Thank you for the advise! I just started out, so I've been using my phone camera and wig and all. I was thinking about asking my friend to do a shoot with me and borrowing my father's nice camera (with his permission of course!)
With this design was a very old one that I was considering changing or just scrapping actually~
and this one was yeah kind of a "I didn't know what I was going for" kind of thing ^_^'
Thanks again for your helpful critique and advise! <3

I don't have a lot of loli experience so I'm mostly coming from a general crafting/sewing perspective, but I agree with zucci_zookeenee and also really like that one with the layers. It looks the best out of the stuff you've posted and has a very pretty color scheme ( ... )

Thank you for your advise as well! I'll try to consider these things more thouroughly when I'm making accessories and shooting them next time~ I've tried to stuff fabric bows with foam and other insides but they continue to be a bit lifeless? I'm unsure of what to do to them for them to hold their shape?
Thank you very much for your helpful advise!

Hmm, regarding the bows, the main suggestion I have is to try starch. I use spray starch for stiffening up fabric and it's worked pretty well for me. Otherwise, glue mixed with water is a decent substitute, I believe.

Thank you! I'll be sure to try that on them ^_^
