Input on Lolita designs?

[recursivefp]

What with localised lolita fashion such as Wa lolita for Japan and Qi Lolita for China, I suddenly had the urge to make my own designs of localised lolita fashion for the Philippines. I was very disappointed and frustrated that the only brand that makes lolita clothing there happen to be DollDelight which aesthetically I find personally unappealing

These are breathtakingly gorgeous.I especially love the pink ones.

I'm so glad you think they're gorgeous >///< Thank you! The pinks are definitely some of my favourites in these too so I'm stoked you like them. <3

Will you be getting them made in the future?

I'm sort of gauging the interest atm to see if it's a great idea. I don't know how to sew myself so I'd need to commission someone who can. I'm considering it very carefully :3

It could become your own personal style statement you know. I'm not sure how rich you are :P or maybe you could use a crowd funding program but here's what I would do i I had financial support
1.I would get these commissioned if I couldnt sew myself.If you want the exact colours and patterns spoonflower is your best bet unless you know people locally.
2.Get 2 or 3 made and get a shoot done in a location which complements the co ordinate.
3.This could become the style people associate you with.For example when I think of Rinrin doll I think of colour on her fringe and on her hair tips.Get my drift? it's unique to her style.When I think of Misako Aoki I think of sweet understated make up & subtlety.
4.This is easier in theory than practicality and I'm just rambling but yea if you have the backing and finances you should totally do this.

I'm considering a crowdfunding might be the best possible thing to do since I'm actually very poor. I'm kind of a lolita in debt. XD
Yeah commissions was the first thing that came to me since i'm not really well-versed in my local lolita community and I don't know if there are any Melbourne Fil-Australian lolitas willing to do a joint business venture maybe with regards to this style.
Aww, yeah! I'm personally a huge fan of RinRin and she's so distinct for her hair. *^w^* And I enjoy the fact that she's modeling for Angelic Pretty. <3 I would love to stand out in the way that lolita models do~~
It's great that you're sharing your ideas with me! It helps me with brainstorming too because honestly on my own I'm kind of stuck with this idea myself ^^;

Please can we chat via facebook or email if you dont mind? it's alot easier for me that way.My email is charlottecrodricks@hotmail.com

Also I'm assuming you attend cons and lolita parties/events seeing as you're residing in the Phillipines? I think the first step would be to get at least one of these commissioned.Select everything well.I know there are companies that produce these on a mass scale if you collaborate with them.Choose the best materials but try and do everything locally.You could always get together with people from your local lolita community and ask if anyone is interested.

I'll look it up on FB later.

I actually haven't been in the Philippines for 12 years. I'm actually in Melbourne, Australia and I only really only started wearing Lolita for about a year. I haven't even mustered the courage to join the Melbourne Lolita community either so it's extra difficult to get started. >.

Still I think they are pretty cool if you can do so much in the space of one year. I think you should at least try to find other lolitas in your area coz at least you can find out the scope of getting a lolita design commissioned.All the best with your endeavours.I would love to know how you move forward with this so do keep me updated.Thanks
