The faux two-piece design is really clever, looks like a blouse and skirt set. Fabric is a nice medium weight twill. My only gripe is no pockets and the sleeves are a touch tight at the upper arm. Still, the ruffled hem is gorgeous and it photographs well.

My new favorite dress
The ruffles and asymmetric cut are so flattering. I sized up based on the chart and it fits perfectly with room for a blouse underneath if needed. The printed plaid has a slight sheen that looks lovely in photos. Shipping took about two weeks but worth the wait.

Pretty but sleeves run long
The twill fabric feels sturdy and the plaid print is crisp in person. I wore it to a local lolita meetup and got compliments on the ruffles. Only issue is the long sleeves hit past my knuckles, so I'll need to cuff them. Still a solid buy for the price.

Cute but needs a good iron
Arrived pretty wrinkled from the package, took a while to steam out. Once it did, the spliced plaid and twill combo looked adorable. The ruffles at the collar are my favorite detail. Fits true to size for my bust but a bit snug at the waist. Good for autumn weather.

Dark blue color is stunning
I ordered the red/dark blue and the color combo is even better in person. The faux two-piece detail makes it look like I'm wearing a layered outfit. Long sleeves have a little stretch. I'm 5'7" and it hits mid-thigh, so I wear it with bloomers. Super happy.

Exactly as pictured
No surprises here. The dress matches the photos, the sizing chart was accurate, and the stitching is clean. I love the spliced plaid panels and the ruffled collar. It's become my go-to for weekend tea outings. Worth every penny.

Comfy and cute all day
Wore this for a full day of shopping and lunch. The twill fabric didn't wrinkle much and the ruffles held their shape. Sweet style is spot on. The sleeves are long enough for my arms, which is rare. Would buy another color if they had one.

Starlight Academy vibes exactly
This is my first Dear Dolls piece and I'm impressed. The printed plaid fabric is soft, not scratchy at all. Long sleeves make it great for cooler days. The dark blue version looks almost navy in some light, which I love. Got so many questions about where I bought it.

Great quality for a sweet dress
I've bought cheaper lolita dresses before that fell apart, but this one feels well made. Seams are neat, no loose threads. The red is vibrant and the dark blue trim contrasts nicely. I wore it to a convention and stayed comfortable all day. Definitely recommend.

Perfect sweet coord staple
I was worried the red would look cheap online but it's a deep, rich red. The asymmetric hem with the faux two-piece look makes it feel more expensive than it is. I'm 5'4" and the length hits just above my knees. Wore it with a petticoat and it puffed out beautifully.
