Photos of IDD looks from the Otakon show!

Hey Everyone! I wanted to share these AMAZING photos from the show with you~!
They are all courtesy of Photographer Stacey Besst! All credit for these fantastic shots goes to her (just comment here and I can email you her contact info)




A few of my favorite pieces all together as an outfit! The Unicorn skirt is something you can commission me to make as is the blouse!This is the female version of the Cheshire cat outfit from Dances of Vice! Possibly one of my favorites!

You have all seen this dress before! But now it's accompanied by a straw bonnet.

This was a mixing of a few looks from the Dances of Vice show! I like how it came out.

Pink rococo ensemble: Saque backed dress and three tiered underskirt.




Bianca looks so stunning in this outfit~! I absolutely adore her~!
More items in this knight fabric will be available. . . it's going to be a key feature in my winter line this year.

Thank you all for reading!

Otakon

Otakon went fantasticly~! Thank you so much to everyone who came to see the Lolita fashion show! I think despite a few problems it went really well! I don't have any good pictures from the show yet but here are a few of my outfits (head to ankle IDD)
Thursday was a super casual day: My favorite hat and unicorn skirt and an old mens shirt that I chopped apart and turned into my new favorite button down
Friday was the fashion show ( pic impending) and i didn't get a shot of my outfit

Saturday was pirate day for me~! So I wore my new Rococo gown bustled up over an IDD underskirt topped off with as many pearls as I could fit around my neck.

Saturday night I wandered around in manly pirate attire (this is a look from the IDD fashion show~!)

And Sunday I decided to do a little twist on sailor lolita and make it 1770's Naval lolita~! Pirates beware~! Once again it's all IDD items except for my shoes~!

Thanks again to everyone involved in the show and everyone who came to see it~!

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!

+ 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)
