There is something about Alice in Wonderland I just love. I really wanted to dress as her for Halloween last year but when I went to look for costumes they all roughly looked like this sexed-up version:
and I really wasn't into showing off my body for a holiday. I dont know, as far as it seems to me, the girls in Mean Girls are right Halloween is an excuse for girls to dress as slutty as possible without anyone saying anything about it. I don't know why thats the case, because I don't really want to dress slutty any time of the year -- why do it for that day? I want to look attractive, but there are ways to do it without showing off my ass/chest. I think its better to leave to the imagination.
Anyways, I saved a few pics of Alice in Wonderland-type images on my computer, and it all came floating back to my memory when I saw this photo of Lorena Cupcake:
Thats not even a dress, but a vintage shirt and skirt. But, she's a Lolita sweet version of Alice. This picture makes me want to die its so good. Haha.
And I always liked this version, found on google or something:
This look seems very accessible to me...
I just love the little teapot...other than that she isn't very Alice-y...And of courseee,
Alice herself!
Those Mary Janes....
I've had my eyes out for some mary janes (with heels, though) and found some at Macys! So I snatched them up to go with my bridesmaid dress (just gotta approve them with the bride soon):

Love those Mary Janes! I too don't understand why Halloween has turned into a slut-fest. Last time I had a chance to dress up was for a Xmas party I spent the night surrounded by slutty santas/fairies/angels, while dressed as a present (in a huge box). Also, I never noticed how big Alice's calves are in comparison to the rest of her body... Anywho, good luck with the costume-hunting!
I too love the story of Alice in Wonderland, and through the looking glass. I'm having a costume party and have decided to go as her but am having the same issue! Every costume is the same old sexed up crap, or the most daggy grandmother dresses out there. I'm looking into lolita fashion now in desperation and liking what I'm seeing. Good luck with getting a costume together. What a mission!
