For “Me-Made May,” during which I work on completing things I made by myself, I finally finished a sewing project from almost five years ago, this ruffly underskirt from Otome no Sewing volume 16, which was published in 2021. I have no idea why I started it, as I don’t have any dresses or skirts …

Yesterday was the first Saturday of December which is winter International Lolita Day!
