This is great! So adorable. Did you use a pattern for the skirt?

Hi and thank you so much! I'm so happy right now:). I didn't use a pattern for the skirt. Instead, I just took three yards of fabric and gathered it to fit my 27 inch waist for a basic gathered skirt. For the waist band, I folded over 4 inch wide fabric that was my waist circumference in length plus seam allowance. The bottom ruffles are about 5 inches wide and 6 yards long (I hate them so much-_-). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

What a cute cherry coord! The pattern is so cute and the bow on the back of the skirt is a nice touch! Did you also make the blouse in addition to the skirt, blouse, and rosette?

Unfortunately, I was too scared to make a blouse, so I found one at my thrift store and altered it by adding a black bow, cutting out the sleeves, making a gathered sleeve from extra fabric I had, took in the side seams, clipped the edges of the collar and added eyelet lace to fit the Lolita aesthetic, and because the blouse already had a bib-like front, I took in the ruffles by using tucks. With my next coord, I'm just going to make the blouse since altering this one was almost like making it from scratch!

Also, i really want to thank you for your compliment. At first, I thought everyone hated it, but being the ditsy person I am, I forgot to screen comments. But I am learning!

That is some nice detail work on the blouse! I like the fabric you used for the skirt too, and the ribbon matches perfectly!
