I love steampunk, and one of my favorite things to see is Steampunk Lolita, art and drawings, and outfits. So a few months ago a friend of mine was throwing a steampunk loita meet up in honor of a DaVinci exibit in Baltimore. It took me a month and countless thrift shopping excursions but I made it and I made it cheap.

idealia recently hosted a swap meet/going away party for manmadememories. This is the 2nd swap meet she's hosted and the 3rd we've had in the area in the past year and a half. We had a huge turn out and it seemed like most people were quite successful. :)

Edit:  Apparently this  fabric is used by several brands.  The Jsk pictured is an early item by Angelic Pretty, the coat is by Mary Magdalene.
Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone.  I'm looking for photoposts of meet-ups or coordinates in hot weather.  Mainly, I'm trying to convince a friend that I'm not crazy for attempting a Lolita event in August when it could be in the 90s (Fahrenheit).  I'm also trying to figure out if people are still apt to go all out for a meet-up even if the weather is quite warm.  Comfort vs. making a grand impression?   (I've found posts with suggestions of how to adapt Lolita for warm weather, but what I'm looking for is pictoral evidence of what people actually wear in such circumstances.)  Any links or advice are appreciated.  Thank you!

Photoshoot: Pink Tartan Couple (A girl and her kodona)



This photoshoot was actually completed about a year ago but I didn't get in touch with my photographer until recently. So now, I am posting them!

I am an impoverished college student, so if I don't do Lolita on a budget, I don't do Lolita at all. The only time brand has ever crossed my path was when I reverently held the last Baby the Stars Shine Bright sceptor at the New York City Kinokuniya for a few precious minutes. I usually buy my Lolita clothing from Etsy, In the Starlight (may it rest in peace) or thrift stores.

In order to stretch my wardrobe, I decided to start sewing my own Lolita clothing so today I made my first skirt. I bought the material and the trim for $2.99 a yard each, and made up the pattern as I went along.
