>>9596907
By the way, the translation in OP >>9596790 was shit. It should read something more like:
>5年程前に研修で訪れた街のウィンドーに飾れたヴィクトリアンメイデン様のパティシエールワンピースの生成にひと目惚れ。それ以来収集して着るようになりました。今ではクローゼットに沢山…コスプレ衣装より多いような。こちらでは私聖羅と友人、イベントで撮らせていただいた写真を展示しています
>Five years ago I fell in love with the generation colourway of Victorian Maiden-sama's Patissiere One Piece that was in the window display of the city that I visited during the training. I have collected and wear it since. Now a lot in the closet ... more like a cosplay costume. Here I display the photographs I took with the Seira and friends, at the event

The timeline and translation is confusing since the site is "copyright 2005.2" but she says she bought that OP "five years before". According to Lolibrary Patissiere OP was released in 2002, but it doesn't make sense for a 2002 OP to be her first lolita piece when there are photos in the collection like >>9596863 that are explicitly dated as early as October 2001. Even if she was rounding up to five years, Patissiere must be at least 2001, possibly 2000 (if VM even displayed in physical shops as early as 2000).

I tried to look it up on VM's website using the Wayback Machine to check where that 2002 date might have come from, but I couldn't find that OP in their catalogue at all.
