They can definitely make the website more transparent! It's a bit deceiving right now

This days you cant even find a $100 dress on their site they are all $200 +

You are buying the design

$300.00 have taxes and duties

Polyester is one of the least expensive fabrics to make but not all polyester is the same! That being said, house of CB is not using premium polyester from what I can tell 😅

@@wangjenniferr Oh that totally makes sense! They could've at least used one of the more premium options for that price. I would love to see you do more videos on other popular brands like this ☺ They are very informative and helpful!

What is the difference between a $3 a yard polyester and a premium one? Still plastic to me but I could be wrong

​@@samiesamantha1601The differences are mostly the same as why you can have $5/yard cotton vs $20/yard cotton or $20/yard silk vs $60/yard silk. With natural fabrics, short staple fibers will be cheaper than longer staple (or in the case of silk, continous filament reeled from whole cocoons is higher cost than spun silk from shorter fibers from broken cocoons). With polyester there is no "natural" staple length, but as with silk, yarns made with shorter bits of polyester spun together are be cheaper and weaker compared to continuous filament. Then there is thread count/density of fabric, fineness/evenness of yarns, is extra yarn or fabric processing done to impart certain qualities, is the fabric yarn dyed or piece dyed, etc. And then just things like quality control, is the color consistent, are they checking for holes or defects, even automatic industrial looms and knitting machines are not perfect. Although something important to note is that with clothing, the fabric and other materials are usually not the main manufacturing cost component, it's labor, even for mass-produced fast fashion in a country with cheap labor. (And then the mfg. cost is only part of the total cost and the total cost is only part of the price you buy it for) so using fabric price to compare garment price often doesn't tell you very much.

I’m not sure if they are allowed this because they aren’t based in Canada but it’s one of the most deceptive e-commerce websites I’ve seen 😔

Thanks for sharing!!

Agreed, it looks nice in photos but it felt uncomfortable 😔

​@Squirreler359 how do you even go about looking for a seamstress?

​@destituteanddecadent9106 Facebook community groups, google maps, fabric and sewing shops ❤

So disappointing :(

Glad you found it helpful! Yep retailers are using more delicate fabrics (perhaps lower quality) so it has to be dry clean or hand wash

Money comes and goes we all learn from mistakes they just lost a costumers

Looks like the company made a turn for the worse 😔

I was going to say the same thing about prices I remember dresses bieng around 150 now it's almost 300 😅

House of CB weren't around 3 years ago. 😂 They were only incorporated in April 2021.

@@BellyButton3004 what are you talking about?

​@@BellyButton3004House of CB was founded in May 2010 according to google

Yay! Thank you!

Yay! Thank you!

I’ve been liking the dresses at Ever New (known as Forever New in Australia)!

Thank you! Will do!

Unfortunately it’s not available in Canada so I haven’t seen any of their pieces irl :(

Sure! Any items in particular?

I’ll check them out!

I’m glad you think so 😍

yes please!!

I actually reviewed them on my Tiktok if you wanna take a peek @wangjenniferr but I can work on a more thorough review for KZfaq too!

Thanks for the question! It’s because a silk formal dress would cost thousands and it doesn’t make sense for something you wear for an occasion

I decided to return all of them! I’m really picky with my clothes and each item had something wrong with it

He's an unbothered king haha

Btw I say it fits nice because before I added weight it fit me quite well and I’ve seen videos of other girls who look bong in their clothes. I feel not every brand needs to cater to every single body type and that’s ok. Just find the ones that work for you. At the end of the day it’s a business so from a profit perspective it makes zero sense to try and cater to everyone. They have a specific customer they cater to. I just don’t bother shopping there. But I won’t bash them just cause of that though

I think the problem is that people are becoming desensitized to buys more and more plastic and that’s not ok. If capitalism is all is cracked up to be then businesses should fail if they don’t put out quality products but that’s not what’s happening people need to be aware or what they’re buying and that needs to be honest

Thank you so much!!
