When you are going to a bigger meet up or any event, how long before do you decide on you co-ord? Do you buy new pieces or just use your existing wardrobe?
// I'm a little bit nervous because I'm going for the La Vie en Rose (in Paris) in the end of February but I still haven't decided what to wear :'D And if I want to plan a whole new outfit I have to start to looking for the pieces, to order them otherwise they don't arrive on time. //

So no denying 2014 was a great year for lolita.

The prints were plentiful, accessories were abundant and our tea cups floweth over.

But before the year ends lets all take a moment of silence to mourn all the ones that got away.

What did everyone miss out on this year?

I know there are pages around here with clothing patterns you could use for Lolita fashion, but what about patterns for those handy with a yarn and hook and/or two needles? So I've decided to take the labor of creating a list of knitting and crochet patterns for Lolita clothes and accessories!

Found a pattern online and want to contribute? Is a link no longer working? Did you do one of these patterns and want to share your two cents or finished pictures? Let me know!

Japanese patterns translated to English divided up into numerous categories. Even contains a page explaining symbols used in the patterns

Of course you don't have to be bound by the instructions. Get creative with them! Add a different edging, glue pearls on them, experiment!
