My Bio
Giving advice and cracking down on Lolita Fashion mishaps.
If I favourite your deviation, that means that it's a good example of Lolita Fashion and you should feel awesome.
If, however, you've claimed that something is Lolita, but in reality it isn't, I'll tell you out straight, and not to embarrass you, but in the hope that you'll learn from it and that your watchers/friends won't think that dressing in the fashion means showering yourself in lace.
Also, if you want advice or criticism, feel free to ask!

####IMPORTANT LINKS FOR BEGINNERS####
List of Milanoo storefronts: egl.livejournal.com/18033026.h…
Milanoo is a scam company which goes by many different names and steals Brand stock photos in an attempt to sell horrible quality Lolita & cosplay clothing to people. I'm linking because an outfit I gave concrit to on here was from Milanoo, and looking around I wouldn't be surprised if a few other people have had a run-in with them. Be careful!

Lolita Handbook:lolita-handbook.livejournal.co…
Contains invaluable information for beginners. It is several years old, but goes through all the basics so it isn't out of date, exactly. Includes a history of the style, substyles, where to buy, hair and makeup, sewing, and much more.

How To Avoid Being Ita: fyeahlolita.blogspot.ie/2009/1…
Pretty self-explanatory. If you're not up with the lingo yet, ita is a term for an item of Lolita clothing which is of very bad quality, or an individual who wears said items without any evident desire or intention to wear something of better quality.

For the beginner on a budget:
Bodyline: www.bodyline.co.jp
Bodyline sells Lolita clothing at pretty reasonable prices. They're great for the beginner who wants to try out the style without spending a fortune. Before buying, check out this post: Bodyline for Beginners fyeahlolita.blogspot.ie/2009/1…

List of Taobao shops: egl.livejournal.com/16187531.h…
Taobao is a Chinese site, on which there are many shops which work independently within it. To buy from most shops on this site you will need a Shopping Service, which you can find by Googling "Taobao Shopping Service", or, if you use Livejournal, Dollypoddle runs a very good SS: dollypoddle.livejournal.com/
Don't use "I don't have money" as an excuse for dressing ita. Most lace monster dresses cost just as much if not more than a fairly good quality Bodyline or Taobao piece. Don't use the excuse if you're wearing clothes that aren't Lolita at all. "I'm sorry I don't have money so I just wore punk and called it Lolita." Whoa now, back up a bit. On that note, I'm adding some links to affordable beginner Lolita.

To some people it probably seems like a waste of time, since DA is known for its itasplosions, but so far almost everything's been great. I've had so many people thank me for concrit and pointing out when things are or aren't Lolita, I'm actually surprised! The rewarding part is knowing that not everyone on DA is hopeless. I've seen a lot of people on here who are probably on track to be great Lolitas, and who just need some accurate references to go on. Another thing, almost everyone's been really polite, it's amazing, and makes me feel like this is worthwhile. I'm going to post some links for beginners now. Duty calls!

Not for the nice people who respond to civil concrit with equally civil questions/understanding/honest confusion, but for the people who talk nonsense. NOOONEEEENOOOONEEEENOOOONEEEENOOOO WooooOOOOOOAAAAAEEEEEEEeeeoooooooowooooOOOOOOAAAAAEEEEEEEeeeoooooooo etc.

Thank you for existing! I'm sick of all the horribly wrong things under "lolita" on this website -- especially with the overflowing amount of gorgeous and genuine lolitas here who get little to no recognition.
This is fantastic.

Also, nice icon.
Thank you!
And I don't know where I found the icon, but bows unite!
here I drew something.
Not really the best of designing lolita stuff but I hope this isn't too bad;; [link]
I honestly love you so much for this. It's amazing! <33
thank you very much for the fav <3
