Yes! The skirt is actually long enough, too -- and I ONLY noted my height, not my bust size et all. (In all honesty, since I can usually fit into a mainstream 2X well enough, I think it's more risky asking places for custom fits, you know? Just in some of the experiences I've had.)
It's reallllllly nice. I'd compare it to retail line Lip Service (although, honestly, I don't think my straight Lip Service is all that better quality) or the cotton pieces I have from the now-defunct Eternal Love. I paid about $65 after shipping! You couldn't buy a piece like this (even if Hot Topic still carried goth items) and it's doubtful I could even sew it this cheaply (since I'd have to buy bulk amounts of trim, and it's nigh impossible to even FIND black lace).
I think a lot of the lolita subculture people who are complaining about this company really have NO IDEA about production or what's normal for factory garments -- expecting things to be perfectly fitted, lined, couture items for $10. :P
I know we've ALL got to be broke now (I did a lot of therapeutic shopping during the stressful holidays, hence these dresses, oh ho ho) but I may have to do a Link List post of all the goth-ables from that site. Well... all the SOLID BLACK ones, at least. ;)
