An interesting comparison of egl styles...

Pic taken this wknd at Jacon:




If I'm not mistaken, theda_bara (in black) got every bit of her outfit (from shoes to wig) from Japan. calistrisa (in pink) got the dress from Japan, bought the wig, tights, & shoes locally, & added the laces to the shoes & made the headpiece herself. Me (in green)... well, I paid about $1.50 for an old girl's dress at a thrift store (which I easily converted into the skirt) then made the top & arm-warmers out of scraps of fabric from the dress, a $.05 t-shirt, less than $1 worth of embroidery floss, & a $2.99 iron-on patch (in the middle of the cross). Everything else was bought at a thrift store previously (and I need to invest in white shoes, obviously ;P ).

A couple more pix (including some of a different egl-esque thrifted skirt & crinolines) are posted in blitzkids.

Just thought I'd post this picture I drew recently. It's sort of EGL-ish/Lolita. I like it.. except she looks a little like a frog

This is my first post... ((nervous)) in any case, I'm Angela. Not very daring fashion-wise (working on it!) but I do love EGL and the Lolita look. ((bows)) Be nice to me?
Anyway, two things: first, does anyone know a place online where I could find scans or pics by Mihara Mitsukaz? He's the artist who did the work in the G+L Bibles. Second, gothic/lolita clothing is *expensive*! Is there anyone in North America who does custom work like that? I'd do it myself, but I have yet to learn how to sew :P.
