I found some really cute and lacy prom dresses and wedding dresses for sale at the Salvation Army and I was wondering if you guys had any tips on how to make some of these dresses into lolita clothes. I don't have much sewing skills but my friend does. I didn't buy any of them so i don't have pictures but do you guys have any tips for me?

I don't have much advice for you on how to do it, except that you'll have to do a lot of heavy modification to the bodice so it'll sit at the natural waist properly. You'll also probably have to detach and completely restructure the skirts before reattaching them.

My friend Christy modified a vintage wedding gown into a white lolita dress a white ago:

Ivory Lolita 1
Ivory Lolita 2

Can't find photos of the back, but the sheer train was bustled over the rest of the skirt.
