† Winter Wonderland Meet †

Since coming back into the lolita community I was convinced by admins and members to make a lolita meet event for us all to go to and enjoy as a way for everyone to meet up and a way to help get me back into the swing of things. It was a bit hard at first to plan as figuring out what to do, where to go, what to eat etc... was something I have not done for a very long time however it did not take long to get into the swing of things and after sharing event ideas and such the meet plan was all ready to go.

Originally we all planned to go ice skating but there was one problem. As we all stood ready to skate it all dawned on us that some people were wearing expensive brand items and since the rink was FULL of children too we did not want to risk damaging the frills. So after a group discussion we all decided to go into the local museum and have a good mooch about at the "Human Bodies exhibition". Problem was with all the puns everyone kept laughing and my usual "Ooo science" side was held back with dirty jokes and amazingly funny Attack On Titan jokes (FYI its one of the few animes I know). However despite the fun we did enjoy the fascinating exhibition and exploded the rest of the venue as well. We could not take photographs but it was fine.

Soon after this the rest of the lolita's arrived and we all headed to the lovely vintage parlor Mark Toneys to delve in ice cream, tea, pastries and coordinate photographs. A contest was held for a brand item, the theme being winter wonderland and three winners places being honorable mention, runner up and first place. It was a lovely meet and I am looking forward to host the next one~

Dress Information

This beautiful dress almost seems to be a hidden gem on the Bodyline website. With layers of frill, beautiful fabric and lovely detail this jumperskirt tops everything, in my opinion, on the Bodyline website! Just by looking at this dress you can see a lot of BTSSB elements in it, with a very delicate set of frills draped down the sides of the dress matched by a ruffled bust and beautiful lace choice.A bonus to this re-vampred Bodyline design is that the straps for the dress are detachable and just like the Brand Metamorphose have buttons for you to make the sleeved longer or smaller at will. The waist bow, which I often use as a head bow, has the cutest little black pearls and very nice strong lace. The dress is exact to the measurements and does not have much give despite it having shirring, if I was to recommend this dress I would not exceed to far from your size bracket. I will be buying this in red soon and I am so excited for the red to get here.

Dress Photographs

 It is a shame the photographs I have taken do not do the dress justice, as it is truly beautiful in person.

Coordination Idea

Jsk : Bodyline
Blouse : Offbrand
Bag : Offbrand
Headdress : Bodyline

Bat Clip & Necklace : Alchemy Gothic

 This coordinate I have here is probably one of the most basic coordinate I have worn. The dress is very beautiful and I felt that over complicating the outfit would make the detail of the dress standout less. The ida behind this coordinate, despite the simplicity, was inspired by old BTSSB coordinates from the older Gothic Lolita Bibles and I find this outfit is a modern mix with old school dipped in. The blouse choice was chosen for the weather on the day I wore it out. The heat was overbearing, so to make matters a little better I chose this soft see through blouse so the hot day wouldn't kill me as much. This dress is very dark and I thought about wearing my black jewelry with it but then I thought about adding a little wow to it. The silver Alchemy Gothic bat clip on the bow and the Alchemy Gothic heart locket seemed to be the best choice to accompany this outfit as well as stand out in just the right way. I think topped it off with my skull bag.
