Where do you find the sizing info? I like some of the stuff but I do not know if I am a s or xs.

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

i don't think he has a particular sizing chart. if you go to his "about me" page and go to his actual site, all his clothing is listed in measurements only. i think you're gonna have to sieve through every one to find the size you're looking for. the measurements for the clothing are always listed in his auctions anyway, so... sorry if i wasn't any help, ha ha ha...hmm. ^___^;

[missmuffcake.livejournal.com]

Thanks. i wish the site lay-out was abit better.

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

me too. and your welcome. ^^

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

OMFG. no way. That dress.. would fit me. O_O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *squeals and flails* How much was/is it!? :O

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

that's what i said!! but the dress costs $120 USD! ack!! o_@; i'm saving up tho....

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

x__x
It's so pretty. *pout* Too bad it was going to end so soon, or i'd bug my mom for an early x-mas gift.. XD
But this gives me some hope that he/she might put up some more big sizes. :D

[koshiba-tetsuta.livejournal.com]

I don't have any EGL clothing right now and I've been thinking of buying from him. ^_^; It's pretty expensive but not expensive as most. My only problem is, I have no clue what size I am. ^^;; All I know is that I'm about 5'6" lol.

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

best way to do it is get a measuring tape and measure your actual body measurements. that way you know if it's going to fit you regardless of what the size the the tag says. here's a few sites that has a printable measuring tape in case you don't have one:

50" Meas. Tape (http://pages.ebay.com.au/sizingguide/measuretape.pdf) - this one is in .pdf so you'll need adobe acrobat reader to view the file.

i heard his clothing is suuuper cheap and a total rip off..

although it IS cute from the picture.

[koshiba-tetsuta.livejournal.com]

Well his feedback seems good.. ^^;

[jolie-laide.livejournal.com]

calistrisa and few other people posted reviews in the community. I think if you cycle back a few pages, you should find some well-written honest reviews of his items. :)

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

i've been reading the the reviews and i think i'm going to order from him. even though it's only imitation, i think it would be worth it to invest in some knock-offs ^^; it'll be as close to the brands as i'll ever get and besides...i doubt bssb, innocent world, or moi meme moitie is going to have plus size line going anytime soon in the future. ya know what i mean?

[mb2u]

At least someone recognizes that not all of us are tiny...I hate going shopping and not finding anything to wear because designers think if you are over a size 8 you do not want to look good...

[kasumi-ishida.livejournal.com]

That's so true! I mean, even if I lost a ton of weight, my bone structure just isn't that small. I'm always going to be in the large range, and I wish these stupid clothing companies could realize that. I can understand that a Japanese company wouldn't make plus sized things because there aren't many girls in Japan who are a plus size (lucky =P), but a clothing company that is catering to Americans really needs to because a lot of us are overweight and need it, sadly ^_^;; Damn those yummy unhealthy foods! ;_;

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Actually, Japan does have alot of overweight girls. They just tend to not be in the main tourist places like Tokyo. And they may have japanese plus size, but the problem is that their plus sizes are usually still really tiny. x____x;

[kasumi-ishida.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, I didn't know that :) All I'd read about Japanese fasion and sizing said otherwise @_@ But, it makes sense. But yeah, even the plus sizes here are tiny... I mean, I was trying on three pairs of pants - two size 15's and a 13, and I'm supposed to be a 13. The two pairs that were 15's didn't fit, and the 13 was too big o_O Sizing is so weird!!

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Yea.. There really needs to be one single sizing chart for the whole country, unless they're custom made.. x_x

[mb2u]

It's not even about being overweight. Notice how women are taller now? Society is moving towards the larger end of the scale, but designers still see their ideal as a size 2...Idiots

[kasumi-ishida.livejournal.com]

I haven't had too much problem with the height thing, cuz I'm kinda on the short-medium side of that ^^* But you're right, people are getting a lot taller.

[mb2u]

Getting taller, but not fast enough. I'm over six feet, and I want fabulous stuff NOW!

(somedays it is not fun to be me...)

[selainwhoami.livejournal.com]

Whoa... that dress would fit me!

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

i know!! ^__^

[theldyofshalott.livejournal.com]

*waves* *I* can make it......what is the price he's selling it for? maybe i can beat it.......or at least match it....?

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

he's selling it for around $120 USD plus shipping. i don't have any money yet, but do you have any pictures of your work? i'd reaaly like to see what you've been doing! ^__^

[theldyofshalott.livejournal.com]

the ONLY thing i have a picture of that is slightly loli is the perforated vinyl dress i did recently. my one girl friend has several items i've made her, but we have no pictures of! drat!

anyway...http://www.dancingspider.com/images/lucy7.jpg

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

oh yeah! i remember that dress! it was very 50's pin-up, i thought. like modest miss goes misfit. ^__^ how much do you charge for a commission anyway? you know the dress that's posted, how much would that be approximately?

[theldyofshalott.livejournal.com]

i like that. "modest miss goes misfit"

the charge depends on the project.

which are you referring to?

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

oh, sorry ^^; i meant the one i posted on the start of the thread.

[theldyofshalott.livejournal.com]

well, as i posted earlier -- the dress has alot of gathering and lace. however, you can choose white or black lace....as well as the color you want.

i'll do it for $115 plus shipping. if i send it priority - i might be able to get away with around $5 for shipping. although if i ship it fedex or ups..the cost will be higher. I also found out recently the further away a given address is from myself, the more postage (priority) is going to cost.

i recently sent out two packages. one was going near by -- the other was going to cali. both weighed the same. the one going near by cost $5.60. the one going to Cali? nearly $11!!

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

If you could make that dress, or one similar, that would totally rock. :o

[theldyofshalott.livejournal.com]

i can.

email me @ ladyofshallott@dancingspider.com

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

oh, well that's not too bad. i live in cali and plus i've paid waaay more for postage from some other places, believe me! U_U; wow, cool then! when i get money i'm definitely going to you to get a custom dress. ^___^ darn it, i need me a job! ^^;

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

i feel your pain. T_T;

[eurolymius.livejournal.com]

Wow, that dress wouldn't fit me, now it's too big.

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Yea, it's a bit too big for me too.. But i figure, a bit too big is better than too small? lol.

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

Wah, it would fit me... AND I have some money saved up...

But I personally think it's a little... um... *lowers voice* icky...

I wish the front pieces sloped off, instead of going straight down!

[totodedum.livejournal.com]

lol! ^__^ to each her own i say. but yeah, i see what you mean. but i still think it's pretty, nyaaa! =P =^.^=

[mmymoon.livejournal.com]

*giggles* It is pretty! Just not to wear-for-me. (Like peter pan collars... I can't wear them for some reason...)

*giggles more* Just watch though, if the accents were PINK, I'd be bidding... ;9
