It's no secret that I am a plus size lolita. I have been plus size my entire lolita life. Things have changed a lot from when I first discovered the fashion and for the better! There are so many indie brands that offer custom sizing, and even lolita name brands that have started to be more size inclusive, wow! There are some dresses and skirts that I love that I cannot hope to wear...or can I? Magic Princess I adore the Magic Princess series by Angelic Pretty. From the pastel Disneyland-inspired castles to the ornate golden wands, I love everything about this release! I could easily own each piece from the series in my wardrobe, including the main pieces that I would be unable to wear. When an altered pink Napoleon jumperskirt was listed for sale on Lace Market - I jumped at the chance to own it! Altering Brand When it comes to altering lolita clothes, there are a few methods that have seen.
Final Thoughts I am very happy with my altered piece. I will keep an eye out for modified lolita items in the future! Will I have some of my dresses and skirts altered? Yes! There are main pieces I would love, and keep, in my lolita wardrobe. Since I love this series so much, I plan to add more colorways of this dress! Do you have any altered pieces? Are their items that you would like to modify? Are you completely against modifying brand pieces? I'd love to read your thoughts!
Stay Frilly,

I just wanted to thank you! You have no idea how much I needed to see this. I keep looking over all these dream dress, thinking I could never wear most brands because of my size. Seeing how beautiful you look, and realizing that it isn't some great crime to alter a dress makes me so relieved.

Thank you so much for this blog post! Between you writing this and seeing one of my insta friends alter one of her dream dresses, I finally took the plunge, and began altering the Milky Planet OP I've been hanging on to for the past three years. You look absolutely magical in Magic Princess, and I'm so happy for you!

My first Lolita dress was a gorgeous print from diamond honey, but it fit too tight and was too short for me to feel comfortable. I made it into a skirt by chopping off the top from the armpits up, and though i felt a bit terrible at first, I am so happy with it! I wear it all the time, even when I’m not in a full coord!

I'm stumbling on your post pretty late, but I wanted to say thank you for the ideas! I had been committed to using matching solid fabrics before hearing about using the waist ties or totes to alter brand, and I think my future pieces will be that much better with more options because of that. I dream of wearing AP OPs! Bless this post!
