    Just a heads up. They're not a designer. Devil Inspired is a reseller/importer for many different designers who sell on Taobao. It matches the image because they use the actual store photos. So most of their stuff is inexpensive because of where it's produced and the original brand not because they're knock offs or dupes! Also as others have pointed out the measurements are without fitting ease. So always size up if you can.

    That's a beautiful dress. A lot of times the "measurements" are the actual measurements of the garment, not the intended body measurements. A garment should always be a little bigger than the body it's for, and clothing websites don't really make that clear.

    You can see they styled it over a petticoat so the dresses should be longer than floor length to compensate.

  • @soundhinata

    You can get a corset back kit and take out the back panel and add the corset back and itll help with the fit issue.

  • @sophiecheng2384

    Most Taobao lolita designers make smaller batches of dress, so your best bet is usually finding someone you can preorder from. So if you really want this dress, you can wait for the fourth batch or buy second hand. The designer will announce it on their weibo and taobao shop.

    Wow, this really surprised me. 60$ is an insane price, even if the fabric is not the highest quality! I honestly expected it to look like those cheap costume shop dresses, so it was a very pleasant surprise that the photos were actually reliable.

    A lot of times items will have one minor difference that they probably don't think you would notice in the picture compared to when you get it. Similar to the WW2 replica military jacket I got from the history bunker. The belt that came with it had a wool buckle in the picture but it was a metal buckle when it arrived. Dyed it black of course or tried to. It sits at a charcoal shade.

  • @kerrychabot

    Just be careful with Devil Inspired! From what I’ve heard their customer service is TERRIBLE when there’s problems with your order. I follow someone who had an almost 6 month battle with them for a refund on items that were returned for an exchange. Her tracking showed that they received the items back, and then they tried to ghost her!

  • @SaraiisSarah

    I've been wanting to try Devil Inspired for years. A lot of lolitas I watch on here recommend it if you don't have a huge budget. This dress was gorgeous! Maybe I'll finally give it a try. :)

    • @itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118
      @itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 Před měsícem +22

      Devil Inspired is a reseller that upcharges quite a bit, they're one of the worst when it comes to that. I would recommend ordering from the brand itself on taobao, either with or without a shopping service.

      @@astralb.2647 My other comment with the price breakdown got removed for some reason. Maybe yt is now censoring the word l0lita, eek. You never know when you trigger yt censoring.
      But I'll tell you the short version of it. 42 l0lita is also known, just like DI, for upcharging a lot. Some of the items on both resellers are 2 or 3 times the original price. 42 l0lita also overcharges for shipping.
      DI is known for terrible customer service, and 42l0lita as well as their mother company 42agent are also known for terrible (or nonexistent) customer service if anything goes wrong. Save yourselves the money and trouble by just buying those items in the original store. Use a reputable shopping service if you need a shopping service.

    It looks so beautiful on you!! I just recently went to a Renaissance faire this weekend and I used my hoop skirt for the first time and realized that there is a reason why you see so many hoop skirts without any fabric between the hoops. It gets so hot under there, especially here in Texas. Yet, I had fun and will totally go back but I will be changing my hoop skirt just a bit.

    Try adding some mesh panel inserts to the side seams and where the sleeves hit the back panel use some black elastic. Any seamstress can do this for you or it's a fairly easy diy job.

    If you gently steam the dress (with a non-touching iron), you may be able to loosen up the arm hole elastic a little bit. Good luck, it's very cute on you.

  • @BoxOfShockolates
    @BoxOfShockolates Před měsícem +6

    Hi! hmm, perhaps you could do some surgery on the back. cut the stretchy fabric down the center & add some grommet tape, and lace it up satin ribbon, so it looks like a corset in the back? you probably also find similar stretchy material to make a modesty panel, so your back isn't out. unless you don't care about that.
