The Petticoat   Hello everyone, I'm back with another post!! Yay!! When I first started in Lolita fashion five years ago, one of the things I thought I could get away with was a PETTICOAT!! I thought my bum looked big enough as it was ,and did not need to increase the size, and make it bigger with a petticoat. BUT little did I know that I needed a petticoat to give the dress some SHAPE. Because I'm a plus sized Lolita, I don't need an overly large and poofy petticoat. However, some lolitas wear two or even three pettis underneath on the quest for their desired look they want to achieve   One of the mistakes a lot of beginners make and often overlook is the petticoat. As I mentioned earlier, it gives the dress shape. This is important as it gives the look of the lolita aesthetic, and the iconic silhouette every one is familiar with. Beginners will often purchase a dress, minus the petti. If you're going to buy that dress you've had your eye on for ages, buy

  Lulu Hashimoto: The REAL living doll Hellooooo everyone!! Today, I'm going to talk about Lulu Hashimoto- The REAL living doll of Japan!!   Other people on the internet, for whatever reason, have taken on the title of a living doll. This goes from the clothes they wear, how they do their make up, how they furnish their house, and the plastic surgery to even look the part. However, how would you feel with me telling you that 23 year old Japanese fashion designer, Hitomi Komaki has taken it one step even further, to produce a REAL living doll. She has always loved dolls, so therefore went ahead and designed a real life one and quoted as saying, “I have always really liked dolls and for me, the epitome of cuteness is dolls,”.   Lulu and designer Komaki recently appeared on the 100th episode of "Kawaii International".    Lulu Hashimoto wears a body suit with ball joints air brushed on the suit where the "actual joint" would be on a doll.

How to buy brand on a budget and brand new   Hi all, in this blog post I want to talk about the purchasing of BRAND and INDIE BRAND and reasonably priced lolita pieces in general.   When I tell people I'm into Lolita fashion, one of the questions I get asked the most is "Isn't Lolita expensive"?, well yes, it is. However, there are ways to save and afford the fashion weather you are a seasoned lolita who has been wearing the fashion for years, or a newbie to the fashion who is still learning. So, where to start.........most people start with the internet.     INTERNET   One website I recommend for buying brand and other indie brand pieces is Lace market . Lace market is the ebay of lolita fashion and accessories. I've purchased from Lace market in the past and have not had a problem. However, be cautious, as with ebay, be cautious with internet sellers in general, and always check the feedback section to check the sellers reliability for selling
