Since I've gotten into Lolita I've been trying to find some Wa Lolita and this is the best find ever! It may be expensive but it is worth every penny! There is sooooo much fabric on this dress that it's actually quite heavy. I love the asymmetrical patterns along the dress and the mixture of the more simple traditional arrow (yagsuri) pattern and the detailed embroidered kimono like fabric. The dress itself comes with two bows to attatch to the dress: one in a premade obi bow style that will sit very nicely when worn with the obi belt, and one with safety pins that you can pin onto the dress anywhere (this bow has long ribbons attached for more bell details to be attached! So pretty!). The dress also has shirring on the back so there is actually stretch! My measurments are about 100cm bust and 88cm waist and im able to fit quite comfortably in the size L dress which was surprising because I thought this would be a future wear dress. Even the velcro obi belt fits around me, a bit tight but very similar to my Japanese aunties tying me into a kimono so I'm used to it! The only thing I recommend to be aware of is there can be some gapping at the top in the chest area if worn without the innerwear/haori, but you are provided strings to lace the back of the dress like a corset which should fix that issue if you prefer to wear without the haori/wear it over instead of inside. Just know if you wear the haori folded make sure it is folded left side over right side so you aren't folded like a dead person! Just match how the dress is folded and you're safe. Anyways, I DEFINITELY recommend this dress to anyone interested <3
