I was worried the polyester would be itchy but it's actually quite soft. The lace-up back lets me tighten or loosen as needed, which is great for long events. The wine color is deep and the ivory accents are delicate. The hime sleeves are my favorite part. I'm 5'2" and the length is perfect with petticoats. Very happy with this purchase.

Good quality, sizing tricky
The dress itself is beautiful and well-made for the price. The lace-up feature is a lifesaver because my bust and waist are different sizes. I'd recommend measuring yourself carefully and sizing up if you're between sizes. The hime sleeves are stunning but restrict arm movement a bit. Polyester material is a little shiny under certain lights. Still, a solid purchase.

Gorgeous and well fitted
This dress is even prettier in person. The lace-up back is adjustable and the hime sleeves are dramatic without being costume-like. I ordered my usual size and it fit perfectly. The polyester fabric has a nice weight to it and doesn't feel cheap. I've worn it twice already and gotten compliments both times. Great value for a lolita or Victorian style dress.

Perfect for formal events
I wore this to a Victorian-themed tea party and felt like royalty. The long hime sleeves are elegant and the lace-up back gives it such an authentic vintage feel. The wine and ivory color combo is sophisticated. Fabric is polyester but looks much more expensive than it is. I'm 5'7" and it hits just below the knee. Would definitely buy from this shop again.

Absolutely stunning dress
I was nervous ordering online but this exceeded my expectations. The wine color is rich and deep, and the ivory lace contrasts beautifully. The hime sleeves give it such a regal silhouette. The lace-up back allowed me to cinch it perfectly to my waist. I'm 5'4" and 130lbs, ordered a small and it fits like a dream. Highly recommend for any Victorian or palace-inspired look.

Lovely Victorian style
Wore this to a local lolita meetup and got so many compliments. The lace-up detail in the back is functional, not just decorative, which I appreciate. Fabric is polyester so it's a bit warm, but that's expected. The sleeves are dramatic and exactly what I wanted. Took off one star because the ivory trim had a tiny loose thread, but nothing major.

Beautiful dress, great details
Ordered this for a convention and it arrived quickly. The lace-up back is sturdy and the hime sleeves hold their shape well. The wine and ivory combination is striking. I'm typically a size 8 and the medium fit me perfectly. The polyester fabric is a bit warm but that's fine for cooler weather. The overall construction feels solid. Would recommend to anyone looking for a classic Victorian look.

Beautiful but runs small
The wine and ivory colors are gorgeous together and the lace-up back really lets you adjust the fit. I usually wear a medium and ordered a large based on the measurements, and it fit perfectly. The hime sleeves are lovely but a bit long for me. Polyester fabric is decent quality for the price, though it wrinkles easily. Overall a beautiful dress for the money.
