I wore this Taobao gothic lolita nurse outfit for spooky brunch yesterday as the evil twin, my friend who got the dresses was the less evil twin in white! I had to make tea sandwiches after class so I was rushed and didn't do the dramatic makeup I was going for, and couldn't find the best wig or socks or shoes to match either. I actually wore flats to drive in because I drove approximately a million miles yesterday.
This dress is pretty comfortable and well-made all things considered, fully lined, thick appropriate fabric, beautiful sparkly red button accents everywhere, dripping jewel blood drops on the hat. The gloves were kinda cheap looking in comparison, just flimsy costume satin with overly pointed tips (I guess to accommodate long finger nails or look extra creepy?), but could be worse.

I ordered a size large since the medium seemed like it would be a little tight around my waist and there is no shirring or elastic and I didn’t want to pop a button off bending over. Every time I ordered a Chinese size large, it either fit or was a little snug. Of course, this time a size large is too large!!! Hells bells! You can tell the shoulders are at least 2 inches too wide, and the fit around the bust and waist is about an inch too loose, not as fitted as I would have liked. So I cinched the back with a little waist strap to give it some waist definition, but as you can imagine, when I bent over, I did pop off a back button. Hells bells again! I think if I ever wear this again, I'll run a machine stitch to tighten the armscye and maybe make the shoulders less wide. But I can't do much about the torso area, so I'll just leave it as is.
Happy Halloween to all, I hope all of you fashionistas had a safe and healthy and fun night, even if you're just at home doing self-care!
