Thoughts:

Like the Holy Lantern jsk before, the straps were too short to be worn normally; so it became a halterneck. The print with all the colorful jewels surrounded by gold give off the feeling of a princess-like elegance. Each of the jewels has an image inside such as an angel, unicorn, cross, or the brand logo which I think is pretty interesting. When I went to touch the waist bow to examine the golden trim that had been used, the stitching securing one of the ends of the bow came undone.  It is easy enough to repair but it shouldn't have happened at all since it is a brand new item. I'm also not too fond of the little ribbon bow at the neckline. It looks like it was randomly added on at the last minute. Probably someone thought it needed more bows or something I don't know lol :-P Putting those things aside, I have some coord ideas already in mind and am looking forward to wearing this sometime soon :-)
