Wonderful World is a Kaneko-kei brand founded by Kaneko Isao in 1994.[1]
Concept
The brand concept was[2]
愛するものたちへ、野に咲く花たちへ、
優しさに満ち溢れ、語りかけるように唄われる曲。
ルイ・アームストロングの「 ワンダフルワールド 」。
その唄の想いに重ね描くようにして、金子 功が、本当に好きな服を創るために
「 ワンダフルワールド 」を発表しました。
薔薇や菫の花模様。いとおしいほどのフリルやレース。
誰もが愛したテディベア。手仕事のパッチワーク。少女のための。
綺麗な、沢山の「色」。金子 功の色遣い。幾重にも木綿を重ねて。
着るひとのすべてが、優しい気持ちになれて、楽しくて嬉しくて、綺麗にみえる服を。
金子 功の、永遠に変わることのない「 好きなものたち 」で創った
「 素晴らしき世界 」＝「 ワンダフルワールド 」から届けます。

Tips for Identifying Pieces
As always, we recommend searching Lolibrary first both by item number and by any relevant tags/features. If neither of these bring up the item, the following are some tips for researching the mystery item, though you are always welcome to ask for assistance in the Lolibrary Discord, or the EGL Research Center or What is that dress? Facebook groups as well.
