So yup, the Sainte-Dolorès! Let me explain a bit too you : This event is like ''National Lolita Day'' here in Québec. We meet together and we have a tea party including photoshoots after. It is usually around june 11th.
Since I've never tried Lolita before, the past year tho' I just got more and more interested in this fashion.
***There is a thing I haven't tell you all. I already have tried the style. Indeed, when I wrote the entry about my Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert, I didn't talked about the day after, but Cadney took me to my real first lolita meeting. Obviously, I didn't had any lolita clothes or anything, so she lends me one of her dress and so many accessories! I still can't explain how much happy I was. It was like a dream come true. Cadney, I could never thank you enough for that! \(*///Σ///*)\ She introduced me to her friends in Toronto and we went eating at a cool restaurant. After that, we took a lot of pictures of course! So here it is, a picture at my first try wearing lolita, perfectly guided by the incredible Cadney <3 ***
All of this tho, happened a while ago. It was just an introduction to show you that I've been interested in wearing that style since then ahah. After my big discovery, I tried to buy myself a real lolita dress. I absolutely wanted a dress from Angelic Pretty to be my first dress ever. After looking at all the procedures to buy a dress, I mainly started to panic because I didn't understood all the basics. You have to use a shopping service to buy from AP or buying a second-hand dress through someone on the iternet. I wasn't really sure about the second option because I was afraid of buying a replica dress as my first dress ever or scared that something would go wrong with my package. Then, one of my friend from Montréal ( Mochi ) decided to sell one of her Angelic Pretty dress. I nearly fall in love with this dress and decided to buy from her. Not only it was less expensive because the dress was second-hand, but also I didn't have to pay any shipping fees. Plus, she is really someone I can trust and I knew she wouldn't sell a replica to me. After I saw the dress, I bought it for nearly half the original price! It was the perfect way to buy my first lolita dress ever.
Coming back to my first subject : Sainte-Dolorès. A lot of my lolita friends were going to this event and I got invited. Since I acquired myself a dress almost only for this occasion, I indeed wore it with pride and confidence. ｡^‿^｡ The event this year took place in a community center in Montréal. The look of the place wasn't really super chic but the organizers really tried hard to make it look cute. And they totally nailed that! We had a cute buffet with all kinds of sandwiches and good food. They hired people to make the food and it was really nice. The desert was my favourite part : They made macarons! I've never ever even saw this desert in front of my eyes. They were absolutely DELICIOUS! Of course, we also had cake and we played awesome games like ''The brand is right'' or ''Find the replica''. I didn't knew most of the answers but some of the girls looked like they were experts ahah. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ If I talk about my personnal experience with more details, I was there with Robin, the designer of Pinkly Ever After! Also, I found myself with Cadney and William, two really talented and nice friends of mine that are into lolita fashion /ouji style. Oh, not to forgot the awesome Criic Pastelbox, and so many other friends that I met there!
Finally, it is time for the great surprise!!! *Drum rolls please!* TADAAAAA. Me in my first Lolita dress ever! It's called Ribbon Ribbon JSK from Angelic Pretty. It as a dress from 2008! So old school ahah!
I am wearing my Pinkly Ever After blouse with the JSK. What do you think? I thought the colors were really nice together ahah. I am also wearing some basic Bodyline shoes (review coming soon) and Princess Crystal Ribbon in my hair, also from PEA. I bought my necklace at an artist table at the Otakuthon. As soon as I can find and remember her shop again I will give you the link, I promise! I am wearing light pink tights and offrband socks with everything. I tried to make the dress as puffy as possible, but the dress is really heavy! Like, it's all woolen and difficult to puff ahah. But hey, I tried! I think it still looks really nice （⌒//v//⌒）The picture was taken by the Mademoiselle Chèvre ( please check her website!)
And now, time for other pictures from the event!
