Lolita Triplets
Debuted: Lolita Twin Meet 2013
Awards: N/A
Skit: N/A
Lolita is a distinct Japanese fashion involving frilly dresses, lace, bows, and simply looking as cute and doll-like as possible. I've never owned anything lolita until this meet. My friends both wanted to attend and since it was a twin meet (where people attend in pairs and their lolita outfits match in some way), we decided to attend as triplets.
How I Made It
We bought matching dress prints from Bodyline in L518 red, green, and blue. Then we bought matching wigs from Gothic Lolita Wigs in spiral scarlet, raven, and honey bee. Our shoes and tights were up to us, and I created some cute hair accessories in our coordinating dress colors as a surprise for my friends.
The hair accessories can be worn in our hair or on our dresses as they are both clips and pins. I bought fabric squares in red, green, and blue marble, tiny silk flowers, buttons in the shape of card deck suits, and various charms, ribbons, and feathers. I measured out the size of the completed accessories I wanted and cut eight petals from the marble fabric (four large and four small) then held them in place with a silk flower. I made a bow from the ribbons, added charms in matching colors, and various card suits to match our dresses and personalities. A single diamond initial, two feathers each, and a bit of hot glue and the hair accessories were complete! Many of the other lolita ladies asked about them and urged me to make some to sell. I was grateful my friends loved them enough to wear them all day!
