Warning: A little long. C:

Okay, I had a little altercation at school today that involved me wearing lolita, and I want some opinions on this. Please read carefully so that you understand.

Last year I bought Twinkle Journey in black, my absolute dream dress and not cheap or easy to find. It still has the tags and I never found the opportunity to wear it. A lot has changed, primarily that I'm healthier now, and to my dismay, I found the dress no longer fits my bust. I thought about getting it altered, but even then there's no guarantee it will look good or that I will be able to realistically wear it more than once a month. I'm just typically a much more toned down Lolita.

So how do you know when it's time to move on from a favorite piece? How long do you wait before letting something go? It's been a year, I've never worn it and without alterations I never will. Have you ever regretted selling something? Or felt better once it was gone? I adore this dress so much and I feel so sad to part with it, but I hate having something that also reminds me of where I was and where I am now with my body.

Hello, I'm wondering what's the max alterations JetJ is able to make. I'm interested in one dress, but I'm not sure how they can help me, so please share some experience with me! ^__^

Hello to all,
I'd like to know if this skirt can fit my 72 cm waist since has also a partial shirring and i'm not sure if that 70 is aproximative and with the shirring can be extended over 70 cm.

Okay, I know lolita is originated from Japan and the story goes on... So, I am going to move to Japan in 2 years the later and I wanted to ask, do guys there find lolita style attractive? Are they interested in girls in lolita? Sorry if it's a wierd/stupid question but I was wondering a lot.

I wish there was no age limit for certain clothing styles in society but unfortunately there is and it seems that it isn't easy to change. For example: people are sometimes negatively looked on by their bosses because of the lolita clothing they wear in their free time, and in tv programs like 'snog, marry or avoid' it is clear that most people think alternative fashions are extremely childish, whether it is gothic, punk or lolita.
Even though I agree that you can only change the opinion of society by actively advocating the fashion you like by wearing it and 'acting normal', I also can't help but kind of agree.( here's whyCollapse )
What is your opinion on this? When do you think someone is too old for:
- sweet lolita
- gothic lolita
-classic lolita?
I think classic is the only thing that can be worn almost a lifetime, but only when it is toned down
thanks in advance if you reply.

Hey everyone!
I've never posted on EGL before, but a couple of friends of mine suggested posting a video I did of our adventures around Osaka on the weekend, eating 15th Anniversary Innocent World Pies and buying goods from Ahcahcum-Muchacha.
I hope you enjoy!

(Please note: This is my first ever video, so go easy on me please! Also, the ending was cut off by about 5 seconds and I'm not sure why. Will try to fix it but this will do in the meantime.)

I'm a little late in posting these photos, but I wanted to share a few snaps from a twinning themed meet the Austin, TX community had in April. For a... loose value of "twin" I guess. ^_^;; We had to work with what we had (and we had a few twins who couldn't make it at the last minute). We had a great time and a new friend, Glenn took some great shots!

( Here's some favorites!Collapse )

I've been toying with the idea of designing an Adam Ant print OP because I adore the idea but I didn't know if others would think it was too unrelated and not lolita enough. To give you a rough image in your head, think of the Juliette et Justine print dresses, it would be that kind of thing :)

Does anyone know where I can get size 26 cm shoes? Bodyline barely has any in the right size and its all crazy colors.
Clobba does it but the process is so complicated. Should I just suck it up and go to Payless and wear flats?


(Sorry about first post btw.)

I found the theme interesting because my personal Lolita style seems to be all about 'Rule' breaking.
I don't wear petti skirt... and don't plan too. This, which I have come to find to be the biggest 'rule' there is.
I also have worn my Cat ears and cosplayed in my Lolita outfits.

But I'm still pretty new to Lolita I'm most likely breaking a bunch of others as well.
I hope that is not getting me off on the wrong foot here >_<;

We are still accepting applications to model in the Colossalcon Lolita Fashion Show! The convention is in Sandusky, OH at the Kalahari Resort from June 6th through the 9th. The show will likely be on Friday evening in Main Events 3 and last for an hour. We'll be emailing all the participants with more information before the show. Applications close on May 22nd (Wednesday) at 11:39PM EST so if you'll be at the con and would like to model, apply today!! The application can be found here. Thanks!!

I've been building up a Bodyline order for some time now; shoes, some wigs, a couple of  dresses. You know the usual. So I sum up my order on Wednesday (payday) and it's around 220 US dollars including the 10 dollar postage and then leave town for a couple of days to take care of a family matter with the intention of placing my order when I got back.

Well I'm back and my order has skyrocketed to 1839247909 U.S dollars. My cart still has the same number of items in it but whenever I try to click into my cart I get taken to an Internal Error page.

This happening to anyone else?

For those of you girls who wear BJD tights and tattoo tights... Do you wear socks with them? I recently got a few pairs and I just don't know. Many people ask me if they're real tattoos and the shade of the tights is pretty close to my natural skin colour, so I was wondering if it would look off without at least ankle socks. Since they aren't that popular, I haven't seen many pictures of people wearing them yet.

(I haven't worn them with my Lolita yet precisely because I was wondering.)
