Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kanami you look so cute, great outfit ^^

I recieved the Moi Meme Moitie skirt & blouse set yesterday, that I had been expecting~
The shirt, while fine for wearing around the house and for pictures, is a little too short to safely wear downtown for class, so it was left at home today. The skirt is also one of the shorter ones that Moitie has produced, I realized sweatdrop So with one of my other black blouses, and some tights instead of my Moitie socks (also helped because the wind was coooold), and my shorter bloomers, I wore the skirt from the set all the way downtown... to be told that my class was cancelled. Rather than return home immediately, my lovely Dulcinea and I took some pictures.

Cyrinn, how tall are you? Because that could also factor in to the skirt being short. I'm not sure if Moi mem moite has skirt lengths posted on their site (or cd japan, which is where I assume you go this from), but I know most places do, and maybe you shoudl check that skirt measurement against you next time?

What's the problem with (a little) shorter skirts? Cryrin has beautiful legs, she can show them (a little)! 3nodding

You could also add a frilly layer... But not too frilly thought because it wouldn't fit with the rest... Or add other frilly layers everywhere but that would change the dress a lot...

Okay, finally a picture of me.

It was still sunny this evening, so I threw on my new (actually old, but new to me) IW skirt, and a blouse. You can't see it so well in the photo, but the blouse is sheerer than I'd usually wear for lolita, so I'm going to try to use it as a pattern to make a less sheer blouse, since I really like the style. The skirt is velveteen, and incredibly heavy, so even though I had two crinis underneath, they did little. I think I'm going to need to buy netting for this skirt. Also, I don't plan on wearing it anywhere for serious until the fall, when it's cool enough outside to not die in a heavy skirt, and don't feel weird wearing such a long skirt around. This thing is so much longer than I was expecting, and I'm still trying to convince myself that the length looks fine.

I love the ring I'm wearing, though I didn't take a close picture of it. It's a rose, in ivory plastic. And, my shoes are not black, as you can see from the pic I took of them. I don't know why they keep looking black whenever pictures are taken of me.





Cryrin, I remember seeing your photos on EGL, and just felt like telling you again that you're incredibly pretty.

I don't want to alter the skirt directly, so I think that an underskirt will work well enough to give the appearance that there's a ruffle along the bottom of the skirt, and lengthen things at the same time.




It's not all that uncommon for them to produce a "short" version of a skirt, I've noticed, just as it isn't uncommon for them to produce skirts that are too long for Lolita (such as in the Iron Gate line), or produce them in a fabric that most deem unacceptable (an example being the MmM leather corset that's sitting in my closet-- And, thinking back, the skirt to the leather set was also sold as a short version).
I think that the variation and versatility is what makes it one of my favorite brands, Lolita or not (on top of the fact that most other brands are too big for me).




Thank you so much, dear. heart
You also look lovely-- the red really seems to suit you. As for your skirt, I highly suggest something like Meta's Organdie Pannier. Though harder to find, Moitie's petticoats are also known to hold up well. For a cheaper option, I've heard good things about Candy Violet's Fluffy Petticoat doing well under heavy fabrics.

Aww.....you're very pretty and your dress is nice too.
