5 out of 5 starsAccording to Etsy, my item was delivered but could not be found. I wrote to the seller but received no reply. Two days later, I had a pickup slip from DHL in my mailbox, which I used to find my package in a parcel shop, even though I was at home the day it was supposedly delivered. That was a bit annoying. But the product is great and very comfortable to wear. The quality is also great. I would buy it again.

5 out of 5 starsFirst the delivery was fast and traced. The pettycoat is very soft and puffy. The seams are perfect and the elasticated waistband sits flat and is comfortable to wear. I wore the petticoat under my skirt on the same day of the delivery and a nice lady felt compelled to stop at my coffee table and compliment me about it. 10/10 would recommend.

Frequently asked questions
Are the dresses lined?
Yes! The majority of our dresses are lined, the type of material used to line the dress will depend on the fabric of the outer. We consider the appearance, comfort and wearability of the lining when choosing it. The skirts of our dresses are commonly lined with an anti-static synthetic as this prevents it riding up or sticking to tights. You can request to have the dress lined fully in 100% cotton but this will incur an extra cost.
