Kidsyoyo Violin Coat Set Review

Kidsyoyo Violin Coat Set Review

Last year, well, in 2009, I couldn't make up my mind about whether or not to order this set. I went back and forth and eventually missed the order deadline. This year I went back and forth again, but decided to go for it. The thing is, I fell in love with it and could totally see myself in it, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money on a coat that I wouldn't be wearing on a day-to-day basis; only with Lolita. But I decided to get it, because it'll be a coat I can have for many years, hopefully, and I really wanted a coat that wasn't black.

So I placed an order for this set at Quiteland on the 27/9-10 and paid for it on the 01/10-10. It was sent on the 02/12-10 and finally it was in my hands on the 20/12-10 after almost two weeks in customs.

Altogether with shipping, it added up to 3.285 HKD (2.350DKK) which is actually not that different from the prices in the shops around here for a similar quality coat. I have a black coat which also has embroidery and it was actually a bit more if I remember correctly. What I am trying to point out is that the price is fair.

Quiteland:

I've ordered from Quiteland several times before without any problems and this time was no different. Albeit I had actually decided to avoid using them again due to their inflated prices, this set was only available through them.

But all in all, it was a smooth transaction.

5/5

The coat:

I love it. I have absolutely no complaints. The whole set is so beautifully made. It fits exactly as it should, it's so elegant and I'm over the moon about it!

The only thing I will say is that it looks a bit, I don't know, flat and sad with non-Lolita clothes. I'll definitely only be wearing it over Lolita skirts and dresses, so the skirt part of the coat flares out.

The embroidery:

Gorgeous! Again well made and non fraying.

Sleeve detail:

Very elegant.

The pockets:

Very cute bow. They are actually real pockets, you just have to remove a thread to open them.

Collar:

Back:

The cape:

The faux fur is so soft and it is also detachable. The collar has small buttons on the inside, so you can wear the fur collar without the cape.

Details.

The muff:

Adorable, no? It's nice and warm too, hehe.

Strap detail.

I hadn't realized it also had a pocket when I ordered it, so that came as a surprise. It seems small, but I was actually able to fit my phone, keys, creditcard and compact camera in there with a bit of room to spare.

The lining - so comfy.

The hat:

It has so many nice little details.

The violin is detachable.

The full set:

That was that. Obviously, no complaints. Everything is just so luxurious and I'm really looking forward to wearing it again. I've only had the opportunity once.

Everything is fully lined by the way.

5/5
