I'm not sure if this fits in with the theme or not, since she's not a lolita or related to lolita in any way, but rather an artist who inspires me.

Ive been given the all clear to redo my room in Gothic Lolita style (My mum is really excited about this haha)
So I was wondering if anyone has some good reference pictures of old Victorian or PROPER Gothic rooms (none of these mall goth rooms please).
Also has anyone bought from these store they have nearly everything I need for my room.

I'd like to know the measurements for this skirt if possible. (And as soon as possible! I'm looking at buying it tomorrow.)

http://www.angelicpretty.com/shopping/item/sk/102s-1327/102s-1327.htm

As you can see the measurements are, for some reason, not showing up on the website. It's a pretty old skirt though so I figure someone here must have it.

If anyone knows the bust measurement of the top too that would be awesome.

Looking at APs similarly styled skirts they seem to go from 66cm to 78cm, so it's impossible to guess. (;o; )
I also searched memories and nothing came up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone! It's my first time posting on EGL, and I was just curious about the meaining of Juliette et Justine's name. I was reading about the Marquis de Sade's novel (who is the namesake for the term sadism!) and I noticed that of the novels he had written one was named Juliette and another was named Justine. I was just wonderrringgg if you lot thought that that might have something to do with it? Unless in the "About Juliette" part of the website they detailed why they chose that name, and I'm totally off.

Anyway, thanks for reading! 

I read that most Lolitas in Japan knew nothing of the origin's of the word 'Lolita' until the book by Nabokov was mentioned as a suggested read in a Gothic & Lolita Bible. So my question is...

In which Gothic & Lolita Bible was Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita" listed as a suggested read? And what year did that issue come out?

Here's my contribution to this month's theme!

This fits more with the "Go big or go Home" theme, but I figured you ladies would appreciate it anyway!

I was wondering if anyone had the original versions of these photos, and if perhaps they had detailed pictures of the dress, or pictures of someone wearing it. Thanks.
