Review: Bodyline l152 Floral OP with headdress in Pink

It came in this cute bag with the bodyline logo on it~ <3

As you can see, it comes with a headdress~

I got it in M

OKAY! Secret revealed time, mostly because I can't hold it in any longer what with my new order that came in; I'M A LOLITA...a sweet(mostly old school sweet) lolita to be precise. Now that that's off my chest, I can get onto the review XD

Quality: NOW, this is an older design, and cheaper one, HOWEVER, It still better quality than I thought it was going to be (since bodyline has such a bad rep when it comes to quality in their older designs) I'm not going to lie, the fabric feels like what it is, polyester. It has the signature cheap polyester feel to it, kinda smooth and silky. Because of this, the dress itself is a little shiny. The detachable sleeves however feel like a normal blouse (not a lolita one, since I don't know what those feel like(I don't own any... ^^;)) And the lace is kinda scratchy, but not to the point that it's itchy. The buttons are little diamond looking thingy, they look rather cheap if you really look at them, but its not that bad. ^^;

 It's slightly shiny :/

UPDATE: this dress is now for sale on my storenvy store! Find it, and other things, here: http://kidforocks.storenvy.com/products/4646761-used-bodyline-l152-floral-op-with-headdress-in-pink

'Nother UPDATE: I'm selling this now on Lace Market at http://lacemarket.net/bodyline-l152-floral-op-with-headdress-in-pink/   which kinda makes the other link kaput. HURRY! The listing ends soon! And it's super cheaply priced!

Yet another UPDATE:  IT HAS BEEN SOLD! Goodbye!

Color and pattern: It's the same color as the one in the picture, it photographs a tad orange-r though. The pattern is adorable~ It has these silver sparkly threads, or paints, or somethings, woven into the flower pattern. Behind the flowers and sparkles, it has this almost fishnet pattern on it, except not, 'cause fishnets are normally a diagonal square pattern, but these are little hexagons...?

Design: OMG, there is but one real design flaw with this thing, and it is this:

As you can see, it does not zip up once you get to the collar...Most people probably wouldn't be bothered by this, but it makes my neck feel sad that the collar is all floppy around the back because it isn't zipped up! NOW, the good thing about this is the following things, one: it's suitable for all seasons(except summer, in my opinion). Why? 'Cause THE SLEEVES COME OFF~ So it can be long-sleeved or short-sleeved! Personally, considering the price, that makes this uber awesome~! :3

Speaking of detachable things, like most bodyline dresses, it came with a bow that you pin on wherever you please. It's a piece of cake to put on and take off, unlike the sleeves which have tiny little buttons with tight elastic wrapped around them. The top of the dress is high-collared, making it nice and warm during the fall and winter seasons. I don't really know how thick the fabric is since I've never worn the dress without a thick petticoat and two crinoline skirts :P (I like the fluff!)

Teh detachable bow~

The top, with its pretty lace and ruffles~ ^^

Fit: Now, I was uber worried about this dress because the max measurement for the bust, was my bust measurement. BUT, it's very comfortable and doesn't squeeze at all! More importantly, unlike my only jsk, I was able to easily zip it up~ C: Since it has waistties, I can tie it up to fit my small waist, so the waist measurement was no problem; but even if it didn't have waistties, it still fit pretty well, just a little loose, I wasn't swimming in it or anything. The length is good on me too, it stops right at my knees, leaving about 1cm of my knee showing between my socks (which I'll do a short review of later). It looks great as an a-line skirt or slight cupcake skirt (and its able to flare open enough to fit fluff to make it a slight cupcake), i prefer the cupcake skirt though, so...yeah! :9

Though it's not quite puffy enough for me...its just too puffy to be an a-line in my opinion.

A little selca showing off the headdress~ :3
