I've got an outfit or two, but I haven't been able to wear them in a bit because I gained weight since last winter. :( *iz sad* The main one is really cute, it's a sleeveless purple/black lace top and matching frilly skirt. I wear black opaque tights underneath, sometimes thigh high fish nets, and some super cute victorian boots I picked up at Wal-Mart!
No Loli doll, though. :P
If I can find a picture, I'll send it your way!
Super cute skirt! <3

I get some accessories there, but I'd never buy a skirt there unless it was exceptionally good.
Bodyline sells good Lolita stuff at an affordable price:
