Erikari’s 2025 Lolita Wardrobe post

Yup, I got my hands on another piece of this print series. I think this is the ultimate form for this print, it's perfect and I love how it looks on me! Underbusts have my heart. The fabric is also different from the other JSK I have, it feels more trustworty, like it will break less, and I love the feel of it.

I adore this print in all its colorways and shapes. All the little details, all of it, is just so cute and straight out of a delicate fairytale. Last year this dress became a meme in our comm cause there were two people hunting for it, they were both bidding for the same dress, it was quite funny! At last we all got what we wanted, so we're planning a meet where everyone wears this print series!

I know what you are thinking. Erika! There is some pink! Didn't you swear you hated pink? Your honor, I could not resist the cute strawberries, plus! The ribbons are actually a more orange-ish pink so it doesn't clash with my yellow/olive complexion. I adore this dress.

It has stripes, strawberries, blue, and red, poofy sleeves and a round collar, we were meant to be. Too bad it arrived with lots of severly understated snags, but I managed to repair most of them best I could.

Ok this combines teaware, cherries and strawberries! How cute is that! Also thanks to this outfit a meme was born, as it was the first time I wore the minihat properly and we got tons of ideas for silly reels.

This skirt is quite good to wear in summer, it has a built-in petti, and it's very light. Also, since it arrived damaged, I put my heart to rest and I wear it without fear a bit more casually. It even has pockets, something I didn't realize until much later!!

I think I'm close to graduating this dress at last. I still think it is the epithome of country with the gingham pattern, but with the fact that it is so large on me, if I ever find something similar and that fits, I might let this one go at last.

I got this skirt at the Bring and Buy in Vienna, and it has several stains so it was super cheap! I love how it's so busy that the stains are hard to see. It has a built in petticoat and it's so cute! I hope to get more occasions to wear it this year. It's such a cute battle skirt!

I admit I didn't realize the base was pink or I would have skipped this dress. But the print is so cuuuute! I mostly wear it without the pink bib in its underbust form, I put it on for the wardrobe pics. Of course I don't have a matching blouse in pink or sax.

Found this after the other one, the material is sturdier in comparison. The person who sent it to me claimed it to be a very beloved skirt, so beloved it was sent in a shoebox with openings and it arrived all dirty. The closure was also moved to be larger in a bit of a messy job. Dry cleaner did what it could. It's a very long skirt, which generally looks bad on me, so I'm pondering on what to do with it. But I couldn't resist the print.

There aren't enough dog prints in lolita that aren't poodles or corgis! I love dogs, I love BIG dogs. This print had a variety of them, so I'm preparing a coord to match with Luna, my dog! Only pain point is that I overpaid for a dress that was supposed to be a collection piece and arrived full of stains, stinky and with all the elastics loose so I'm slowly trying to repair it myself Q.Q you can't always trust Mercari.

Dream dress acquired in my favorite colorway and in perfect condition! I love it sooo much. I love the blue of the sky, and all the little houses remind me of the buildings in Warsaw from the old city, which I loved when I was a child and still do love dearly. I love the little hearts in the sky, I love the dove bringing hearts around. This print is so hopeful and bright and happy. The fabric is also quite nice.

I got this before the other colorway popped out, I'm a bit bummed out by the state it arrived in, all stained, smelly under the armpits, yellowed, and covered in dirt and hairs. I definitely overpaid for it and I'm sad it was in a bad shape, a print this pretty doesn't deserve it. Dry cleaning couldn't get the stains out but at least it's not as dirty anymore. I want to keep it at least for twinning.

It's a carousel of animals full of flowers!! I know there's other carousel prints out there that are much more famous and preferred by other people, but to me only this one hits just right. And the underbust cut is especially cute. Plus it has red! I was sworn to fall for this print the moment I set my eyes on it.

Remember how last year I couldn't find this dress on lolibrary? I have hunted it down on the web archive and added it to lolibrary myself! I'm quite proud of myself for succeeding in doing this. It's comfy, light, and overall versatile.

This dress is a bit long for my taste, but I love the classic look of it. I'm crazy for the collar part, and I think I got the best colorway for it. I don't know how to describe it, but It feels very close to the ideal of lolita that I'm aiming for.

I got this beauty from a lovely person! It strikes my vibes so well that I think I'm ready to sell a couple other dresses I got trying to find something like this. I hope to wear it many times this year! The epithome of classic, and with stripes in red and blue, and a cute peter pan collar, so perfect!

The print on this dress is exquisite, I love all of its details. The dress can work well as a casual piece as well as fit a voluminous petticoat, so it got me doing creative pairings. The outer fabric is especially silky to the touch in a way. Truly pleasant!

This dress has been the protagonist of some shenanigans such as rotating petticoats on the dancefloor. I'm usually not fond of random text over prints, but the other details are all very nice!

This baby is a lucky find from randomly browsing goofish. I am longing more and more for flower patterns, and as always I can't say no to an underbust dress. I love how elegant it is, and I especially like the flower pattern despite the fact that it is grey.

My first Mary Magdalene dress! Very light and summery, I wore it a lot in sumer this year. Comfortable, well constructed, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I ended up doing. I'm quite happy with it!

Of the 4 different colorways of this dress, I ended up keeping these two. We did make a big twinning group last year, and I was so happy!

I kept these colorways because I loved their fabric the best compared to the others, and I ended up having more occasions to wear these.

This dress is such a comfortable, breezy, long flowery piece in my wardrobe. I also like to wear it casually with no petticoat in the summer. It's constructed really well and fits like a glove.

Got this OP to match with my friend who has it in the grey version. Will we ever wear it and twin together? It didn't happen this year yet. Still, it's very comfortable, soft, and has two deep pockets and very cute details.

The lace on this dress is simply incredible. The ribbon on the front is also very pretty. I love this dress cause it's very elegant and refined without overdoing it. It also basically needs no ironing.

I still can't believe I have one of the holy grails of lolita in my hands. The ribbon it arrived with wasn't its original one, so while I'll look for something to replace it with, I'm using one from the IW dresses I have. Also this is probably the dress that fits me the best, just like a glove, and it has so much room for a petti underneath! I'm in love.

We did a group order and I got this lovely dress in it, it has two deep pockets, it's in pure cotton, and it's simply great. I love it!

I used to have the skirt only in navy, now I have the set in red, yay! I can't wait to coord the bustier with other skirts too!

I had the incredible honor to meet Alice Kobayashi in person, and touch with these two hands the collection that was brought for the event in Brescia 2024 Il Palazzo delle Bambole. The fabric of this has a delicate pattern, and the dress has a pocket!

Until I get IW Clara OP, I'll keep searching for ways to fill the void with blue dresses. This is a patch to that void. I also got the matching apron for that full Alice look. It's a cute dress that can also be worn casually without the apron, I ended up wearing it and liking it more I would have initially thought.

A gingham dress in sax and by IW is like a dream! It has the vibes of The Wizard of Oz like this, it's so adorable! I wore it in summer and I can't wait to wear it again many times!

This colorway seems to be pretty rare nowadays, I don't think I have seen someone else with it (I wanted inspo!). I got it from someone who has basically launched lolita in Italy, so it's a great honor. I would still love to have also the more common/popular red colorway, but I've been longing for mint for such a long time, I am really happy with it.

Lovely, adorable, lightweight, breezy piece. I wore it quite a bit in the summer. Machine washable, cute, truly a lovely summer piece!

Innocent World - UV Cut Stripe Sailor OP in Sax 2013

I feel like I got a very obscure item from 2013 since this colorway isn't even on lolibrary! I adore it, the fabric is very light and doesn't need to be ironed. It is the cutest sailor dress!

I have a huge soft spot for sailor dresses, and especially the way Innocent World interprets them. I got this OP together with another one, by total chance, causally spotting them on LaceMarket. A perfect summer dress, as the fabric not only is very light and transpiring, it also doesn't stay sweaty for long!

This is like the epithome of sailor lolita to me. perfect color, perfect cut, I got this colorway after trying the ivory one, I am obsessed with it!

Innocent World - Anchor Charm OP in Ivory 2014

This OP has a super flattering cut! and is likely one of the very few IW dresses to feature a pocket unfortunately. It has a tiny sparkly anchor charm on the bow which gives the name. Lightweight and transpiring, it's another lovely summery sailor dress.

It was only time until I'd get a red sailor dress by IW. I am actually still waiting to receive this, so I will update the description once I actually have it.

I got this dress at one of our comm's swap meets from a historic lolita who left the fashion. this one too is missing the bow, what's with Whyteleafe owners and not keeping bows? I'm mlooking for a replacement now.

The simplest underbust dress from IW I own, I love it. It's easy to wear it casually or make it elegant, it has a crossed back, and it's simply cute. I don't think I'll ever let go of this piece for its potential also outside of lolita and how flattering it is.

This dress feels so academic! The above is my favorite coordination with it. (IW headdress and the necktie stolen from another gray dress) It's classic and elegant and a statement without being too much, so it's quite wearable.

I got this dress from a lovely person on vinted. At first I didn't really like the shape given by the two huge pockets, but it has grown a bit on me. The collar area is very open, which paired with the long sleeves makes it a bit hard to coord for the weather.

Another splendid IW piece from 2012. Since I got it second hand from Vinted and it had a slight feel of wear, it allows me to just wear it without worrying too much about using it, and so I use it a lot, also casually!

I'm not sure I ISOd this dress correctly, but it looks exactly like it EXCEPT for the collar, and there's no other version of this on lolibrary. This dress is DIVINE. It has a feeling of wear now, but it's so simple, so comfortable, so pretty. I love it.

This dress is still very beloved and cherished, I think I appreciate more not finding the red version of it now, as the blue is likely more wearable casually. And it has a pocket!

I got this skirt before finding the one next to it, because I was trying to fill the void of red with white polka dots. I like how it has these intricate details and I also like the built in petticoat!

I got this skirt from the same person I got French Dot Dream from, and the void is filled. To be honest a part of me will always want a red polka dot dress, but I think it's easier to wear in ways that don't associate you immediately with Minnie at least!

Ultra damaged piece, it has two huge discoloration stains on the cape and on the bottom side of the dress plus several small stains scattered all over. I have washed it multiple times, dry cleaned it, used several methods to also get rid of other problems this one had. Now it's a (very elegant) battle dress.

I actually was looking for the green version of this, but the green has pink ribbons and I dislike pink. So I think this dress is perfect for me! The collar is a weird situation. I love it but it makes it so that if you wear a blouse you have two collars. I also happened to have matching Calzedonia socks! I can't wait to wear it for a meet or a day out.

A truly enchanting piece, surprisingly higher waisted than I would have expected, but I cannot resist a book themed dress that even has stripes and is red! It came also with the same headdress the model wears in the photoshoot, so lucky! I think I might switch this for the underbust version if I can find it.

I adore this dress, I've been wearing it a lot this winter, it's great for quirky casual wear and otome, and just to have an elegant look but not too OTT. And it has two pockets!

A gorgeous JSK, but a bit butchered. It's missing corset lacing, the belt, and I just noticed the previous owner ripped the buttons out. But it looks sturdy and it will be loved.

A dream dress, unfortunately a size too big, and I overpaid for it, but I wanted it greatly. Because the size is wrong but the condition is amazing, I'd like to find it in my size and resell this one, so I'm a bit afraid to use it and ruin it.

I received it in terrible condition, with all the shirring in the back completely ruined, I had it repaired and it's now a nice staple piece. Simple but classy. It is quite a sturdy and reliable piece! Thanks to kana-palu for helping me ISO this dress!

I don't wear crosses, so I thought it would be impossible for me to fint something to wear from this brand. This is the glitch in the matrix, one of the few Moitié pieces that has no crosses, but just roses instead! I got it at the bring and buy in Vienna, and I loved to discover its story through instagram, I feel like I truly have a piece of history with this one.

I got this mainly to twin with people in my comm, and what convinced me was the underbust cut, which is only available in black, so black it is! My comm is growing to be more gothic, so I think it's good to have a few more pieces like this to shuffle for those themed meets.

A perfect skirt. It's missing the belt but it might be better this way. Perfect length for me, poofy, cute, pockets, casual but quirky to the perfect degree.

Short dress with a built-in petticoat. It has a big cute bow in the back. The person who sold this decided to separate the set and sold the headdress before I bought the JSK, too bad. But I'm happy I found a hat to pair it with! I often wear this one for casualwear as it's super cute and extra comfortable over many hours.

I got this one with the other long sleeved Angelica. This one has a much lighter cotton fabric, perfect for summer, and I have worn it quite several times, often casually! I wasn't too sold on the huge pockets, but they are awfully convenient to go through vintage markets and carry stuff in summer.

I wasn't sure about getting this dress, I had to be convinced actually, but I'm glad I got it! It's simple, but has amazing details near the collar. I love musical themes! Would have adored the wine version of this, or even better, the short sleeves version.

A cute piece I got from a dear Italian lolita! I am waiting for this to arrive in the mail.

This skirt had an unfortunate accident in transit, as the seller put it unprotected together with unsealed candies, which of course with humidity and all stained it on the belt, it also arrived all sticky. The dry cleaner couldn't remove the stains, (which are on the sides, no not really visible here). I'll try to wear it sometime, maybe covering it with a shirt.

This beauty is a lucky comm sale I got! It's in fantastic condition, can fit a roomy petticoat and it has amazing lace details. The fabric is a bit heavy, the shape, majestic. I have worn this in several combinations last year and had quite some fun with it.

Well, I caved. I always I thought if I had to have an old school piece, I wouold really have fancied this OP in white or sax. I of course knew it from Kamikaze Girls, but I fell in love with it by seeing the white colorway in person from an attendant at the Divina Commedia EGL event in Rome. The details of the fabric! I also love that it feels a bit worn, so I'm slightly less worried of wearing it. I am not really sure if the year is correct, but the person I got it from said it was a release without the headdress, and it has lining. I couldn't find a product number, so my best guess is this.

I got this because I love the dress model and wanted a white lightweight summer dress to also wear casually or with a corset. Can't wait to find an occasion to wear it!

This one was advertised as Ista Mori, but the tag said Beaver Duke, I'm unsure which is it! I got everything: the JSK, blouse, headscarf, rectangular headdress, necklace, and then I forgot to order the matching apron! Luckily the website still had some, so it's coming in the mail now.

This is the coord that made me realize I could and wanted to wear lolita fashion. Took me two years to hunt down also the hat which was sold out in all the reseller websites but then I managed to find the taobao shop. I'm so satisfied. The details are beautiful and it feels like walking out of a Victorian novel when I wear it. It also has pockets!

Miss Point - Elizabeth OP set

I wore this for the first teaparty I attended last year, in February! I missed the first preorder, so I'm very happy I found a reseller that had it. I think this will be my "important teaparty" dress.

Very cute and comfortable skirt, quite roomy too! It's black, striped and has glittery pois! I wish I could ISO it.

Super short navy skirt by IW. It looks plain the front, but the back has some nice poofy details. I wear it in summer in casual contexts and I generally pair it with this Axes Femme cutsew that is much more intricate to balance the plainness of the front.

A moment of praise for the seller on vinted who sold me the skirt, the cutsew and gifted me the big ribbon too. (that belongs to another cutsew).

The product number listed inside the washing tag did the trick to finally ISO this coat. It is missing the big bow in the front and the main colorway displayed was different which made it tricky to identify without it on lolibrary. This piece has holes in the lace and the bow inthe back is a pain, but it is warm and lovely, so it's ok!

This coat is the prettiest ever. It is warm, (90% wool!) and the details are really pretty. Since my partner got it for me as a gift last winter, I'm mostly wearing this! After all, I love wearing red.

This jacket has 4 pockets! It was my companion in the last winter, but lately I've work mostly the red one as it covers a little bit better. I'm sure it will make a great return again!

A jacket with a very cute back! Perfect for chilly weather.

Tomoyo's Atelier Capelet, double-sided.

It's super soft! I thought I'd use it more, but it turns out that when it's cold I prefer to dress with more covering pieces, and when it's hot it's too much to wear Q.Q I still didn't find a chance to use it.

Shoes

This year I tried to find shoes in colors I was missing, and also find a more everyday variation for the white ones. I am slowly destroying my favorite pairs, and some of the older ones are starting to peel, so likely I'll have to replace some of these next year.

Hats

I let go of several hats and got a few new ones compared to last year. I also made a mini chef hat!

Bags

I let go some bags which were ruined or which didn't fit my needs so I wasn't using them, and I got a few new bags. Recently, because I always carry a camera with a long stick, I have to use bigger bags or carry a tote, so I have been using totees from the events I have attended a lot more.
