Hi everyone! ILD is tomorrow (Saturday, June 6, 2026), and since it's been such a long time and I'm feeling nostalgic for ye olden days, I thought I'd give you a little history about its origin in 2005.

Back then, I (as kittyhot) proposed a silly idea: what if we had a "holiday" where we all dress up in lolita fashion for no reason other than to potentially run into each other on the same day?

It was not yet popular to wear lolita fashion on an everyday basis. People mostly wore it on weekends or to meetups, so ILD was meant as an "excuse" to wear lolita fashion "for no reason."

I was also trying to recreate what I thought was happening in Harajuku on the Meiji Bridge at the time. I knew that many gosurori gathered there on Sundays to just hang out, so I thought if we all dressed up and hung out at a mall or something, we'd accidentally find each other. I'm so glad y'all did not take my advice.

Joining in on making wardrobe posts happen!! Also first ever LJ post lol ive been wearing lolita since 2018 so was never part of the LJ community in its prime but as a 2010s Sweet lolita i feel like i missed out a lot on not bwing part of the era. Anyway here is a chunk of my wardrobe, i mostly did the 2010s sweet angelic pretty section, please enjoy!!!

I love this set so much!! I bought is from a online store lolitaknot.com. Even though I keep waiting for almost two monthes, but when I got it, it is really brilliant and out of my expectation. I will wear it to a convention. It is so exciting!

An opportunity to show off older pieces and newer pieces! Could be in terms of release order or from when it arrived in you ^^

Hello all! I'm Mignonette/Royalsealy (he/him). Recently I've found myself nostalgic for the more forum driven format of the early internet days (even though I was mostly on neoboards lol) and I thought I would give this a shot!

Just a link to my blog post because it's just so much easier.
This years contribution includes a mannequin, and a new room with a purple wall! Huzzah!

Hey, there!
I've been nostalgic about lolita blogs and the ones I used to read years ago are not updated anymore.
Do you still have a lolita fashion blog? What kind of things you like writing about?
Please share your link, I'd love to read it!

Have a sweet day ♡

I'm feeling nostalgic today so thought I'd setup a new account and see if any of the oldies are still lurking. I stopped dressing lolita in 2009 (long story) and haven't really been interested since but I just saw a video of a band called self deconstruction and it all came flooding back!

I recently ordered my first Lolita dress off of Bodyline, I ordered EMS shipping but I would like to know how long it would take to arrive in California, I ordered the dress for a specific event on the 18th of march and ordered it on the 28th of February!
