So I finally decided it was time to get something more than accessories. I finally bought a coat! It took a little bit of time to have it made and sent to me but...the result was gorgeous!
I went through many Loli-type online boutiques and found one that was gorgeous, practical and still very Loli. It's a gorgeous coat from Qutieland!
Isn't it beautiful? I love wearing it! It really makes me feel one giant step closer to being a real Loli!
This is the package as it came to me (on Christmas Eve!!!!)

Of course I blocked out all of the personal information X3 . I was so excited when I got the package! I immediately grabbed the camera (having it on hand of course from taking pictures of the babies).

It was all neatly packaged and wrapped in plastic as it does have some faux fur and the material does catch hair quite easily. And it is really difficult with having a dog with blonde hair.
But so far so good, I have been using the coat and no problems :3 And you can definitely tell the difference in picture quality of when I take pictures with my phone or my actual camera xD

Here is the lovely coat, just out of the plastic wrap. It was quite heavy but the quality is very good and it keeps me warm for NY winter. I am very happy with it.

Here is each piece. I hadn't realized from the photo on the site that there were parts xD On the left is the main coat. The top right is actually a little neck piece that goes over the coat's buttons and the bottom right is actually the bustle that goes in the back. Each piece is attached with two safety pins each.

Here is a closer picture for each piece so you can see the lacy detail. I love how the neck tie and the bustle fan out so you can see the gorgeous lace. When all put together this coat can make anyone feel like a Lolita or a Princess. All the while remaining nice and warm!

I can't get over how elegant this coat looks. Do you see how the neck tie adds an antique touch of elegance? It just keeps transforming with each piece you add on. And if I wanted to, I could add a cute brooch here and there!

My favorite part about the coat is the detail. I love the gem and chain adornments on the neck tie resting above the layers of lace. The other area that I love is near the bottom of the coat where you see a gorgeous embroidery of a bird in a cage. I couldn't get closer without cutting a part of the beautiful design.
All in all, I love it. Yes, it does take about a month (as they state it on their site that it could take that long) but they do work with you. If you have questions, they are sure to answer them within a reasonable amount of time. Being one that rarely buys clothing online, much less from a Lolita type of shop, I found it very easy to order from them. I was worried that it would be too small. But they do communicate with you and they offer their best advice. You can even track your orders! And the results are even more amazing than any picture could show you. So I am very happy with my purchase. And the prices are just right. So if you ever go shopping for Loli, definitely try www.QutieLand.com. I will be buying from them again =)
Thank you so much for my awesome coat! (And don't worry, I will be posting a picture of actually wearing the coat ;3 )
