Thanks a lot for the info. I'm a 20/22 in US sizes. I'm trying to get into a workout routine to tone up and get rid of a lot of my..fat. xD Just to put it into perspective. xD
Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions, I will look at the sites. I've been wanting a Lolita dress for a long time, especially with Halloween coming up, I could wear one, feel great, and not get a ton of stares. x.x I'm not good when people stare at me.
Anyone here wear them on a regular basis? Do people stare?
If you are planning on losing a bit of weight, maybe you can look into getting something custom made. I'd suggest looking at Lady Sloth if you like gothic or classic styles. I have her Clock Jsk and it's extremely flattering, beautifully made, and fits like a glove. It was only $70 after shipping too. OoJia on Facebook also does custom stuff. Even if you don't want to go the route of replicas, she can make non-print original design dresses to your specifications and it's not too expensive to commission her either.
smile That way you can get a few items to wear and not worry too much about fit! :3
I wish I could wear Lolita on a regular basis, but my husband thinks it's cosplay (probably because I often like to wear OTT sweet, but he swears it's cosplay even when I just wear a simple skirt without a petticoat. I also work full time and have to wear a uniform. So I only have a little time each week, and sadly my stuff stays in the closet unless I'm going out with a friend and wearing casual or going to a meetup or convention. ;_;
But when I do go out with it,l I often do get stares. Most reactions I've gotten however have been either neutral or positive. Then again, I've only been doing this since June of this year.
