spuntino: thanks. makes me a little less worried about internet shopping.

rozsi: surprise!

Oh GAWD. WHY!? crying You know, I'm forever in your debt right? XD

Thank you.

@Vertfonce: Like I said...it fits, but I feel really constricted! It's like I can't breath, and it's soooo uncomfortable.

xD I never really liked Bodyline besides their underwear stuff. I'd only get bloomers and petticoats but that's just about it.

yeeeeah, I never liked their stuff either in the first place.
I was like, "oh hey, free shipping until the 31st. I could use some white shoes. Right on!" and then I was like, "WTF man?!? I can see my toes!"

I thought about getting a one piece too, but there's just something wrong about their items and it's not even the knock off stuff. Like that dress that won the last design contest - I would have bought that in white in a heart beat if it wasn't for the random cat print on the front.

Tsuyoki-chan: Ha! He really is. One of the best. No doubt.

Rozsi: Because I've been holding on to like three of them since they came out. Don't worry about it. They're just pixels, lol. You're welcome.

Hello, I'm Scarlet; this is my first post here.
I've always been a fan of Lolita fashion since I was young actually, the frills are my weakness. Following the lifestyle though was not really something I was that much into but after much denial I've decided that it would be fun to be Lolita once in a while.

And so it leads me to my next dilemma, I've decided to make my first Lolita dress.
Skirts I've done before so on the dress I'll be getting help. however the pattern is in Japanese

is there anyone here who can translate the pattern's instructions for me?
I can read some of it like the 'skirt' bit but that's about it.
if you can please get back to me via comment please <33

In case you're curious the dress is for a Guro-Lolita outfit.
I seem to really like the broken doll look <33

Nice to meet you <3

Oh, girls, I've been meaning to ask, how often do you recycle outfits? Or are some of you the wear once, resell type of girls?

I'm somewhat of a resell type of loli. Normally, when a new collection comes out, I'll buy 1 JSK and 1 Skirt (or at least try to, haven't been able to lately with my hours being cut...). I'll wear the JSK and skirt a few times, but I get more variety out of the skirt, so I often resell the JSK later and keep the skirt for myself. I never sell my basics either, so I have a whole bunch of blouses/socks/alice bows to switch around with.

o_o Yeah, I love it too. XD

[Caramella Tea]

lol. I hate Angelic Pretty and their amazing, but equally expensive prints. DD: But at the same time I love them!

300+ dollars is so much to spend though on a dress. D: Maybe that's why I don't really have lolita clothes. >_>; lol.

[Rozsi]

Oh, jeez. Tell me. XD I got into sweet right as my hours got cut. It's so hard to keep up with all these releases coming out month after month. Luckily, my job pays well, or else, I'd be in debt (for clothes, no less).

It's hard in the beginning, when you don't have much, since you have to build your wardrobe, but it gets so much more easier after you've built a steady closet. My goal is to buy at least one brand piece a month, and I definitely budget heavy. I buy all my food at the beginning of the month so I don't have to buy food during lunch time, plan my route (to save on gas), yeah, it's a pain. Then there are extra-curricular activities outside of lolita that I have to budget for as well...like I'm going to Anime USA in November...so I don't think I'll be able to buy any lolita that month. sweatdrop

[Caramella Tea]

Yeah. I'm starting at Gamestop, and I don't know what my paychecks are gonna look like. Since I'm still in highschool and like 7 hours of my day are already taken with that, I predict not so well. XD;

I'm thinking of maybe starting with smaller things before jsks and such. X.x; I'm not sure where to begin though! DX I've got like 4 dream jsks including the Star Night Theater. XD

[Rozsi]

I keep asking myself when I'm going to get famous, so I can live in lala-land with all my wonderful lolita. rofl

Also, maybe, as the sweets boom draws closer to the end, things'll get alot cheaper? I know, that when I first started, Baby still shipped over seas, but it was hard as hell to get things from them because they always sold out within minutes. Now, I can pop in maybe a few hours to a day later, and I can still reserve an item.

[Caramella Tea]

That's what I keep wishing. XD I'm just not sure which way I wanna get famous, I'd love to be a fashion Designer, but I'd also love to be like 5 other things. XD

Hopefully. I'd love for that to happen.

I just need a photographer for a boyfriend, and I think I'm all set. Being a scene queen would definitely rack up some dough. I mean, have you seen Audrey Kitching, she'd be perfect in lolita. Dx At least she doesn't look like 99% of the scene...scene(?) with a dead looking rat on her head. I want to see her in OTT Sweet! She can easily be a Spank! model.
