Boarder Print Made of LACE?!

 Hello!

    Today I am going to go bananas over a few releases from the brand Jane Marple that I really enjoy. These series all share a similar style, and were released in 2010 & 2013. These items all have what might in modern EGL terms be called a "boarder print" (which is a term for items where the print wraps around the boarder near the hem of the dress or skirt.) These items are so unique and lovely to me because the boarder print is made of lace! 

    The items I'm dreaming of are: the Royal Velveteen & Alice Lace JSK and skirt (in any color), the Tea Party Lace JSK & skirt (in any color), and the Mad Tea Party OP or skirt (in black). All of these series have more items, such as the Alice Lace series - which features a long skirt, a lace tunic OP, and an apron OP. (information from Lolibrary). But the items I'm dreaming of are JSKs and Skirts!

SKIRT

Detail shot of the Tea Lace:





Mad Tea Party

    This series is baffling, because it's clearly the same lace as the Tea Party Lace series from 2010. I have two hypothesis: 1. They had leftover of the Tea Party Lace and decided to create another series with it, or 2. The Tea Party Lace was so successful that they made more of the same lace, and slightly altered it by letting it hang instead of attaching it at both the top and bottom for the new "Mad Tea Party" series.

SKIRT
Released in 2013
Colorways: black, blue, gray
Cost when first released: 28,140.00 yen / 194 dollars

JSK
Release in 2013
Colorways: black, blue, gray
Cost when first released: 39,690.00 yen / 273 dollars

That's all for now! Till next time~!
