RANT TIME YAY

Alright, this is a rant that I've been sitting on for a while. I'm sure that it's nothing that hasn't been said before, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway. As we all have, I've noticed a large decline in the quality of lolita brand's quality in not only material but design. And my favorite example of this are cutsews. Looking at these cutsews, while they resemble a regular shirt, they're clearly made of nice materials and not only have a unique graphic but have details that elevate the look on a whole. There's ruffles and lace, beading, buttons, little things that make the piece special. Not only that, but the cut of these cutsews generally have a bit of a flair to them at the bottom. This makes room for them to lay nicely over a petticoat and create a very flattering silhouette. They're overall well made and well designed, so it feels reasonable to price them at a higher price that we generally expect from brand name pieces. Now, let's compare that with these. These are some of the newer cutsews released from brands, and they're just... not it. The designs are (in my opinion) bland and uninspired. Some of these prints I feel like I could find in a local Ross or TJ Maxx.
