Lolita elements database
Hello everyone!
I’m not a lolita, but I really love the look of classical lolita. Because I would like to incorporate lolita elements into my sewing, I made my own lolita elements database.
I went through all of the dresses and skirts of Mary Magdalene, Innocent World and several other smaller brands on Lolibrary. I saved the ones I liked, broke them down to their smallest possible elements (button placket decorations, collar types, hemlines, skirt surface decoration types, …) and deleted the doubles. After that I drew them on several pages. This allows me to throw the proverbial dart at each page, combine them and end up with a complete dress.
My other main interest is Edwardian fashion, so not every element here comes from lolita. It’s also only what I like, and not an exhaustive list (lol imagine)
I made this for myself, but perhaps y'all might benefit from my project too! I scanned the pages (with my very bad scanner), cleaned them up and translated all the Dutch. Hopefully Tumblr won’t resize them too much.
Enjoy! :)
HOly cow that’s a lot of work! This is super cool. Everyone check it out.
Just a quick reblog here to share this once again. This is an incredibly cool resource that someone hand-drew. If you are working on a design and are needing some help filling in a small detail, this is a really cool work of art to help.
