Last year i was the only non-loli who attended. You guys were so adorable :] If i had a way i would do the look, but i have no mentor in the process.... :[ I hope you have fun this year though :]
You can always PM me if you wanted to chat or ask questions. I'm always willing to help someone out who is trying to get into the style. 
I might make my own dress. ive done some research:] i just dont have a guide who doesnt buy brand D: to my embarrassment i have no idea to pm DX
Nina Star 9 makes really cute stuff. I've also made my own skirts and dresses before so if you need any more advice feel free to ask.
I actually think it'd be a good idea to plan this before or after the lolita panel/fashion show. As far as I know, that will most likely be on Saturday.
I'm glad people are excited for the panel, unfortunate Fanime stuff isn't able to assign panel times just yet. So even Hellodolly and myself (who are running it) have no idea what day or time it will be. :/ We are of course doing our best to coordinate with Fanime staff to try to not go on during any other lolita events, including this picnic and all of the lolita events happening at Fantaisies dans le Monde des Rêves:

Oh that would be awesome!
Well I guess if the picnic is before the panel it kind of goes along smoothly
Is the panel the same as the previous years? I never got a chance to go to them.
The panel will be similar to last years but we're hoping to make it bigger and better than ever. This time it will only be for an hour, have a more even representation of all substyles in the fashion show, have music in the fashion show and we'll have a powerpoint presentation to go along with the informational portion of it. I don't want to spam miss Lizchan's picnic thread so if you or anyone else has any questions or suggestions about the panel and fashionshow hit HelloDolly or myself up with a PM or check out our thread for that stuff:

My friend isn't coming anymore so it'll just be me. Does anyone have a spare petticoat I could try on since I don't own one? 
I might have a spare :/
If Lizchan33 doesn't, I have tons of extra petticoats.
I hope I can make it.

I'm really excited for the new location this time. As long as this doesn't conflict with the panel/fashion show and Oneesan staff doesn't add anymore events to Sunday I'll be there. If I come I'll surely bring snacks to share, probably something sweet and something savory. I'll just have to leave a bit early to head over to the Onnesan/Fantaisies dans le Monde des Rêves event that starts at 1pm.
