Couldn't find one in the catalog, but a few anons were asking for a review of this dress, and I finally got it! A few points about it
>amazing fabric, feels luxurious but not delicate.
>the lace is either the exact same as the original, or a very close replication. Either way, its incredibly soft
> I waited to talk to my seamstress grandmother to confirm, but quite a lot of the details are hand sewn, very well.
>on that note, my dress has a small stain that appears to be blood near the nape area (probably from hand sewing)
>the buttons are offwhite, not pure white, but the correct button otherwise.
>though, the cuff buttons were sewn slightly off (easily fixed)

All in all, I'm incredibly happy with the quality! I'd be happy to answer any other questions. Otherwise, this can just be a replica general.

I'm not a lolita, but don't lolitas find purchasing replicas to be some sort of moral issue or something?

>> No.9303430

>>9303428
Yeah, most in our community look down upon those that purchase print replicas. It's a bit more of a grey area when it comes to bag and shoe replicas, however.

It was discussed in the previous thread, but this dress was bought as a christmas gift for OP and anons were curious about the quality

how do you know if that is a replica of nameless poem, couldn't they just buy directly from insta mori?

>> No.9303447

>>9303440
Yeah, I don't even wear lolita really, just general jgoth brands. My sister found it and thought I'd like it. It was from one of those shein type sites, so it was super dodgy but I know she would never have put in the effort to get me the original
>>9303444
I mean like, theoretically it could be. I see no real differences in the lace. I don't know if ista mori has a brand tag, but my dress has no tags other than an "m" tag. Maybe super discounted because of the blood stain and incorrect buttons? it was really cheap desu, 42USD

I think they mean it's possible shop X bought it from shop Y and put it up for sale like a reseller.

i understand, but pink x white bg means it's a rep

Doesn't mean much as the manufacturer changes its background frequently (their taobao is https://yiduyinxiang.taobao.com/ ).

i didn't mean that ONLY things with pink x white striped backgrounds are replicas

but things with pink x white striped backgrounds are replicas

like not all animals are giraffes but giraffes are animals. i thought this was common knowledge.
