It's by Lip Service. :[

Just as in the previous upsettingness-causing Hot Topic lolita dress, this one too has a dropped waist, which *doesn't* suit the style. And flatters few figures.
I like the puff sleeves, though.

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

I have a few dropwaist dresses, they're from the Sixties, though. My boyfriend isn't too fond of the style.

[raino.livejournal.com]

I'm all for sixties dropwaist dresses, they are fabulous! I have some just for the sake of collectio, even though I don't wear them.

But also the 60's low-waist dresses look mostly good on Twiggy.

i love the sixties, period <3

[leatherkngs.livejournal.com]

Their halloween costumes are wack o.O; that geisha one doesn't look anything like a geisha. More like some chinese whore XD

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

Ooo, snap! :]

It's not even a Japanese dress, it's a Chinese cheongsam.

that dress.

[mechanique.livejournal.com]

i saw that one in person and was most impressed. it has a great construction for being a hot topic exclusive, but again, overpriced. : \

[avant-gauche.livejournal.com]

if it where separates it would be so bad it would make quite a cute shirt and if the dress where slightly longer it would be acceptable and very BPN acutal it is quite BPN they way it is.

I'm not a fan of hot topic, mianly because what that call a "lolita blouse" or whatever, is just a black baby tee. They try too hard.

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

Don't you think if somebody was trying too hard they'd do a pretty good job at it? I think in this case they're not trying at all.

[sarona-otoki.livejournal.com]

I was actually referring to the rest of the store with that comment, oh well, pay no mind to me. ^^;

*Clears her throat* Actually

[avant-gauche.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of this

which is from that Homemade Gothic and Lolita book

[killpanic.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's pretty.

Not sure about the HT dress, though. Mm.

[storknightmares.livejournal.com]

off topic, but i love those shoes in the homemade bible. i would love a pair, but i have never seen them anywhere =(

:groan::

[shi-sama.livejournal.com]

Please note, before another Hot Topic/Lip Service flam war starts, that this is simply a "lolita" dress. Not sold as EGL, or Japanese Lolita dress, simply Lolita. Japan hardly owns the rights to the term Lolita.

Re: :groan::

[morcielaga.livejournal.com]

....Exactly..............
And hmmm.... i actually like the dress. Granted, its a little too short for my taste, but i love bloomers, so i wouldnt mind wearing it with some nice bloomers. Ah, and something else,this dress is far more easy to wear as opposed to froofy japan lolitaness. +raises goblet to "wearable daily" clothing.

It looks daft with the striped tights. And I'm not sure I like the waist like that... maybe if the skirt were poofier or more petticoat compatible.

[nextdoorloser.livejournal.com]

eww. oh no. i like the shoes and the way she is standing is very 'sweet lolita'. but god. does hot topic have to ruin everything? x\

[phatpaid.livejournal.com]

"does hot topic have to ruin everything?"


Yes its a secret policy to ruin anything people enjoy and make it "mainstream" and overpriced. lol

[nextdoorloser.livejournal.com]

rofl, actually i had an thought once, maybe a month ago when i saw how big the egl communities are getting and seeing all the egl sites and i thought, 'hot topic is going to get a hold of this..' and they did. and they just can't make it as good, which i think is my major problem with them.

[phatpaid.livejournal.com]

I actualyl do feel they have to make EVERYTHING "mainstream"...I miss hot topics early years...now its all bout the $$$

[ashna.livejournal.com]

I saw the lolita dress from before on somebody. It was Butt ugly. She looked horrible.
This dress is... well the sleaves are too small. The waist far too low to look right. Bet it would fit my waist but be too short in the hips.
Blah bad designing there.

[agitatorswaltz.livejournal.com]

News on the "Geisha" costumes~
Hee. XD Cori e-mailed HT about how they were incorrect about calling it a geisha, when clearly it was..clearly not a kimono. (She wasn't being an asshole, she just felt why make the masses more ignorant on Asian cultures. It'd be like calling a German Liederhosen outfit French, you dig?)
And they replied. XD They said they changed the problem, but now the outfit in question is gone! o.o And the other "geisha" is now a "purple gothic vixen".
Don't deny the power of customer service. ^_^

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

I know all you lolies are upset at the apparent mainstream spread of egl, but as shi_sama said, this is not advertised as an elegant gothic lolita dress , just a lolita dress. Besides, I think it's adorable, muahah! =X ;D BUT, who knows what's the future has in store for this current Hot Topic lolita trend.

[xelyna.livejournal.com]

I don't see how that is a costume... 'Though I think all of their so-called costumes are pretty lame, actually. I mean, they're just selling their normal clothes with like, something attached to them, or suggesting you buy a set of things. And I don't see what's so "lolita" about that dress...

[calondara.livejournal.com]

That would indeed look good with a pair of bloomers X3 I think it's quite cute :3.

[yapipie.livejournal.com]

I don't think the dress is so bad actually... I jsut don't like the way it's worn... :/

[kalhara.livejournal.com]

It's cute enough as far as the "little black dress" theme goes, but I don't think the style would be very flattering on many people, regardless of how thin they were. And though I can't tell from the pciture exactly what kind of fabric it's made out of, it doesn't appear to help the style out much. But bits of it are cute (sleeves and collar in particular). And I'm really not sure why it's in the Halloween costume section.

It's also quite nice that the "geisha" costume problem was fixed. Thank you! (to whoever)

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

I can't even find it anymore.

[h8machine.livejournal.com]

*hides in shame* I acutally bought that dress (Hey, I had money that was given as a graduation gift sitting around for 3 months). It's alot nicer than that picture shows. its got several rows of ruffles and lace at the bottom and ruffle things up the front where it buttons up. It's not that bad a quality. It's not as cheap as most of their other dresses, The lace isn't too great a quality. I snagged it on a braclet... It is too short though, and I feel uncomfortable becaue of the shortness. I'm going to by some bloomer for it though... *hides some more*

[tamajill.livejournal.com]

It scares me, because soon little Kindergoths and Poseurs will be wearing it and trying to be EGL. And not even know what it really is.
