| Hello here! I was wondering if somebody has the Catherine Dress fron Innocent World in size M? I have the exact measures listed and I'm worried it would be too tight. Not sure if the size chart is 100% accurate. Thank you in advance <3 Link to the dress: http://innocent-w.jp/onlineshop/en/_19ss_182602.html | |

| hello everyone.
I recently purchased the ap jewelry OP in blue(pastel) and the pink ruffle skirt version.
now I can easily coordinate a sweet look or bittersweet even BUT I was wondering can I coordinate them in a ''classic'' way?
has anyone tried this? or has anyone have ideas how to achieve a more ''classic'' look?
thanks in advance. | |

| Hello,
I was looking for the old essay from 1982 Princesses Love Being Mean by Takemoto Novala that someone had translated a long time ago on here. I’m not sure where else to ask since this is a very lolita specific author and the last time someone shared the essay it was on EGL. It seems to have been included in an old list of translated lolita essays but is now broken. So I was wondering if anyone had archived or saved it. If not, that’s a real shame and a loss for the literature and history aspect of this community. Thank you so much for the help! | |

Hey, kinda late to the party but welcome to my 2019's wardrobe post! This is my first year posting so please bear with me. I didn't expected that photographing and editing photos would take so much time, next year I'll probably start taking photos earlier as I only have Sundays free. Anyways, one of my 2019's goals is "getting things done", so even if it's late, there we go! ( come with me~Collapse ) | |

| Hello. I am very new to Lolita and this is my first post (was lurking in the community for a while drooling over the dresses, haha) and recently I've gotten a JSK to start off. I knew about bodyline being cheap and affordable (I can't get brand dresses, since I am on a limited budget), so I've picked a JSK that I really liked (which is L587). The thing is, the JSK only came in medium and up and I fear it is too big on me as I'm 150cm (4'11 in the US, I believe). I saw other dresses that look very similar (just different prints used) and they go just above the knee on models that are 16cm above my height which makes me believe that this is too big on me and goes way below my knee. Is there any way to resize a dress that is too big on you? Such as altering the straps, etc. I have no experience in sewing and wanted to ask if anyone has tips on how to shorten dresses. Thank you! | |

This year's post is embarrassingly late and incomplete, but it's here! (see it on my blog) | |

Hello! I’ve been looking forward to making another one of these, but of course I left things until the end of the month again. In terms of main pieces, my wardrobe hasn’t grown too much since my last post since I sold several things. Stylewise, I’ve also mostly stuck to collecting VM and dark/muted solids. But I was able to round things out a lot by focusing more heavily on blouses and accessories, so I’m much happier with it than I was a year ago. Plus I managed to get a few dream/wishlist items, so that helps! If you are interested in seeing particular pieces worn, my handle for posting coords is @ordovicienne. | |

|  Hello! This is my third wardrobe post! Previous years: 2018 | 2017I simultaneously participated in @thefabledfawn's #eglwardrobechallenge on Instagram. While it initially sounds like a lot more work, it actually helped break down the enormous task of photographing every item I have into smaller, more manageable parts over multiple days, so I'm actually showing a lot more things that I had before but did not photograph. Background: I have been interested in lolita since 2001 and finally got the means and motivation to start building a wardrobe in 2013. I primarily wear more mature sweet and classic leaning styles with dark color bases (black, brown, and red especially) but I like to try lots of different things, so there are a wide variety of colors and motifs sprinkled throughout. I have organized the items by type and roughly by color. Names in italicized text are new for this year. I frequently enter my historical detective work on Metamorphose items into Lolibrary, so I did the nerdy thing and linked the entries for many items that had them.

| Hi! Here's my annual wardrobe post. :D I decided to only take pictures of my strictly lolita brand and wearable items (no novelty items), since I have a lot of handmade/offbrand/other jfashion brand items (mainly accessories) and including them all would make photographing everything quite impossible. I'm very sorry for the sometimes blurry or grayish pictures, it's really hard to take pictures in January, since there isn't much natural light outside. ( Click click!Collapse )
Thank you for watching!

| Welcome to my wardrobe and apologies in advance for the wide variety of outdoor lighting and reflections. My style seems to have become a little of everything, despite my insistence that I'm still a gothic lolita who dabbles in sweet and classic.  ( Main pieces and selected blouses below the cut!Collapse )Like most people, I've moved to Instagram for daily outfits and general online interactions, but it's still nice to see wardrobe post month on egl. This year I'm going to be trying, as always, to part with the things that I don't wear as often or have fallen out of love with, and acquire items to coordinate the dresses and skirts I do want to wear in more different ways. | |

| Hi Everyone,
I used to be a fairly active poster and follower of the community, but a fell off a few years ago so I'm looking for an update on how things are done with buying and selling.I bought so many pieces way back when and never wore them so I'm selling the majority of my "collection" - mostly Baby and Angelic Pretty pieces. It looks like egl_comm_sales is no longer active. Are most people using Lacemarket now or is that no longer a thing?
Thank you in advance for your advice! | |

|  Its been three years since I last participated in a wardrobe post, so long that I forgot how much work this was to put together. It took me way to long, just to figure out my password, log in and remember how to log a post, let alone the month it took to take and edit the photos. That being said, I am glad I took the time to do it and it's nice to be able to post this and look back at my previous wardrobe posts. If you would like to see the comparison, my 2016 wardrobe is here, my 2015 wardrobe is here, my 2014 wardrobe post is here, and my 2013 wardrobe post is here. I have spent the last three years, being busy as new mum. My wardrobe took a back seat to my baby boy and now that he is a little older I am able to start slowly getting back into some of my hobbies again. I hope you enjoy a walk through my wardrobe  ( Wardrobe post, right this way....Collapse ) | |
