Daily Style: Maid Dress

Another maid outfit test! I wanted to try it with my new wig, i really like the wig with the dress, but i also wanted to try with my new black and white shoes, which i don't think work so well. I also will need a matching maid headband. I have now sewn a white one which would work with this wig.

I like the cat ears but i am not sure if i will be a neko maid. 

This was my original plan for my maid character, with this wig. I didn't have a maid headband to match for the photos so I have just put in a cute pony clip. But I will use a white maid headband when I wear this outfit.

I still can't decide which wig I like best for this! I guess it depends if i will want short or long hair. 

This maid dress was bought on eBay from China and was so tiny i couldn't do it up at the front, so I added white panels down both sides of the dress, to give it the extra inches needed. It worked out really well! I just started cutting at it and pinning white fabric in, i really didn't know what i was doing haha But I am so pleased because the dress itself is really cute!

Outfits: 

Dress: From eBay from this seller, but if you had read my older posts you will know that it didn't arrive in time for what i wanted it for, it took a month and a half, so I thought it was lost and i got a refund but then it showed up a week after that! It did cost £10.12 plus £5.95 postage which after looking around for a dress was a very good price! The dress itself is very lovely, and has a great shape. It is just very small, yes it does say the measurements on the listing but i had hoped that it might stretch, which it does not! The arms were also very tight, so I continued my white paneling up and under the arms too.

Here you can see the white panel that i added, i think it looks fine! You wouldn't even notice that it was not supposed to be there.

Petticoat: From eBay from this seller, I won it for £3.74! It is a nice petticoat, maybe not as full as others but you can keep playing with it and pull it out to get it shape. I might even use two together,  a soft one and this net one, if i buy another one sometime.

Daily Style: Hell Bunny Dress

Today i thought i had my first day back to swedish class, i turned up and no one was there. Apparently it is on wednesday. *face palm* I also had a group of people who also go there, who were obviously talking about me in their langauge and laughing, even pointed at one point! Yay, i feel so comfortable about going there...

Anyway... I went to NärCon to be a Maid of Sakura Garden, it was a disaster. The convention didn't order any food or drink for us to sell! The maid cafe put in their order but we just didn't get anything, not even a till or a microwave. I had to leave early on thursday because i got a migraine from the extreme heat. And i couldn't sleep there in the sleeping hall -__-
I am disappointed that i didn't get to be a maid, but i hope to have another chance at another convention in the future. My dress still hasn't arrived anyway, so i wasn't happy with my outfit in the end so maybe it was for the best. I can show you what i ordered down below. 

Here is today's daily style;

How do you like my Batman plug? I have a Ghostbusters one in the other ear.

Outfit:

Dress: Hell Bunny unicorn dress, i think i picked this up on eBay for cheap. I love this dress it is so comfortable and easy to wear. It also has a really good shape for a simple dress with only having an elastic back. 

Socks: White ankle socks with frills from Primark, although they do not stay up with these shoes!

Shoes: My pink platform trainers, although i left them in the car now after i had to change them to drive in my flat shoes.

Bows: Some purple hair clips i got from eBay

The maid dress i ordered was supposed to look like this:

It still hasn't arrived, but i received a refund today at least. It was from eBay, of course.
So before the convention I had to go out and buy fabric to make an apron and wear it with the best dress i had at the time.

Here are some shots i took as i was sewing the apron. I am not very good at sewing so i was really pleased with the outcome of this apron! I just looked up some different tutorials online and then pretty much winged it, which is what i tend to do actually >.> Oh, and my mini sewing machine broke so my fingers hurt SO bad from hand sewing for hours on end.

I paired it with my blue Hell Bunny dress, but it wasn't quite right. I also put on a white shirt under because the dress had no straps, which wasn't right either. I wore my petticoat i bought for the dress that didn't arrive which was cute, though. If my dress ever arrives i want to try it on with everything I planned to wear to see how it looks. 

Daily Style: Stripes

Another pretty warm day and I went out to the town on my bike for a Fika with some friends.

I tried to do my hair up in these buns, but with such long hair i am not sure if it looks weird, like a rolled up sausage! n.n

And you can really see through my stretched lobes here with my hair up!

Outfit: 

Dress: This dress is from Mercy, they don't seem to have a website but you can find them on some alternative clothing websites. I got this from eBay, it is a Small but it fits me really well! It has a corsetted bit down the front, the straps overlap on the back to form an X and the skirt is big a puffy! And it is just long enough so I can ride my bike wearing it.

Socks: Black socks from TK Maxx

Necklace: This was handmade by someone on eBay, it is a wooden rune with "Thor" written in viking runes apparently. Pretty cool :)

Shoes: I wore my T.U.K flat kitty shoes. 

For anyone reading this from Sweden, I am pleased to announce that I will be attending NärCon in Linköping this July. I will be a member of the Sakura Garden Maid Cafe! It is going to be amazing so make sure you drop by the cafe for some super cute food.
