If you know how to draft patterns, there are scans of the patterns online and all you really need is the image of the pattern piece and then to translate the measurements on it. Then draft the pattern and size up or down if you need to. I made a dress this way from one image of a pattern 😊

Where I live, there are public funded schools (kind of like trade school) where people can learn basic patterns drafting for free. Then that’s it. We just have some books that shows what the patterns for that particular design supposed to look like. Personally I think it’s a good thing. Because it’s really teach you to actually know how to sew.

Lolita skirts are actually mostly rectangle skirts. Circle skirts don't have exactly the right shape for lolita skirts. But rectangle skirts are even easier to make cause they're literally just... rectangles. Otherwise the dress looks amazing! It's super cute and your tutorials are always super amazing.

For anyone who wants to make this, most Lolita dresses are actually made from a gathered rectangle (doing it this way means you can use any fabric you want and not just a solid colour), this is how they have the border print found in sweet lolita (plus there's less waste, it's easier' and you don't need an almost square piece of fabric). So just measure your waist, times it by three and add seam allowance; you now have the length of your rectangle (the width is your skirt length plus seam allowance). Now you can use 'lolita fabric' with a border print.

However i think it’s important to keep in mind the fact that most of the time if your deciding to sell a dress you will have to decrease the price simply because it’s modified (regardless of condition), this is especially true with highly sought after dresses (Ex. Milky Chan the Fawn by AP). But if you want to modify a dress go for it! Just keep in mind the fact that these dresses are limited releases and aren’t always available for sell.

I try to thrift and upcycle as much as I can, and bedsheets are always a go-to. Re: The Bird- I hope you've invested in some thermals, potentially also a method of pockets for ice packs, and perhaps a fan, though it looks like you went with a foam-base head, so hopefully it has super good ventilation!

Just a few corrections from a more seasoned lolita: • lolita started in the 70s • the skirt is actually a gathered rectangle, not a circle • most commercial dresses have shirring in the back so they're easier to get in out and of, regardless of if they have a zipper. more time consuming to make but it makes a world of difference for fit

While there are some elements in the 70s that we can point to as like inspiration for Lolita fashion, the first recorded usage of the word Lolita referring to the fashion was in the magazine Ryukou Tsushin in 1987, and we don’t really start seeing recognizable Lolita coords until the 90s. 100% agree about the rectangle skirt and shirring tho!

I'm also relieved that I'm not the only one who doesn't buy a perfectly matching zipper dirt every garment! I always cheat when putting in my zippers by basting the two sides together and then top stitching the zipper in. Then I rip the basting and it's all centered and lined up (sometimes it takes a minute to get all the thread bits out). It's definitely a different finished look with the top stitching, but I like it.

Normally for a plain, natural color fabric you need to spend 2 euros per yard at minimum here, yet I got a 3*2m massive, intricate, gorgeous find for half of that, so hell yeah for sewing out of bed sheets and curtains, and tablecloths.

It looks great! So the thing about getting away with no zipper is twofold -- 1. the higher your neckline is, the more likely it is that you'll need a zipper (and if you have sleeves, you almost 100% need a zipper), and 2. It's really hard to take off a fitted bodice with no zipper, but once the skirt is attached, you have something to grab onto in order to pull it over your head, so it becomes much easier. 😉
