The Second At Home Lolita Project! Alice and the Pirates x Harajuku Pop Contest

This is a translation of the new contest hosted by Alice and the Pirates and Harajuku Pop. It’s the second installment of their At Home Lolita Project. It’s almost the exact same format as the one hosted by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright I previously translated. Harajuku Pop originally jumped the gun and had this published last week and took it down, but only the formatting of images and contest dates changed.

The theme of this round is “the dark style of blooming flowers and brilliant pirates.” Ouji style and lolita style are both welcome to enter. We are also happy to accept prince and princess remote twinning coordinates.

Roses, dried flowers, even lilies etc…Of course you can wear our original prints with flowers, or even just wearing a corsage or a floral headpiece can fit the theme. We look forward to seeing everyone’s blooming and brilliant style!
