Hi friends! <3

Lucky pack season is here! I decided to get two this year. One from Angelic Pretty and one from Metamorphose. The Meta one showed up first, so I'll be sharing what all came in it with you!

Thoughts:

The package arrived within a week or so after ordering. I was concerned about the hole in the side of the box, but thankfully no damage seems to have resulted from it.

The print is very cute and perfect for a winter themed coord. It features snowmen and little animals playing in the snow. The fabric is cotton with a polyester/chiffon type trim and soft lace. The waist bow is detachable along with the waist ties. There are decorative gold buttons on the bodice.

I was hoping to get the regular waisted version of this set, but it sold out quickly and I ended up with this one instead. I didn't try the socks or hair clip on because I was more concerned about the jsk not fitting. Sadly when I tried it on, I knew it wouldn't work out. The high waist line cuts across my chest instead of going under it (as shown in the first try-on pic). I tried unbuttoning the straps and repositioning it to sit properly and it looks a lot better (as shown in the second try-on pic). However, the straps are too short to meet with the back of the jsk to fasten together. I would need another few inches or so for it to work. I will put the set aside for now and keep checking Meta's website in case the other one gets restocked. If I can get ahold of the other one, then I will probably sell this set.

Have you ever had this happen?
