Next is l365 in black (blk), which I bought for a gothic look.

Really looking at it, the design of this dress is nice but a little weird. I liked the asymmetrical scalloped lace along the side, and it just felt like a potentially good gothic lolita dress to me, but I think I could've done better really. I think the one bow would've looked better than two big bows, and the length seems just a teensy bit short. It's very soft and isn't too thin, also the lace is pretty nice. The sizing isn't forgiving at all though.. After gaining just 5 lbs it fits me like a sausage and I find myself straining to lose weight just to fit into it again. I bought it in 2L, and wish I could've gotten it in a larger size. It's probably better for shorter, smaller lolitas though, and is still an okay dress in its own right. If you do consider this dress, be sure to order it a size up if you're on the larger end of the sizing limit. I still have this dress, but it's so short/small on me now that I don't think it can pass for Lolita anymore.

Pros: Interesting design, slightly thicker material.
Cons: Too many bows! A little too short, so likely not a good dress for taller lolitas. Runs small, so order the next size up if you're curvy or busty.

Overall rating: 3.5/5
