I decided to go to MCM Expo this year both to have a fun day out after a difficult week and to scout out the possibility of having a stall there next May stocking Lolita dresses and accessories so I made myself a JSK.
First Step fabric shopping – I have found it very difficult to find border print fabric in this country so I was very excited when on a visit to Bath I found this one: –
Next step was to make a toile
Once I was happy with the fit I cut it out
Once sewn together I put it on my dummy ready for embellishing
and here am I wearing it
I made a pretty blouse to go under it and a strawberry bag for all my bits and pieces. The best bit of all though was donning the wig and decorating it with all my hair accessories.
I had a lovely day, bought lots of things and on a serious note I can see that it would be a good place for me to have a stall there selling garments like my JSK and other Lolita styles.
