ʚ(´꒳`)ɞ 2023 egl wardrobe post ♡.•♬✧

hellooo happy february! as always i am slightly late but better late than never :-) here is my first wardrobe post! over a year into the fashion, and i feel like i’ve settled pretty well into my style and understanding of what i like to wear, and also importantly, what i don’t like, which means - i have a LOT of things to sell, and i originally planned to put them in a section at the bottom, but i am SO tired after taking so many photos so i will just describe them i suppose. hope this post helps anyone with inspo with their own style!

(n.b. obviously, think long and hard about purchases rather than buying on a whim and not fully considering the item’s suitability for you and your lifestyle, rather than whether you liked the look of it on someone else)

also i didn't bother putting waist ties and detachable bows and whatnot on for most items because i Was Not Bothered so avert ur eyes if you don't like that!

main pieces

jsks

metamorphose temps de fille - shirring frill jsk (2009)

this one is the dream dress i never knew i had, my gateway into meta's full shirring pieces! i found it while scrolling through xianyu and i took a chance (seeing as it wasn't expensive) hoping it'd fit well and it did! the sizing and length is perfect for me and it's just such good quality, as expected of meta~

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

le carrousel - agnes jumperskirt in wine and black

when i got these i really wanted solids that would be comfortable and sturdy - le carrousel delivered (as you will see later too they are FAVOURITE indie brand for sizing and quality)!! i had to take off the detachable bows on the wine one to steam it haha

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

metamorphose temps de fille - marine border shirring jsk (2008)

i saw this by chance on xianyu Just as i was trying to get more into sailor and so i jumped on it and got this, No Regrets! i need to wear this sometime soon when it's warmer

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

metamorphose temps de fille - maring stripe jsk (2006)

my oldest item!! i got this at a swapmeet with my comm from the host and at a great price!! it's a bit greyer than the stock photo on lolibrary would indicate but it's adorable and very nice for summer!

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

ops

grove deer (chinese indie) - black chiffon solid op

saw this somewhere else so i looked for it on xianyu - very luckily i saw it in my size for like 25 pounds so that's a deal!! very glad i don't have to worry about stains or damage too much wearing this

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

metamorphose temps de fille - trump poodle embroidery short sleeve op (2008)

this is my most recent acquisition! i actually forgot entirely that i'd bidded on it until i got the email saying i'd won the auction Lmao thankfully i had the funds and i'm so happy to have this!! especially since i love meta and i love red, and am trying to get more red in my wardrobe. the bodice is a bit short and tight tho so i might get it altered into a skirt? we shall see hehe

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

skirts

tanaka l/haciooji (chinese indie) - teddy gobelin suspender skirt

i had this saved on my taobao for a while but the shorter length i wanted sold out by the time i was ready to buy :,) however i actually really like this length too, it's super proto! the teddies are a bit wonky but that's ok

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

le carrousel - cathedral stained glass skirt

i ADORE stained glass prints!!! i was so excited when i saw le carrousel made these and i got it with my first order from them!! i really wanna get more into classic gothic (gossic?) and it makes me feel more cool than i am lol

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

chinese indie - ribbon lace skirt in black, white, sax

i've been in desperate need of sturdy solids so i searched high and low, and found this listing on tb! they did custom waist which i was so excited about and they accepted my request to do sax! i got a pink one too but i think they used the wrong shade for that one :,( anyway these skirts have the perfect amount of detail on them to make it feel interesting while being a solid! also i need to baste the ribbon ties down eventually they always come undone .....

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

chinese indie - pink gingham ribbon lace skirt

this is actually a different brand and Hoo boy this purchase was so weird - i asked to customise for 90 cm waist and they send me this skirt with like 120 cm waist unstretched??? i couldn't be bothered to sell it and i realised the alteration was easy enough, so it now fits me! (albeit a bit loosely and with a lot of bulk at the waist)

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

blouses

le carrousel - anne's blouse (with customisation) in white

my only white blouse before got stained mint in the wash lol so i needed a new white blouse quite desperately but all the ones on tb in my style were too small or too terrible in quality :( i got v v excited when i saw le carrousel had this but i thought the front was too plain to wear with a skirt so i asked for pintucks and lace to be added to the front and they actually said yes to that customisation!! so it's not only customised in size but also in design :D i promise it looks very cute it just needs to be washed.... and steamed.....

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

le carrousel - classic princess blouse in white

don't come for me for the wrinkles this blouse also needs to be washed lol i wore it on my birthday!! it has those detachable neckties that cross in front of ur neck and look So Cool but move around a lot hbfhd anyway! i adore this blouse it makes me feel very elegant

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

le carrousel - basic sailor blouse in white

i needed a blouse to go with my marine jsks and that i could wear with solid skirts to make sailor coords :D very happy with it and i might get another one with black trim.... after my long list of other stuff i need to prioritise haha

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

miss point (chinese indie) - ivory chiffon sleeve stand collar blouse

this was my first blouse in my first lolita order (off DI haha)!! it's like the last thing from that order i have left, because it's really nice quality and was customised for my measurements! (even though it has that net lace on everything which i hate)

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

outerwear

unknown - ivory lace cardigan

got it at the same swapmeet above!! i just love layering so i was looking for something like this to help with that :D it is getting lots of use (actually also in my mori coords!)

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

unknown korean brand - red glitter knit cardigan

i got this for the very good price of Free at the same swapmeet! the shape is a bit strange on the body unless you drape it in a specific way but it's really neat for showing the blouse or necklaces while having the extra layer!!

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

metamorphose temps de fille - sailor parka with patch (2018)

i saw this on mercari in my Sailor Item Acquisition phase and was like Oh? because good deal and NWOT to boot, so i saved it and when i was ready to buy things it was still listed!! so obviously i got it :D i was super worried about it not fitting and zipping up, or being super tight in the armscye but it's just right! not too tight but not loose at all

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

footwear

here are most of my footwear options.... i have more socks but i don't like them as much so i didn't take them out lol

the ones in the bottom 2 rows are painstakingly found over a Long time on tb (especially happy to have found the torchon lace socks)! upper row tights are from snag and the sax ankle socks are from a french brand which i forget... i also have more footwear on the way!!

for the shoes from left to right, they're elf armoire (or armorie depending on where u look lol), bodyline (bought on the listing on tb), and antaina! i'm especially pleased about the last shoes cause i really wanted cork sole shoes that would be nice to walk in :-)

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

accessories

these are most of the accessories i wear with egl! there are certainly more small detachable bows and things in my wardrobe i simply did not want to take them all out.

the top section is stuff from le carrousel, i actually got the stained glass and white headbow for free alongside my orders which is so nice!! the large sailor bow goes with the sailor blouse.

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

the muff and crown necklace i bought from mintypile on insagrarn when i was just starting out! absolutely no regrets i love that necklace to death. the other stuff is mostly collected here and there and aren't specifically lolita. actually i just realised the top row of earrings and rings are all vintage, and i wear other earrings from my normie wardrobe with lolita too! i also forgot to photograph my wax seal necklace from a friend from waxpoetic.... Oops....

the two headdresses are like the only ones i own currently, the left one searched for very carefully on tb to fit my strange criteria and the right from majoly on insta (it's SO cute and majoly is very nice)!! i have a white headdress on the way hehe and then i will be satisfied

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

things to sell

well... there's a lot ..... my style and priorities when it comes to construction and quality have changed a lot, and it took me a while to know what was stuff that i liked on me vs stuff i liked on other people (crucial difference)

i'm selling quite a few blouses because of fit or because of material and design, and i have some items which i would keep if not for personal taste (colour or fit or other things)

i'm most sad to say goodbye to my dim light holy jsk in sax because i adore the print in this colourway, i really do, but the jsk is just far too ott for me to wear often enough to justify owning it, plus i don't own the right items to coord it in different ways :,(

i really liked the look of the dim light skirts at the laforet mayonaka granba this year!! it's a nice happy medium between the elaborate print and a less fussy design, it's just too bad i forgot about the event and missed the day ;; i heard they didn't sell out tho so perhaps i can get them if meta lists them later!!

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

things on the way

very excited abt my Pakige on the way from 42agent, i got some Deals and stuff that if it fits will be very cool and necessary!!

from tb: white cutsew, white rectangle headdress, and various footwear basics

from xianyu: the same grove deer op but in wine (for like 8 pounds!!), a white maxicimam blouse (it's lovely size so i think it'll fit!!), and a pink btssb cutsew (this one is like the aspirational purchase, i'm less hopeful about the fit but it would be awesome if it works!!)

i have 2 custom jsks that have been cooking at glittertale since july last year (due to mistakes in construction and general indie brand problems) and i think they'll be Actually done soon!

lastly (very exciting) i have a mucha print op!! from sweet mildred!! which is Omg because i love both mucha print items (SO MUCH) and sweet mildred's stuff! i made an order before in 2021 but i think she had some personal things going on so it never happened and i got a refund to buy this op instead :D

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

ok that is it!! the end of my wardrobe post :D very long but i hope u enjoyed it if u read it through ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚

Thinking abt buying this JSK (Jumperskirt) for myself lol Its so cute.. I think I want to try to plan coordinates around characters! I think I could go for a gothic one for Noel, a shiro one for Ray, and a sweet one for Ib Ib and Noel are easier to do in lolita (especially Ib) as their outfits can be I guess similar to some main pieces OH and Jillian in shiro too... ++ Ellen from Witch's House !! Aaa so many plans

A Brief Look at Lolita Fashion

There is a difference between Lolita and lolita—one referring to the Nabokov novel from 1955, and one referring to the Japanese alternative fashion. Unfortunately, those not familiar with anime, Japanese culture, or alternative fashion, are confused when people use the term “lolita” to describe the fashion because of the association with the Nabakov novel. To be clear, lolita fashion has nothing to do with the book, and with this article, I want to explore the history of lolita, the assumptions of sexuality about lolita, and feminism in this “cutesy” fashion.

Lolita fashion started gaining prominence in the Harajuku district of Japan in the 1980s. Referred to as Elegant Gothic Lolita, or EGL, the style drew on inspiration from historical clothing from the Victorian and French Rococo, the lavish dresses and oh, the frills! Despite the idea of lolita being all pink, there are actually several substyles within lolita—including classic, sweet, and gothic. Each substyle has their own general color schemes and accessories, but they all follow the same respective silhouettes and guidelines.

(Diagram from PenguinLolita)

An outfit is called a coordinate, and there are multiple pieces that make up a single coordinate. PenguinLolita uses a great diagram to showcase the anatomy of a coord (shorthand for coordinate). A coordinate includes either a one piece dress (OP), a jumperskirt (JSK) with a blouse, or a skirt with a blouse, a petticoat beneath the dress to help achieve an A-line shape, bloomers beneath the petti, usually worn to preserve modesty in case any curious outsiders try to pull the skirts up, socks or tights, shoes (typically a tea party shoe or Mary Jane style), and a head piece. The idea of the head piece is to balance out the volume and shape of the coordinate. Coordinate-inspired accessories are also encouraged, and Over the Top (OTT) coordinates are all the rage. Accessories can include, but are not limited to, rings, bracelets, wrist cuffs, necklaces, and bows. Parasols and purses are often seen to round out the look!

So where does the EGL community and the Nabokov book overlap? Well, they don’t. However, because the fashion shares a name with the Nabokov novel, it is easy for outsiders of the community to perceive EGL as something sexual. Coined as a “lolita complex,” or “lolicon,” this is the idea of older men, typically middle age, being attracted to younger girls, in line with the Nabokov novel. The EGL community is a place for women of all ages to honor this fashion and its roots as a fashion inspired by French Rococo styles. As PenguinLolita puts it, “The lolita subculture emphasises modesty and youthfulness, as well as drawing from the Japanese kawaii aesthetic, and isn't considered overtly sexual by its followers.” 

It is, unfortunately, a common occurrence for lolitas to come across those who have assumptions and perceptions of what lolita is. Because of its youthfulness and cute fashion, members of the EGL community are often assumed to be dressing up to play out some sort of sexual fantasy. This really could not be further from the truth. Some lolitas have been attracted to the fashion because of its lack of sexualization and emphasis on expressing oneself. Lolita fashion inherently subverts the  social expectation of how women should dress. I’m not saying it’s not impossible for people to be attracted to the fashion and try to use pieces that are “lolita” inspired to fulfil some sexual desire, but that would not be lolita—plain and simple.

Coordinates can be incredibly expensive, especially when considering that pieces are not mass produced, thus emphasizing paying for the unique print, manufacturing of the garment, waiting for the garment to be made, and shipping. Buying pieces from brands such as Angelic Pretty and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright can reach up to $1,000+ USD. Considering everything that goes into a basic coordinate, this can be an easy deterrent for those who are not devoted to the fashion, or for those looking at it in a way that is purely sexual, so it is relatively easy to spot someone who is claiming to be part of the EGL community for all the wrong reasons. Additionally, the EGL community tends to use the terms lolita (lowercase ‘L’), EGL, and “lolita fashion” when discussing the fashion, and they avoid using the words Lolita (uppercase ‘L’), and loli.

What is the appeal to lolita fashion, and is it for everyone? As discussed before, the fashion is inherently nonsexual, and is something people of all ages can enjoy and wear. It is not just for women, though. The idea of lolita is to embrace non-traditional femininity, something that is incredibly important when masculinity is favored so prominently throughout the world. It defies this idea that women need to dress to attract work, love, and have kids. Lolita embraces cuteness and fun, and you can embrace everything that makes you YOU, all while engaging with the EGL fashion, whether you are Black, White, or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Lolita is about honoring femininity and oneself, and there is a substyle for everyone. Recently, ouji has been becoming more popular to accompany  lolita fashion. The term “ouji” refers to a “prince-like” style. If lolita is a “princess-like” style, then ouji is its counterpart. Frills galore, but add pants; and this is the perfect fashion for individuals who love and appreciate the fashion, but do not feel comfortable in dresses or skirts (for a variety of reasons).

More than ever, lolita fashion is accessible to those not living in Japan, or individuals who do not fit in the “one size” (one size fits small) many name brand lolita companies use. Bodyline offers lolita pieces at a low price, and it is easy to buy directly from their Japanese site if you live out of the country. Additionally, Taobao lolita brands are becoming increasingly popular, and consumers outside of China and Japan can use shopping services for both Taobao brands and Japanese lolita brands. There are U.S. stores and websites for Angelic Pretty and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright, so North American lolitas can buy directly from there in English. Lolita has become so much more than an alternative fashion seen on the streets of Harajuku, Kei-Con, a convention for kawaii alternative fashion enthusiasts, popping up in Toronto, Canada, and Paradiso, a J-fashion convention based in the Midwest. With tea parties held at the Angelic Pretty stores around the world, the alternative fashion is becoming increasingly visible outside of Japan and accepted through various local EGL communities.

What about plus size lolitas? Many Taobao brands offer custom sizing on select pieces to help lolitas that don’t fit in the small sizing “standard.” Dollbe on Etsy offers JSKs and OPs up to 5XL, and their sizing is so inclusive. Dollbe is also  a Black-owned lolita company! Another size inclusive shop is Lady Sloth, a lolita brand from Poland. They offer custom sizing, as well, and their pieces range from sweet lolita to gothic lolita with classic disbursed between.

The EGL community is wonderfully inclusive and accepting. It embraces differences in those who participate in the fashion. The EGL community is, at its core, alternative fashion, which is accepting of all individuals who want to embrace femininity. Aside from the beautiful coordinates, lolita is about being yourself, truly. It can be an amazing and breathtaking experience to put on your first full coordinate. If you’re interested in lolita fashion, don’t be afraid to reach out to your local lolita community. Additionally, there are many lovely lolitas on Youtube that can aid you in your quest to build the lolita wardrobe of your dreams.

A special thank you to the lovely lolitas from my own community in Michigan for helping me with this piece!

#CosplayOfTheMonth: Alice, but make her a Princess! (April)

Growing up, I thought Alice was a Disney Princess. I know now that she isn’t (and there’s apparently a set of rules for what qualifies a character to be a DP!), but I decided to play around with that idea for this month’s look! I think it came out looking more like a young Marie Antoinette than the general Alice aesthetic that most people are familiar with, oopsie.

Why I chose Alice for this month

I chose Alice for this month because of her encounters with many confusing and  hard-to-believe things in Wonderland, not too far from how we all feel on April Fools’ Day! 

About the look 

If you’ve been a long-time follower, then you probably already know that I love lolita fashion. Something about the whimsical, dainty aesthetic has always spoken to me, so even though I can’t wear it as often, I’ve kept my frilly clothes around. My inner blouse here is actually a short dress! I’ve had this blue Bodyline jumperskirt for years, and in my head, it has always been my “Alice” dress.

For makeup, I really slapped on a lot of blush, and did my eyes as doll-like as possible! I had some offbrand Diamond Lash dupes for my upper falsies, then snipped short a pair of my Rock-A-Lash #8 - Underlash B to complete the eyemake. 

My wig is the Gothic Lolita Wigs Countess in Blanche, teased a little more for volume. Personally, I find the bouffant to be one of those impractically princess-y things. XD I kept my accessories pretty simple for this one, since the hair was already over-the-top. One of my trusty bow clips from Forever21, and a single strand of pearls that I borrowed from my mom coz my own pearls were too yellow-toned. HAHAHAHA

Thoughts

May have gone too OTT with this one? I definitely like the outcome, but it feels a little too far from Alice. Maybe I’ll take another shot at it sometime. What do you think?

‘Til next entry, Vanessa ❤
