Yeah I'm new to the style but have read a lot about it an have looked up different styles an patterns but I'm not sure what I should try out. I really like the boy style but would like to try something else?

So I would appreciate some idea's.

well , mostly it depends on your sewing level. I would look for patterns , (on a few of the other threads) that say easy or 1-2 hour if your a beginner , and work your way up. If the pattern doesn't specify it is usually of moderate difficulty.

Heres a couple sites I like that will have plenty of patterns of moderate difficulty.
If you like the boys style , I would try using the following pattern and making it all pretty. (adding trim and such)

and either adding a jacket , a blouse , or even going with a lengthier coat.
Gaia mail me if you have questions , or just want to be a friend.

I hear the basic lolita skirt isn't too hard.
I have yet to make one, so I am afraid I cannot say if this is true or not.
I have seen several patterns for it. If you would like I can try to find one for you?

My current sewing project is a brocade vest, a rather hard thing to choose for my first time sewing. It is taking a long time to make, but it looks really good so far!
