Information

The purchase of this Lolita outfit was very spur of the moment. I was at a board game gathering at my friend Kevin's place a few weeks before YetiCon (just before Anime North) when Kevin told me that another friend had ordered a bunch of clothes from Aliexpress to be shipped to his place. One of the Lolita pieces was Halloween themed. He showed me the dress and I thought the print was super adorable. It wasn't very expensive, so I decided to order it for myself. The outfit included a long sleeve white shirt with bunny ears built into the back of the collar and a one-piece dress that had a halterneck. The dress is purple with an absolutely adorable dessert/Halloween theme print that includes bears, pumpkins, spooky trees and cakes decorating the skirt. It also has a bat collar and black lace at the hem. It's super cute!

My only major complaint is the fit. It's a one size only piece, which does have stretch, but the bodice is very narrow. As someone who is a bit bigger in the chest, it's really not wide enough to give great coverage. You wear a shirt under it, but it would look a lot nicer if there was more material to give better chest coverage. I also wish it came with a headpiece or bow, but it is nice for the price.

I ended up bringing it to YetiCon 2025 to wear on Friday before the con officially began. I wore it for badge pickup and during the annual Glow Walk that Stillvisions (Kevin) organizes. I paired the dress with a cute Lil Boo light up necklace that I bought online that was from Universal Halloween Horror Nights, so I would actually glow a bit during Glow Walk. My friend Mitch, who was the one that had bought the dress originally and was another roommate of mine at YetiCon, helped me embellish the costume by lending me cat ears, a hat, some jewellery, shoes and gloves to complete the look. She also lent me a parasol. I wore thick tights because I knew I would be wearing the costume late at night with black Lolita socks that I had purchased from a Lolita brand while in Japan in 2008. I also decided to wear my old Kagome wig with the outfit as I figured the wavy curls would make for a nice look.

The outfit was incredibly cute and fun to wear. I walked around with Mitch, who was also wearing Lolita attire, and explored the village area before the Glow Walk on June 13th. Stillvisions took some photos of us. I really enjoyed wearing this outfit. I love the Halloween theme. There is a cat cloak that goes with the dress and I might pick that up in the future. I do wish the outfit had sizing options, but for what it is, it was really nice to wear and still looked great. I might find myself inspired to buy more of these kinds of outfits, and I definitely hope to wear it again for Halloween themed photos in the future!
