Quite oversized but lovely design overall
Bought this blazer for my daughter whose favourite character of all time is Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter. The overall design is beautiful and a nice take on the actual Mad Hatter’s jacket in the live-action movies, with the same style of embroidery on the cuffs, similar embroidery of the bird and flowers pattern that is on his jacket in both movies, and a green colour that is similar to the green jacket that the Mad Hatter has in the Alice Through the Looking Glass film.
However, the actual fit and waterfall style of the blazer is very oversized for my daughter so we will have to do some sewing/altering to make the fit more flattering. The material is also very thin which is a little disappointing given the price, but the blazer does have pockets which is a nice feature.

Amazing dungarees and Mad Hatter inspired motifs
Bought these for my daughter whose favourite character of all time is Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Bought these in a size XS - I was worried that they would be too big for her as she is quite short (152 cm) and some XS items we've ordered in the past from EMP have been too large at the waist, but these dungarees fit her perfectly.
It's a shame that the pocket watch is only decorative and not a functional one. My daughter doesn't seem to mind, although she thinks that they should have put the time on the clock face as 1 minute to tea time (3:59) as a reference to the Alice through the Looking Glass film.

Beautiful pastel goth dress but slightly pricey
Overall this a beautiful dress and my daughter loves it, however it is still slightly large on her. While this is a nice comfortable dress, £41.99 is rather pricey for a casual dress like this. Luckily I was able to use a £10 discount code on my order.

Comfortable and Practical!
I bought my daughter a pair of similar style boots from EMP’s own brand in an olive green colour 4 years ago and they are still going strong! So when I saw these boots on sale and in black, I bought them straight away! Hopefully they’ll last as long as her other pair!

Comfortable and Unique!
My daughter loves these shoes, the ribbons are particularly useful as she is in between shoe sizes so they prevent the shoes from slipping off her feet. She also loves the symbols print, it sets them apart from a normal ballet type shoe.

Great Quality Jumper
My daughter absolutely loves this oversized jumper! She says it is really comfortable, which is unusual for her since she finds most jumpers and cardigans rather itchy. The skull design is really fun and is sewn on, which is great since there are no worries about a print peeling off or getting ruined in the wash or if it's worn too many times.

Good quality & comfortable
Bought these for my daughter. Really nice pair of leggings that look like trousers due to the zipper and button. She's says they're really comfortable and the lacing can be adjusted too.
The only criticism is that the back part of the button fell off after one wash.

Good sized bag
Bought for my daughter to use for college.
The bag looks as it does in the photo and has a nice design.
It has a front zipped pocket and smaller outer pockets (without zips) underneath the front flap.
The bag is a good size for A4 folders and notebooks. However, the bag doesn't look sturdy enough to carry many books - it hasn't broken but my daughter is worried about putting more than 4 books in the bag because it looks as though it will break carrying that weight. This is a bit inconvenient as a school or college bag where she needs to carry a number of books including some heavy textbooks.
Nethertheless, it is a nice bag and it is made out of a good quality material that is water resistant to an extent, which means her books won't get soaked in the rain.

Great Vest but too big
Bought this for my daughter and it is an lovely waistcoat which can be adjusted to fit any body shape using the corset lacing at the back. It looks great and she says it feels comfortable. There is a pocket on the inside of the vest which is quite useful. The only problem with this item is the sizing: my daughter is relatively short and I bought an S but the vest just seems a bit too long on her, but it's not a such a big problem that she would dwell over. However, the top part of the vest near the shoulders was too broad for her build and so unfortunately I had to return this item because it was too big. I bought an S because XS was out of stock but if XS does come back into stock I'd buy this again.
