This is what I needed, guys. My kick in the pants. This is the little birdie being kicked from the nest, out to fly on her own or crash and die.
~THE PETTICOAT~
After years of research, I concluded that my first piece *HAD* to be a PETTICOAT. I scoured the FYeahLolita Blog for Petticoat tips, and beloved Caro-chan recommended the Lace Petticoat and the Fluffy Petticoat. Both of these are available at VIVCORE's Home>Boudoir>Petticoat section.
Interested in the A-line before the cupcake, I ordered the White/Regular Lace Petticoat for 49 USD. (Worry not, I am going to buy the Fluffy Petticoat in a little while!)
6/30: Placed order
7/1: Order confirmed
7/8: Order shipped
7/12: Estimated arrival date
7/15: Actual arrival date
I was a little frustrated at the fact that it took one week to put something that was *in stock*, not created, into the postal system. I was also a little frustrated that although it supposedly left the sorting facility in Anchorage on the 12th, I in fact was not able to get my sweaty little hands on the petticoat until the afternoon of the 15th.
HOWEVER, despite my irritations, I was *supremely pleased* with my petticoat once it arrived.

IT'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE!!
The petti is more than I hoped for, and certainly wonderful, considering what price I shelled out for it. The bag came in perfect condition, the petti itself was wrapped carefully in a plastic bag and drowned in thick, clear packing tape. The chiffon is uber soft, begging to be touched.. The lace is pretty (albeit not luxurious; it fulfills it's duty and I love it!) and well-attached. I chopped off a few loose threads.
One sad thing, as I was removing the tag, I cut some of the seams and quickly repaired it with my sewing machine. Only bad thing: my machine was threaded with BLACK! My beautiful, pure white petti now has a tiny black seam, about an inch and a half long. XD Silly, silly Dolly. Silly me.
Let's do a walkthrough!
The package was gorge! Manatee really was pleased with the packaging.
Peekaboo! Looks like it was packaged really tightly!
The petticoat in its plastic protective shield!
The petticoat out of its shield!
Malco Modes 580 -- A thing of beauty! ;D
Pretty pretty lace..
Juicy waistband! It fit past my 100+ cm butt to fit snugly to my 75 cm waist. Very strong and stretchy.
A button, put there to make sure you can fit it past a curvy, bloomer-covered butt. XD
Ta-da! A front and side view of the A-line it makes. This is right out of the package, before I had the chance to hang it and let it poof out a bit. The length is excellent, right above my knees.
Hung it up and took a shower to let the steam loosen up some of the soft wrinkles at the bottom.
Surprise surprise! Didn't notice this treasure until I was ready to throw away the bag. Vivien was nice enough to pack in a little bag of Rose Tea!! <4 <4 Ah, she's a lady after my heart. Thanks Viv!
To Conclude:
Shipping: 4/5
Living in Alaska means shipping will be a hassle, things will always take longer to get here. Nevertheless, it took a week to pack ONE ITEM that was IN STOCK into a bag. However, the little surprise tea bag helped make up for the time it took, as well as the high-quality item! <4 Very lovelyl!
Item: 5/5!!
I wish I could give it more points. It's comfortable, soft, stretchy, and has two layers of wonderful chiffon trimmed in a pretty, floral lace. It's everything I wanted and MORE, because I know my investment will last a long time :)
Would I order from VIVCORE again?:
Abso-fucking-lutely. I plan to buy the Fluffy Petticoat next month. VIVCORE did an amazing job getting the product to me for around 54 USD including shipping.
