Picture request! Meta JSK
So at the Sakura Matsuri meetup the other day, we got on the topic of dream dresses, and I remembered that there was one dress that I wanted more than anything.
I'd love to see pictures of the Meta Swan Lake JSK in black - closeups of the print would be lovely as well! I'm going to indulge my urge to window shop *_*

Sporty Shoes With Lolita
Hi, I ordered some new shoes for daily wear and I am curious if they would work with lolita. Due to ankle and knee problems tea-party shoes are out of the question and RHS would not be a good idea for where I live. I ended up ordering two pairs of Skechers mary-janes.

Negative Review for HarajukuHot, and help please?
Okay, so a while ago, I asked about buying Harajuku Hot and nobody could say that they bought from they;re. I didn't want their clothes (can you say, hideous?), I wanted their really cheap black parasols. They were cheap, even with shipping, only $37.00. So I decided to go out on a limb and buy from them.
It's been over 3 months later, and I have received ZIP. Nothing. Nada. I started asking doubting them about after one month. Before, I just thought my parasol got trapped in customs, or maybe they were busy, or something, but by the time it occurred to me they had not sent out my item, it was too late to file a PayPal claim (Or so PP's site says: 30 day limit). I was too generous and forgiving, not to mention, i lost track of time because of being so busy lately.
I've sent a email to them every day for the last week asking where my item is, but still no reply. So, I pose the question: Is they're in anything I can do at this point to salvage my $37.00?
DO NOT BUY FROM HARAJUKU HOT!!!

Lolita Aprons
I do a lot of baking and I'd love to have a lolita apron to wear. Since my aprons get quite dirty I don't want a brand apron, so I'm looking for something cheaper that I wont feel bad about covering in flour and chocolate. Does anyone know of any cute offbrand aprons? I'm looking at Bodyline right now but I can't find any there. Are there any companies that make replicas of Baby or AP aprons? Photos would be great if you have any! Are there any other bakers here who like bake in frills?

question about atelier Boz
I just bought a skirt from Atelier Boz today and when I tried it on at home; it didn't fit (it was a free size, so I thought it'd be okay because I usually fit those fine) does anyone know if they accept returns?? I'd be taking it back the next day and have the receipt.
Ebay Questions lolitababy123
I was wondering if anyone had bought anything from this persons shop?
I was considering buying a coat but I'm not sure if its fake as they have pictures from different websites// but the feedback isn't bad. Has anyone bought anything from them?
Is it that they make good replicas?
The coat I liked : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WOOL-HANDMADE-GOTHIC-LOLITA-COSPLAY-COSTUME-COAT-/270563231045?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Women_s_Clothing&hash=item3efed34545#ht_8182wt_827

Anyone Planning on Going to Oneesan Fantaisies Dans le Monde de Reves?
I am considering going to the event, and I was curious to see how many people are going! I'm also unsure about conventions, and I'm a bit scared about going by myself. I don't have any local friends who are lolitas, and I frankly don't have any lolita friends at all! I'm also a total newbie so I'm just... quite unsure about going. Any suggestions/advice? Are most lolitas at cons generally agreeable and friendly, or do they hover in groups? If you're going, what styles do you plan on wearing? (casual, sweet, punk, goth, classic, etc.) Should I be this scared and nervous?!?
Help a newbie out! XD
Edit: Also, would it be weird to wear casual lolita one day? I really only have one brand outfit and its a casual Meta black/gold coord. And is steam-lolita too cosplay-y?

Found this randomly looking for something else and thought it might be interesting to someone.
How do you feel about blatant replicas? (I realise the topic has been discussed before I just felt I should post something else with the article)).
