Unless you're one of those crazy Gothic Lolita kids, you may not find this type of fashion entirely 'wearable', but so many crafters are searching for these girlish, Japanese patterns that I thought I'd investigate.
The 'bustle skirt' shown here is based on Victorian styling, and gives a wonderfully OTT Alice in Wonderland look. chiaki_ayumi posted up the full tutorial here on Livejournal, and had lots of Goth-Loli types squeeing with delight in response. For many, many more patterns in this vein -- or just to feast your eyes on some extraordinary costuming -- check out Cosplay.com.
