Facing My Wardrobe Fears

As I grow within this niche fashion, there are times where I have to branch out. From new brands, to custom pieces, I have learned new skills, and faced some challenges. These are the next obstacles!

Wearing Skirts

As a lolita, I have not been interested in wearing lolita skirts. I think this is because I was worried a blouse and skirt would not be flattering, like a dress. Ruedonite inspired me to give them a try! 
Skirts Are:
​♡ less expensive

​♡ show-off blouses
​♡ less layers
With the summer weather just around the corner, it will be nice to have fewer layers! The money I save through skirts can go to other areas of my lolita wardrobe. Wearing skirts will allow me to show off my blouses.

Wearing a One-piece

I have never worn one before, but I'm always enchanted by one-piece dresses. The designs are so elegant and lovely!
One-Pieces are:
​♡ very detailed

​♡ less layers
​♡ attention to accessories
I have not purchased a one-piece for one simple reason: size versatility. Many times this dress style doesn't have shirring. That being said, I cannot help but love them. A one-piece would be a fun challenge for me! It would be fewer layers in the summer. It would be a great option in a pinch.

I love this idea as well. My greatest challenge is finding blouses at the moment, so branching out to one pieces would help me out a lot. I'm also highly interested in accessories like bonnets right now and I anticipate finding the right one for me, as well. Good luck with your Lolita wardrobe goals, I can't wait to see what pieces you add. XOXO Tamara

Hi Tamara,

Thanks so much for your comment! I agree; blouses can be quite a challenge to find. Have you looked at Glitter Tale or Lady Sloth? Both shops offer custom sizing for blouses and one-piece dresses. I like the quality of both shops.

Once I got my first bonnet, I was hooked! I was a bit nervous at first, but I really like how it looks. I would love to hear what you think when you get your first bonnet! Accessories are always fun to get. I like the variety that accessories bring to my coordinates.

I wish you the best with your wardrobe additions, as well! I look forward to updates on your beauty and lifestyle blog <3

You know, I never really thought about skirts being cooler in the summer, but they probably are! :o

I have a few OPs that have back shirring (IW, AP, VM and Pina Sweet Collection) and a few from indie brands that are in more versatile sizes. I actually tend towards more simple OPs, and I find that they can be nice for times when I'm in a rush!

p.s. just FYI the "click here" button for this post seems to not be working?

Hi Raine,

Thank you so much for letting me know about the link! It should be fixed, now :)

That is wonderful to know that some OPs have back shirring! I have not seen any myself, but I am not as familiar with them. Are they recent OPs? Do you have any brands that you recommend? I would love to get some suggestions!

You would be surprised to know that there are actually quite a few OPs with back shirring and full shirring. AP's Dreaming Macaron and Melty Berry Princess come to mind. If you do a search on Lolibrary for OPs with shirring, you'll see a variety of options from just about every major brand. Of course, indie brands are also a great option for plus-size friendly OPs! I have one from Sweet Mildred that fits me wonderfully.

Hello,

That is wonderful to know! I will be sure to scroll through Lolibrary for some OPs that would be a good fit for me ♡ I am so close to Angelic Pretty's measurements for Dreaming Macaron - I had no idea!

I will be sure to check out my favorite indie shops, too ;) Thanks so much for the tips!
