As They Sew in France. they sold ready-to-wear Victorian-era reproductions and participated in the fashion shown and in some panels i think.

it was really fun last year. there were some problems with the venue, but the fashion show was gorgeous, everyone was friendly (even the black firefighter's association the hotel double-booked!), and you could tell all the panels and events were put on by people who cared about alternative fashion and lolita.

the venue problems might be resolved because of the new location. it's only the second year but they seem to implementing a lot of feedback they got the first year.

they have mostly Western brands scheduled so far, but Simplicity is a sponsor and they have Rasputina performing. so far i think the only Japanese brands are Triple Fortune and Kokokim.

(if you register, you can put in a request directly to 3F by filling out a poll on the RC website, then if the poll didn't let you specify what you want you can comment on the blog post and they will pass it on to them. unlike the cover contest, you need a registration # to do this though.)

pic related will be exhibiting this year. i bet they are pricey but goddamn i want to touch one of these dresses.
