Tea Etiquette In order for one not to spill the hot liquid onto oneself, the proper way to hold the vessel of a cup with no handle is to place one’s thumb at the six o'clock position and one’s index and middle fingers at the twelve o'clock position, while gently raising one’s pinkie up for balance.
Tea cups with a handle are held by placing one’s fingers to the front and back of the handle with one’s pinkie up again allows balance. Pinkie up does mean straight up in the air, but slightly tilted. It is not an affectation, but a graceful way to avoid spills. Never loop your fingers through the handle, nor grasp the vessel bowl with the palm of your hand. A knit and crochet community. Wild at Heart Sky Texture Grey. Running Wild Rivers Clouds Blue.

The EGL Community - Tutorial for a High-Waist Skirt. High Waist/Corsetted Skirt Tutorial This is a pattern and construction tutorial for a high-waist skirt.
These skirts are particularly well-suited to corset-style details, either with a functional lace up back or a decorative faux lacing (back, front, two at the sides, etc). This tutorial is meant for those with intermediate sewing/ pattern drafting skills. Sewingwise: you should be familiar with panel or princess-seam designs, multi-layered construction, use of reinforcing materials/interfacings, and incorporating decorative features such as lacings. Draftingwise: you should be familiar with drafting patterns for yourself and therefore know how to apply your measurements to a pattern, and how they translate into 2D.
This style of skirt is a particular favourite for Classic Lolita. Typically, the skirt will follow the waistline very closely, up as far as the actual underbust or as little as 2 inches above the waist. SILK FANS. How To Re-Fit a Button-Down Shirt…To Your Size! Fitting 101. Tying in to my first Style It Chic!
Post from yesterday regarding the denim work shirt as current closet staple, in this post I’m going to show you how to fix that denim shirt you stole from your guy – or thrifted – into something that fits you properly. As many of you know, I love finding both my materials and base items for my DIYs at the thrift store. I’m always searching out the biggest, baggiest shirts (so I have tons of material to work with!) For my shirt re-cons. Thus what I find is rarely pretty, and rarely fits. So what to do with those shirts that you find – that you want to wear yourself – but aren’t quite your size??
Can you tell what it is that’s making my shirt look too big in the above photo? Fitting Tip #1: The make-it-or-break-it “does it fit?” I cannot stress this one enough.

The EGL Community - 101 Lolita Lifestyle Ideas. 2014 Lolita Wardrobe Goals. January is my favorite time of year on egl because of the wardrobe posts.
Seeing other people's wardrobes is very inspiring, and cataloging my own shows me what areas I should be focusing in. Last year I spent a lot of energy focusing on main pieces and trying to get through my wishlist. Now that I see my whole wardrobe spread out I feel less worried about getting all my dream prints and more interested in fleshing it out. I'm not saying I'll stop buying main pieces, but I'd like to put more effort into other lolita necessities like blouses and headwear, and I'd like to expand my Classic side. I don't expect to come close to checking everything off this list by the end of this year on top of planning a wedding and looking to buy our first home, but here's the direction I'd like to take to get what I would call my "complete" dream wardrobe: Phew that's ambitious!
