I just received my dress from Coruscate Unique.
I was so incredibly thrilled!
<3 This dress is an absolute dream dress <3
Sizing:
Bust 33 inch - 35 inch
Waist 28 inch - 30 inch
Length of the dress (from top shoulder) 90 cm or 35 1/4 inch
I am a 35" (bust) -30" (waist) figure, and 176 cm (5'9"),
so I knew I was taking a risk ordering this dress.
And sadly enough, it didn't fit.
I have an athletic build and rather broad rib cage.
(It's brilliant with big lungs when running 10 km,
but pretty lame when trying on Asian sized dresses :P)
I'm really sad.
This is actually the third
Lolita dress that I have bought online,
that doesn't fit.
Clearly I must stop to think that
just because I have the same size
as the Asian dressmaker says,
it doesn't mean it will fit a tall girl like me.
This dress is sewn for a petite figure, and I must realise, that I don't cut it :(
Only custome-made orders for me from now on! :P
Anyhow,
for all you pretty petites out there, here is a review :D
Coruscate Unique is an Indonesia-based Indie Lolita Brand.
Zu and Aditya Roosandy are two young designers and entrepreneurs that have an amazing eye for what looks good in Lolita fashion :)
They have been published in magazines and have had many fashion shows :)
Wiii! :) Dream dress third from right :)
The dresses are sold through their showroom and
different Internet shops,
like Etsy and Facebook.
The dress cost 162 USD + 18.30 USD for shipping. In this price, a free Organza petticoat is included.
I also received a free matching ribbon, when I requested it by email. All email contact was very sweet and cheerful! :)
Nice gift wrapped box from Coruscate Unique.
Logo stamp on inner box.
Matching ribbon on top :)
Two packets, one containing the petti and one containing JSK + ribbon.
Nice organza petticoat - giving a medium poof.
Layers!
The ribbon has lace on the diadem part, a nice touch by Coruscate Unique :)

I loooove this print :) OMG it's just SO adorable!
Beautiful JSK
Label
Very good sewing. Overlock, good shirring.
Magically soft chiffon underskirt :)!
Beautiful chiffon underskirt, in the entire JSK, adding pretty poof! :)
Ribbon detail
So cool print! :)
Close-up detail.
Back
Detail of zipper. Look how well the zipper matches the dress print! :D
Lined inside.
The ribbon on the front is attached by hand.
No pattern-matching, but I haven't seen any Lolita brand care about that, not even the really nice brands such as Baby the Stars Shine Bright.
This is a stunning, well-made and beautiful JSK!
The matching ribbon really makes it perfect :)
I'm giving Coruscate Unique 5/5 Hazelbelle Nuts for beautiful design and excellent craftsmanship! :)
Review:

'Til next time...
