Very lolita looking Halloween costumes

[xo-purity-ox.livejournal.com]

So I was searching around costumexpress.com when I came across these:

Cream Doll Bitter Chocolate Dress Adult Costume

Cream Doll Heart Taffy Adult Costume

Now I've seen a lot of loli-esque costumes before, but this takes the cake.

What are your thoughts? By the way the shoes are not sold on the website (I checked) but the bows are.

Stepping down as moderator and admin

[dandelion-cloud.livejournal.com]

Dear users,

Some months ago, I made a comment in my facebook status that was, though not intended so by me, understood as offensive towards a minority group.
I understand that it is not appropriate for a moderator and administrator of this community to be connected to such issues in any way, so hereby I am formally stepping down from my position and apologize for any offence taken and feelings that have been hurt by my imprudent remark.

I hope that by this step I can protect the reputation of the mod team, which explicitely militates against all forms of discrimination, whether intended or not. It was a pleasure to serve this community as a mod and admin, and I am glad to have been part of such a great team during the time being.

Help please..What should I wear with this jumper skirt?@@

[princefran.livejournal.com]

I've become a lolita recently~ Well.. I'm not really good at matching/-\ so i hope everyone can help me!!
I bought this from Closet Child while I was in Japan, this jumper skirt brand is from Angelic Pretty.
The jumper skirt is plain light blue yet very pretty so i bought it:)
It is really hard to find something to wear with this.. i found a white blouse, white and light blue socks that match this, but i have no idea for the accessories and the shoe...
Please give me some suggestion for what i should wear with this jumper skirt!!

Has anyone bought from this site?

[xcrimsonstarx.livejournal.com]

Hi all! 

So I was browsing online and found this wig site

http://enew.tmall.com/search.htm?scid=334477740&scname=wOa7qM23&checkedRange=true&queryType=cat

I love some of the wigs on there and they're reasonably priced but I'd love to know if anyone's ever bought from it and what their experiences were.  also does it require a shopping service?

Thanks in advance :-)

Re-Poofing my Petticoat (EDIT)

[mimo-chi.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share this weird thing I found out this afternoon by accident. I was wondering if anyone else knew this?

I was washing my organza petti today and then I had (without really thinking it over) tossed it into the dryer. This petti is one that I had made a bit earlier this year and, since I had not used more than 3 yards of the organza in it, it had started to loose it's poof pretty quickly. (After about 3 months or so.)

When I pulled it out of the dryer though, it looked almost as good as new. It was nearly as full as when I had first made it! I was stunned. so, I thought someone out there with a similar type of petti could use this as a quick fix for theirs in the future.

Have any of you tried this method before?

EDIT: A big thank you to Punk_Violin for adding her useful tidbits of how she does this with her tulle and organza pettis. Make sure to read her comment too!

Marie Claire UK report on Hyper Japan!

[laviefantasque.livejournal.com]

Hi! Maybe some of you remember that in February, Hyper Japan! spring edition was held in London.

Marie Claire magazine was there and interviewed some of us, and finally the issue is in stores!



There's a report with information and a brief history about Lolita fashion, as well as very nice pictures of the event and some of the girls that were interviewed.

I scanned the pages and wrote about it on my blog - so check it out ^_^ [if it doesn't work, there's an exact copy also in my LJ...]

I'm really happy to see such a nice, positive and well-done [as well as stunning looking!] report on the fashion in a big publication and I hope this will bring a positive effect to readers unfamiliar with it... it's just out so you can still buy it and show all your friends ^_~
