Shojo Beat + Baby The Stars Shine Bright = <3
Whee! You get to see my cruddy drawings! Way back in October, Shojo Beat announced that they were going to give away a ton of BTSSB stuff -- it's the most awesome sweet lolita brand ever. The contest was to design your dream Lolita outfit. So, here's my design. Since BTSSB has had several story-lolita sets (The Wizard of Oz, Little Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella come to mind), I based mine off of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, one of my favorite books as a little girl. I took six scenes from the book and put them on the skirt of the dress surrounded by vines. There are roses and ruffles everywhere, but I tried not to use too much lace. The roses on her head are a comb meant to resemble a tiara.
I worked harder on this design than any other one, I think, because it's so detailed. I won't be able to make this (the scenes are embroidered and my machine can't do that) but I would love to wear it. I would love to hear some feedback! <3

Love that magazine I messed up the one time I forgot to get the next month of it one time and it had the last part of an anime move/two part of a total serious edited down.
Love your dress design some of the peaces on your dress could be done out of some of those classic clothing (vintage) sold at vintage clothing and Material stores, too many times I see stuff like that cut up to make expensive garbage sold on a sight where they sell all kinds of hand crafted things. I can’t seem to find the address or the name unfortunately or fortunately because how people destroy and then turn around and sell these peaces sickens me. Sorry about that but you have a nice eye on design, good luck on the contest.
Pooka, you should send it in! Cute food is so awesome. I love how Shojo Beat isn't just manga or Lolita or stuff, it also has recipes and how to draw and other cool stuff~.
