Lolita Fashion

@SarcasticDesire Thank you! The comm I'm in is actually really nice and I made some friends in it. ^-^ And you have Vampire Requiem! Although I'm a sweet lolita, Vampire Requiem in lavender is one of my dream dresses. I wish DoL or Oo Jia made a replica of that particular colorway. It's super expensive! @Rina I can tell that dress is from Angelic Pretty (or Meta idk). I know they have a lot of strawberry prints, but what's the name of this one?

@onigoto I am not sure actually. I've always adored Lolita fashion so when I stumbled upon Harajuku Hearts while I was in San Fransisco 2 years ago, I went inside to see if I could buy some accessories. I then asked them about how sizing in Lolita works and they said it usually only came in 1 size, especially AP which is what they pretty much sold. But they showed me how a plus size girl can wear Lolita and they showed me a dress that was more elegant and this one. I picked this one cuz it seemed more fun. I think I will put it on today and take some better pictures.

@Rina It sucks that Angelic Pretty comes in one size. In recent years, their sizing has increased which is good! My Toy Parade JSK is the original release from 2007, so the sizing is sort of small (90 max bust, 78 max waist). I almost passed out wearing it lol! I lost weight since then, so it fits comfortably now. Oh, I searched up the dress on Lolibrary and it's Freshly Picked Strawberries ^-^

@onigoto Oh really? That is good to hear ^^ Actually, I feel like my bust got bigger so It feels much tighter putting on the Jumper. Here is the new and improved version!: http://a.nime.me/0048/3226/photo_on_3-16-15_at_6.19_pm_copy.jpg My face looked so bad but I tried some lolita-like-quick makeup and hair (took 30 minute to apply; no foundation, just concealer) and I am sweating so much. But here is a close up. http://a.nime.me/0048/3214/photo_on_3-16-15_at_6.20_pm_3.jpg I am sure did my makeup wrong through XP BONUS: What if (fat) Super Sonico wore this "lolita" (cuz it is a quick one) attire? http://a.nime.me/0048/3220/photo_on_3-16-15_at_6.27_pm_3.jpg Just for funnsies.

I love lolita style, but I am really limited by money. The only cheap store I know for lolita(Body Line) often has too big sizes for me too. I've only really got two kodona/ouji style outfits, and 2 dress-coats that can pass as lolita. If money wasn't an issue, I'd probably like wearing pretty much anything, but mostly kodona/ouji and gothic/elegant/sweet/sailor lolita. Punk lolita can be really cute too, but I'm more picky with it.

@Rina You look so adorable!!!~ I feel like posting myself soon, but I don't know how ^^" @Kohagura Have you checked out Fanplusfriend? It's a little more than Bodyline, but cheaper than brand and has more pieces suited for kodona/ouji. There's also some Taobao shops as well ^-^

@onigoto Oh cool, I don't remember actually. I recognize the name, but don't think I've actually browsed their shop. I will have to check it out then. I know body line only had like two sets for kodona/ouji. XD And conveniently one was in the rare small size. I remember hearing Taobao was a super cheap place to get wigs, but back when I heard of it, it was Chinese only and required a middleman to buy from. @_@

@Kohagura You can always check out Aliexpress for wigs! It has a lot of things similar to shops on Taobao for the same price and they ship directly to you without a shopping service. They usually provide free shipping as well! The only thing to watch out for is scams, so if you plan to order, always check out the items with the most orders and reviews plus see the feedback from the seller. It's pretty much like eBay.

Oh, I did remember trying to shop from Aliexpress since they had a lot of cosplay stuff I needed that I couldn't find on eBay, but then I realized they only accept credit cards, which I don't have. >.< I only can use PayPal.
