17 and 18 for the ask game!

Thank you anon! ૮₍˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶₎ა ♡

17: what's a brand you don't own many things from but would like to?

Victorian Maiden and Mary Magdalene! I only recently got my first VM piece and don’t own anything from MM but I really love their prints and design aesthetic. Their coats are really gorgeous too! Chocochip cookie is another super underrated brand I’d love to own pieces from. They appeared a lot in older GLB’s but aren’t super well know today :(

18: what's the best feature a dress could have?

Detachable sleeves! XD

Probably just anything that allows versatility with how you wear it- detachable sleeves, neck ties, skirts that can be buttoned open, detachable bows, skirts that can be bustled up or left down… I love having lots of options for how you can style a single dress. Unfortunately the detachability means these pieces get lost easily :( plain white detachable sleeves are pretty easy to replace with any other pair but lost neck ties and bows make me really sad, it took me forever to find a Strawberry Fields OP that wasn’t missing the neck ties! Crossed neck ties is one of my favorite things on oldschool pieces <3

(The second-best feature is shirring. I hate so much when brands don’t put shirring in dresses that could definitely have it… IW at least tends to do multiple sizes but AP constantly makes unshirred OP’s with back zippers that could have had back shirring and an underarm zipper and I hate it)
