A few quick questions I can't find the answers to...

[nova-missy.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I've been researching Lolita for a few years now and have finally decided that I'm going to act on this and become one. I've managed to make a few dresses and skirts but what's really pushing me is finally wanting to make a petticoat and some bloomers -- Canadian weather pushing me into doing what I've always wanted. So I have a few questions regarding:

1) Is there a set length for bloomers or what would anyone suggest as being a really great length for bloomers if there is no standard length?
2) Your favourite/best petticoats, whether bought or made, what are they made of?
3) Do any DIY lolitas have any tips for making these items fancier?

I suppose those are my only questions. I would love as many answers as anyone could give, or even pics of inspiration or links to tutorials that you've used and love. Anything would be helpful! Thank you all so much in advance! (and if this type of post isn't allowed, I'm soo sorry -- I'll delete it)
