Pink Roses Floral Paper

Interested in finding out more about that sweet rose patterned paper I used for the sweet lolita dress? Here it is! I altered the color of the rose pattern to be lighter and more peachy than it actually is.

The pink gingham pattern appears on the other side of the roses. I found it at my local craft store but you might be able to order directly. See copyright notice below for a link.

Need some skirt and embellishing ideas? This video will demonstrate how I put the skirt on this little beauty as well as what I did for final embellishments.

The paper wardrobe project will soon be coming to the end of its first year. I hope you will join me this July for the Fashion Week blog hop party. Enjoy!

Sweet Lolita in Pink Floral

Lo-li-ta! I love how sweetly that just rolls off the tongue. This sweet Lolita with her pink floral and white skirts will give you diabetes just looking at it.

She was a bit of a challenge with the over skirt but oh, the satisfaction that comes when I finally get it right is positively euphoric.

Have you Heard of Lolita Fashion?

Lolita (ロリィタ) is a street fashion and a subculture in Japan known for its intricate and delicate, doll-like look. The clothing is inspired mainly by the Rococo and Victorian eras and covers a large variety of sub-styles.

love the ruffled, southern belle style skirt

The concept behind Lolita borders on the disturbing side of life for me but the fashion is wonderfully intriguing and so pretty in an over the top, Marie Antoinette meets Scarlet O'Hara kinda way. I could get lost in it for days!

love everything about this but the color

In the absence of anything interesting in the way of tea dress inspiration for May's paper couture project, Lolita fashion presents such a rich opportunity to create something wildly different yet scrumptiously girly that I simply can not resist it.

I'm thinking the neckline from the black dress combined with skirt elements from dresses 1 and 3 will produce an absolutely divine Miss May! Do you have a favorite? Let me know what you think.
