New Arrival Belle Epoque Rose


 A beautiful parcel arrived on my doorstep the other day~

Belle Epoque Rose JSK (and OTKs)!
I was a little surprised about the colour, I expected a much lighter, sweeter pink but in fact it is a dusty rose pink. Now I look at the stock photo though, I can sort of see it (provided I'm at a lower angle) and you can see too that if you look closely the pink of the chest bow doesn't really match at all! I'm going to be uh, taking it apart and remaking it I think, probably without the roses.


I've taken far too many pictures of this beautiful dress, but I hope you like them.




Even though it's not the colour I expected, I still love it. It settled my resolve to try and accquire it in every colour way~ ♥



I really do need more princessy blouses!

Belle Epoque Rose is made with a very different fabric than I'm used to from AP. I tried to capture it by comparing it to Melty Cream Doughnut's chiffon and Honey Cake's cotton. If you look at the top of the picture, you can see the sheen on the fabric- it reminds me a lot of my friends JetJ pieces.

  3. Yes there's something a bit off about that chest bow, it looks like it belongs on an older BTSSB dress tbh! From a distance and in the stock image it looks a bit less clashing but I think I prefer the replacement bow & pearl chain you've put there instead.

    1. Thanks! Yeah, it's ridiculous, but it really looks a bit plain without something going on there, time to make some things!

  4. Where did you get the blouse that you coordinated the JSK with? It looks like it might be BtSSB but I'm not sure. I've been looking for one like this for awhile. Thanks!

    1. The blouse is from MagiCatStreet! I'm not sure which colours they still have available but I wrote about it here: http://milkamenthe.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/magic-cats-street-blouse-x-cats-tea.html

  5. Woaaa, the dress is gorgeous. I like the coordination with the pearl chain at the front. Which brand is this pearl accessory? Also AP? It match very well! <3

    1. It is AP, it's taken from the Milky Chan Dot Applique JSK! It's not sold separately to my knowledge.
