My first ever lolita purchase! In the various beginner EGL tutorials I've read, I found that a lack of petticoat is a common mistake for rookie lolitas. Determined to go against that, I decided to purchase a petticoat before I got anything else! ...Well, this is actually my 3rd ever EGL purchase. The first two were purchased through a Taobao reseller that shipped the items at a way later date. The petticoat just so happened to arrive first because I used a reliable proxy service instead of a middle-man. (Rip 42Agent)
The petticoat is very comfortable and the poof is quite durable. As of writing this entry the petticoat retains its original volume!
(Though, proper storage goes a long way)
