I want to start getting into lolita
I am saving up for supplies
I plan on making everything myself except for things like shoes sweatdrop
at first I wanted to just buy some basic things, but I definitely have my size against me.
I'm taller than most and have some kind of mix between pear and hourglass figure.
so I decided that making things myself would be a lot simpler than buying and everything.
now I know some stores have the custom size option but they never give you the option to get the skirt or blouse a little longer.
I have troubles buying clothes in Europe as it is I am not even going to try hoping ill find anything ever fitting me precisely.


I know its hard to make everything myself and I don't have much of sewing experience( some just not allot), but I have patience and will never rush into cutting or sewing together something before thinking about what I'm about to do. So I guess there wont be much problems there.

so I am saving for a adjustable dress form (ill get half of it from my mother because she could use it to since its adjustable).
and fabric and such
but does anyone of you have any suggestions about what item to start with?
or any other helpful suggestions.

sorry for the long explanation and everything and I hope I did not post this in the wrong sub forum.

I would start making simple things. Bloomers, really simple skirts, head dresses, things like that!
I think petticoats are also kind of simple :3
After you get your bearings on that, you can try jumping into more complicated things like ops and blouses.

At least, that's MY plan O;
I recently inherited a sewing machine.

And I would say this coulda gone on the main page. But I'm usually wrong XD

Skirts and accessories would be the easiest place to begin.
There are a lot of easier patterns out there.
Bloomers would be a next step.
I think that crinolines are a bit harder...
