My Lj is a bit buggy, I tried posting two times before, but no luck so far. I hope I'll manage today.
At last I listed the Bloody Sweet jsk. I went a bit overboard with the photo editing (I can has digital make-up, lawl), but trust me, it looks way better this way :D
It has already been featured in two tresuries: "I'd rather poppies than roses" and "Lolita"
For the listing go here, now onto the pictures!

Since I lack a right color zipper for the Tapestry jsk, it'll have to wait until I get a hold of one. So, now just a few WIP snapshots of it :)
Also a couple of new fabrics! I can't believe I found a steampunk fabric in our stores! Insanity! but I love it! Also today I finished a skirt from the top right fabric. Photos soon :)
For a side-note I want to add that I'm officially in love with Dolly-kei! It's like a weird mix of all the things I love! Haven't tried wearing since I found out about it a couple of days ago, but I'll def try my hand in it!
I've also re-discovered my love for black color in clothing and discovered a new love for harlequin or diamond print and empire-waist dresses (I have Emily Temple Cute to blame for that :D Will definitely try to make some when I figure out the perfect print for it) :)
And a little sad realization I came to today. I've always wanted a lolita brand piece, since I discovered what that is, as most of lolitas. I've read all about them, about their perfect construction, materials and what-not, but when I tried to dissect the pieces I realized that a size that doesn't fit and a print that bleeds, when washed BY HANDS IN COLD WATER doesn't cut it for a 300+$ dress... It's crazy! For that price, quality should be top priority and, as far as I know, the bleeding print problem isn't a new one. So why don't the brands try to fix it? Bodyline doesn't have a problem like that. Perhaps, our "dearest burando" should find out where BL prints their cotton and ditch their old printers..?
