Axes Femme replica JSK.
Main fabric: polyester chiffon, feels OK. Gorgeous flocking print, crisp and detailed, feels lush. Lining: ugly cheap shiny polyester with a flounce of main fabric covered with thin netting.
Lace: Thin and terrible. Doesn't even match the colour of the dress (white VS cream). Also, they use a strip of netting as lace on top of the bodice. Thankfully, it's not at all prominent - it's only on the removable straps and under the bodice, where it's covered by a strip of netting.
Ribbon: Velvet, one-sided but nice looking.
Some loose threads.
The dress itself can fit a dozen petticoats (like the other dress, it's really generous with the fabric), but the lining is very narrow, maybe 100 cm in circumference.

Polka dot cropped bolero.
IT STINKS. The stink should go away soon as I give it a wash, though.
The knit fabric is nice, though I can't tell what it's made of. The crochet edging is really nice, made of a shimmering mercerised cotton. Sadly, it's offwhite whereas the polkadots are white. Because of the shimmer it's hardly noticeable, though.
The polkadots are made with some sort of stiff fabric paint, might show cracking in the future.
The buttons are sewn on securely, the seams are clean and nice.
