Mirabeau style corset in black worsted wool with white mesh bust ruffles and halter strap. Busk front closure, back laced.

Pencil skirt in white satin with white and black ruffle detail.

Okay I cheated. I visited the website link.

1. I find 90% of this charming. Not especially original. Although the Pencil skirt in white satin was different.

2. My biggest grrr is the model faces away from the camera which doesn't invite the shopper or artist inside her experience. I found this odd. On the website, most models look at the camera either 100% to 25% of the time. Most of GirlTripped works invites you inside the frame.

3. My second annoyance it's in black and white and has the too busy tiger stripped background. This background steals the eyes from the outfit. I suggests color version with a solid deep cherry red background. Not sure how, GirlTripped would do this. I'm no photo shop expert. Might be simple as swapping backgrounds with a button click.
4. I found charming this tiny hat, lace stockings and corset.
5. A in-color version would rock, but not with the stripped or any stripped background.

Summary: On the whole have model make eye contact with the camera and swap out the background.

Critiques are only opinion. Take what you want toss the rest.
