Hello & welcome to my wardrobe part 1 - Dresses

After my first post I got a promotion at work and realized I wanted to lean more towards sweet and hime style <3
So I hunted down some more dream dresses and is very happy with my wardrobe right now.
Added lot's of older Angelic Pretty

2020 was the true year of dream dresses. I really splurged on main pieces.

I know this is quite the amount of clothes but bare in mind I've been buying lolita & j-asfhion over the course of several years. And this is 90% of my closet.

I've included some items that aren't typical Lolita-brands, but all the items are a part of my daily closet.

I'm lucky to have a job in fashion and marketing, which makes it possible to wear this fashion everyday. I don't wear every dress to work but I do try to style most of my items casually in my everyday life.

Not pictured are all the headbows, jewerly and socks. And also waist-ties. So many waist-ties.

The year besides the brand name is the year the dress came out, not when I bought it.

Dresses

First out are black ones

Angelic Pretty, Cherry berry bunny, 2009

I LOVE THIS DRESS. If there was to be ar release again I would buy it in a diffrent cut.

The black and red is perfect and the bunnies are so cute. So happy with it!

Angelic Pretty Cinema Doll, 2020
Angelic Pretty re-released this gem in 2020 and I managed to get one.

Angelic Pretty Wonder Party, 2012

Alice and the Pirates, Carousel Appliqué JSK II, 2010
I had this black dress, petticoat and all to go see Baby Metal last year. I really wanted to have a Gothic lolita coord to that concert and so I picked this dress. HEAVY velvet is not recommended while people are moshing but people were so considerate. 10/10.

Angelic Pretty, Magical Etoile (Can't find this exact cut on lolibrary?) , 2014?
This was the print that got me into Sweet Lolita. I saw an ad for it and fell in love. I love amusement parks so this was given.

Angelic Pretty Candy Sprinkle Salopette, Lucky pack, 2013
I'm not that fond of salopettes as I'm tall, but I just couldn't pass on this print.

Innocent world, Side drape jsk, 2012

Found this gem for under 200 sek(!) It's my go to dress for concerts as it is in light material. The front is detachable and you can un-button the drapes at the sides, making this a very versatile garment.

Angelic Pretty Dreamy Dollhouse, 2009

I thought for a long time that One-pieces wasn't my thing. I was wrong.
This is one of my most worn dresses of 2020 & It's in great condition for it's age.

Chocolate

Angelic Pretty Chocolate Rosette special set, 2018, Angelic Pretty Royal chocolate round jsk, 2012

Emily temple cute, Queen's Garden Velour Sleeveless OP
Up for trade atm

Emily temple cute Chocolate Bar Camisole JSK, 2014
This was my first purchase directly from a brand store. Spent almost my whole salary from my summer job on this dress and thus began the chocolate obsession.

Angelic Pretty Melty Royal Chocolate, 2013, Angelic Pretty Melty Chocolate High Waist, 2009

Classic

Innocent World, Emblem Collar jsk, 2007

This is by far the oldest dress I own and the most worn. It's quite simple and could pass as vintage fashion of some sort, which makes it good for more normal settings and work. I've had it altered with the help of a tailor to fit my measurements. Bought it around 2015 at my first swap meet.

~~Innocent World, Charles Crown JSK, 2011, short version~~

Sold!

Innocent World, Lotta jsk, 2009 original release

A dream dress of mine since I first saw lolita fashion online. Love love love it.

Angelic Pretty Country of sweets, 2011

You'll se a pink jsk later down this post - I traded it off and decided I still wanted the print but in a different color.

Blue

Angelic Pretty, Dreamy Girl High Waist JSK, 2014

Oh boy this dress have been through a lot. Managed to spill tomato soup all over this dress at a job interview.
As you can see I managed to save it.

Baby the stars shine bright, Queen of Snow ~Fragment of "Eternity" I Hid in Snow Globe~ jsk I, 2014

"They ran about with the mirror; and at last there was not a land or a person who was not represented distorted in the mirror.So then they thought they would fly up to the sky, and have a joke there. The higher they flew with the mirror, the more terribly it grinned: they could hardly hold it fast. Higher and higher still they flew, nearer and nearer to the stars, when suddenly the mirror shook so terribly with grinning, that it flew out of their hands and fell to the earth, where it was dashed in a hundred million and more pieces."

- Hans Christian Andersen, The Snow Queen

I just call it my Frozen dress. My only dress by Baby the stars shine bright and I love it. Bought it damaged and restored it. I'm really fond of the cut and find it really flattering. Will look for the same silouette if I were to buy something more from them.

Angelic Pretty, Fairy Snow Decoration, 2019
This print was really slept on when it came out. The details are immaculate and deserve more hype. I really wish to make an OTT coord with this for a tea party.

Angelic Pretty, Memorial cake , 2009

Dream dress! Managed to buy this just recently. Features my fave cakes.

Purple

Angelic Pretty Tiara Rose Chest Ribbon, 2009

Top-tier princess dress right here. Bought this damaged for a low price. Washed it and it's like new again. The headbow matching this dress is one of my most worn headdresses.

~~Angelic Pretty, Sugary Carnival OP, 2009~~

I c o n i c Angelic pretty.
Bought this right before the MTO was announced. It's not in great condition. Oh well.

~~(It's quite hard to photograph purple I think)~~
Traded

Pink

Angelic Pretty, Sugary Carnival, 2009

I c o n i c Angelic pretty pt 2

Bought this jsk right under the hype. Looked for it so so long. The age of this dress is showing thus the print have faded a bit. I don't mind it as I still think it's beautiful.
For the MTO I went for the blue jsk as I think this still have a lot of wear left.

Bodyline Love Jewelry JSK (L345), 2011
Hime lolita!

Milk egg shell lolita, Sugar overflow. 2020

Looks like old Angelic Pretty. Added a clip-on bow for La Pafait and a broosch that might be from Ap's Milky planet(?)
Super comfy and have the OTT sweet poof. I have the sax OP on it's way hehe

Angelic Pretty, Side frill fairy, 2009

I traded this and the former owner never washed it ;_; And upon washing I knew why. The former owner(s) had hand-glued sequins on the dress. Over a hundred (!). It was quite cute but the glue was not waterproof and I still find sequins in my apartment.. It was such a hassle to remove them.

After a few washes it came out fairy new and now I can machine wash without any trouble. Such a perfect hime-piece.
But please just wash your clothes..

~~Angelic Pretty, Country of Sweets, 2011~~
~~Bought this damaged and is currently repairing the dress. Gives me old OTT vibes and looking forward to coord this.~~
Traded this one!

Bodyline, Honey Margeret Honey Margaret JSK (L365)

Underrated dress from Bodyline. The dress comes with a tiny soft pattern of hearts. The only downside is that it doesn't have any lining, which makes it quite transparent.

Merry Making Party Collar JSK, 2010

100% party dress. Bought this from a person who quit lolita fashion. It's unshirred and I have had it altered at a tailor to extend the part around my ribs a few centimeters. Now it fits like a dream.

Note to self, old AP with no shirring is always 2 cm to tight to be comfy. And I do like to breathe.

Little Bear's Cafe OP, 2010

Also one of my most worn dresses 2020. It's really comfy. Never thought I would own this as the print is quite busy. Alas it's busy in a good way!

Angelic Pretty, Classical drape, 2008

This it it. The perfect tea party brag.
Bought with a broken zipper so it's awaiting a repair.
An exclusive store-only piece.

Angelic Pretty, Pastel Fairy, 2008

Bought this for cheap as gamble due to it being in bad condition. Restored it and it's very cute for casual wear.

Angelic Pretty, Powder rose chest ribbon jsk , 2010

It took so long to hunt down this dress in this specific cut. I can't wait to coord this this summer.

Angelic Pretty. Dressed Up Doll Set (Omekashi Doll Set), Lucky pack, 2013
Another princess type dress. Downside is that it gets wrinkly really easy.

Metamorphose Antique rose special set (without the special things lol), 2020
A cute dress featuring birds and roses

Angelic Pretty, Rose Princess doll, 2007
The back of this dress have cute ribbons. Can't wait to wear it to my next meetup-

Angelic Pretty, Pure heart lucky pack, 2020
Super cute LP dress :D

White and beige

Angelic Pretty, Honey Cake, 2019
I wear this a lot, but it's to big for me so I often style this with a top. Unpopular opinion: I would like to have the old measurements and a poly re-realese.
I have the matching socks in the mail currently. Really strange that Angelic Pretty decided realese them now and not at the same time as the MTO?
Update: They did a jsk re-realese in the worst time as I had already bought other items lol.

Angelic Pretty Toy drops, 2012

Bought this of a blogger that I used to follow. She quit the fashion, sadly, and now I have the dress.

Angelic Pretty, Cameo Window, 2014
I have all the things that belong to this dress, it's just a hassle to assemble the drawstring after washing lol. The print features French landmarks and I love it :D

Baby the stars shine bright, Alice in fun fair, 2008
They say fourth time is the charm, right?
I literally bought this dress 4 times before I finally managed to get it. (Postal office screw up, shopping service being to slow, and seller stopped to reply ugh)
This is one of the first lolita dresses I saw in a magazine and I fell in love with the style. I love going to amusement parks so it just fits me so well.

Pretty Rock, baby, Snow deer, 2018(?)

First dress from a Chinese brand called "Pretty rock, baby". Quality is so-so. Cute deers in the snow and a "fur"-like border. In hindsight I should have gone for the "normal" waist instead of the high-waisted one. Live and learn.

Angelic Pretty, wrapping cherry(?), 2016

Bought this secondhand and this might be a sample/QC dress/oddment item jsk. It have the right lace and everything. But I don't know any known replica of this dress :/

Angelic Pretty, Dress up, 2008

Old Angelic Pretty solid OP. It's in velveteen with a detachable apron. Reminds me of a fluffy cake.

Angelic Pretty Marchen Ribbon OP, 2011.
I think this is such a cute name. Marsherande rosetter.

Angelic Pretty, Little Lady or Lacy lady, 2012
I wanted this for my prom or graduation dress back when I was in high-school. Let's just say it was over my budget haha. I got a smiliar dress but I wanted this one at the back of my head. Found a girl in the UK who sold it to me a few years later <3. She replaced the buttons from the original white to black ones and I just think it looks better this way. First button says "cabbages and roses" which is a vintage brand. I just thought it was a silly detail!
And looking upon the tag it says "sample", so the ribbon is different from the official realese. Feels good to own one-of-a-kind-item!

Little Fox and Folding Fan, Tailor Bunny, 2019(?)

I LOVE foxes. So this print was a given. I have matching kimono like sleeves for this dress. I'm still unsure if Wa-Lolita is for me.

Fabric is nicely heavy with structure and I'm very pleased with how it fits. Belt is adjustable with corset shirring. I just don't have much experience in stying this sub-style.

Angelic Pretty, Fruity lemon, LP 2020
