I was incredibly surprised by how quickly I got my Oddment Pack. IW listed it as coming out in mid-September, but I received shipping notice on August 30th, and received it September 1st. So yeah, three days. Wow. I've spent the last day trying to find as many names as possible, but there's a few that are lost on me. I'd really appreciate anyone pointing out the names I don't have.

Skirts
Lily Emblem Pintuck Skirt
Cute, if a little simple. I really like the corset waistband. No flaws found.
Acanthus Skirt in black
I LOVE this skirt. It's glorious. It's much darker than what the picture indicates (somehow it's black on black) and it's simplicity somehow make it stand out. The skirt is a thin, summery chiffon and the print is a different, soft fabric. Couldn't find any flaws on this one.
Musette Skirt in Black
I love the polka dots and the tiered black bottom. Very whimsical. No flaws found.
Flavie Check Skirt in blue
This looks quite a bit better than the stock photos give credit. It's a very cute mini skirt with actual glitter built into the silver/gray plaid stripes, so it shimmers as it moves. Great for casual wear, and the drop skirt style is very flattering. Not sure if I want to sell this, because it knocked out my expectations.
Delft Lotta Skirt in wine
Pretty, but I was never a fan of the original Lotta skirt. The mini doesn't do much for me either. No flaws noticed here.
Royal Parade Skirt in mint
I feel like I should know the name of this skirt. It reminds me of the Gertrude print, but I can't find the name of this one. It's also a more intense blue-green than this photo gives credit. No flaws found.
JSKs
Long version of Chocolat Classic in Mint
This is something I never would have bought on my own, but I'm glad ended up in my pack. This is definitely part of my top five in here. It's light, delicate, and adorable. I think I'd prefer the shorter version, but I'm still happy with this.
No flaws found on this one.
Trump JSK in Chocolate, Long version
This is actually one of the first prints that got me into lolita. Sadly, it's not the mint version, though it's still very pretty.
Theresia Rose Halterneck in blue, Long version
It's a gorgeous print, and I love the bluexcream, but I don't know if I like it enough to keep it. I'm still deciding. This has various faded marks over the dress, so this was definitely a "b" item. It's hard to to get a good picture of them, but I counted five white dots in total. They aren't obvious, but it's basically marks about 2-3 millimeters around that look as if they weren't colored in properly.
Hildegard in Bordeaux
I like the military style buttons on this, as well as the cream on wine color scheme. However, it's a bit too small on me. No flaws found
Rose Stained Glass in blue
This was the one that almost made me shriek. This was one of my dream prints, though I was really hoping for the skirt. But I like the jsk. The blue is gorgeous and it really does look like a stained glass painting. There seems to be either a threading or inking error on the front of the skirt. It's not bad, and it's contained to one small square, but it's probably one of the worst issues out of all the stuff I received. Which isn't really saying much, as all the problems have been miniscule.
Lace Crinoline Bustle in brown
I didn't like it when I first took it out, but the more I walk around in it, the more I adore it. It's the skirt portion that I've really fallen for. I would wear this with a bolero. No flaws found.
Emmalina JSK in sax
A bit glossier than the photos shows. It's cool to the touch and all the tiny blue roses give it a sweet, delicate look. Too small for me. No flaws found.
Cocotte JSK in dusty pink
One of the plainer jsks. Sturdy construction and pretty lace. Too small for me. No flaws found.
Flocky Tulle in milk tea
It's cute, but I don't have the body type that belongs anywhere near the words "empire waist". I found a dull gray circle, about the size of a pencil point, on the front of it, but nothing else.
OP
Rinks OP in black
This is the thickest piece I received in a box full of spring/summer items. Simple and intricate. After find the stock photo, I found that it was missing the ribbon on the collar. It's actually in the box, just not actually attached to the dress it's meant to be with. I'm glad I could figure out what the random bow at the bottom was for. Other than that, no other flaws.
Blouses
Long Sleeved Cream Blouse with heart buttons, probably size M
To be honest, peter pan collars in general don't suit me, so I'm going to end up selling all of these blouses. However I feel the worst about letting this one go. I love the tiny little details, and that it's a bit sheer for the summer months, it's just so very pretty. I caught the issues with this one myself. There are small orange marks dotted around the top. It looks like someone bought the blouse, was a bit careless while eating something with sauce, then returned it (there were also no tags). I'm going to wash this to see if the stains come out, but as it is, they aren't that bad. A spot on the lace, the bodice, and the back of one of the sleeves were all I could find.
Cream Corset topped short sleeve blouse, size M
Another cute one, and I really like the corset style at the top. Very pretty and no flaws found
White Peter Pan Blouse, size S
Intricate lacing down the middle and very well made. I don't know if it came across well in the photos, but this is very white, while the others are cream/beige. No flaws found.
Dusty Pink Sweater cutsew
I'd recommend this for shorter or smaller busted lolis, as the bottom of this cutsew kept riding up my stomach. It's cute otherwise, and a light, dusty pinkxchocolate brown, not the white/gray this picture shows. It's also slightly sheer,
Black Cutsew
Another cute cutsew. This is actually on the other spectrum. I would say this was originally either an M or L, because it fit my 94cm bust pretty well. It's very stretchy and flattering. The front buttons are just decoration, and shaped like flowers. No flaws found.
The rest:
Princess Sleeved Bolero in cream
This is less white and more cream than the photos show, which is good since I look awful in stark white. I'm glad I got this because I'm realizing I'm more of a bolero person than a blouse one.
Floral Headband
I haven't decided whether or not I'll keep this. It's cute to be sure, and I LOVE flower hair accessories, but...I don't know. We'll see.
Ribbon Headband
Very simple, very cute. No flaws.
Cream Canotier Hat
I looked everywhere, and I couldn't find IW's original picture for this hat. I like it, and it has a fairly wide opening, but I already have this type of hat. The only flaws I could find is that it has a small brown mark on the top of the brim, about the size of a pen point.
European Classic Cape in wine
Absolutely the biggest surprise in here. I've seen this cape tons of times, and I always thought of it as something that wouldn't look nice on me,thought I've wanted a cape for a few years now. I am so happy to see it! It was one of the pieces that made buying this pack worth it. No flaws found.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with what I got, and I would definitely do this again. If there was one thing that bothered me, it was that I didn't get any socks. Nothing bad, but I don't have a lot of OTKs, and I love IW's ballerina style socks.
Anyways, I hope this was helpful to others who are thinking about taking part in an Oddment pack!
