Review: Lily of the Valley

This is my first review ever, so I hope I'm doing this right ^^


Lily of the Valley caught my attention because of a post at EGL, and I instantly fell in love
with the "Excerpts of a Victorian Cookbook" JSK and I also love indie-brands ^^

I'm a classic lolita with a soft spot for sweet, and though this jumperskirt has a sweets-print (which I am not too fond of normally) it has a very classical feeling to me.


Website: Lily of the Valley

Shipping/Pricing: 5/5
Shipping was fast and packaging was nice. Pricing was definitely apropriate.
Tyler even included a letter and a painting of a girl wearing the Excerpts from a Victorian Cookbook JSK, which is also shown on her website.
Communication: 6/5 ^^
Communication couldn't have been better! Tyler was very nice, responded very fast and kept me updated all the time!
Overall quality: 5/5
The Jumperskirt and headbow are of brand quality and are constructed and sewn very nicely and clean. The accessoires are also constructed very well and quite versatile.


Transaction

Communication was, as mentioned above, excellent.

Tyler was very responsive and even responded 2-5 minutes after
the reservation started (I was very nervous (and tired because it was late were i live)
and panicked, that all jsks were already reserved (there are only 5 of them) as they weren't up on the site as the countdown was over.

Tyler answered all my questions patiently and kept me updated throughout the whole process and even sent pictures.

There was some kind of delay,
because the customprinted pudding-fabric was sent to her printed the wrong way,
but since there was no deadline fixed this wasn't a problem for me.
Regardless Tyler offered me one of her selfmade rings as compensation,
which was very, very nice!




The Jumperskirt itself

The "Excerpts of a Victorian Cookbook" Jumperskirt is just gorgeous
and has lots of cute little details.
The customprinted fabric is awesome, so is the other fabric,
the lace and the construction.


I was able to choose from 3 colour options (pastelgreen, lilac and pink, each with white stripes or polka dots)
I opted for the pastelgreen colourway, because though mint is quite common in lolita, pastelgreen is not.

The JSk is fully lined (cotton at the bodice, silky lining at the skirt), has shirring at the waist and even has pockets ^^

It came with one big pink cotton and grosgrain bow and two small bows made of the same grosgrain ribbon. They are all detachable.
Also here I was able to choose the colour out of 6 options.



And...I almost forgot a very important thing... the Jumperskirt is custom-sized and fits perfectly ^^








I additionally bought the matching headbow and a multi-functional pearlchain, which can be "transformed" into a necklace or hooked onto the small bows. (see pics)




I defenitely would buy again from Lily of the Valley, because of the very friendly treatment and the amazing quality of the garments.
