Well in the course of 4 days, I have accomplished making my first ever lolita dress...es. Yes, I made two. They aren't totally fabulous, they sure as hell ain't no Baby The Stars Shine Bright [big Japanese lolita fashion company] , but I feel accomplished and proud I got them finished in the time that I did and their turnout.

I bought supplies, but upon buying and using them, I found out I was very limited. I had to change a lot of ideas on the dresses and only turned out about 80% of what I imagined, but it's alright. I used cheap material, cheap lace... so, of course, it's not stunning

My first dress I made, which is more thick and durable is this red one. I name the dress "Winter Rose". I was going to make a small poncho/over coat, but I ran out of lace, so until then, it shall not have one.

Bodice/Waist detail

Headdress

The second one I made, which took a longer amount of time and made me mad on several occasions, is this black and white one. Less durable, not double skirt, not bodice. It's a one-layer-majesty. Which was a stupid thing to do. I should have doubled it, but it was from a different pattern from the first dress. I seriously don't have a name for it sooo. -stares at it for a while- Well... Even though it's a color name, and my cat's name, It's name will be "Grey" because you mix black and white, voile, grey. And also, my cat kept bothering me while I made the dress. :>

And with both of these dresses I have petticoats to wear under the skirt. I have to sew one of my petticoats though, because one of my friends ripped it. e_o But.. that's that. My dresses~

AND TODAY. I got Suna-Chan to model my lurvely Winter Rose dress. I did her hair and make-up and her hair is just... so much fun. I also did the photography and light enhancing.

I have a few more, but these are just a few pictures we fixed up tonight. I'll be working on a cosplay soon, and hopefully my lavender/white lolita dress and a custom one for Suna-Chan and a few others, along with more crowns and headdresses. Which, by the way, this is the only crown I've made so far, by hand.. no wire cutters [bleh!]

I have one picture of my black dress along with my myspace default pic, but none like this yet.
Thanks you guys!

Mak these dresses are awesome! If I didn't know I'm a boy, I'd say I'd want you to make me one right here RIGHT NOW!!1

Suna-chan, you totally need to get your hands on one of these dresses, but don't steal it! I know it's tempting but ... that'd be bad ^^;
