Reminder about Lolita Day!

Happy Loli day everyone! I wanted to remind anyone in the NYC area again that I'll be doing a panel with Zoh of Morigan NYC today at the Kinokuniya bookstore on 6th ave between 40th and 41st streets!

The give away is going to be epic! Zoh has hand embroidered a tote with her signature Raven print and I'm offering up a Brand new I Do Declare skirt in my new favorite fabric!

I hope to see you there!

New item heads up~!

Hey everyone! I'm happy to introduce a new pattern to I Do Declare! What do you think? I wanted to make something really light and easy for people to wear in summer.. . so often lolita is a real pain when it gets hot outside. It's made out of and lined with a very light cotton lawn. It may become my signature fabric this season beacause of how breezy it is!


A collar detail shot. I'm falling back in love with pintucks! And Snazzy buttons. . . and really soft grosgrain ribbon.
And here it is in action! This dress will be available in a few different prints on my etsy within a few days! It's also available for commission(though message on etsy) in the fabric of your choice! Sadly right now I can only make it in two sizes (bust: 35 waist: 28 and bust: 37 waist: 30) I'm working on drafting patterns for larger sizes though!

I hope you like it!

Lolita day at Kinokuniya~!

Hey everyone! I've got fun news for those in the NYC area!
I'll be doing a presentation about sewing (and starting a brand) for the western lolita on June 5th!

Lots of other lolitas I really admire will be giving presentations and taking questions as well:
+ Zoh of Morigan NYC whom I'm always in awe of
+Dalin of La Vida frills who has spectacular taste in movies
+ Crystal of Pretty Wonderland who is absolutely adorable
+ Victoria of Lolita charm with her perfect pink curls!

I'm super excited to be a part of this with so many people I admire!

If you're around the city that day stop by Kinokuniya on 6th ave and 41st st to say hi to us! There is also a raffle going on where you can win some sweet prizes! Including something from I Do Declare~! (i promise it won't be lame)

In other news I'll be updating the shop with new items soon~!

F Yeah Lolita~!

A little while ago I was interviewed by the lovely Miss Caro-chan of F*** Yeah Lolita!
I'm part of her 'Lolitas who break the mold' series (it's my hatred of knee-socks XD)

She runs a fantastic blog and I'm always looking forward to her next entry! You should absolutely check it out <3
