I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. The tail end of 2014 had me wishing I had spent more time in Lolita, so one of my New Years' resolutions for 2015 is to re-acquaint myself with Lolita Fashion .
In two years time I have failed to acquire a "working" wardrobe. I have have a few pieces but unfortunately they can't be coordinated into a proper Lolita outfit. So my first step is to build up my wardrobe.
I am a tall plus size Loli and while many brands do have options for tall plus sizes Lolis, at the moment my budget just doesn't have room for any brand shopping sprees, whether from well known or indies brands.
I have some experience sewing, and decided I will make my own basics i.e. bloomers, petticoat, underskirts, accessories.
To build my handmade wardrobe I've decided to start with the foundation garments: bloomers and petticoats (I will discuss petticoats in a separate post.)

Bloomers are an interesting garment in the Lolita world, they are not meant to bee seen, but everyone highly recommends wearing them for modesty. I wholeheartedly agree. They are essential for making sure there is no accidental mooning when the wind sweeps up our shirts.
Some Lolis go for traditional bloomers, with frills and even a bit of pouf to pump up their petticoats. Others opt for more comfortable pyjama shorts (which can be great in winter time if you get the flannel versions) or tight fitting bike shorts.
All three options are good, as long as the shorts are shorter than your skirt's hem you should be set.
But bloomers are undeniable the cuter option and of course are traditional.

I've always liked bloomers, they remind me of the historical fashions that inspired Lolita Fashion. I want to make at least few pairs bloomers in solid colors like; white, black, beige, brown, and pink.
