Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene is a Classic Lolita company based in Japan. Often, their designs are considered as the basis and stereotype of the Classic Lolita style. Mary Magdalene clothing is fairly simplistic in design. They use soft, muted colours with dot tulle and chiffon overlays and trims. Never do they use the bright pastels of Sweet Lolita styles. Common colours are bordeaux, navy, muted pale blue, rose, ivory, and black. Lace is less abundant, and when it is used, it is used sparingly. Their laces usually consist of fine embroidery, Venice, and some cluny lace to add an elegant touch to their already high-elegance designs. Soft ruffles are also used to trim garments, and clothing will be occassionally made in subtle, elegant prints.
The designs themselves are mature and demure. They exude elegance, whereas Elegant Gothic Lolita clothing exudes a darker elegance and Sweet exudes youth, brightness, and.... cake. It takes from the elegance of Victorian fashion without adding the dark aspect of Gothic Lolita to it. It instead adds the simply "Lolita" aspect to it by conforming to the general jumperskirt/onepiece/accessories format with voluminous skirts at knee length.
Mary Magdalene does not ship internationally. Therefore, to buy their clothing, you need to use a courier service or watch eglcommsales for the piece you wish to buy.
