Dress Information

This is another one that many people have asked me to do a review on so here it is. I have owned this dress in three of the color ways. Pink, black and white. Since the first release of this dress the fabric quality and shape of the dress has improved a lot and is one of the best dresses to buy from the Bodyline company. I would highly recommend this dress and will straight away say that the measurements are quite accurate and do not go smaller or larger than stated. The fabric is very nice with chiffon touches and silk bows. The thing I love the most about this dress is the simplicity of the design, despite simple it is incredibly beautiful and flow very elegantly on the body. This dress has a lot of room for a petticoat and since the fabric is so thick you could wear any shape of petticoat and it wont show through. The image at the top shows me wearing it with a black petticoat and as you can see you can not tell. I would recommend wearing a large bell and cupcake shaped petticoat with this dress as it sits like a Victorian wedding dress aka heavy bottom but flows from the waist.

Despite that this dress is using synthetic lace it is balanced out by the chiffon and does not touch the skin meaning absolutely zero irritation and perfect comfort. The chiffon is beautiful and decorated with tiny little heart. The waist ties are sadly not removable but with a little work you can fashion them into a bow, however one tail may be shorter than the other. The waist bow is removable and is finished off with 6 pretty little pearl. I found these pearls charming but wished they had pearls elsewhere on the dress to balance it out.I spotted that this dress has a few unfinished threads on the bows but nothing a pair of scissors can not fix. The dress has no lining but is still a very charming garment.

Coordination Idea

  Jsk: Bodyline 

High Collar Blouse : Bodyline
Wrist Cuffs : Bodyline
Tiara : Custom Made

  Rosary Necklace : Offbrand 

Specter : Handmade / Shiro Hime.

 

I do not think I need to say much on this outfit as it pretty much speaks for itself. This coordinate is very simple but lovely. I wanted to keep this look as shiro as possible whilst still fitting with a hime style aesthetic. Paired with white shoes, gloves, tights and glitter this outfit is fitting for an elegant occasion without breaking the bank.

I think if I was to re-wear this I would wear it with a peignoir or chiffon over skirt to give it that extra magical feel.

 Coordinate Photograph

“Adieu, once again, my children” I hosted a meet up for my local comm with the theme of royalty. For my outfit I decided to do a different take on Marie Antoinette's white gown that she wore on her way to the Guillotine. Instead of the black ribbon she wore upon her head with the cap (she cut off her hair before she died) I decided to go for black hair almost like to keep her well known beauty alive yet kept my skin pale to represent her death. I also incorporated a lot of her religious beliefs and symbolism's into the outfit, jewelry and tiara. This was my first proper attempt at a full white coordinate and it's not too bad ( I am quite happy with this outfit for once ) and there is not really anything I'd change other than my glasses. FYI I can not change my glasses as I am blind without them but I do plan to get some white glasses soon to make coordinating a little easier. Least they match my "rococo style" make up haha~

 

Hope this review will help answer all questions.

Pleasant dreams~

Day7

† 10 people who inspire your lolita style†

This question is a bit hard for me. There are not people who inspire my style, maybe 3 at best. My style is my own however I do know a bunch of inspirational people~

 I. Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn (Audrey Kathleen Ruston) was a British actress and humanitarian. Born in Brussels, Hepburn spent her childhood between Belgium, England and the Netherlands, including German-occupied Arnhem during the Second World War. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in December 1992.

Who could want for a greater idol?

II. Marie Antoinette 
Marie was a young Austian noble, and upon her marriage to  Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, she became Dauphine of France. She was a person of beauty and unjustly killed at the start of the french revolution and is well known as a fashion icon.Though opinion differ greatly of who and what she truly was, she was a beautiful woman and is well known throughout the world.

 

III. Adora Batbrat
 Not only is she an amazing mother, she is a stunning goth icon and model! Her outfits are so out of this world it's amazing!

IV. Demona Mortiss
Not only is she a talented artist but she is a beauty model. Demona takes white and turns into into something twisted. I adore her so much and her style is an inspiration for one of my outfits, named after her.
 

V. Kerli
A talent singer, designer and artist. Her song army of love made me so happy, who could want more than Peace, Love Unity and Respect~

VI. 大魔神/Big Devil
Red Devil is a model/artist from Taiwan. She is cool, smart, artist and courageous!She is truly beautiful and gave me a lot of advise about being myself with fashion. She encouraged me to meet the darkest depths of my soul and bring that dark out as a positive!

VII. Lady Gaga
There is not much to say on her that everyone doesn't already know but to me she is bold, crazy, stunning, fabulous and talented all at the same time!

VIII. Maria Brink, In This Moment
Everything about her is stunning. She looks amazing, she sounds awesome and the lyrics to her songs truly speak to me. Not only is the band, In This Moment one of my favorite bands it also inspires a lot of my more gothy fashion choices.

IX. Rinrin Doll
A model for many brands like Angelic Pretty and Baby The Stars Shine Bright, Rinrin is just pure beauty! It is almost as if lolita fashion was made for her.

X. My friend's Kiki, Elizabeth, Misty and Kiri.
 These four friends of mine are not only lovely people but have shown me much kindness. These lovely people helped show me that it was okay to be myself and that the cards I had been dealt with were not the only hand I had to play.

Kiki and Kiri aided me so much when I first moved back home and helped me through a really bad situation with a set of ex friend's. With the help of the police, I have had little, next to none harassment and I never would have taken such a step if these two girls hadn't of pushed me to do so. They are great friends and deserve a lot of credit. Whilst Kiki is calm and thought provoking Kiri is rough and pursuing of her goals.

Elizabeth has always been a lovely girl and in the past we used to spend much time together in the lolita community but as times changed we lost touch with each other. It wasn't until I moved back home that the two of us met back up and started where we left off. Elizabeth has always been a nice, down to earth person and tells you how it is. She truly is a sweet, kind and understanding person.

Misty is like no other person I have met. She is bold, daring, strong and overflowing with acceptance and love. I met her in collage some times ago and we lost touch when I moved away but just like Elizabeth, when I returned home she welcomed me back with open arms! I even met my boyfriend Tony again at her wedding. She is a lovely, beautiful and talent friend <3

On to Question 8,
