Reveiw: Angelic Pretty Etoile Twins/ Twins Etoile Bustier JSK

Uhm... Hi? Again, I feel that I must apologize for neglecting my blog for so long... But I'm back, with a much overdue review of AP's Etoile Twins~!

Etoile (star) is actually the highest level that a ballerina can attain, higher than even prima ballerina, though, this term is generally not used in many ballet companies now... Except for the French, but, hey, it's their term, so... I digress. 

My point was that, well, of course it was going to be a ballet themed print! In fact, I probably would've been very disappointed if they had literally taken twin stars and stuck them on the dress. NOT. CUTE. (To me at least... Ballet, however, I LOVE) ...Again, I digress. 

Let's begin, shall we?

 Now, I was very skeptical as to how much nicer a 'big brand' dress could be...and I'm still kind of skeptical. I mean, without a doubt, it's nicer, for starters, it has lining! But, I do have one complaint, and with Bodyline, I didn't really have any complaints on my favorite dress by them... But anyways, the ZIPPER! It just simply FRUSTRATES ME to no end. I know that I shouldn't expect perfect zippers from everyone, but this is one of the biggest brands in lolita! And I know that it's not not going up because of my size, because I can easily stretch the dress more. My point is that I HATE the zipper. Not just because it's difficult to zip, but because it's past being difficult! Every time I wear this dress, I get a blister on my finger where I was holding the zipper! (Hey! Beauty is pain!) But other than that ZIPPER, it's a absolutely gorgeous dress, made of a lovely and light chiffon-ish material, perfect for summer!

The print, isn't it cute~?!

I can only assume (most likely correctly) that these would be the etoile twins

Here's it in motion and another review I did on it:

So, all in all, lovely dress, evil zipper, removable waistties and bow, fake AND real corset lacing, twins, swans with crowns, pointe shoes that turn into Angelic Pretty, bubbles everywhere, and... I'm running out of things to say... just watch the video to see whatever I might've forgotten to say here~!
