>Do you like Angelic Pretty? Why or why not?

Not really. I loved them when I first started lolita in 2006~7, but I think I just grew out of it. However, I'll always have a soft spot for some of their stuff, just came to terms with it not being for me.

>What are your AP dream dresses?

I've been lucky enough to get both, which are also the only AP releases I have. Victorian Tassel corset cut JSK in black and pic related.

>Do you like the direction the brand is going in?

Yes and no. I think their quality has taken a huge dive over the years and a lot of the cuts are just bad, as well as the prints being awful compared to what they used to be. Every now and then they'll put out something particularly cute, though, like Diner Doll.

However, I do love the non-print pieces they're doing nowadays. If I felt the quality was better I'd be more inclined to get more, but they're so hit or miss to me. Pic related is gorgeous quality (though I'm not a fan of the lace used for the ruffly parts, but it's okay), but I bought the Antique Doll JSK, too and was so disappointed by it. The materials on it felt so cheap and it was seriously like a $60-70 dress I could have got off of Taobao, so the hit or miss has me hesitant to get more of their non-prints. I would like to get a tartan piece soon, though.
