I didn't realize that you lived in a warm climate! It's getting chilly where I live, so that's part of the reason why I suggested a long sleeve ^-^;

I checked a review and the bow is detachable on the blouse. Most Bodyline items in my experience with a big bow like that, the bows are detachable and when they are in their package they are not attached. If you ever feel inclined to leave the bow on for whatever reason, the bows tend to be heavy and so you'll need to add pins to hold it up.

I think with tights you can probably find white tights at your local Walmart or wherever you go to buy tights. Of course, you should try checking places like etsy too to find more interesting socks, maybe white with a floral print? There were a pair of socks on Bodyline that I felt would work well, but it was sold out!

Another accessory idea is some not too warm white gloves? You're a better judge of how hot it is over there, but maybe finding some breathable white gloves would be a nice little touch.

Yeah, I'll just check Wal-Mart, that'll be simpler and easy. I'll look for some gloves or something~

edit: Someone tried to outbid me, and I would die if someone else got that dress so I just went and bought it for $100. xD

I think eventually I'll get a winter coat, I get cold more easily than others so it would be helpful when it gets too cold for me. Plus, I plan on moving to a colder state eventually~ I'll probably end up getting a bolero or something. Anywhoodles~ I may just get some wristcuffs, but I'm still looking around.

My dress is getting shipped tomorrow and I can't wait to get it. I hope it gets here fast~ I also ordered the bonnet. I think tomorrow I'll buy the blouse, shoes, and some bloomers from bodyline. I'll get some stockings at Wal-Mart too(I work there so I can just pick some up before I go home xD). Then I'll find a petticoat and whatever else I need after that.

Bodyline's website hasn't been working for a few days. I just checked it and it still gives me an error. I can still check the tracking on my orders, but as soon as I go into a category I get an error.

Well, I'm back from work and it looks like bodyline is back in working order. Time to order from them now~

edit:
Ordered my stuff, now all I need is a petticoat, but I'll wait till next paycheck cause I need to buy food lol.

What kind of shape of petti will you be looking at? I'm assuming a-line by looking at the jsk.

While I've heard that Classical Puppet's pettis are pretty nice, I've read some reviews about their a-shape one and as it turns out, it doesn't quite have the right silhouette, so take caution there. I forgot which review I read it from, so it'll just take some research.

I'm not at all experienced with petticoat buying yet, but you could try looking at Malco Modes' petticoats as well, if you can find the right shape/fold it into right shape. They might be too fluffy, however. Take this with a grain of salt.

Yeah, it's an A-line. I'll be getting this petticoat probably. * QutieLand *

Now, all I need is to find some gloves or wrist cuffs and I'll be set.

edit:
I think I'll eventually get a purse to go with it. Maybe this * QutieLand *

I also like this for traveling * QutieLand *

Alternatively, you could try a SS like TaobaoSpree and the like, but they can get complicated and confusing depending on their ordering instructions.

I've found SpreeNow.com - Home and they seem simple. Pretty soon I plan to try ordering Luna in the Sea through them. When I do I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes.

On a slightly unrelated note: I did send qutieland an email asking what happened to the order I placed, so hopefully I'll get work back on that soon.

i finally bought a kimono, though it's leaning more on the visual kei side of things, but even so, i really like it :3

Ay very Visual Kei. Though I don't know much about visual kei though...

Maybe you could look into shironuri makeup to go with? It's kinda like a more pretty and artsy whiteface. Here's an example:

This lady here is Minori, and she specializes in that makeup style. She has a video up on Youtube that's a tutorial on how to do it!

You can also get some further outfit inspiration from looking at scans of the Gothic and Lolita Bible! Specifically of the more gothic stuff : )

...Otherwise, I don't know much about visual kei, or goth things for that matter. You're probably better off asking someone who knows more about it.

Melty Ribbon Chocolate JSK and beret in Bitter colourway

some meta socks

Waiting on an order from Taobao now.

I have one slight issue with the JSK though; it doesn't fit.
the shoulder straps and bust are way too big for me, and I got the smallest size. Any ideas on how to fix that issue?

I'd say take it to a seamstress or tailor and they'll fix it for you~

edit:
I got my dress today! It's so pretty and it's so nice~ But it's a little too small. I'll just put off buying the petticoat for now and save up some money while in the meantime I'll workout. I was planning to lose some weight anyways and now this dress is giving me the motivation to do so. xD

I went to my first Lolita meet up yesterday and It was a lot of fun. I learned that people will stare in awe of the dresses and like to take picture with the girls, or just of the girls. one person told the other girls and I that we are apparently going to be on facebook in the philippines. I also learned that when I'm extra scared of getting food and drink on my dress I have less of an appetite than usual.

It sounds like fun to be with other lolitas!! During NYCC, I saw some lolitas there and I was like OMG there are lolitas! I wanted to talk to one but it was so crowded and I felt weird about it. I kinda went a little insane when I saw a girl in brand too ^-^;

...I thought I saw a booth that sold lolita stuff, but it turned out to be kawaii Alice/meido costumes instead : (

Edit: I just got a notice from the post office today that my Qutieland stuff arrived!! I'll be picking it up Wednesday, so I'm super duper excited!!
