Every lolita fashion season ever: XXX Brand's newest print! Available in Pink, Sax, White, and Black. YYY Brand's newest print! Available in Pink, Sax, White, and Black. ZZZ Brand's newest print! Available in Pink-- you get the picture. Though all dresses are different and appeal to different people, the truth of the matter is brands often repeat the same colour schemes over and over in their designs. It's not a bad thing- they are popular colour ways and appeal to many people. But today, I'd like to talk about the most underrated colours in Lolita fashion- the ones that rarely pop up in catalogs, but none the less have an elegant appeal to them. The first colour I'd like to bring out of the closet is Grey. It's cool, reserved, and contrasts nicely with black or white. It also makes an adorable tartan, twill or pinstriped textile. Accessories with hints of red or gold match very nicely. A Moi-Meme-Moitie Jsk, with black tulle and flocking for contrast A Flasco coordinate, most likely Miho Matsuda or Excentrique. The grey pinstriped suit looks smart with a contrasting black blouse and bright silver buttons. Metamorphose's "Sherlock" Jsk set, sold with complimenting black items and pearl accessories. Though shown as a set coordinate here, the neutral grey tartan is quite versatile. The next underrated colour is one of my favourites- Blue! All through my lolita "life", I had experimented with lighter hues of pink, cream, lavender... and wasn't fully satisfied with how it looked on my skin tone. But last year, I started trying on deeper colours like Navy blue, and it balanced out the red in my skin tone nicely. Blue looks nice with almost any colour, especially gold, red, or green. I think it is classic and maidenly, but also strong, and almost regal. It looks nice as cotton, but even more majestic in rich textiles like velvet or taffeta. Metamorphose's "Pintuck Jsk" looks perfect in this deep navy. Atelier Pierrot's deeper indigo dress, contrasted with black, white, and sax blue accessories. This dress by Victorian Maiden is in a lighter navy colour. It would be nicely complimented by rose pink accessories for a warmer spring look. The next colour is Green. I like it for mostly the same reasons I love blue. It comes in many shades, from warm sage to deep emerald. It can be a light spring hue or a deep ivy. Even though it's more reserved than red, or pink, I think it's shyness is its strong point. A velvet jumperskirt with gold embroidery, by Moi-Meme-Moitie. Metamorphose's "Dolly crown" velvet Jsk, with embroidery and pearl accents. A warmer sage dress by Juliette et Justine, with a matching top hat in deep green. The last colour I'd like to praise is Rose Pink. Normally, I don't like pink at all, unless it is this specific shade of pink. I've heard it called "dusty" pink before, but I feel that name doesn't do it much justice. It is such a delicate pink, it is almost neutral, which is why it goes well with a surprising range of colours. I especially like it with black, brown, or burgundy. Since it is such an unassuming colour, but kicks up the intensity of other colours, I think Rose Pink is the most underrated colour! A Flasco coordinate. I believe the bolero is by Innocent World. The rose pink blouse transforms the look of this gothic Atelier Pierrot Jsk. Rose pink ties in the colours of the rose corsages, once again transforming the outfit. It makes the "gothic" Atelier Pierrot skirt look demure and Springy. I hope you enjoyed my post, and maybe will be inspired to try these new colours in your wardrobe someday.

A: A human hair wig is longer lasting, soft and feels natural to the touch. It can be styled and dyed just like your own hair and "breathes" so your scalp won't perspire as much underneath. But human hair wigs need to be styled after every wash, and are more expensive because of its limited supply. A synthetic hair wig is easy to care for without requiring styling after washing, and is less expensive than human hair. However, it cannot take high temperatures, meaning it cannot be styled with an iron, and has a shorter lifespan if you wear it every day. Q: What is Capless / None Lace Wig Cap? A:Capless wigs are constructed with solid lace tops and open rows of wefts on the sides and back to create improved ventilation. If you've grown weary under heavy and warm wigs, traditional capless wigs are a great option. This flexible open cap design offers positive benefits to wig wearers: More room for airflow Lightweight and breathable design Improves overall comfort Q: Can I use low heat to style my wig? A: Yes, our wigs are heat friendly. We suggest the heat below 300° Fahrenheit (149° Celsius) to avoid damaging the fibers. You can heat it with regular heat styling tools (hair dryer temperature is the best choice). Q: How long can I expect this wig to lasts? A: The life of the wig depends on how you use and care it. If kept well, it can last for about 6 months to one year. How do I wear my wig for the first time? A: Remove wig from the plastic bag. Gently remove the protective hair net from your wig. Give your wig a few good shakes to separate the fibres to give some body to the hair. Some wigs need to be shaken to release the pre-set styling. Brush your hair away from your face and secure a wig cap in place, tucking in any extra hair. Hold your wig at the sides with the woven label in back. Place it at your natural hairline and slide it on from front to back. Adjust the wig as needed so the front edge is just over your natural hairline. Use the ear tabs to centre your wig from left to right. If the wig is too tight undo the hooks at the base of the neck and try again. If the wig is too loose move the hook up a level and retry the wig - repeat until comfortable. Tuck in any stray hairs at the front, sides and nape. Use a soft brush to style. How do I store my wig? A: The best way to store your wig is on a wig stand. Not only does this help prevent your wig from becoming tangled or flat between wearing, it also helps to maintain your wigs style and shape. Ideally, your wig should be stored in a clean, dry place, away from dust and sources of high heat or flame. If you do not have a wig stand always store your wig turned inside out and place it in a shoe box or similar. How to Measure

Victorian reenacting is catching on, whether you're a Civil War enthusiast or a Dickens lover. People are bringing back some really lovely old-fashioned styles of the mid-Victorian era. But there are one or two "fashions" of the Victorian era that never really existed - and I hate to say it, but the wearing of snoods is one of them. Now before y'all get excited, let me assure you that I know how handy they are. Snoods cover your hair so you don't have to do anything to it. You can even show off your favorite color with your snood. You can even make a fashion statement with a snood. But if you've done any research into authentic Victorian hairstyles, these pictures are making you say what I said: OW! Not that Victorian ladies didn't keep their hair contained. But they first put their hair up, then contained it... and the "container" (if any) was a very fine hairnet or a highly elaborate ribbon net. Of course, if she went out she probably wore a bonnet, regardless of whether she also had a net. But authentic bonnets are expensive. So are hair extension pieces, which many ladies with modern haircuts need. So what is a reenacting lady to do if she wants a nice covering for her hair? First, know that the front of your hair will show. So always part it in the center and smooth it down. If you have bangs, you can use hair gel or hair spray (or both!) to make both sides lay nicely. Sometimes rolling your hair back can also be a good way to contain short hairs. Next, if your hair is long enough, put the back up into a bun. 1860s buns tended to be in the low-middle portion of the head, not high up like the later 1870s-80s styles. If you hair is not long enough for a bun, put some hair gel or hair spray on it to keep it smooth and in place. Finally - the covering! In another post, I will cover proper bonnets and hats for the Civil War era. But for now, let's focus on the types of nets that were used. Hairnets of the 1860s were either a fine thin net, or a beautiful thick woven net made of silk ribbon or silk chenille. A pretty band was often attached to the net across the top which included braided or ruched ribbon, flowers, beads, or lace. Nets in the 1860s were not the thick crocheted nets of the 1950s. Have you ever noticed that many ladies in 1860s photos appear to have some kind of ripple across the top of their head? It's not usually a braid - it's the ribbon band on their hair net. If you don't know how to create one of these nets yourself, you can often find them at sutler's tents at reenactments. My mom has some lovely ones in her Etsy shop. This is me wearing one I snitched from her stash! :) I mentioned the ribbon and chenille nets - here are some original pictures of them. Isn't this chenille hair piece absolutely adorable? I'm going to make one for myself one of these days! This is a ribbon hairnet and yes, those are cute little bees on it! Obviously, with all the beautiful gold and ribbon work on this one, it's meant to be an evening headdress. Wouldn't you look dramatic in this? And here is my mom, wearing one of those evening ribbon nets, along with a comb and some lovely flowers and ribbons to dress it up. Doesn't she look glamorous? (Just a little secret - my mom's hair is very short! She wears a false bun under her net for evening wear, and she wears a lace cap for day wear!) So that's the scoop on hairnets! If anyone's interested in a blog on how to do hair, let me know and I may do a post on that in the future. For now... here's a cute picture I took at a recent ball. Even the best designed hairstyle may need a little help from a girlfriend occasionally - here's Mom helping my sis with her hair piece. Isn't that cute?
