Show Room Boutique

This review is about Show Room boutique. A boutique my friend recommended but I never bought from them as they are not really my kinda style.

 They not only have a blog, they also have a facebook page. For me, I will prefer the facebook page because I can have a bird’s eye view of the clothes through the album view.

The clothes they sell include dresses, tops and bottoms (pants and skirts). The style of their photography is simple. Very soothing for the eye to look at.

The model looks kinda pissed off in this picture! HAHAHA

Here are some basic information about them:

Started in : 2009

Location : Kuala Lumpur

Contact : via email

Delivery : registered post or poslaju (no indication if there is any free delivery)

Click on the picture for their profile details

Their style is more towards young girls, very funky and girlish. Price wise, it is slightly higher than the normal blog shops. Tops can go as high as RM60 and dresses can be for RM79, round it up RM80. Then to add on postage, it will be quite costly for online shoppers, not to mention that they do not have free delivery.

Fresh looking top for the young ones

They also provide Cash on Delivery. No mention on whether there will be additional charge or how it will be like. You will need to mention to them in the email if you are to prefer cash on delivery.

All their Terms and Conditions on their FB Page. Not every reader friendly. Just like reading the back of a bank form with all the words jammed together.

Quite the irony actually. From their style of clothes, it seems to be targeted for a younger crowd, but the price is higher than those bloghsops that sell clothes for the working class. Maybe they only target richer young girls? Hahahaa I don’t know!

The pictures, I like that they style up their clothes with belts and clutches. Those accessories are also available for purchase. Pictures with the model posing and all, you will see the link to the accessories for that dress/top. Click on it and it will direct you to the picture of the belt/bag and you can see for yourself the price there.

Model posing, you can see that the caption does not provide the price of the dress

Picture with the hanger, price is stated at the caption

For the price of the dress, find the picture with the clothes displayed on a hanger(see pic above).

The only inconsistency is, some clothes, they only provide pictures of it on a mannequin. I wonder and wonder and it may be because the model is not free for photoshoot, it may be that the quality is not that good and it will reflect on that when a model wears it? It can also be that the size is too small. Anything is possible. Anyone of you that knows the answer is welcome to leave a comment!

Maybe the model is not tall enough to wear this? heehehehehe

One thing refreshing – They have outdoor shooting! Not much, just a few but its quite refreshing to see some outdoor shoots. Looks more professional and stylish.

Well, for those going after a girlish fresh young look with good cash to spend, no harm buying from them! 

Curves Boutique

Curves Boutique markets its garments via Facebook page. They sell mostly dresses and most of the designs are actually designers inspired piece.


Here is the link to their FB page if you are interested --> Curves Boutique


Here are also some info about them that you will want to know:-


Location: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Postage : RM9 (uses poslaju), 5 pieces and above - free
Contact : Email or SMS
Updates : New designs every week


The average selling price is from RM69. However, they have 2 prices, online price and normal price. 

See? Online specials and Normal Price. 


Consumers, think now. 


What do they mean by normal price? Do they own a boutique shop somewhere? If yes, why is it that me, as a walk in customer needs to pay more? I pay for my petrol to get there, I pay for parking, I spend time to get there, I walk in (energy consuming assuming I am wearing heels) and eco-friendly wise, I do not request for a bag. 


Now online shoppers get cheaper rate. For online transaction, purchase of less than 5 pieces, I still bear my own delivery charges. If the dress I buy is RM69 + RM9 (delivery) = RM78. That is still considered expensive. 


First Rule : Never buy a dress (including postage) that costs you more than RM75. They are not designer clothes, they are copycats of designer clothes. You chip in another RM50, that will be RM128 and you can get a decent Topshop or Zara dress. Even so, I am sure your normal boutique walk in shops will cost you probably the same and you can try it on and feel the fabric.


Do not be fooled by thinking you get a good deal by buying online. It is not! The normal price stated is to make you think you are getting a good deal. Cheaper to buy online man! Sorry girl, you've just help them fatten their account.


Second Rule : Postage should be free for purchase of 3 pieces and above. Seriously, 5 pieces is a bit too much. If you want to save on postage and bought 5 pieces, wrong math girl, wrong math. DO NOT FALL FOR IT! By the time you pay for that 5 dresses, it will be a total of RM345 (assuming all dresses are RM69 each)! Well unless you are sure that the quality is good, it is better not to risk and buy 5 pieces just for free postage. Other online shops have better deals, trust me.


Here is one of the dresses Curves boutique is selling,

Curves Boutique - RM70

and here is the same exact piece from another blogshop called Attire Attic (review on them is coming up soon!)

Attire Attic - RM59

 See the difference? RM59 and RM70. Hmmmm...you do the math.

Curves Boutique - RM70

Doublewoot - RM72

IIvory Couture - RM70

Same piece of dress, both selling at RM70 and one selling at RM72. Do note however that the postage services they offer will affect the quality of your purchase. For eg, if Doublewoot (RM72) is giving free postage while the other two are not, then of course, the cheapest deal will be to buy it from Doublewoot. RM2 for poslaju! Hella of deal!


In general, Curves Boutique do have nice dresses but not special as I have seen other shops selling it at a cheaper price. Well,  I hope you enjoy reading this and let me know if you bought from them before! I will like to hear your feedback!


I will review the other online shops soon. As you can see above, Attire Attic, Doublewoot and IIvory Couture. Don't miss it!
