Japanese fashion

That's the thing: its a clash of colour and texture! and I can indulge my love for velvet and purple O.o but yeas, where to find such clothes...

I must say it appears a cheaper fashion that Lolita for example... you can have a few pieces and wear them in infinite combinations and still make the aesthetic: and accessories? yep, I'll just take that curtain tie and wear it as a necklace, that embroidered cushion cover? I'll make that into a tote bag ^_^ Magpie fashion-it's awesome!

You've obviously never looked at the prices they charge at Grimoire...pretty costly, as with anything vintage. And since you need more layers than lolita, a dolly-kei outfit will probably cost just as much (if not more) unless you're really lucky finding/making things! Though a lot of the outfits look like they're just wearing curtains...alter all the curtains xD

I totally want a curtain tie as an accessory - that's what makes me love dolly-kei so much. I've always had an obsession with those things but no reason to own any =P

hahaha well... nope I will check out Grimoire though, for ideas. And I think really it depends whether you go ''vintage'' vintage or ''trendy'' vintage although a lot of ''vintage'' vintage needs a bit/ lot of TLC, it doesn't have to be toooo expensive I'm thinking it would just be easier to find clothes about more readily than Lolita, hence avoid shipping/ import fees and the unstructured look of most of the clothes lends itself to easier making ^_^

I really like Dolly kei, but it seems like it would be so difficult to coordinate well. I doubt I'd ever dress in it, but it's certainly cool to see how inventive people are with some of their outfits ^_^

What about Fairy kei? I've had a fondness for it for a while (I count it as slightly strange that I started liking Fairy kei before I started liking Sweet Lolita...), and looking at some pictures of it this morning has made me realise how amazing it can actually look

I can appreciate it, as I can anything if I look at it as objectively as possible, but :S I don't buy into pastels in Lolita, so like Fairy Kei even less I'm afraid :/ I like a bit of glamour (jewel tones, embroidery, gothic lace and roses)... but that's just me there have already been some posts on Fairy Kei in this topic, so you're not the only one

I completely forgot that Fairy kei was mentioned earlier in this topic, guess that's what happens when discussion is spread over a few weeks But yeah, I just really love the hyper-colourful craziness of Fairy kei ^_^
