Blouse L376 in the Black-Black colourway~!






♡ Price ♡
The blouse is around $30 CAD, with free shipping. It always takes the allotted shipping time. And it's not the most beautiful blouse but awesome for the price as it's one of the cheaper ones on there.

♡ 5/5 ♡ 




♡ Quality ♡
I honestly really love this top! In person it looks 1000x better than the stock photo as I was having my doubts when I purchased it. But I think I liked it more than the skirt I bought originally. hehe
The lace is actually nice and the fabric isn't near as close to the shine and thinness as in the stock photo. It has a zipper along the side and buttons up the collar. The lining lace type thing has cute little roses in it. The fabric gets very wrinkly but this is probably the perfect blouse for under a JSK as it doesn't have a lot going on in the front tummy section.






♡ 5/5 ♡



♡ Size ♡ 
The blouse comes in m and 2L, so I get a 2L for my bust. It's a bit tight but I usually wear a corset under my blouses anyway so with that it's fine. All the measurements seem to be true to size. Here is the measurement for a 2L
Bust 98cm
Waist 86cm
Shoulder length 39cm
Sleeve length 61cmLength 55cm


♡ 4/5 ♡
