About EGL and me
EGL (Elegant, Gothic Lolita) or Lolita is a Japanese fashion and subculture. If you want a comprehensive history of the fashion, I recommend Bay Area Kei's video. The style has numerous substyles and eras. The popularity of the fashion, particularly outside Japan, grew from the early 2000s into the mid-2010s. With this came the emergence of different styles, such as Gothic Lolita being popularised by Mana from Malice Mizer and his brand Moi-même-Moitié.
I found EGL when I was around 13 as I had already been engaging with J-Fashion online. I thought Yami Kawaii, Decora, and Fairy Kei were really cool, and so I easily started to like EGL. I think it was Lovley Lor's youtube channel where I saw EGL fully and I was drawn to it but couldn't see myself wearing it at that age. By October of 2021 I had spent more time looking at EGL and watching wardrobe tours and I did want to wear it. I wanted to wear pretty frilly dresses! I really like wearing a fashion that has "rules". I like that it centres cuteness and modesty and that the creativity of it is within certain guidelines (not that these guides, modesty, and cuteness are necessary to creating wonderful coordinates!).
In the summer of 2021 I bought my first EGL items which included a skirt, dress, petticoat, blouses and some accessories. My wardrobe is still quite small, which I do like. This is partly becuause I have sold multiple main pieces, as when I don't love something I will pass it on to fund getting my dream dresses, and partly because it is not something I wear regularly. I would like to focus more on filling out the secondary items in my wardrobe (shoes, and comfy tops), and headwear accessories. Although I find the price of Brand accessories a little extortionate, nothing beats the AP/BTSSB rectangular headresses. I try to wear the fashion at least monthly and often dress down my most casual pieces by wearing them with jeans.
If you want to know more about why I wear EGL and how I feel comfortable in it as a trans guy, then please watch this video! I also sometimes post unboxings and hope to do a wardrobe tour soon.

My wishlist on lolibrary is quite long so I've only chosen my top most wanted dream dresses. I try to mke sure all of my dream dresses would fit me, but some may be on the small size that I'd be willing to alter. I know I'll never get my hands on quite a few of these (╥﹏╥) But if you see any of these for under £250 (¥55,000~) then please let me know! Also, I've only chosen one cut and colour for each piece, even if I want multiple cuts I've chosen my favourite (=/= the one I'd prioritise being or wear the most).
There are also some non-main piece items I'd really like too! But I don't hunt for these in the way I do main pieces. Here are some of my faves:
