On occasions cardigans.<br />Physical drop has mutible sizings and long lengths.<br />Ergi & Piratessan<br />Dresses, but socks is nice for taller people.<br />Eat Me Ink me<br />Custom sizing, mutible lengths, cutsews, underskirts and the socks I have is machinewashable and fairly long.<br />Violet fane: the thights is great and can stretch to longer than written. Can't tell about her dresses.V.

Although I don't own any clothing pieces from either of these three, I have heard good things and AtePie and 3F regularly do fully shirred pieces, while 3F and PD do plenty of longer pieces as well. Oh, and Enchantlic Enchantilly also often do beautiful fully shirred pieces! And Mam Maxicimam is meant to be very good for plus size, as they carry a whole Lovely Size range intended for plus size lolitas. Oh, and Millefleurs have lots of fully shirred blouses, but whilst I keep eyeing them, I haven't actually bought one myself yet. (Haha, sorry, this is getting more disorganised by the minute!)<br />I also recommend Haenuli, although with a word of caution. Her full back shirred pieces regularly get "complaints" from people who have ordered their size to find it too large for them. (The one dress I own is actually a size S/M, but still has plenty of room left.) They offer a range of sizes, though like I said, their shirring tends to be on the generous side.<br />As far as legwear is concerned, I heard good stuff about Haenuli tights (though haven't been able to test that myself) and Enchantlic Enchantilly ones (I have a pair which did fit, but the waistband was lower than what I find comfortable and it was a little bit of a wiggle dance to get into them - and I mainly need sideways stretch for my thighs).<br />And then there are all the various Chinese brands offering custom size and a range of sizes and sometimes lengths. Although of those Soufflesong is the only one I know that still offers custom sizing on *some* of their pieces and they recently upped their custom size fee a little.<br />As far as actual plus size (so not so much for tall or broad framed) lolitas, Magical Girl Me has a range of very thorough reviews of the various places that she has shopped in, it's worth checking her blog out: http://www.magicalgirlme.com/lolita-fashion-blog As someone who is plus size, it's good to read/see reviews from someone who struggles with similar issues, as well as to see what the pieces she reviews look like on her frame for some extra context.<br />I'm also sure that there's something to be applied to lolita from the Western 'fashion tips for various body shapes' rules, but that could be a whole separate post on its own! Personally I found that I like lower waist cuts and that generally they can be flattering on people with larger busts (because even if the dress rides up because of boobs, the lower waist rising still sits nearer one's natural waistline than let's say a standard AP cut). And pear shaped lolitas might have it pretty easy, since smaller shoulders will fit most blouses whilst hips are invisible and irrelevant in lolita fashion. Of course, those always need to be taken with a grain of salt because personal taste enters the picture a lot - so while high-waist cuts might not be recommended to bustier lolitas, if you like it on yourself after trying it on, then don't let anyone stop you from rocking that.<br />So to sum up :P Thank you for this, it was a great post and I'm sure it'll be useful not just to that one person you wrote it for, but for many future lolitas looking for advice. :) Cupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424220962457880734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492273107335212025.post-44106893164653362062018-06-11T15:52:44.341+10:002018-06-11T15:52:44.341+10:00Awesome!
