2023 Jewelry Classical Doll

Victorian Maiden teased this image for their new Classical Doll Long OP this week. I was very confused at first and couldn't figure out what they were referring to, but it turns out it was for a special release of Classical Doll Long OP. According to their website, it's for their 2nd anniversary since they reopened their shop. To commemorate, they released 12 colors of their classic release in their size 1 and size 2. It reminds me of the twelve dancing princesses, especially since the desciptions have the word princess in each one. i'd love to see a meetup where everyone has a different colorway to wear. WE'll definitely see some from the Japanese classic lolitas at some point. Some of the colors seem new and are hard to match up with their conventional names since they're named after gems, but I will try my best. They also came with little descriptions written by Mariko Suzuki, the editor-in-chief of Kera and GLBs. She's releasing a book called the Gothic & Lolita Dictionary which will also cover the history of the fashion. I machine translated each one and compiled them altogether.

They've been releasing this cut a lot lately and I can't be mad since they've recently expanded their size range to a Size 2. I'm happy to see them release their past stuff in their Size 2 and giving everyone a chance to get all the colors of Classical Doll. I've personally been waiting for them to release their Classical Doll Long OP again so I can get my hands on the burgundy version. I would have love to get my birth month especially since I do love Pearls but I'm too scared to wear light colors like that.

I'm still in the process of trying to match colors with past releases. I had to make up new ones at some point. (⋟﹏⋞)
