IMVU Parasol Dream

Last time we spoke I mentioned I had done some designs with a friend for IMVU. These are full lolita sets that we produced and put out into the world. The person who did the illustration and texturing is my close friend Amanda French. You can see more of their art here. Their username on IMVU is 7289 and the store associated with that account is where you can buy products from our brand.

The brand is called Parasol Dream or ParaDream for short. The dream is, of course, to eventually be able to print the fabric and produce real garments. It isn't in our budget now or the near future, but hopefully one day. So enough talking! I will now show you the preview images for our sets. We currently have 2 sets out.


























We design our previews to look like spreads from magazines! I hope you enjoyed this peak into our designs.

IMVU Lolitas

Hello friends! Today I wanted to talk about lolitas on IMVU. For anyone who doesn't know, this is a client game based around socializing. You get an avatar and then use in-game money to dress your avatar however you please. The users design the clothes so there is a huge variety of items available, including lolita! These designers are called "devs". 




There are some lolita devs that are well known on the site; These include Alicehimechan, Pharmacist, and Prota. There are also lesser known devs and small collaboration brands, like mine and my ex-roomate's, Parasol Dream. I intend to do a separate post on PD in the near future. <3
























The wide variety of options means there are literally 100s of lolita dresses on there and 1,000's of accessories. The coords on there can be just as unique and well constructed as those we see in real life. It is a great way to try things for free you might be afraid to try in person. It allows you to own holy grail dresses you might never be able to have in reality. Many of the lolitas on there are not lolitas in their day to day lives for a variety of reasons and they fit in perfectly with those of us who are. If the site peeks your interest it is definitely worth checking out! There are even lolita dedicated chat rooms.

I thought I would share my current lolita coords from IMVU with you. I made a handy graphic of all of them. I'd like to update it every 6 months or so because it is always changing it, but here is what I have now:
























































































I hope you enjoyed this slightly different take on lolita fashion! Have a wonderful day and until next time. <3
