egl_archiveI finally finished my first real lolita outfit (the Alice In Wonderland one didn't count since it's cosplay). I made it in like 2 days. I wore it on the first day of school (last tuesday) but only just got it photographed. When I looked at myself in the mirror with it on for the first time I was just floored. I think it looks really btssb or Angelic Pretty.
I started with a long (down to the ankles) full skirt with a blue rose pattern on it that I got at goodwill. I shortened it to a little bit above my knees, added alot of lace and ribbons. I took the extra skirt material I had cut off of it and made it it into a headress and choker. I also made sock garters (which took forever, because I had to hand sew them), a really great tulle pettiecoat (with no pattern w00t!). I bought the armwarmers from a shop on South Stree Philly (I added blue ribbons to them), and the shirt I got from Kohls. I also wore a pair of really cute pettiepants.
there are 12 more pictures under the cut (we had taken 40 total, so I pared it down alot)

Date: 2003-09-06 01:32 pm (UTC)We had a mock School Meeting (how we decided things) to show the new students how School Meeting worked. One of the mock proposals was to make my lolli outfit the school dress code, needless to say it was evenatually dropped by the meeting. Not before we got Joe one of the staff memebers to model the headdress lol!

I wish I could get lucky at the thriftstore, here all the stuff is semimodern and that makes it hard to find eglable stuff...
Outstanding!
