My impressions of the gothic lolita skirt from Restyle

Yesterday, my lolita skirt from Restyle finally arrived. 
It's truly more beautiful than I already imagined it to be!

The delightful print of the skirt. It's simple, but still: The details are so lovely!


About the brand Restyle:
Restyle is a polish brand that produces mainly gothic-themed clothing and accessory. They only sell their products online (at least I'm 99% sure they do).

I became aware of the brand as I browsed on the german online second hand store Kleiderkreisel for lolita mode. As soon as I found the skirt, I fell in love with the print and checked out the website of Restyle- I wasn't disappointed. 
Even if it's not a lolita brand in particular they offer alot of loli-able clothing, especially accessories! Don't think this store's just interesting for the gothic people around here, classic lolitas will also find some nice pieces to wear and love. :)


About the skirt itself:
First, let me show you how it looks while worn:

The material:
According to the Restyle online store the skirt is made out of 100% cotton.
Also, it says the skirt DOESN'T come with a sewed in petticoat, but mine owns one. I guess I got an older version of the skirt, and I think I understand why they removed the petti- I'll talk about that later.
The appearance of the fabric is mat, but it feels not as soft as some other lolita cotton pieces (which isn't a bad thing after all).
What gives the skirt the IT is the stunning print, of course. It's only printed over the fabric, not into it, so I wouldn't recommend throwing it in the washing machine.

Pro:
I'm feeling very comfortable wearing the skirt. You have a zipper in the back that nearly disappears when closed once- the zipper also makes it alot easier to put it on and off. 
You also don't have to worry about sizes: The skirt's avaiable from S to XXL and has some shirring on its right side.

Con:
Only thing I have to criticize is the petti-problem: I can't blame them for sewing tull underneath the skirt. It looks great, the tull is thick and strong- but then there's this thing with the zipper: Somehow it seems they didn't put any tull where the zipper is, and the skirt is a little bit flat there. I didn't recognize it at first, and it isn't a main disadvantage, but still...you see it if you know it's there. :/

Summary:
 So, was the skirt worth the price?
I payed 50€ incl. shipping costs and I'd say: Yes.
I'm content with every aspect of it, except the petticoat in the back. But that's just a tiny flaw, and Restyle saw it and corrected it.

All in all I have a nice opinion about Restyle and I think about ordering some jewelry there sometime. :)
