I bought this item second hand from Japan and the item had a feeling of wear when I received it  and it has been worn a bit by myself. Lolibray lists Snow Dot as being released in 2021 but this skirt feels much older and I suspect it might have been the 2016 release though Lolibray only lists a JSK in that year. The cotton of the skirt is fading and is no longer a rich black , the fading is the worst around the waist band.  (see photo 3).  The ribbon also bunches up in weird way around the hem, it is not loose , as it’s been sewed in a channel , but occasionally needs to be straightened (see photo 5) . I am trying to make some space in my closet so I am trying to find this wounded bird a new home. Despite the fading the dots give a lovely texture to any kuro or gothic outfit.
