.:Bodyline:.
Isn't she just amazing?
I even couldn't decided whether or not to get it
in purple or mint colourway.(*Spoiler Alert: I chose Mint*) It just looks so damn cute! So unfortunately,
I decided to order it with the funds I put away searching for my first dress.
Why did I say unfortunately? Well… Let's start with the bad by saying I didn't
know which dress to review first. My boyfriend suggested starting with my least
favourite. Poor Cinderella Bunny!
This dress is really short. Really
short. Now I'm unsure if it's because of my bust size or what? It gets very annoying when dealing with it when I wear it out with
my petticoat wanting to peek out and see the world. With that said, DO NOT bend
over in this dress. (You really shouldn't bend over in any dress improperly,
anyway.) I mean unless you want to show your bloomers to the world. (Really
thinking I need pink bloomers just to wear with this dress…)
I've
noticed other girls having this problem around tumblr, too. Be weary, this
dress may need an underskirt. I'm also really short, too. 5'4" 1/2-- that
1/2 counts! I ended up pulling my petti all the way up right under my bust and
then rolling it a couple of times. And even after that, it likes to peek
through. I get so paranoid about it, that every time I get out of the car is the usual "Is my petti showing??"
The zipper had some problems staying up, so I
had to sew in some eye hooks. It helped for a bit, but I still get so paranoid
about it unzipping. I am constantly checking the damned thing, especially after a little bit of movement.
Excuse my poor sewing skills--of which I have none.
The lace is kind of mediocre, but still kinda
nice. I guess? Compared to my other dress (which is Indie brand), the lace on
this one is just eh. Also, loose threads. Everywhere. I still have
nightmares about them. (Although, no pics of them since I think I got all of them...)
Dat lace...
I did
order this dress in the largest they had (due to bust problems) and I have a
bit of room to play with. Still, a minimizer bra and shapewear will be the next
two things I get for my dresses. I also feel this dress is really unflattering
for my larger bust size.
And
finally, no matching head bow. Like, what the hell Bodyline! I understand you
could wear the waist bow as one, but it looks so unflattering using it other
than its intended purpose.
Speaking of... Let's start the good by saying that my bow came with all the pearls:
Or at least I think I got all the pearls?
I also adore
this print, and the colours. Being an artist, colours mean everything. I pair this mint with a pink blouse, and
hopefully sometime, pink tights. (the ones I ordered are too light to match the
blouse ;_; ) So right now, I just wear it with my white lace tights I
originally got for this dress.
Look how cute!
Being the only Lolita in my Village--hehehe (that's a joke)--I
actually get a lot of compliments on this dress. First time out with it, I got
stopped twice for photos and once because a lady had to say how gorgeous it
was. I did get the "Are you in a Play?" question, though. Another
time I wore it out to dinner, and a woman actually tapped on our car window and
asked for a photo. Apparently, her daughter wore the same stuff, and she wanted
to show her. With some extensive research, I found out she didn't wear Lolita
but was into cosplay. Hence the reason I couldn't find her in my comm. I got
too excited, it seems, that there'd be someone else to run around my hometown
in Lolita with… Nah, I'm too excited about my tea party with my comma next
weekend.
But I won't be wearing this dress to that
meet-up…
I wore this dress out for dinner tonight and was told how cute it was. Again, I was asked about being in a play, but after telling her that it was just a fashion she nodded her head and said "That's really good. Good for you!" And yes, I still have it on... I seriously could wear Lolita every day and wear it through the night.
So far this is my coord with it:
Coord Breakdown:
JSK: Bodyline
Blouse: Rose Maiden
Tights, Bow, Beret: Off Brand
Purse: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: An*Tai*Na
Crystal: Rose Quartz
I don't have everything for this coord just yet. I'm still awaiting my rose quartz accessories--other than my bracelets at least. I received my pink shoes today and plan on wearing them when I wear the white tights with this dress.
Overall I give this dress 2.5/5 Stars
