Review:

Fabric: this kind of cotton is quite elastic but so it stretch more than listed as maximum measurements (like about 4 cm more. Lace could be better but it's not a tragic.

This OP has shirring and corset lacing at back, so it's quite universal. Three bears are done well so if you're thinking about removing them - just forget 'cause it will destroy the dress.

Details:

1. Bears are well done.

2. Zipper at the left side of dress.

3. Detachable bow.

4. Headbow.

5. Does NOT has waist-ties!

6. You can adjust the length of the arms straps (buttons).

In my opinion: 8/10

Angelic Pretty's Dream Sky OP Replica Review

My first review of any replica. So...

Some time ago I've decided to order AP's Dream Sky OP replica from Oo Jia. And when I've saved some money I wrote to her. I wanted a navy version but it was out of stock... So i bought black one :)

Stock photo from HelloLace:

Fabric: chiffon and polyester for sure, I'm not sure what is lace made of.

Review:

I've ordered it 10.05. Oo Jia told me that sewing time is about 10 days so if I want tracking number I should write her after those 10 days. So i did and she answered me really quickly :) 

I must admit that I'm really inconvenient customer ^^'  I mean I'm asking a loooooooooot of questions... But she was really patient and answered every single question and did it fast :)

She also told me that package arrives about 2-4 weeks after shipping. I was really surprides when it came 3.06 cause I was sure it will take longer :D

Ordered: 10.05

Shipped: 23.05

Arrived: 3.06

Oo Jia always mark package as 20$ gift so don't worry about the customs :)

Little note with listed measurements and details of the order:

The dress is custom sized so it's pointless to write any measurements ;) I've ordered bigger size than original + wanted to be more universal + a little bit longer than original :)

I think it's really well done and I'm really pleased ^____________^ As we all know replicas are a little bit different from original. So...

Front bow and firs difference - original has little stars at the bottom of the bow:

Detachable waist ties and the second difference...:

...original has stars instead of flower:

Detachable neck ties and another difference - replica doesn't have little stars on neck ties:

And the replica doesn't have little bows at the cuffs.

AP and stars lace at cuffs - I love this lace <3 :

...and at the bottom of the OP:

Back shirring:

The dress has 3 'layers' : 

- the chiffon one:

- the polyester one with AP lace at the bottom:

- the polyester lining:

Print close up:

Colors are really nice and are like those from original but my camera don't want to cooperate with me ^^'

At the end - Oo Jia gives for free matching headbow or you can buy 20$ bonnet :) I've decided to get a bow:

Shipping:  ???

Additional comment: I traded for that one, so I don't know the shipping costs of AP

Review:

Fabric: really nice kind of cotton :)

Measurements:
Welll... If talking about waist and bust then measurements are accurate, but there's problem with neck and armpits 'cause neck measurements for this one is not universal (about 32 cm max) and it pinch in armpits (circuit in the armpits: about 40 cm)


Details:

 1. Nice in touch

2. Lovely details of collar and sleeves

3. Detachable long sleeves

4. Cute little bows at the front and at sleeves


In my opinion: 9/10 (-1 point for neck and armpits design oversight)

Really nice idea of detachable sleeves - really good job:

If you have any questions, ask me - I'll try to answer :) But I warn you that I've sold this blouse so can have problems with answering more detailed questions.

Leonardo Collection doll review

This time it will be review of doll from Leonardo Collection :)

I bought this doll (ok...my mum bought me) like about 1-2 weeks ago in second hand although she wasn't too cheap. Of course she had some drawbacks I have to fix but they were not so big and visible. 

This is how she's looked when I took her home:

She was dirty at her face, matted hair and had 3 tearings in her body.

After washing her hair, face and clothes, she looks much better ^^ I've also mend her tearings :)

She is about 40cm (15,7"). Has well-made bonnet and dress, woody shepherd cane, bloomers, socks, shoes and even petticoat!
