Heya! I'm new ^^;; I'm really glad to see english lolitas here! I didn't realise there was as much interest in Japanese culture here ^-^ I've recently made my first gothic lolita dress, and I'm busy working on a new one based on a design from BOZ. I'm lookign for some new shoes atm. Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK where I would be able to buy mary janes? I'd like some high platform ones.
Here is piccy of my first dress (hope link works)

That's a cute dress! It's slightly different from EGL style, more subtle so you can wear it any ol' day. ^^

Wow, great dress! Can't wait to see more pictures. I love Atelier BOZ so much too^_^ I wish I could afford more of their clothing. but it's probably among the most expensive out there ::pouts::

aww thankyous! ^_^
I made a simpler more casual style for my first dress, the skirt design is like a dress on victorian maiden and the top half is my own design. I wasn't sure about wearing a high collar at first but I'm planning on making a new one with high collar...
I'm torn now between making another short dress and making a long elegant gothic lolita though ^^;; I bought my fabric today so if things go well I'll have it finished next week.

I love the hem of the skirt; what sort of material is that?
