I have Moitie’s Frame Cross Print JSK and I’m worried about washing it. I was going to just get it dry cleaned, but I know you’re not supposed to dry clean screen prints, and I don’t know if it is screen printed or not! Does anyone know if it is?

I recently sold a jsk that I wore once and stored for a few months in my closet on a hanger. Unfortunately, I've heard from my lovely buyer that the straps are kinda stretched and loose on her shoulders ( Read more... )

Does anyone have any experience with ( Read more... )

We all have these blouses that we absolutely hate to wash just because we know -you know- that we'll need to iron them afterwards if we want them not to look like old piles of fabric. There are these beautiful dresses and skirts with tiers and ruffles that look so lovely until you wash them, but then become all frumpy.

There are some items in our wardrobe that take a ridiculous amount of punishment over the months of use they get, and considering the price most lolitas tend to pay for their goods, it had better hold up to it! ...Or so we assume. The one true test of quality and sturdy craftsmanship is time. Did the buttons pop off of your AaTP blouse despite ( Read more... )
