I finished up a new period lolita outfit this week, my new lolified chemise a la reine!
The dress itself was a nice easy project, but I just didn't feel it was done till it had a hat to match!
At first I started the project out of fascination because i didn't really like these dresses much in the past, and also because I thought it would be nice and light for Summer. I found however that I do like these dresses, but for most people myself included, they do need a corset, so not so much for a modern Summer day.
Much more romantic that I normally like, I wasn't expecting to want to wear this once it was finished, but now I've tried it on I'm looking forward to wearing it out!
Also happy because the hat looks great with nor traditional lolita dresses, and even with regular street clothes! I bought a book on millinery recently and looking forward to wear more hats!

As for the dress it reminds me of mexico ^^lll maybe its the whole antique spanish style which i love so much. It NEVER goes out of style and its so free flowing.
Being half mexican i have seen similar dresses but a bit more um modern and the bottom part is not as lolita like but its just soooo adorable, both interpretations <33333
I simply love it :)
I hope i made sense XP
The long line, the simple bust... I know all incarnations of a chemise are a bit plain, but oh! Oh! This is so lovely; you've given me such hope. Even in black, I think this would still look very lolita, no? Eeee!
(I also hope you don't mind me constantly mimicking your projects, but I swear, you're such an inspiration to me. I spend most of last night practicing whitework -- well, in my case, blackwork.)
Are you wearing a corset underneath that dress? I may be conceited, but you've seen my figure; I'm hoping I can pull that off without one. (Basically, since my hips are practically panniers in and of themselves... ;9)
Eeeeee!
It would be nice to make some kind of chemise dress for Candy Violet next Summer, my only fear with this one is it has SooooOOooo much poof up top, I actually have my corset on under it with the back closed, to get a real waist in it. I think it would look good without, especially with a more hourglass shape like you have. So you never know where this one will go?
You could make a half boned corset out of a single layer of twill or coutil, with taped boning channels, and that wouldn't be too heavy for summer, I think. Hmmm...
Check out my blog and yell me if any of my designs would ever have the potential to become reality. Thanks if you do. You're one of my idols. Hopefully I can get to my grandmothers and sew something soon.
How much onee-chan?
you look very very cute
loved the dress!
