^ The only thing that makes me consider these aren't ripped off is the fact the OTONLG dresses used a different (and cheaper looking) fabric. These dress uses the exact same fabric, the stitching and pattern looks identical to the Alice and the pirates dress. Literally the only thing that looks different is the fact it's shorter and that's really easy to do (I can do it and I'm a novice sew-er with my 200 dollar machine
) Mizuki/Haruna/Eripon/Sayumi's outfits only have the skirt with a separate top and the skirt alone was also a part of the AaTP brand too. I don't think it's a rip off. Those dresses are a drop in the bucket for UFA, really.
(Why do we keep thinking UFA is broke as jokes?
)
Edit: I just looked really closely at the lacing at the top. One of the things that a Livejournal I follow (called Lolita Confessions
) taught me was that Lolita brands use either really high quality lace or custom lace (BTsSB uses lace with their brand name sewn in, I'm pretty sure Angelic Pretty does too?) so the lacing looks nongeneric and is unique looking, the dresses MM wears have what looks like the same lace as the black and white dress. I'm gonna need to see the video in 1080p to confirm, but I'm pretty sure those are the same dresses...
