UPDATED 11/11/2023: Updated thumbnails to be consistent for the models I'm still currently using as well as fixed some shading issues.
UPDATED 9/3/2023: Corrected height, widened the top hat's brim to make it a little more visible, as well as fixed some errors with the blend shapes that had been bugging me for a bit.
I've liked Lolita fashion for a while now, spesifically Ouji Lolita (I blame my favorite manga, Pandora Hearts). I've never been able to wear it irl though, because of how expensive it is. Then it dawned on me at the beginning of the year that I could just make a Lolita costume for my avatar and it wouldn't cost me a cent.
I took my time researching things because I didn't want it to look like a knock off of a character from Pandora Hearts, that and since my lore is that I'm a Baku, I didn't want to look too similar to Kagamine Len's Trickster design from Nem's Dream-Eating Monochrome Baku. Deciding on the color was probably the hardest though, eventually I went with a chocolate mint theme, since some Lolita outfits I found had candy themes.
