frilly dresses,,,,,

Looking to trade this meta skirt for a pink/sax floral one 👉🏻👈🏻

An ideal print, all colors combine well, and... I love crowns, I hope you could feel it. This is the type of dress an empress could wear, so classy and rich.

The scallop waist is such a cute detail!

Curly tag Meta! TBH Most of Metas old stuff feels super handmade, and theres sooo much of it too that I don't think they made many pieces of each and opted instead for a ton of designs.

I always wanted to do one of those replica vs. original photos with the 2 items so I set out to find the OG. I missed it, twice, for like $30 on Mercari back in 2015 and didnt see it for another 10 years. Did my daily search and there she was..just sitting there.. missing the waist ties and for 10x the price mind you. But I wasnt missing it again! I never did the comparison pics, maybe I will later.. but as far as Milanoo goes I actually got pretty lucky and its actually very similar.

This is one of my fave AP prints! Its also my go to christmas print without actually being festive. The animals in the prints are so cute and there are tons of tiny details.

I answered this one in another ask, but there are more motif I'd like to see more of. I love angel wings and would love to see more of them not only on main pieces but also on accessories. I hope the angel wing rings and bags will have a come back some day.

I wore it to a high tea shortly after I got it!

Sadly this one is quite damaged and has some bad fading and old staining that won't lift. Its a shame as this skirt is soooo cute, the heart lace is my favourite!

I got this for about $10 back in 2015.. then I sold it, and then when I went to rebuy it I found half of Xianyu also looking for it and offering way more than I was willing to pay for it.. Solution? Beg for it back on the local sales page hahaha a friend ended up getting it from someone in a bulk sale and was able to sell it back to me. Bless!

Lolita brands love the name Chelsea? Good for me I guess, I get to buy random shit with my name on it.

Embroidery on velveteen! Back in my day Taobao used to have good stuff. Can't relate, Moitie heat press on poly McGee, can you? Jokes aside, this is really pretty in person and usually sells quite cheap!

I bought this on Mercari for like $15 :D ...anddddd it didnt fit lol as far as random handmade lolita goes, this is actually really well made. Pretty much on par with my burando velveteen pieces!

This is so cute IRL. I wish AP still did foiled velveteen prints. This is another one of those prints I wanted for years and could never afford but randomly found for a great price! I would love to get APs Gloria as well.
