Trying Out Wearing a Binder with Lolita Fashion

I got my first binder this week!! I was way more excited about than I realized I would be! I accidentally wore it for a bit longer than a beginner user of a binder probably should. I loved what it did for my silhouette in Lolita fashion. Due to my bust which is now 43” and a 36I, I often have trouble getting the bottom heavy silhouette and can make it the most attention grabbing part of my outfit even when I don’t want it to be. Here’s an example of one of the outfits I wore recently with my binder

My binder doesn’t make my chest flat by any means but it did make my blouse fit better and not have that annoying gap. I think my current one may be slightly big since I took the advice and erred on ordering a bigger size for safety’s sake. I hope the smaller one I have in the mail will work well for cosplay.

I got the GC2B tank binder and it was surprisingly comfortable, I’m also really happy I took the advice of going to a commercial safe binder instead of trying a diy method which would have been very unsafe.

Wearing this binder made it feel like I could make my body less of the focus and the clothing more of the main attraction, I will say to be safe since my first time wearing it I liked it so much I accidentally wore it a little longer than I should have.

Happy New Year!!!! | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I want to write more on this blog this year! Far too many of my favorite blogs I read when I first joined lolita fashion have been disappearing and I feel traditional blogging is an important part of our subcultures history.

One of these blogs is what I am pulling from for many of my posts this year! I plan on participating in the 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge from Lace a la mode!

Without further ado!!! My goal for my wardrobe this year is to get some leg wear!! I have pretty well filled out getting blouses and shoes this year however I am still lacking quite a bit in the leg wear department. I have recently acquired cream and white knee socks but at the moment it is all that is workable in my wardrobe. I have a bad tendency of losing socks

I also want to get better at caring for my clothes overall, it’s something that I struggle a lot with. Hopefully that will make it so I lose less of my socks going forward, I use to have a pretty full collection of ankle socks before I lost the majority of them.
