....and it got me thinking. When I first started looking into Lolita my main source was the Fruits Fashion books and a lot of the stuff in there was hand-made. This seemed like an intrinsic part of loli to me and went so well with idea of the fashion itself. Since getting into Live Journal and making some awesome loli friends, Brands have started to take over my vision of loli and tbh I'm not cool with that.
I agree with this statement, to an extent. I don't own much brand because I can't afford it and there are only certain prints I'd be willing to blow £2-300 on anyway. So I think from now on I'm going to concentrate more on making my loli gear. A lot of my Lolita is hand-made anyway and although it's hard to find fabric as nice as Brand dresses that doesn't cost a fortune, there's decent enough prints out there if you know where to look.
So my mid-year resolution will be to stay away from the burando and make my own way in the frilly world.
(Can I just add that I'm not against brand!! Buy/wear what you want, I don't care! This is just for me!:) )
