Advice to new seamstresses/new lolitas who cant afford brand

[avant_gauche]

I've been thinking about this for quite some time, I regularly watch the sew loli comm and naming no names some of the garments arent what they could or sholud be too many makers are making simple mistakes. An email I recived from a concerned newbie lolita and a recent message on ask_a_lolita   prompted me to write a little guide for new seamstresses/new

Hi hi~

I realize that you don't want to name any names, but I would just like to say that if anything you were saying in that first paragraph was pertaining to anything that I have made, please let me know what it is that I can do better, because I would like to improve anything I am doing wrong. So please don't hesitate to call me out on it!

I wasnt talking about your work which is actually nicely made

I like this. Hopefully, the newbies will have a better grasp of how to go about sewing. I still find it hard to give a straight answer if I don't know their sewing skills to begin with.

Though, I do have my bad days too. >.>

WOW!

Yours was a site I found searching for help and I'd just like to thank you for some great advice! I'm into the Punk and Ouji-sama styles I wonder if there could be posts about those? I am just being introduced to Lolita fashion so I might not have noticed a Punk piece but many the sites you suggested seemed like good places for Sweet, Country, and Classic Lolita...am I wrong?

I think an article like this is a wonderful idea, especially for beginners (like me!). I'm looking forward to seeing Avant Gauche up and running again! :)
