First worn: Anime Expo 2015
OMGOMGOMG. My husband had been teasing me with this one since the first news of this anime was released because SANRIO. LOLITA. KITTY. IDOL. With dark blue hair, and a pink heart shaped guitar. It’s like it was made for me. I was SO excited when this show finally started airing that I started on my outfit immediately! This show is seriously cute, every bit as cute as I’d hoped.
I wanted my outfit to look like something an authentic Lolita brand would make, so I used sateen and took my time with the details. I made the top as a lined jacket with an attached yoke, although I realized later after looking at the official Putumayo version that it is actually a sweater over a blouse. I have seen Lolita dresses with a yoke like this though, so that was my inspiration. Also, this version of the outfit has way more ruffles than the anime version. The ruffles took me FOREVER, especially since the thick double layers of sateen were hard to gather. I’m really happy with how it turned out though!
