I liked the story in general, the depth of the characters, the goals and the link between the past, present and future.
Some points I thought could be better, with the final choice of the protagonists, although I understand, I didn't like it very much and the part of contact with society was very superficial. I also wanted to see more in the family's future, this fanservice was missing.

Supposed to be a 4/5 star review but the post won't let me edit it properly 😭

In case no one wrote this, the stories are paid content to read after chapter 40 at the moment (it looks like they slowly release free chapters) . I started this and couldn't stop at 40 because it was that good but if you don't plan to spend money just an FYI.

Overall I wish it had more steamy moments but it was really nice and interesting to see how the story came full circle... more>> around from the beginning to end and the different POV of the characters. <<less

One of the best returning back in time novels I have ever seen. The writing is absolutely fantastic, the pacing is neither too fast nor too slow, the characters all have ample time to develop and the relationship between them is just stunning. I have to give props to the translator as well, the way they translated it was just so beautiful. 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

I’m glad I started reading this when it’s already completed. I couldn’t stop until the very end.

Yes, there are parts that’s a bit draggy but I’m glad for it since it kept the story lighthearted. The story could have been depressing but it kept a hopeful tone throughout. It also emphasizes on the belief that there is beauty in many things and loving yourself is a must to love others.

Short but wonderful. The plot is solid. MC and ML is likable. I want it longer though. I like it when the duchess act as god fairy mother to beautify unconfident young girl.

The plot is good and different than what I used to read (I love isekai and return back time genre). I wailed at some chapters especially at FL backstory and blushed at ML and FL 'intimate' scene (though it's not too smutty don't worry). I love both main characters, they are romantic and sometimes they are mature, sometimes they are childish. The storyline is good too, and some may disagree but since the title is about wardrobe, so the talks about dresses and tea party, and so on.. But I... more>> agree that its too dragging and I crave more conversations between FL and ml

Spoiler

But I'm happy that author choose to make FL and ML decide to be human, rather than nymph (immortal) because it shows that being able to live forever isn't all good and happy, its also more realistic

[collapse]

However, there are some points/parts of the novel that I a bit dislike, for example, THE ENDING!!!I WANT TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN TOGETHER!!ehem, like I said.. The ending is abit too rushing. The author has focusing on so many details in the middle of the novel, but why didn't do that at the ending?plus, there are some holes in characters' details. For example, what happened to Stephen?how about Angela?I want to read her conversation with our adorable FL whom she loves so much..

I'm a generous person, but this novel get 4 stars from me because of the ending.. <<less

I just finished this one, so I'm in that delighted rush of joy from completing a wonderful story.

There were so many things done well. I love the main character. The intelligence of the ML was believable. There were many memorable side characters and it didn't fall into long plotlines with trope-like villains. I can't rate it 5 star, however, because I still feel they kept the big misunderstanding going on too long. While they did give in character reasons for continuing to drag things out, there was a point when... more>> I felt like the only reason MC and ML weren't properly talking to each other was "so the story can happen". But just as I was feeling frustrated, they finally starting moving things along, and I was very satisfied with the ending. <<less

This novel was a pleasant surprise. Not sure why people don’t like it.

The plot was interesting and had some element of suspense that made me want to read more. The female main character greatly misunderstands the male lead for the greater part of the novel which we can understand given the circumstances under which they met when she came back to life but as she gets to know him, she sees him for who he really is and the misunderstandings are cleared up. They eventually develop feelings for one another... more>> (again).

The plot seemed to be dragging but I think the pace was just right since a lot of background story was needed and the balance between the present and the background stories was well done. The ending too was satisfying but I just wished the author had written about them having kids.

All in all, it was refreshing, the translation was on point and I would totally recommend it. <<less

This novel is really good and I liked the characters. Although the story progresses kind of slow in the beginning, after the ML confesses, it begins to pick up. The ML is really smart but a little insecure because of his curse and the FL is a beauty lover. She is good at what she does and maintains good relationships with those around her.

... more>>
Spoiler

the FL fell in love with the same person both in her past and her present life which is sweet ngl

[collapse]

I wish there were more epilogues and it would've been nice if they had children. <<less

This story has fairytale elements! It feels a bit whimsical at times too. Cute.

Even though the story had flaws, I had fun reading it. It's a bit simple, but it's heartwarming. The MC really advocates for self-love too! Bless. I really like how the MC and ML developed their relationship. The duke wasn't annoying or like an overbearing CEO lmao. The duke's personality was also pretty interesting. Also, the title fits because there's a lot of stuff about dressing up. It's pretty cute though.

The plot points sometimes got a bit... more>> messy, but the characters are really fun to read about. The duke is petty in a hilarious way, and Rubica (although she does dumb stuff once in a while) is a pretty decent MC. The side characters are also pretty memorable. Some misunderstandings felt a bit overboard to me, but overall they were fun to read. <<less

Thank you Author and Translator! ❤❤ One of my top favourite reincarnation book with one of my top favourite Male Lead. Honestly, wasn't expecting all the fun just based on the title and description. As someone who enjoys fashion and beauty I didnt feel like dropping it even once unlike some people. But it's true that if you are going for some heavy war and action based story this isn't for you. But otherwise this book was great and even if I didn't like fashion, I'd read it just for MC... more>> and ML. ❤ Gosh I just love the ML!!! He comes in the list of "Guys we want but we all know don't exist". ❤ Do give this book a try if you want a break from political or bloody novels.

5/5 from me. ❤ <<less

4/5 stars

This is a very good novel.

If you like beauty, fashion and lots of sweet interaction between the characters, you will like this.

Although it's a bit draggy, and some of the misunderstandings are ridiculous, it's still good.

If you like to read more character-focused novels than plot-focused ones you might want to check this out. There really isn’t a plot outside of the two main characters, but the execution of the story is quite good.

Personally I really enjoyed the cast of characters and especially enjoyed our leads. Their relationship grows pretty naturally, even if it’s quite fast in the timeline of the story, it’s fine in the amount of chapters it takes.

4/5 Star
I love it, but as other have said. You have to be a huge masochist to read this because for real, the "actual" understanding doesnt come until chapter 150. And before that I almost dropped this story 4 times. But it had been all worth it.
