❤ Another Brave Store Review ❤



❤ Brave Store - Another Tights Review ❤

Buy them HERE!
  • Bow Suspender Tights - $12 $10.80 (10% off CULTFAWN promo code)
  • Heart Suspender Tights - $5 $4.50 (10% off CULTFAWN promo code)
  • Winding Ribbon Tights - Gift (Not Available)
Shipping: $5
The tights were shipped within 24 hours and arrived separately within about a day of each other after a bit over 2 weeks. The shipping was slower than usual because these were bought just before Christmas, so no worries there. They were wrapped up in durable plastic envelopes/packaging that kept them safe and in tact for their whole journey. As always Brave Store has a great shipping service.

Item/Quality:
Firstly, I will talk about the two I paid for. I really love them, they are both cute and sexy and I have already had a few compliments while wearing them, which is always nice. My favourite would have to be the bow suspenders. The heart and bow suspenders feel sturdy and comfortable, no holes yet and I have worn and washed them a couple of times already. The bow suspenders are longer so really good for taller people. The heart suspenders fit me just right but I feel if I was any taller (I'm around 5'8) they might have the habit of getting pulled down. The only thing I have noticed that isn't quite right is where the dark fabric meets the nude nylon, the fabric has frayed excess fabric on the inside. The hearts and bows get a blurred edge or slightly misshapen because of this. If you look in the pictures you may notice it. I'm sure if they were carefully trimmed it might reduce this, I just have not got around to doing it yet and it doesn't really bother me that much.

The ribbon tights, in the bottom right picture, are really cute however they are quite small for me. I do have to wear shorts over them to keep them up and they got ladders as soon as I put them on (you can see it down the side of my left calf) which makes me think the fabric is probably a bit weaker too. Lovely Jane, owner of Brave Store, sent them to me as a gift which I am so grateful for though. I still think they are gorgeous, the ribbons are printed on the fabric and look like they wrap all the way around your thighs and ankles. However, if you are interested n getting yourself a pair, they would be better suited to people who are a bit shorter than me ^.^

Overall:
I love them all, I don't normally do ratings but I'd give the bow and heart suspender tights a solid 4/5 and the ribbon tights a 3/5 simply because I'm too tall for them. Brave Store will always be one of my favourite stores, Jane is always polite and friendly, she gets your orders filled quickly and they arrive nice and fast for such a reasonable shipping fee. Thank you so much for my gift too Jane I really do appreciate it!

Brave Store Sponsored Review

I’m sorry for the quality of the photos I only have my phone for a camera and so I use instagram as a shortcut to edit them. Also this was an order and review I did back in early June 2013 before I had this blog. This is a sponsored review 


Cat Tights - $10
Buy HERE..

About the Store:
Brave is a store from the Storenvy market place. Run by the wonderful Jane from Melbourne, Australia. She is a reseller of Chinese, Korean and Japanese apparel and accessories. She ships both directly from her suppliers in Hong Kong as well as from Melbourne. Brave was the first store I bought from on Storenvy, after a Storenvy horror story with another seller for the same item. Brave Store has always been a pleasure to buy from.

Shipping: 
Took about the usual two weeks, which I consider fast shipping.

These tights are so dang diddly adorable! False thigh high tights are great if you don’t feel like the hassle of socks that always fall down, wearing garters or suspenders. Brave Store has a great variety of false thigh high and suspender tights. Several of which I intend to buy. These are sturdy, the sock part is thick and doesn’t seem like it will ladder or tear easily. The nude top seems quite sturdy too but not quite as thick, obviously to give the appearance you are wearing socks not tights. These tights are very loveable and a great buy!

Brave Store Tights Order Review

 Go to Brave Store


I’m sorry for the quality of the photos I only have my phone for a camera and so I use instagram as a shortcut to edit them. Also this was an order and review I did back in early April before I had this blog. This is not a sponsored review 

Where Purchased: 

About Brave:
Brave is a store from the Storenvy market place. Run by the wonderful Jane from Melbourne, Australia. She is a reseller of Chinese, Korean and Japanese apparel and accessories. She ships both directly from her suppliers in Hong Kong as well as from Melbourne. Brave was the first store I bought from on Storenvy, with a long complicated tale I will tell another day. However I will say in advance she is always a pleasure to buy from.

Shipping: 
Was $6 for everything. Items were shipped separately as they were from different suppliers and there for arrived separately. They arrived reasonably consecutively, one after the other day after day until the last pair. They had been sent much later than the rest and may have been a little delayed but there was a nice apology note from the supplier.


These were the first to arrive. They are footless and made of a stretchy material. They are very comfortable for me, not too tight and not too loose. I usually have to wear something over the top, I am a firm believer in ‘tights/leggings are not pants’ so I wear long sweaters, shirts, skirts or dresses over them. It also helps because of the material and make they have a tendency to fall down a little as you wear them exposing le butt crack. So wearing something like bike shorts or even underwear over the top means you don’t have to keep pulling them up. For the price they are a solid buy.


2nd to arrive. These tights are very cute and have gotten me lots of compliments. They fit well but need some adjusting to get the print looking nice and not stretched. The clouds tend to sit more on my shins than my knees, not sure if thats the design or because I’m tall. I have a ladder in the crotch but that’s okay because no one will see it.


3rd to arrive. Very fun, I really like wearing these. The print sits really well. There isn’t print the whole way around the leg, just the front which I actually like. People have thought they are tattoos when I’ve worn them. Sadly I got a ladder in the first wear, but that’s nylon for you.


Last to arrive. Love them, the print is so adorable and part of me now wants to get a traditional Alice in Wonderland illustration tattooed somewhere on my bod. Again people have thought these were real tattoos.

Overall:
I love all these items, I am happy I bought them. Sadly, as most tights are, the nude tattoo tights are delicate. Thanks to planned obsolescence, two of my tights have ladders in them after a couple of wears. One in an inconspicuous place the other is much more visible. I don’t mind buying more when they get too worn so it’s not much of an issue. It’s a you get what you pay for situation, if you are going to keep buying replacements it might be an idea to hunt down cheaper options if you can find any.
