Description: A cool toned white cotton/polyester blend blouse with long sleeves, peter pan collar, and ruffled bib. Trimmed with (really beautiful in my opinion) cross embroidered cotton eyelet lace and pearl coated shank buttons. There is no shirring or corset lacing. The sleeves have shirring on the upper arms and wrists for a puffed look. As with many Chinese brands, the materials can vary slightly from the stock photos, so there is a detachable black satin ribbon bow brooch that comes with this blouse but the ribbon is wider, the bow tails are shorter and there is a silver plastic cameo in the middle of it. This would look great with classic and gothic outfits, especially old school inspired ones.
**EDIT: I have added a couple of additional photos since on some screens the photos make it look like the fabric is shiny. The fabric has a very small amount of sheen to it (a little like cotton sateen) but it is not shiny. Please see photos at the very beginning and very end for different/better lighting.
Please note that this listing is for the blouse only. The rest of the items in the coordinate photo are not included in the listing and not for sale.
Condition: Like new but with some minor blue marks. I bought it new and have tried it on several times but have not worn it. I decided I don't like how it fits me and it doesn't really go with my wardrobe like I had hoped it might. I ordered it with custom sizing but it arrived with an XXL size tag. It came to me with blue tailor's chalk marks on it around the button holes and underneath some of the lace on the front, and washing in cold water seems to have made them go away somewhat but not completely. I could not photograph them because they're quite faint. It was hung to dry (no heat) so the chalk stains may still come out via other methods. It is wrinkled from being washed but ironing it will smooth things out.
Measurements:
Bust: 106 cm max (my bust is slightly larger than this and I fit in it fine but the buttons pull a little bit)
Waist: 104 cm at narrowest point, measured flat and doubled; I would recommend for no more than 100 cm.
Shoulder width: 41 cm
Total length: 47 cm from center front
Sleeve length: 60 cm from shoulder seam
For reference, the dress form in my photos has 88 cm (35 in) bust and 66 cm (26 in) waist.

If you live outside the USA and are interested, please comment on the listing or message me with your country of residence for a quote, but be aware that international shipping from the US is generally more expensive than international shipping in other countries.

I will not have access to my wardrobe from 12/1-12/18. Any items paid for after 12 noon US Central time on Wednesday 11/27 will be shipped after 12/19.
* NO HOLDS / NO DEPOSITS / NO PAYMENT PLANS
* NO TRADES unless I specifically state otherwise on the item listing.
* In general, my prices are not negotiable. However, I may consider offers if you notice that the item has been up for sale for a long time (1 month or more). Buyers willing to pay the listed price take priority (= the item is not reserved for you during price negotiation). PLEASE DO ALL PRICE NEGOTIATION BEFORE BIDDING ON THE LISTING. Price is no longer negotiable once a bid is placed.
* From non-smoking home with 1 cat. My cat is not allowed into the room where my items are kept and I do not handle her while wearing lolita so she does not come in direct contact with my items. I personally have a mild cat allergy so I am strict about this for my own comfort. However, I cannot guarantee items will be 100% cat free. If you are very allergic to cats, please consider your purchase carefully.
* I may refuse sale of any of my items to anyone for any reason. Reasons I would refuse are primarily to avoid taking on an uncomfortable level of risk. Examples: a potential buyer has certain kinds of negative feedback, or has no feedback and buys a high value item. If you have no feedback or negative feedback and the above reasons apply to your situation, please send me a private message before bidding to show you have read these terms of sale.
If I suspect you are buying my item to immediately resell it for a higher price, I will not sell to you.
If you have 5 or more negative feedbacks of any kind, I will not sell to you.
If you arrange to buy something from me and then ghost me, I will not work with you again.
* I am not responsible if an item you buy from me does not fit you. It is a risk we all take buying things online. I do my very best to indicate accurate measurements and describe fit to the best of my ability when possible.
* Because I am a private individual seller (not a store), all sales are final. Once invoice is paid, no refunds, returns, or exchanges are accepted.
* International buyers will be invoiced in USD, and are responsible for any additional customs fees they might be charged by their country as a result of the purchase.
* YOUR BID IS A COMMITMENT TO BUY THE ITEM. Winning bidders have 48 hours (2 days) to pay the invoice once it is sent. If bidder fails to pay within that time, and does not contact me within that time in the event of an emergency to make other arrangements, or backs out of the sale, they will be left negative feedback and item(s) will be relisted for sale.
* Free USA shipping = the least expensive method USPS offers with tracking and no added insurance (nearly all packages I send in the US have $100 insurance by default). Let me know before or immediately after you bid if you would like faster shipping and/or additional insurance and you will be invoiced accordingly. If you do not ask for faster shipping or additional insurance, you understand and accept responsibility for any risks associated with not purchasing them. If the price difference between the cheapest shipping method and the next fastest method is $0.50 or less, I will use the faster method at no additional cost to the bidder.
* I ship with tracking within the USA. I will only offer untracked international shipping depending on the item's value, if you have good feedback, and you understand that if the item gets lost you will not receive a refund.
* I will only ship items to address on buyer's Paypal account. If buyer wishes to have item sent to a different address from the one on their account and payment has already been made, I will refund payment and have buyer pay again after correcting the address. Paypal takes 3-5 days to issue a refund, which really slows down the transaction, so please double check your address before paying! It is your responsibility to make sure you have the correct shipping address on your account. If the item comes back to me as undeliverable/refused after the initial attempt to ship, buyer will be responsible for the full cost of additional shipping attempts.
* I will do my best to ship no more than 4 days after receiving payment. If it will take longer than that, you will be notified ASAP.
* If you need an item in hand by a specific date, tell me as soon as you know when you need to have it, and I will determine whether it is possible to accommodate your schedule. If it's really important that you have it by a certain date, do not bid until you know for sure that I can send it in time -- finding out after bidding that it will not arrive in time is not a valid excuse to back out of a sale! I am not responsible for unforeseen delays or variables beyond my control that may affect whether it arrives in time (weather, pandemic, etc.)
* I am not responsible for items lost in the mail, stolen, or damaged during shipping. I will pack items as best I can to avoid damage (proper size packaging and sufficient taping to avoid breaking open in transit, multiple layers of wrapping, bubble wrap or rigid packaging for flat/fragile items, etc).
* I generally only leave feedback as a seller after the buyer confirms that they received the item I sold to them (so I know there are either no problems with the sale, or have a chance to fix any issues). If I sold you something and have not given you feedback, this is why.
You MAY NOT reuse my photos or copy text from my listings for your sale listing!

Hi! Thanks for your comment. That is my bust measurement and it was comfortable and stayed closed but the buttons pulled a little bit. I personally wouldn't recommend it for 108 cm but it's functional at that measurement.

Hello! I am not sure if it's due to lighting, but is the fabric of the blouse "shiny"?
azukitan • over 5 years ago
Hi! Thanks for your comment. The fabric is not shiny, the lighting is just weird. If I get home early enough today I will try to retake or add a picture of it in natural light, if you like.

I added a retake of the front view and a picture of a coordinate I made with it so you could see how it looks against other items! The green dress is slightly more shiny than the blouse and the red boots are much more shiny. The pearl buttons on the blouse itself are shiny, for further reference. Hope this helps.
