hi guys!!
its been a while since posting and all, but the last few months, ive become deeply emersed in the fashion industry. my fashion design teacher has really been pushing me to take it on as a full career...so im thinking way ahead right now. my first line of clothing i did was a very 50's inspired foofy collection with touches of bad girl-ness (season theme being "bad girls of the 50's)
for the next season i plan on starting soon, i want to keep the foofiness in there, but i want this more EGL inspired. so, heres the questions:
1) what are your favorite brands of lolita clothing? why?
2) what are your favorite things about lolita fashion? why?
3) whats one thing you dont like about lolita fashion and what would you do to change it?
4) what's something you dont see in a lot of lolita wear but would love to see?

thats about it. if theres anything else you want to tell me, PLEASE DO!!! when i design and make clothes, i want people to adore them. i like them to be cute, comfortable, and functional.
please answer my questions! ill be forever thankful!!
