Information on sewing patterns for lolita dresses?


I was planning on getting into sewing. When I got better at it I wanted to make my own Lolita dresses since they are kind of hard to find. I could sell and wear them. Could someone give me a site with sewing patterns or a site that sells books with patterns?

Here are a few websites.

I suggest buying the Gothic & Lolita Bibles, they’re coming out in English now and they’ll have a few patterns with each issue. You can get them on Amazon.com cheaper than anywhere else.

If you’re beginning to sew and make lolita clothing, my tip would be to start small and working your way up. Try making some headdresses and alice bows and maybe cuffs, then do some simple alterations on some clothing and maybe make a bag out of a stuffed animal, then try making skirts, etc.

Another thing, make sure you use good quality materials. The quality of the materials you use is very important in lolita clothing. Use not-scratchy and durable cotton lace, and cloth that isn’t at all shiny.
