The dress looks like the pictures and is even more gorgeous in person! There are so many pretty details.
The Dress:
I ordered a size S and it fit me perfectly. There's shirring on the back and a small hidden side zipper. The shirring seems to be fairly generous in stretchiness, but I don't know the exact sizes that it'd be able to accommodate. The sleeves that sit on the shoulders are secured by a button that can be adjusted to fit slightly bigger. This is nice for helping people get the right fitting, but the buttons look a bit fragile.
The dress has a good heft to it. I wore the 45cm 16m Aurora & Ariel (Super Violence) petticoat with this dress and they work well together for me. But, the dress weighed down the petticoat more than other dresses did. Something to keep in mind!
With the petticoat, the dress falls maybe slightly below my knees. I'm 5'6" / 168cm.
I was worried about how a blouse would fit/look with this dress, but I was able to wear one and it looked good IMO! I wore the "Elpress L White Chiffon blouse".
For accessories, I paired it with "Dawn And Morning~Flower Wedding Lolita Accessories" in pink. The pinks are a bit different from the dress, but I thought they still went well together.
The dress itself was pretty comfortable too.
Shipping:
I had a large order, so I'm not sure if things would be different if you were only ordering the dress. For me, the processing time was ~2 weeks, and (Standard/Cheapest) shipping was 30 days. The box arrived in good shape and everything was packaged safely. I also received a free gift of assorted hair clips.
Customer Service:
I'd heard that 42Lolita had great customer service and I'm glad to say I also had a great experience with them! They were very kind and helpful! Response time was fast too. I would recommend them and I'll be ordering more for sure!
