I wore this on a cool evening and it kept me cozy but not too warm. The long sleeves and high collar are great for the season. The design is unique with the chain and buckle details, and it's definitely eye-catching. I got compliments from strangers. The sizing chart was accurate; I ordered my usual size and it fits perfectly.

Beautiful workmanship
The quality exceeds my expectations. The pleats are crisp, the bowknot is well-stitched, and the lace is intricate. The fabric has a nice weight to it, not too heavy but not flimsy. I like that it comes as a set with the headpiece, which is a bonus. This is my second Lolita dress from LaceRealm, and they never disappoint.

Looks like the picture
I was worried it might look cheap, but it's actually well-made. The polyester fabric has a nice sheen and doesn't wrinkle easily. The ruffles lay nicely and the bowknot is pretty. I wore it with some platform boots and it gave off a perfect Lolita vibe. Very happy with this purchase!

Very cute but runs small
The design is adorable and the quality is decent for the price. The lace is delicate and the buckle detail is unique. However, it runs a bit small in the bust area. I'm a 34B and the dress is a little tight. I would suggest sizing up if you have a larger chest. Still, I love the gothic college style vibe.

Fits like a dream
I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs, ordered a size L, and it fits amazing. The dress is elegant with the ruffle and bowknot, and the lace is not scratchy. I've worn it to a tea party and a night out, both times I felt wonderful. The color is true black and the details are meticulous. Definitely worth the money.

Bought for a costume
I got this for a roleplay event and it worked perfectly. The gothic elements are spot on, and the buckle and chain details add a nice touch. It's not super formal, more like a statement piece. The material is a bit stiff, but that's expected for the style. I might need to alter it a bit for a better fit, but it's not bad.

Amazing quality
I was hesitant to order online, but this dress exceeded my expectations. The material is thick and of good quality, not see-through. The details are intricate and the stitching is neat. I received many compliments when I wore it to a convention. The price is reasonable for the craftsmanship. Will definitely buy from this seller again.

My new favorite dress
This dress is so well made and beautiful. The ruffles on the sleeves and hem are delicate and flutter when I walk. The lace is soft and not itchy at all. The bowknot adds a sweet touch to the gothic style. I've washed it once in cold water and it held up great. I feel like a princess in it!

Absolutely gorgeous!
This dress set is stunning! The lace details and bowknot are beautiful, and the ruffle adds a nice touch. The fabric is comfortable and not see-through at all. I wore it to a gothic-themed party and got so many compliments. True to size, I'm 5'5" and 130 lbs, ordered M, fits perfectly. Highly recommend!

Great but needs ironing
The dress is lovely, with delicate lace and a flattering cut. It came a bit wrinkled from shipping, but after a quick iron it looked great. The size is true to my measurements, and the waist cinches nicely. The only issue is the straps are a little long for me, but easy to adjust. Overall, a nice addition to my gothic wardrobe.
