A Dreamy-Eyed Confession

Hello again my loyal readers. Alas, I know I've left this blog to rot but I also haven't had much to write about recently. I sewed up a dress that I need to take in, and I've found some patterns that I want to sew, but I need to find them in a larger size and get some fabric.

This morning, I woke up after 13 hours of sleep, and a dream that my gauges were horribly infected. Luckily, this wasn't true. On the other hand, I was rather depressed, I spent most of the day not eating and moping about...but from that came some good designs for a few lolita-esque clothes. I've decided to participate in a design contest through Bodyline, and if I win, my design will be available in their store and they'll make me a custom one for FREE! I hope to god I win, but some of the desings are really cute...and well I dunno. Here's hoping I win.

In any event, the whole contest thing has started a flurry of creativity within me. I have a few collections in mind, but, as you know, I don't have a store to sell them out of. A friend of mine has been talking about opening a bakery. He said that I could sell my wares there, but I sorta feel as though I'd be incroaching on his dream...

Suddenly, I got a vision of a Victorian parlor full of puffy dresses for sale, coffee, tea, finger sandwitches, and cakes. It was perfect...there would be people on the floor to wait on you hand and food--people experienced in the lolita fashion who would know the difference between kuro and gothic lolita; who would be able to fit you for a proper dress, a corset, shoes and otherwise; and who would, after your purchase, be able to guide you to the cafe area where high tea would be served all day. Upstairs would be my office, a second parlor type area, where I would practice psychology. Complete with chaiz lounges and a Freudian type set up. It'd be amazing~

I'm pretty sure that's what I'd want to do with my life. Sometime later, I'll post picture of my collections...
