I added some spiderwebs to the collar of a shirt I thirfted recently. I don't have much embroidery experience so the line work isnt fantastic but I love it.
my first brand swimsuit and an usakumya necklace i was very excited about finding!!
i was missing several of the early volumes of GLB and was able to fill in the gaps with a few of those. i've been interested in researching the history of the fashion recently so i'm constantly hunting for old magazines! i've added GLB volumes 1-4 & 6 & 49--as well as "Frill" volume 1 and the "Maison Gothic & Lolita Style" book to my media collection.
a metamorphose Alice OP (2000) that i got on auction!! the double sleeves and center buttons down to the bottom are my favorite. it didn't come with the apron, but i was lucky enough that the one from a different Alice OP, also from the year 2000... was on auction on a different platform at the same time. i bought them separately intending to pair them together! i quite prefer the style of this rounder edged apron rather than the more squared top one it's meant to go with.
this is actually the dress that made me realize the Alice OP Set on lolibrary has a long version (similar to the maid OP from 2003 mini & long or the nun style OP mini & long)--i'll have to remind myself to submit a correction for the current OP to indicate the mini variation, and to submit a new entry for the long length one if i can manage to find more information... though i had no idea of its existence until recently! from an old LM sales listing, i found that the mini length is around 88 cm, whereas this one is 125 cm. i severely underestimated the length of this and it's down to my ankles, but i suppose it'll be my first long dress ^_^

To celebrate the brand's 30th anniversary, the lolita brand BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT will hold a fashion show with ALICE and the PIRATES at the Laforet Museum in Harajuku!
When talking about the history of BABY, you can't miss the movie "Shimotsuma Monogatari" based on Nobara Takemoto. In the 2004 movie "Shimotsuma Monogatari", BABY's clothes were used as costumes for almost the entire movie. A part of it was played in this show, and many people felt nostalgic. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the nostalgic bonnet worn by the model in this photo has been revived in modern times with the Lolita boom.
One of my recents works. This piece was inspired by an image from that old 60’s documentary, “Holy Ghost People”. I took a few liberties and added the kudzu vines.
