Poison Sugar Reveiw!!!

Hello there! I know I said the next post(i.e this post) would be about Bodyline's name and their history, however, I have a reveiw! So I am sure this is much more exciting! So I bought this skirt two months ago, however it has been hanging vigil in my closset, since it has been my first real first-hand buy, I figured I should reveiw it!
In case you all didnt know, Poison Sugar is an Indie lolita brand located in my state ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/thepoisonsugar ) I really enjoy the things she has made. I dont own much though, just what I am about to show you. She is an amazing and talanted sewer, I really admire her.  I also was able to talk to her a little bit at the last con <3

So, first things first :The skirt
This is the skirt I got, I really like it. It is really cute.The only problem I have with it is, the top layer, its fabric is a bit heavy compared to the rest of the skirt and it really weighs down on my petticoat. Other than that it is really cute and simple. Probably the simplist in my closset!
 This is the lace used across the skirt. It is sooooo cute! It was a great choice I think. The lace is only stitched on at the top so the bottem of the lace can be a bit flip-floppy. It is still really well done.

The print on the bottom! Aye, it is sooo cute! That is really my thing! I love suits, all of them, cards, and Alice in Wonderland! It is so cute!!!!!! That is my weak spot, this kind of stuff, this is honestly the main reason I bought the skirt, this little bit! If only I had more money, then you would be seeing A LOT more than this, haha


Then there is this, I think it really isnt worth my time, I dont like it. Thankfully it is detatcheable. In my opinion it looks a bit weird, and it doesnt really go with the theme I connect with the dress. I have taken it off and I plan to give it to a friend. Also the construction on this, it was iffy. The ribbon looks like it was sewn on on the back, however, it is glued on the front and if it gets tugged a little bit, it begins to come off.

Now, for worn pictures!!!
After OneHundred Fifty tries, I finally found a spot in which I could take a picture. Sorry my room is a wreck, I was throwing things everywhere to find a spot!!!I was starting to get mad xD
Most the rest of them turned out like this:

OVerall Reveiw

Price :5 /5
It was only $40 and I really love the skirt
Construction: 4/5
There was a few misshaps, but other than that it was fantastic!
Design: 4/5
It was so cute, but I really couldnt stand that dog!

So, overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I highly reccoment Poison Sugar, especially when it comes from indie brands. She does such a great job at what she does and her stuff really deserves to be admired. She really loves the fashion and it shows through her amazing work when sewing lolita!!

That is all for today, thanks for reading <3

Hey all~ I apologize for being so bad at updating sometimes. But I am really trying my best, for some reason I am always more busy over the summer... that isnt much of a good thing. Gosh, just when I though I could do all this stuff over the summer, I end up having tons on my plate. Anyways, I have a new project in my head. It will be beautiful, if I do it right. Sigh, always seems to be that way...
Anyways, I went out of town for two weeks, and I come back to learn that replica's have been banned on the Comm sales. Which isnt a particularly bad thing, but I really do find replicas a helpful alternative. I am sure there are other places to buy replica's though. That being said, I also heard that Oo Jia was stopping doing replica's...which actually makes me sad. I was really hoping she would do my DreamDress eventually...which is actually really unlikely because my Dream wasnt very popular...(Lotta 2006 IW). But I can still dream, right? But when I get the money, I swear, I will go on the comm sales and buy my dream dress, promise!!!
So for the next con the theme for the tea party is sailor/pirate. Some of my favorite styles, so this gives me an excuse to get a Sailor dress!!!! I am sooooo happy! It really made my day, I am probably going to get a BL dress, but it is SOO cute!
Speaking of Bodyline, are any of you particularly familiar with their reputation? It is quite quir! So horrible and mean, and a bit scary. A few months ago a BL model wanted to quit, it ended up being so bad she left the country, THEN they wouldnt send her her stuff. The girls in the lolita community really felt for her. It is really crazy, actaully I think my next post will go more into it. That will be an interesting post. Just wait another few weeks everyone...wait for the Bodyline reveiw!!!
So back to the replica topic(Just remembered something). What does this mean for replica manufactures? They are now forced to do their buisness on less trustworthy sites, such as Ebay. Not saying that there arent trustworthy people on Ebay, but honestly, I trust the comm sales more, because everyone there feels your pain when something goes wrong. Everyone understands that money you put into it, so EVERYONE tries to help watch out for people who are trying to steal your money. Plus most times, you get updated pictures and a lovely lady selling the peice willing to answer any questions. Most everyone there is very understanding...Goodness, I didnt mean for that to go so off topic. I also came across information that Oo Jia was going to get commision fabric.I think that would be nice, Oo Jia has a good reputation, and, if any of you knew, she also helps people with shipping TaoBao, and apparently her rates are good. So, she will keep her buisness going, but it is going to have a slightly different twist to it. I really can not wait to see what she does next!


Here is a picture of some of the girls in our lovely community~ There was a tea party two months ago that went very well, I can not wait for the next one right after my birthday, which, in fact. I share with Hatsune Miku! I am at the end, at the very left, to my right is my lovely lolita friend. The other four I had just met in person! They were such a joy to be with! They hardly cared that I was much younger than them! They were so nice and encouraging and afterwards they were willing to talk and take pictures with us! It was so much fun!!!

That is all for today <3 I am going to try to post tomorrow about Bodyline!! And some other fun stuff. Actually I was thinking of starting a "segment" something I talk about a little bit in every post. Please tell me your ideas.
It could be anything from recent loli happening to tutorials! I will try my very best to make as many as I can happen!
