I really love some of Beth's pieces. I'm sad to see VM go.
This piece turns 10 this year. I always thought it was cute.

Thank you very much, that's really good news! I was afraid it would be much more expensive. Do you happen to have source/link regarding the special set you mentioned? I'd be so thrilled if it was true!

Yeah, that's what I had been thinking! I'll just get it from LM then, less fuss and the price should be almost the same.
I actually thought this version (2012) had a small shirring panel on the back -> http://lolibrary.org/apparel/rose-flocky-chiffon-jsk-20120
I'd never fit into VM as well, so this is the only dress from them that I love and will *actually* fit me so yeah. I need it.
Is it still too small for you? In my case, when it's less than 5 cm too small I always alter garments. Being such a small diffference it's very easy to add a small thin strip of fabric at the side seams on the bodice. If the dress has waistties I use that fabric, the ties can still be used afterwards because usually you just need a small piece of them. This particular JSK has no ties but I'm sure you could find a very similar blue fabric and it won't be noticable when worn because your arms usually cover that area..
I do this a lot, I have bought garments I perfectly know will be too small without alteration. One of my most worn items is a Beth skirt that was almost 8 cms to small for my natural waist. I atered it and now wear it all the time, everyone comliments me on it... it's so pretty :)
