Seeing Double and losing my mind

 Hiyo!! Short post for today! I did lots of christmas shopping but didn't end up taking any pictures LOL. But I wanted to blog about how I made a mistake when shopping on Mercari JP, but didn't realize until today! I had the last two items of my christmas haul come in, and one of them was a dress from An. When I looked at it, I realized it looked quite familiar to the dress from Selina I got in the mail yesterday.

I was honestly kind of confused... but also not heartbroken because I really like this dress so it's nice to have two different types of necklines! That just means now I need two hibachi dinners to go to (since I wanted to wear my Selina one to hibachi.)

The crazy thing, is that not only is the lace the same, the fabric the same, but the tag placement on the inside is the same! Which is like... very interesting! I guess these two dresses both were manufactured at the same place! Which, I noted that there were a lot of gal brands who made the same clothing with the same print. MA*RS I think is more unique, but with stella, growing rich, golds infinity, etc... you could find what you needed from another brand if you looked enough.

What's also crazy is I didn't even notice this when looking at the listing photos. Looking back now (shown below, images belong to the original sellers) they're basically the same!!! I think if you're looking into older kyabajo dresses (and... probably modern day kyabajo dresses) you should keep an eye out for this! Both of these were similar prices (27 vs 30 usd), but if you see a cute one for 100, look for other brands :)

Also, both gave me the impression the skirt was a cream color, but it's like a pure white in person!
