person. That said they are hit or miss at times also.
If you take the straps off of the Dr. Who dress and turn it into a skirt, with the wonky bust tucked in or taken off completely, it will be a bit longer, and you will be able to use it.
The rest of the stuff is OK. That kitty dress needs taking in at the waist. Or a belt. Or something. I love the pattern and overall look, though.
The red dress is dreamy, but it would have been better as a floor length dress.
The yellow/orange/brown dress/tunic 'thing' has so much potential!!! Maybe just shorten it a bit, to help it with its identity crisis.
Some good ideas for sure! ♥️
i put boxers on under sort dresses that way i feel more covered
I've seen loads of Cider ads myself and some of the things look SO cute. But as a plus size person I've been very doubtful anything would fit me, and now I'm even more dubious. You really shouldn't be spilling out of a medium when you're a size FOUR. 🤦♂️ That just makes me furious on your behalf! The cat dress is really, really cute though. 🥺
Yeah their sizing is WAY off. I’m sure the plus size items they offer run small as well. Don’t know for sure but since the straight size run small I’m willing to bet their plus size options do as well 😭
@@DressMeUpScotty I'm positive they do. I'm not even going to attempt trying anything. I've heard that their size 3X is, in reality, barely an XL.
Nothing at cider that is worth my money... I have 3 thrift stores near my apartment if I want cheap goods.
Yeah it’s… not the best haha. I won’t be going out of my way to shop there again 😂
@@DressMeUpScotty thank you for saving me the trouble of dealing with their stuff.

You are damn pretty 😊
"omg she's going to give us her sizes !" proceed to give it in inches and i dont know what the f it means
🤎🧡🐈🧡🤎
🥰♥️
I’ve gotten a lot of good things from shein that are still good today. SHEIN is great. Super cheap. The clothes LAST. You have to read reviews. It does not all come from the same place. I’ve gotten shoes that are still kicking today. Pants. Shirts. Dresses. Hair accessories. People want to hate on shein so badly. Here’s some tea sis, high end brand make their clothes the same way. Yeah the prices tag doesn’t mean shit.
The red dress fit is not fine - it is TERRIBLE . run girl run you are worth more than that
