Post your "almost perfect but not quite" prints and what details ruined them for you.

Mine is Sugar Dream Dome, I love the fur collar, the print, the all over snowflakes. I love it all, but the pom-pom trim is too tacky. I know it's supposed to be snowballs because it's a winter print but it just looks off with the faux fur trim.

>> No.8266032

I think the problem is that it's such a wide band of faux fur on the bottom. I think if it was thinner(half or less) with a few more pearls sewn in. It wouldn't look so off.

Why a fucking teddy bear. Everything else about it is so mature and elegant.

If it was thinner you could probably wear it in another season too without it looking too wintery.

The rocking horse is really cute, but it would look better if it wasn't right in the center. It just looks kind of awkward.

That's crazy, the teddy bear is my favorite part. I think it's a very elegant royal little bear.

If anything I think the tassles are a little gaudy.

I love everything about this dress, but that stupid bib thing. I hate bibs and bonnets, they make dresses look like age play to me.

I would buy this dress in a heartbeat if only I could get it without the bib. I love this style cut so much.

Just way too much contrast between the white and dark here. It's less obvious on the lighter colorways but it's still enough to irritate me. It looks extremely busy.

>>8266428
All tits and the shirred looks great on me. It actually minimizes my bust and makes me look slender because my legs and arms are small but my torso is just wide and stocky. Dresses with lower waistlines actually make me look big. This same cut on cotton dresses doesn't work out as well though. It's something about chiffon that tends to work out great.

Why couldn't this have been some modern cyberpunk-esque city skyline print without the Dr Who crap? I would have lapped that shit up. This is so close to being beautiful and instead in my mind, it's just flavour of the month fandom crap instead. Also, red police boxes seriously? - And this is coming from someone indifferent to Dr Who, every Brit knows they're blue without exception, this makes them look like mislabelled phone boxes.

Hopefully some other brand will take inspiration from this close but no cigar print and make their own cityscape print.

The ribbon is a totally different shade to anything on the dress. It's very green compared to the blue-ish mint of the print. Lazy, AP, lazy.

When I first saw the print for milky cross I got so excited, because it looked so cute. But the dress is so fug.

I agree with the annoyance about the crosses. I was really excited when milky cross has a pentagram as the back straps on the jsk, though. I wish they'd cover pagan religions more too. I mean fuck, why not some other religion like hinduism? It would be so cool and there's so many themes and symbols to choose from besides a freaking crucifix.
