The Order:
So on November 28th I ordered
this blouse in size L and
this dress size M from My-Lolita-Dress.com with the 4-5 day shipping. On the website itself my order never updated and even now still says "Processing" next to it, which is weird. However, I got text message updates from DHL when my order shipped and when it was going to be delivered. The OP was ready to ship from the get-go but the blouse had an expected tailoring and processing time of 15-25 days. I received the package on the 18th of December, a bit less than 3 weeks from when I bought it. The blouse ended up being too big (more on that later), so I ordered the same blouse again in size M on the 18th of December with the 4-5 day shipping. I got the second blouse in the mail just this morning, the 23rd of December! Only 5 days later!
(I have the Large sized blouse for sale up on lacemarket if anyone is interested.)Other than the website never updating the order status, my order went flawlessly and the items all arrived in good condition. I also just really like how easy to use my-lolita-dress is. I know some people don't like how the prices are marked up, but I think it's worth it for an English website with a cart checkout system.
The Blouse:
Initially I ordered the large sized blouse because the bust measurements for the medium were 88cm and the large was 92cm. My bust size is 87cm so I was scared that the medium would be too small. Especially since the blouse doesn't button all the way down anywhere. The website reccomends 4cm of give for a good fit, so I settled on the large. The large was just a tad too big for me, but the medium fit just fine!
I'm very happy with this blouse! The lace on the front is quite thick and sturdy feeling and I love the little cameo it came with. The only thing I would criticize is that people with large heads may have trouble pulling on this blouse. As you can see on the back of the blouse it has two buttons at the neck to undo so your head will fit. Anyone with a fairly average sized head shouldn't have too much trouble though.
I will say that the large size blouse's cameo had a really dull pin that made it difficult to actually pierce the fabric. It was doable, but required a little force and left some small pinholes.
I'm overall very pleased and I threw together a little casual outfit with it:
The Dress:
Now, that blouse was beautiful, but this here is the main event for sure. This dress was exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted. It has removable waist ties that can be tied either at the front or at the back, a large and a small bow pin and I also ordered the matching wristcuffs. One thing that I didn't realize it had until I tried it on was POCKETS! I'm so excited about these pockets you guys.
I love the clock hands embroidered on the waist ties!
It even came with an extra button sewn on the inside seam!
And here's a little coord I threw together:
I'm very happy with both orders as well as the service from my-lolita-dress. I'm very excited to wear my new dress on Christmas!
