Although AP at least makes it a bit more obvious rather than try to make the non-lolita design worn for lolita (like BtSSB did with this one with the underskirt). I think we'd all be a little less confused had BtSSB just called it a casual version or something.<br /><br />I think that might be the one I was thinking of when thinking of seeing that fabric before. As far as a simple design update, it definitely is a lot more modern lookig than the 2005 OP version - so the update part has worked. It's just the choice of criss-cross ribbons like this is heavily subjective. But the other two cuts of are lovely, so I'm happy to overlook or ignore this one. :PCupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740637850835315898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-87677265157907023982019-05-28T18:42:27.559+01:002019-05-28T18:42:27.559+01:00I thought La Floraison Feerique was odd as well; I...I thought La Floraison Feerique was odd as well; I had trouble figuring out what was going on with it when I was posting it to updates. But yeah, I agree that there is probably a target market out there that would love it, but I didn't really "get" it. <br /><br />The cut of Maiden’s Rose Garden that has the X's of ribbon at the bottom is almost a carbon copy of Rococo Tulle OP from 2005 (https://lolibrary.org/items/iw-rococo-tulle-op) without the puff sleeves. I don't know off hand if there was a JSK back then or not and if so, I'm not sure what it looked like. I suspect this was an intentional re-working of the old design and not a coincidence because it's so similar... still, if I was going to pick a design from 2005 to re-release, I wouldn't have personally picked that one. But, it seems to be at low stock already in come colors, so clearly the designer knows better than I do, lol!RaineDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853405583082399924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-67987913869929912952019-05-28T08:40:07.163+01:002019-05-28T08:40:07.163+01:00Definitely, I love Innocent World exactly because ...Definitely, I love Innocent World exactly because they are not trying so hard to reinvent themselves, but rather keep doing what they do best. I feel like I've seen this fabric too, probably from Innocent World as well, but I couldn't find it again. It might just be that it's a commercially available floral fabric? If only I could fit into the OP, I would buy it so hard!Cupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424220962457880734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276712859287596508.post-48768664962381406112019-05-27T22:00:54.486+01:002019-05-27T22:00:54.486+01:00I like the fact that Innocent World's release ...I like the fact that Innocent World's release has this nostalgic feeling to it (I really feel like I've seen this fabric before!), but, as you said, the bottom part is a bit... strange? The collar area, though, is stunning. Definitely my favourite part.Laura Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381279929087131167noreply@blogger.com
