My big, classic and otome wardrobe post!
Here we go again! I didn't think I'd be doing a wardrobe post this year, but I ended up feeling so nostalgic I changed my mind.
Previous years posts: 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
I found lots of dream dresses in 2017, so I feel very lucky. I'm trying not to shop, or at least not to buy any main pieces until my Japan trip in October 2018. As always, I'm trying to post more coords this year on my instagram (@bisque_d0ll), so drop by!
Moi-Meme-Moitie
I love the Velveteen OP and Cape set, it's from 2001.
Mary Magdalene
Finally managed to get my hands on the Cordelia OP this year, it's so lovely. Both Cordelia and Christel OPs have sparkly threads woven into the fabric.
MM's Burberry JSK is one of the most flattering dresses, all those pintucks are just so gorgeous.
Victorian Maiden
I love VM ( as you may notice in my blouse section); I am heartbroken by them closing. Give me all the VM.
The floral gobelin JSK was one of my long time dream dresses, 2017 was lucky for me.
The blue JSK is so summery and cute, I love the bow detail on the back. I sometimes end up wearing it the 'wrong' way round, works either way.
Juliette et Justine
I tried to give one of these up, but this is one of my favourite JetJ print.
I nearly tried to sell the lace JSK, but it's so lovely.
Floral JetJ = Love
Another dream dress 2017 delivered was the Anterieur de Naitre JSK (middle), so beautiful, the lace, the velvet... it's what's Lolita dreams are made of.
Metamorphose
Old school Meta rules!!
Innocent World
Both were presents, they'll never be sold!
Excentrique
I'm not over Excentrique closing either, why?!?!?!?!
Angelic Pretty
Dotty!
All the Rosettes!
Jane Marple
JM's Tromp L'oeil OPs are so comfy and awesome.
The Trump OP is one of my favourite JM pieces.
I bought the JM British Library OP on a whim, it's so stunning.
Emily Temple Cute
ETC - I love the cuteness of all their Alice prints. And all their stuff actually! I need to buy more ETC.
Milk
Milk has really grown on me as a brand of otome.
Alice and the Pirates
Love the AATP Circus print!
Other
Sheglit & Baby the Stars Shine Bright
Taobao - I wanted to include some Taobao dresses this year, that I often include in my Lolita/Otome coords. There a bit more vintage leaning, but they have served me well.
Atelier Boz & Excentrique

Jane Marple x3 - the gobelin jacket is so stunning.
