Handmade lolita dress for sale on Angelfire, c. 2005.

“SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!!! I hesitate to even offer this dress, but it so pretty i know some of you ladies will be interested. Prices start at 150 + fabric. When ordering you will need to give your bust and waist measurements. I will also request a fitting, which means i send it to you and you have your friend or mom help you pin it in places that need to be taken in, or note if its too tight then send it back. I can only do one of these if time permits and there are some variations that can be done, so PLEASE contact me first. Thank you!”
