So I have gotten somewhere with my handmade Lolita dress. More on Lolita see
here.
I got some great input and criticism from the
New Zealand livejournal Lolita community, which was fantastic and I now know what to look for next time I make a dress.
I'm very proud of my first attempt and will try more in the future.
I also found a better camera to use as you can see. XD
