Lolita review time: Petticoat!

Today I will be posting a review of Petticoat Princess' 25" petticoat!

I have a huge petticoat for lolita. A big, expensive poofy petti of awesomeness. But, after the revelation that it's difficult to sit on the bus in it without the person next to me plonking themselves on top of it and me dying a little inside, I thought I'd better search for a less poofy, cheaper alternative. 

I bought the 25" petticoat in black from petticoat princess on Ebay, after seeing a pretty positive review of it online (wow, alliteration!). Here's my review:

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING:

The seller dispatched the item the next day, very quickly. It arrived just a day later! After seeing the package and the number of stamps on it, it was clear why. It's really nice and thoughtful when a seller goes out of their way to ensure speedy delivery.

  The petti came in the usual secure brown bag, and was then protected inside another clear plastic bag (shown below) which will protect the garment should any damage or rips occur.

STRUCTURE AND FASTENINGS

 The petticoat fastens, as described with a simple drawstring. Not very elegant, but it does mean the product is a one size fits most garment.

 The petticoat is quite short, but I don't mind - no petti peeping from under my skirt!

 POOF

There are three layers all in all. The material isn't great quality and a little stiff, but you get what you pay for!

 The poof is substantial. It's nice for a toned down look or as an additional garment for those looking to make their skirts even more cupcake shaped, but I will be sticking mostly to my lovely, huge yet impractical petticoat. If you're looking for a cheaper option, give Petticoat Princess a try, but remember, when it comes to quality, the price represents the result.

Hello little blog. I'm back for an announcement today! I have created a new book reviewing blog! I'm very excited about it, and was inspired by my friend Ari who writes all sorts of book/movie/comic reviews to start up my own to satisfy my passion for writing. If you've a love of reading and books in general, check it out. (: Below is all the information on both my new blog and my friend Ari's.

In terms of personal stuff - which I will keep up here on this blog- It's been very sunny lately. I've been out a lot with my mum who is my favourite person to be out in nature with because she appreciates the flowers and trees and such like I do. It's cooled down today and has actually rained for the first time in ages, but It'll probably continue to be sunny later in the week.

In other news, it is my 19th birthday next Friday, and my mother has revealed to me that she will be whisking me away to Whitby for the weekend, which is incredibly exciting! For anyone of a darker aesthetic persuasion, or just for fans of Dracula, Whitby is a great place to go for a short break. I'm very excited about going and will surely be documenting as I usually do. We're staying in a cute little cottage that I believe overlooks the harbour. It was a great surprise and I'm very lucky to have family that puts the thought and effort into arranging these things for me.

Well that's all for now. I'll probably be updating again on my review blog next week, and on this one probably the week after, we shall see. Bye for now. <3
