Hello Sparkles!
It' nice and warm out, isn't it? Well it won't be forever.
Are you going to order a winter coat? Have you saved up for one? How long will it take to arrive? Will it have to clear customs?
Maybe you already have one, but are ready to upgrade. Do consider selling your old coat, if you will not be wearing it.
If you are just starting out in your lolita journey, buying a coat may seem particularly intimidating.
Consider buying a nice flaired waist coat. A coat with a flared waistline should allow plenty of space for a petticoat. Note that a more dramatic flare means more room for poof!
I have am sewing my winter coat. The picture to the right is my inspiration.
I admit, I started this coat in the middle of last winter and never finished it. After several attempts, and much frustration, I tossed it into my "to be continued pile" (which I've often called much harsher things)
Now, I feel up to the challenge again, and am ready to take another try at it. I've abandoned the directions that came with the pattern at this point. I don't advise this, unless you know what you are doing (at least a little bit) otherwise you may be left with a lot of unusable fabric, and a cold tush.
Now is the time to think of options, because both sewing and ordering take time!
Stay warm, Sparkles!

Many new and exciting things! Oh, Minty is the name I've given my new accessories! done in mint and powder pink.
