Yeah tis is me, and my first post. so, the theme is: Breaking the rules? i think tis one fits. it's to short, some of the lace is wrong, it had the BlackxWhite colors and it looks like i'm cosplaying because of the cape.

But, I felt beautiful! I got many compliments and people wanted pictures of me.
it was a fantastic day at the fantasy fair close to my place and i don't regret it ;D

you can give me tips, compliments, critics anything!
i will keep it in mind for the next time ;3

I've got a question that goes to everyone who owns or has owned the Charles Crown JSK. :(
I have fallen in love with this one, but wasn't able to get it the first time. When it came back to the page again, I heard that the re-release was significantly smaller than the first one.
Now my question is, how true to stated size does the first release run? I have a link to Lolibrary here: http://lolibrary.org/node/9589
Is that what you would say does fit? I want to have an approx. estimate how high my chances are that I could fit the dress.

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone who owns this JSK

Can tell me how that back bustle is created?  It looks like it's pinned up at the back at two locations but while there are two tie-able bows at the back, there are no overt/obvious ways to pin the skirt up.  Since the stock photos specifically indicated that the back can be pinned up for a bustled look (in conjunction with a special bustle petti to give that back bump of course), I would've thought that the JSK itself would have some kind of mechanism for that.  Sort of like how the Atelier Pierrot bustle high waist jsk's or skirts have strings to create the pull up/drape affect of the bustle skirt.

In any case, if it turns out it's just a matter of pinning it manually with safety pins, then that's fine as well.  I was just wondering if I'm missing something obvious lol.

Thank you!!

Hey artists! Don't forget to submit your lolita-themed artwork by the 25th of May if you'd like to be featured in next month's banner art contest! The full details on how to enter and what you can submit are found in this post.

Okay, I'm done with this thread.
Thank you to everyone for your support, and also thank you to those of you who disagreed. I heard a lot of sound arguments on both sides, and I feel better.
If you have anything you really want to say still, you can message me. However, I am closing this, because it seems like the longer this drags on, the more and more it becomes twisted. I keep seeing misunderstandings over and over.
So thank you everyone for your input. I'll consider it all carefully. And as always, I appreciate EGL for being unbiased, even towards their own fashion, and able to give good advice. ^^

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!

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.)
