Love Lolita?

Resources:

Gaia's Official Lolita Thread
The Lolita Thread is great for quick questions and advice.

EGL on LiveJournal
For those who are a little more serious about Lolita, EGL is the place to go. It has tons of resources and links to sewing tutorials, area specific Lolita communities, and interest based communities. Please note that EGL has moderated membership. If you get turned down, keep trying. This measure was implemented due to trolls.

LolitaFashion.org
LolitaFasion.org holds basic Lolita info, Lolita on a budget, and a forum.

Lolita Handbook
Lolita basics can be found here.

Can't Stay Away from Steampunk?




Resources:

Gaia's Official Steampunk Fashion Thread
As with the Gaian Lolita thread, this is great for questions and advice.

Steamfashion on LiveJournal

Steampunk Lolita on LiveJournal*

Stores:**

Gentleman's Emporium

Fan+Friend

Clockwork Couture

*Steampunk Lolita is a Steampunk outfit, but in the Lolita silhouette, so since it's more Steampunk than Lolita, I'll categorize it as Steampunk.

**As Steampunk is so DIY, I'm compiling a list of stores that carry items that can be used in a Steampunk outfit. If you have one I don't have listed, either PM me a link or post it in the thread. :3

I'm glad to help! I love both fashions, so I thought I'd share. <3

I've not seen one in person, but there is a community on LiveJournal for Seampunk Lolita. I'll update with a link. :3

Yay! One of my favorite lines is Alice and the Pirates (I believe). I think it's a line of Baby The Stars Shine Bright.

Spot on. :3

I love AatP. I bought one of the blouses second hand off a friend. It's awesome. :3 This is one of my favorite items they have.

I'm working on one right now but I think the entire outfit is too understated.
