Raine Dragon
No, it was not ever available in other sizes at any point as far as I know. I remember when it came out I thought it was a really cute print, but it didn't come in anything in my size.

Bodyline's published measurements are the flat garment measurements. It is recommended by most brands that you be a couple cm smaller than those measurements so that you have room to breathe.
So for the bodyline dress:
Bust 90cm
Waist 74cm
Model:
Bust 88
Waist 63cm
So if you bust is around 86-88cm, the dress should fit just fine in the bust.
They might have pinned in the waist on the model; they don't show you how it fits her in the back. The back views are on a dummy...
However, the dress does have waist ties, so it would be possible to cinch in the waist a bit. Someone else who is smaller would have to give an opinion about how many cm you can really pull something in with just waist ties though; I'm not sure what point it starts to look odd.
Whew. All that said, what were you looking at over at closet child?
Thanks! I hadn't thought that maybe they'd pinned the the waist in.
On closet child, I was looking at
this
I know that came in 3 sizes, although I have no idea which size that one is, but it does have corset lacing as well as lace ties. Also, if it's too big, I think a brand dress will be easier to sell on than a bodyline one that's still in stock.
It was the first dress I wanted when I got into Lolita, and I remember it came with a blouse and hair ties and the whole set cost about £80. I've been looking for it since, but for some reason I could only ever seem to find the dress being sold secondhand for more than what the whole set cost new. Except on closet child.
Special sets / lucky packs from brands where they release a new item usually sell out really quick, because they make a really limited quantity and sell them at a really low cost. So the set might have been priced at £80, but it was worth significantly more. That's why you will see it resold for higher.
Ok! So for that set on Closet Child:
Here are the published measurements from Baby, recorded over on Lolibrary.
JSK:
Bust: S 88-94 // M 91-97 // L 94-100
Waist: S 68-74 // M 71-77 // L 74-80
Length: S 88 // M 91 // L 96.5
And closet child is saying it is:
bust：約〜45cm
waist：約〜82cm
length：約96cm
So, closet child does their bust measurements flat without stretching the shirring. So that's a flat measurement of bust 90cm, waist 82cm, and they say the length is 96cm.
So that said, I'm about 75% sure that it's the size large.
Normally, I'd suggest Baby over Bodyline because the quality of the Baby dress is going to be higher, but I suspect that the Baby dress is just going to be way too big on you if you are worried that the Bodyline one might be too large.
