I actually ordered a lolita dress! I decided I really wanted to wear one to the first con I fund on my own and actually it's pretty exciting to act on that. Now that I'm thinking about it, buying my first coord to go with it just seems to be the icing on the cake!
I ordered the Veronica Print jsk from Magic Tea Party (a taobao brand) through clobbaonline. It's a really cheap dress. Somehow even cheaper than the one I was thinking of getting before. I took a little too long to decide to order so I got the rush delivery and it should be here sometime next week! I hope someone's home to accept the package. o:
I'd like to mention here that though the dress was inexpensive I do not expect the quality to be sub-par. I recently read through some reviews of Magic Tea Party and they seem to be doing fairly well and are a recommended brand for starter lolitas. Especially those low on funds like myself.
With the dress I ordered the matching head-bow and possibly the wrong shape petticoat (>.<;) I love A-line silhouettes so I got an A-line petticoat. Unfortunately, after doing a bit of research I discovered that a bell-shape would've suited the dress better. :/ Well now I'm at least definitely going to search for my desired silhouette for my next purchase.
With shipping and Paypal fees my order came to a total of $138.26 USD. Without shipping and fees it was $101.26 USD. Man shipping really kills ya, huh? (>.<)
I have a pearlescent, peasant blouse that (I hope) goes really well with the dress and I recently bought some cheap over-the-knees from Forever 21, so the only thing I'm worried about it having shoes comfortable enough for the convention.Wish me luck!~
Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!
