If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in several posts. Here are some resources to start your very own Secret Honey collection.

• How to buy Secret Honey: A brief overview on several ways to get your hands on Secret Honey casual pieces and costumes. Including recommendations for resellers etc.
• How to buy Secret Honey with Buyee: Detailed post with many screenshots showing how to use the service Buyee to buy Secret Honey (or other stuff, of course) from Japanese websites such as mercari.jp
• Of Remakes and Fakes: There are remakes of Secret Honey (costumes in particular) that are being sold. In this post I share some thoughts about the topic as well as a photo comparison of an original Secret Honey dress and a remake (spoiler: they are different).

I also sometimes sell dresses from my collection, check out my shop or my Instagram, I usually list them there.

The Frozen Fever Anna Maxidress

First things first. I really am not that happy with the dress on me and probably never will be. This dress does not look good on me, the sleeves are too short, the bodice sits too high and is not long enough and the skirt is a funny length on me. But enough of the negativity, let us look at the dress. Here I am wearing it out in a park nearby:

Here is the dress from the side. I hate how it looks. The bodice isn’t long enough, so it sits on my chest and away from my body which makes me look bigger than I actually am.

This dress was released in May 2017 and originally cost you 16000 yen plus taxes. Here is the dress from the back.

The Bodice

The bodice is fully elasticated and it fits up to over 105 cm in the bust (I have been wearing it at that size). It is comfy to wear because it is elasticated. On the front, there is floral embroidery like on Anna’s dress:

We have a double layered brown ruffle decorating the neckline. It represents the brown binding on Anna’s bodice:

Of course, the bodice is also bound around the waist, so the waistline of this dress is also decorated with a brown ruffle.

The Sleeves

The sleeves are elasticated and made from a light green mesh fabric that is embroidered. The embroidered motive is the same in the front and back. The colour and embroidery of the sleeves are inspired by Anna’s bolero.

Beneath the mesh, you have brown straps that are adjustable in length and also detachable. When I photographed this dress, I was not wearing the straps because you can see them quite well beneath the transparent sleeves. I understand the colour choice because the ruffle is brown as well, but it simply does not look good beneath the light green mesh. Thank god you can detach them.

The Skirt

The skirt does not have an overall print like Elsa’s dress does. There’s a print at the top of the skirt and then a border print, the rest of the skirt is plain however.

The Layers

This dress is fully lined like almost all of Secret Honey’s dresses. Here you can see the skirt lining:

The Print

At the top of the skirt there is a leaf print on both sides of the skirt like on Anna’s dress:

Around the hem we of course have a sunflower print like on Anna’s real skirt. Since the fabric is slightly sheer and the lining underneath is blue, the sunflowers do look a little bit green to me.

Between the sunflowers we have plants with a tulip in between. Also, the skirt is finished with satin binding that encloses the raw edges:

My favourite detail of Anna’s Frozen Fever dress is thankfully not missing on this version. We do have the two kissing bees on the left side of the skirt:

A Comparison with Elsa

At first I thought it is the colours or something like that that made me like Elsa much more than Anna. Elsa has a longer skirt obviously, but I felt like Anna did not fit the upper part of my body right. So I compared the length of the straps, bodice and skirt with Elsa: Anna is shorter everywhere. Here are the sleeves in comparison:

and here you can see that Elsa’s bodice is also slightly longer than Anna’s:

The skirt is very obvious:

So, I did not imagine it, the bodice and sleeves are shorter and thus make the Frozen Fever Anna Maxidress sit funny on me.

And that is already it for this birthday post for Anna 🙂 I hope you enjoyed having a look at this beautiful Frozen Fever Anna Maxidress together with me. Thanks a lot for reading, I hope to see you in my next post.

Love,
Ella
