Kumya is my angel😇

Christmas Day + kumya Christmas tree coord. None of these red items are matching and I forgot to tie the ribbons on my headdress, but oh well.

As the tree is now taking up the entire space where I would usually take outfit photos, it's a little hard right now to position things in order to photograph myself! I have a few other outfits I tried to take tree photos with, but I'm thinking that things will be back to looking a lot cleaner after I decide to put the tree away for the season.

All clothes Baby, the Stars Shine Bright except the socks, which are in fact Angelic Pretty.

I just got this gorgeous BtSSB velveteen babydoll jsk and had to wear it in a coord. 🖤 I love having the long bloomers peaking out from under an old school style dress, with lace-topped otk socks. There are velveteen elements in my necklace, rosette, and hat to tie the look together. 🖤 This was for a tea service and tour of a local Victorian home museum.

The show was so cool!! There were miniatures artists from all over the world, my friend bought some pieces for a library book book she’s making and I got some mini knotwork embroidery kits ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

lots of tiny bunnies! and mini La Mode Illustrée that I was super tempted by

#lolita fashion #baby the stars shine bright #BTSSB #angelic pretty #sweet lolita #oldschool lolita #mine #strawberries #I would have gotten the mode illustree but I have nowhere to put it… it would get lost among all the stuff on my dresser #sadly the velveteen bunnies were too expensive for me too :( #I want to invest in decorating my own place like a Victorian dollhouse first but then who knows. #might have to get a dollhouse for my house #I’ll have to find a way to keep it away from my bunny though because she would LOVE to chew on all the wood and paper things!

Well, it's not holiday time anymore, but here's a holiday themed outfit I wore earlier this month for afternoon tea at the Ritz. (It’s also red and Lunar New Year, so...) I had been looking for this dress for a few years and obtained it a few months ago, so I'm both happy to have it and wear it! The red velveteen material lends a lovely richness to the relatively simple cut, which I also coorded rather simply. However...this dress is quite notorious for color transfer in this colorway. I was aware of it, so I chose a pink-toned blouse so any possible transfer wouldn't be too distressing😫 I've also tried 3 soaks in dye fixative type solutions, which has helped a little, but I think there's just something about the material JetJ chose to use that makes it want to transfer on rubbing.

Fall 2022 Trends- Velveteen and Velour

Fall 2022 Trends- Velveteen and Velour

Every now and then you will see that brands will. Recently we have seen quite a few releases using similar idea of fabric for the fall and winter season, velveteen and velour. It is not a super common fabric in lolita, as its pile is difficult to work with and is thicker than the other type of cotton or polyester used for dresses but its drape and sheen has this richness to it that makes it…

lolita laundry tip: blocking your lace

This is something that really helps to make any dress with cotton lace look nicer- in the first pic, the middle row on the bodice and right side neckline have been blocked, and in the second photo all the lace has been done. In the third photo, the upper section has been blocked and the lower section below the waist seam hasn’t (I know I need to lint roll this dress, sorry!)

‘Blocking’ is a finishing technique commonly found in knitting and lace-making where after you wash your piece, as it dries you pull it into the correct shape so that after it dries it maintains that shape. For lace especially, this changes the lace from a scrunched-up state, opening up the stitches so you can see the beautiful pattern. Technically, proper blocking involves putting the item on a special mat and pinning it into place, but for my lolita I’ve found that you can just do it by hand.

This is done after washing, but while the garment is still damp- I generally wash my dresses in a machine (on a normal or gentle cycle, cold settings only) and then let them air-dry, and that’s when I deal with the lace. If I put them in the dryer or let them dry as is, the lace would dry in the ‘scrunched up’ state rather than being neat and flat (this has to be done every time you wash the garment).

To block- hold the seam or edge of the garment in one hand, and gently tug at the lace with the other to spread it out into shape. Only use enough force to get the lace to spread out, and be careful not to pull so hard you damage the seams or fabric! Then just let the dress air dry.

If you need to fix scrunched lace on a dry dress, I’d suggest steaming rather than ironing. If you gently steam the lace until it’s damp, then wait a couple seconds for it to cool off, you can re-block it, but personally I find this more tedious than blocking out of the wash since you have to watch out for the heat.

This technique is generally just for natural fibers- if you own wool or cotton sweaters they will also benefit from being gently pulled into shape before drying (never put wool in the dryer as it will shrink!). Synthetic lace, however, maintains its shape and can be machine-dried as long as the rest of the garment is also dryer-safe.

From the first Gothic Lolita Bible, 2001, Mana was wearing the Moi-même-Moitié Velveteen Frill Long Jacket and Jumper Skirt in blue, with a mini pannier underneath, OTK socks and a Coffin Beads Ring. "Frills overlapped many times are luxurious."
