Baroque has released an anticipated print called Kingdom of Lolita which features a beautiful overlay in various sought-after colors. In my opinion, the Black x Gold colorway is the most regal, and the dark Purple colorway is so elegant and refined.
Reservations will be open until September 2nd. Skirt is $140 USD, jumper skirt is $185 USD, and one piece is $230 USD. They are also selling the crown headpiece for $60 USD. It is a more expensive item from them, but I can easily see this turning into another coveted Lief Sacred Night in terms of popularity.
There is also a set of tights for $20 USD, but the wine color in particular does not really match with anything. The black is pretty, but I am unsure for the color choice for the wine set.
I was not thrilled with Merry Making in the Ghost Town by Alice and the Pirates at first, but I had a chance to see the JSK I in person in the wine colorway and was really impressed! The person who was wearing it shared the same disappointment that I had in regards to the unfinished ends on the black ruffles. Apparently she mentioned it was to look like cobwebs; just looks undone to me. The fabric itself is really pretty though and the print is perfect for the upcoming Halloween holiday.
Who wins the tartan battle? As expected, bigger brands released several tartan print reservations. With the coming fall and winter seasons, there is always at least one tartan print somewhere! Angelic Pretty and Alice and the Pirates are standing off - who wins in your eyes?
