Victorian Maiden - Odette OP in Black (1st Release)
US shipping is included!
Purchased secondhand (I believe from the commsales) and worn a couple times. Stock photo is the rerelease stockphoto but this is the original release of the dress, which came out sometime between 2000-2001. The quality shows, the velveteen is plush and the dress is impeccably constructed, with a fully lined interior. Sadly, it no longer fits me, and I rarely wore it besides, so it needs a new home. Excellent for petite lolitas.
Please note that the dress does not come with any underskirt; you will need to have a separate underskirt to go under the dress. I recommend either also wearing an underpinning, or a skirt with a high waist, because otherwise you can see the gap between the waistband of the underskirt and where the hem of the dress lifts in the back (and through the eyelets of the lacing as well if they’re loose) when you’re walking/moving around. Also might work as an overdress- see sizing notes.
Condition: For a nearly 20 year old dress, it is in excellent condition. There is only a slight feeling of wear to the dress overall and a bit of wear/creasing to the velveteen ribbon lacing in back. There is one tiny stain about 3mm long hidden in the front pleats of the dress, which I have provided a photo of.
Measurements:
These are my recommendations as the original release has no recorded sizing (it is smaller than the rerelease):
Bust: 85cm max with the corset lacing closed*; I recommend being under this measurement, probably an 82cm bust fits best.
*The corset lacing on the back does technically make this sizing adjustable, but creates gaps in the back of the dress, so you would need some sort of blouse or underdress to wear it any larger. This is why I recommend it for the smaller end of sizing, I don’t think it was really intended to be worn corseted open very much.
Waist: 66cm max
Length: 83cm from back neckline to hem
